The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1077: Destruction of the Ekatoe City: Souta vs the Messenger of Gluttony



ARGH!!!

Souta roared fiercely. His energy exploded as blood-colored lightning erupted in all directions, forming a powerful storm of violent energy, with him at its center.

The Messenger stepped forward and raised his hand. His energy erupted as well, attracting Souta's attention.

ROAR!!!!

Souta roared, and crimson-colored armor covered his body. His figure flickered as he dashed toward the Messenger of Gluttony.

Swoosh!!

Countless black strings emerged. Souta swung his hand swiftly, slicing through the black strings coming at him. In the next moment, he arrived in front of the Messenger.

The Messenger opened his palm, and black strings formed around it, quickly turning into a sharp sword. He immediately swung the sword at the incoming monster.

Bang!!

The two fought fiercely, their energy clashing and causing widespread destruction.

Erkigal landed on the ground, covered in blood. She stared at the fierce battle in front of her before glancing at Alice.

"Go," Erkigal said. "Seventh Head has lost control of his power and will soon be subjugated." "What?!" Alice turned her head, eyes wide in shock.

"You should've known it," Erkigal continued, her tone grim. "It's always been like this, right? Every time a monster loses control, they are subjugated. I'm sure Seventh Head knew this." She paused, her gaze flickering to the battle. "He's already affecting the other monsters. At this rate, there will be a monster tide, and it will involve all the monsters in Ekatoe City- monsters that you know."

Alice didn't reply. Instead, she stared ahead at the battle, her eyes filled with concern.

"You need to go now!" Erkigal urged. "I'll try to lessen the impact of the battle." Boom!!

A loud explosion erupted, sending Souta crashing to the ground. His body caused a massive crater, which immediately filled with blood. A huge gash ran across his chest, tearing his armor into pieces.

Thud!

The Messenger descended, eyes fixed on Souta as he slowly rose from the blood-soaked crater. He watched in disbelief as the wound on Souta's chest began to heal, and the torn armor repaired itself, absorbing the blood around him.

Souta turned his head, his eyes burning with madness.

Roar!!

The Messenger of Gluttony raised his sword, sensing something. He quickly looked up, only to see several spatial rifts opening in the air, releasing white smoke.

"Dream..."

The white smoke swirled rapidly, quickly engulfing the area. The entire landscape began to shift. The sun became trapped in a perpetual twilight, and the sky crackled with red lightning.

'Dreamscape...'

The Messenger turned his head, seeing Souta now floating in the middle of the sky. Lightning coursed through his body, and both of his hands radiated with the combined power of darkness and light.

Black strings emerged from the Messenger's body as he bent his knees and charged toward Souta.

Swoosh!!

Seeing the Messenger charging at him, Souta roared. Blood gathered around his palms and transformed into swords.

Clang! Clang!

The Messenger and Souta exchanged rapid blows, their weapons clashing with incredible force.

Bang!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Messenger was momentarily surprised. Despite being consumed by his power, Souta's combat skills remained exceptional. His movements were deeply ingrained in him, and even in his maddened state, his fighting style remained precise.

...

On the outside, Erkigal and the others immediately retreated as the white smoke filled the entire area.

"Dreamscape..." Erkigal narrowed her eyes, staring at the thick white smoke.

"This is something that the Seventh Head used back in the ancient ruins, but judging by the intense fluctuations... his Dream Power is stronger than last time," the Fourth Head said. The white smoke continued to expand, devouring everything in its path.

"Back away! Anyone caught in it will be transported to the dreamscape!" the Sixth Head shouted.

The witches who had been fighting immediately began retreating. The situation had grown even more dire, as their leader, the Blood Lightning Monster, had lost control of his power.

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, several figures clad in armor descended from above. Each one radiated powerful energy.

They stared at the dreamscape and narrowed their eyes.

"So we're too late... A dreamscape has appeared."

One of the warriors stepped forward and glanced at Erkigal. He asked, "What happened here?"

Erkigal glanced warily at the figures and asked, "Who are you?"

She could sense that the warrior who had questioned her was no weaker than herself. It would be troublesome if these warriors were enemies.

"Hmm? We're from Athena's Champion. We were dispatched here after Grain Leader Souta left the Champion's Den," the warrior said, turning his head back toward the dream fog. "But it seems we're too late. Grain Leader Souta has lost control of his power and will be put under

subjugation."

The other warriors unsheathed their weapons, and their energy erupted like a volcano.

"But before that..." The warrior at the front turned to look in the direction of Kessa. "The hydra is being affected by Grain Leader Souta, so deal with the officer of the Deadly Sins over

there first."

Three warriors stepped forward and flew into the air, their target none other than Arden, who sensed their arrival.

Kessa had to leave the city before she became consumed by the power within her. Doing so would leave Arden alone, and it was unwise to leave a strong person like him unchecked. They

had to deal with him to prevent him from disrupting everything here.

The rest of the warriors stepped forward and allowed the dream fog to engulf them.

Swoosh!!

When they opened their eyes, they saw an entirely different scene. It felt like the end of the world as two figures fought fiercely in the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Souta opened his mouth wide, and the four spider limbs on his back aimed at the Messenger.

A massive concentration of energy gathered at his mouth and the tips of the spider limbs.

In the next moment, he fired a [Bestrou] toward the Messenger of Gluttony.

Ohm!

The beams tore through the air, sending shockwaves through the area. The Messenger of Gluttony dashed to the side, narrowly avoiding the beams, but Souta continued to aim at him.

Swoosh!!

The Messenger moved side to side, dodging the beams coming at him. Energy gathered at his sword as black strings from his body pierced the sea of blood below. The black strings rooted themselves in the sea in an instant before he stopped moving and swung his sword.

A massive dark energy blade collided with the beams.

The collision of the attacks caused a massive explosion that illuminated the entire area.

Black strings quickly emerged from the sea of blood, tearing through the thick smoke caused by the explosion. Souta observed this and launched a fierce strike.

Blood-red lightning descended from above. Then, darkness and lightning seemed to come alive as they wriggled toward the Messenger of Gluttony.

The Messenger retreated, trying to avoid the attack. His energy pushed back against the pressure of the dreamscape. The oppressive power of the dreamscape was terrifying. If it were another expert, they would have been immediately suppressed in this realm.

He moved, continually firing energy blades.

Bang! Bang! The Messenger and Souta fought relentlessly, disregarding everything else. The entire

dreamscape was filled with violent energy.

A blinding light erupted as the Messenger of Gluttony managed to get close to Souta. They engaged in another round of close-range combat. Every time they swung their fists or weapons, a powerful shockwave was generated, dispersing the smoke around them.

In the distance, the warriors from Athena's Champion watched the battle unfold before their

eyes.

"Should we interfere, Sir?" One of the warriors looked at the leading warrior.

"No, it's too early. Let them fight for a while. We'll eliminate the Messenger of Gluttony and

then proceed to subjugate Grain Leader Souta. Still... To think that a Messenger has appeared here is beyond my expectations." The leading warrior replied.

He was Trander, the Chief Captain of the First War Set. Leyn, the Chief Captain of the First Wisdom Set, had dispatched him to this place. But the appearance of a Messenger of Gluttony in this small city was unexpected. He knew that Messengers of Gluttony had appeared in various cities under attack at this moment.

The current situation against the Gluttony Army was reaching its peak. Several Holy Lands were about to make a move, and it would be devastating. Countless people would be affected. Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted. Trander and the rest of the warriors couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Brace yourselves!" Trander shouted to his subordinates.

Ohm!

This energy fluctuation pierced through the boundaries of dream and reality. Everyone in

Ekatoe City turned their heads toward the thick white smoke, sensing that the fluctuation

originated from there.

Amanda, who was carrying Eilish, paused. She turned her head and felt goosebumps

spreading across her body.

This is bad!

Isabella arrived before her and said, "Hurry up! We need to go now! We can't stay here any

longer!"
