The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

"What about the other portal? It hasn't been destroyed, right? It shouldn't be, since they have different locations," Torkez asked.

"Yes, sir. Some of our men have already gone through to call Lord Doranjan."

"That's good," Torkez replied, letting out a sigh of relief.

Doranjan's presence, along with his monsters, would be a significant asset. If they could draw power from the formation, they might just have a chance of holding off the enemies.

"Speaking of the barrier formation," Torkez continued, his tone sharpening, "don't let the enemies discover the location of its power source. Keep funneling mana stones into it to maintain the barrier's strength."

He understood the critical importance of the barrier formation. If it collapsed, the enemies would be able to unleash their full might-and that would be a nightmare.

"The formation's enhancement will be active soon," Torkez muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the projection ahead.

Meanwhile, almost everyone in the city paused for a moment, gazing up at the sky.

From the central area to every corner of the city, people could sense an immense amount of energy swirling above. Five different elements were converging, creating a magnificent spectacle in the sky.

"The barrier formation still has this much power..." he muttered under his breath.

The rest of the experts he had brought with him needed to finish their task as soon as possible. If they couldn't completely disable the barrier formation, their mission would become much more difficult.

Turning his attention back to the Nine-Headed Hydra in front of him, Arden spoke with quiet resolve. "It seems this won't be easy for me. But it's fine. As long as I defeat you, everything else will fall into place."

He wasn't concerned by the fact that he was facing the strongest creature in the city. The Nine-Headed Hydra was well known, and Arden had been deployed specifically because of his strength to take down such a formidable opponent.

The only thing they hadn't anticipated was the powerful barrier formation.

It was unexpected, but they were confident they could still handle it.

ROAR!!

Kessa let out a fierce roar as she unleashed multiple [Bestrou] attacks simultaneously. Arden moved with swift precision, dodging all the incoming beams.

Boom!!

...

In the southern part of the city, where Vashno and Eztein were positioned, the battle raged on. Eztein slowly pushed himself up from the ground, his hands beginning to regenerate. In the blink of an eye, all his injuries vanished, as if nothing had happened. ℞âΝＯ฿ЕȘ

"She's too strong..." Eztein muttered under his breath.

Above him, Vashno moved with incredible speed, desperately evading the dots of light that Arie, their enemy, was throwing at him.

Arie glanced briefly at Eztein before turning her attention back to Vashno. With a wave of her hand, she launched another barrage of dots of light.

[White Brilliant]!!

Arie muttered to herself, "I've heard of the abilities of people here-the insane regeneration that makes them nearly immortal. It seems it's not just a rumor, especially after seeing both of you possess it."

Swoosh!!

Vashno was struck by the dots of light. His body was flung violently to the ground, causing several nearby structures to collapse under the impact.

Arie didn't press the attack. Instead, she turned her gaze upward at the barrier formation and said, "This barrier formation will only make your suffering worse. If you simply destroyed it, you would have died without enduring such pain."

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, Eztein leaped behind Arie. He gathered all his energy into his fist and launched a powerful strike.

Arie turned her head, and the dots of light around her converged, forming a semi-transparent shield.

Boom!!

Eztein's punch landed with all his might, but the shield didn't even budge an inch.

Arie flicked her finger, and in the blink of an eye, Eztein was sent crashing into a nearby building, causing a massive explosion.

At that moment, Vashno rose from the ground. He fired a concentrated ray of energy at Arie, but she already sensed it and effortlessly blocked the attack.

Bang!!

Vashno didn't relent. He fired more rays of energy at his opponent while dashing through the air. His combat arts activated, enhancing his combat prowess as his elemental energy surged

Outward.

"Element Drive...?" Arie raised an eyebrow as she turned to Vashno.

"Ahhhh!!!" Vashno roared as he raised his hand above his head. His elemental energy swirled around him, transforming his arm into a massive blade.

[Death Cleave]!!

A colossal energy blade shot out from his hand, slicing through the ground as it surged toward its target.

For the first time, Arie's expression changed. She quickly raised her hand, and more dots of light gathered around her. A shield materialized, colliding fiercely with the energy blade.

Boom!!

The clash of their powers sent violent energy sparks flying through the air, creating a shockwave that demolished nearby buildings and trees.

A deafening sound echoed as the massive energy blade slowly dissipated in the air.

Vashno took a deep breath, his expression grave as he stepped back. He glanced left and right, realizing that many ordinary people had yet to be evacuated.

He understood why they couldn't escape- the intense energy fluctuations from the battle made it impossible for them to move. They were just ordinary people, without any resistance

To the overwhelming pressure.

Vashno exhaled, focusing his attention back on Arie.

Arie wore a neutral expression as she observed her hand. "Fine," she muttered, "Since you're really intent on this, I'll take you seriously."

She slowly lifted her head, her gaze locking with Vashno's. Her eyes flashed with murderous

Intent.

Vashno shivered, sensing the chilling killing intent aimed directly at him.

Arie raised her hand, and hundreds of dots of light materialized above her. In a swift motion, the countless dots shot toward him.

[Destruction Stars]!!

Vashno widened his eyes as the dots of light rapidly closed in. He pushed his body to its

Limits, trying to dodge, but he knew it was futile. In desperation, he relied on the parasite's regeneration to heal the attacks that he couldn't avoid. However, he was aware that this tactic wouldn't work for long.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted above him, filling his body with a fresh wave of power.

The enhancement from the barrier formation had arrived.

"It's here," Vashno muttered, his eyes gleaming with determination as he swung his hand, dispersing the dots of light that had been heading toward him.

"Hmm...?" Arie's expression shifted, her brows furrowing as she observed this unexpected

Turn of events.

Swoosh!!

Eztein suddenly appeared below her, his body radiating with the combined force of lightning and fire. With a fierce cry, he unleashed a powerful ray of energy toward her.

The enhancement from the barrier formation surged through Vashno and Eztein, fueling their bodies and enhancing their combat abilities. Despite this, Arie's power remained

Overwhelming.

"You're getting on my nerves," Arie hissed, her eyes narrowing as she raised both hands.

Suddenly, thousands of dots of light descended upon the entire area like a torrential storm. Vashno and Eztein stood firm side by side, their faces set in grim determination as they raised both of their hands.

"She's still too strong!" Vashno gritted his teeth, feeling the weight of the oncoming

Onslaught.

With the enhanced energy from the barrier formation swirling around them, they erected a defensive shield, their combined power pushing back the dots of light that rained down. However, there were too many attacks. The dots of light continuously bombarded their defenses, forcing them to stand their ground and focus purely on blocking the attack. Their energy flared brightly in the sky, struggling to hold against Arie's relentless assault. The relentless barrage of light continued, the blasts shaking the very foundation of the southern part of the city. Buildings crumbled into dust, trees were uprooted, and debris flew through the air. The ground trembled beneath the shockwaves as Arie showed no signs of

Stopping her assault.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of the explosions reverberated across the city, causing the people nearby to panic.

Soldiers and civilians alike could feel the pressure of the battle, with the air itself vibrating from the intensity of the clashes. Many turned their heads toward the southern sector, eyes wide with worry.

"It's too dangerous here," one soldier muttered, his voice barely audible over the chaos.

The soldiers knew that there was little they could do against such overwhelming power. From their vantage point, they could see the massive figure of Kessa, the Nine-Headed Hydra, clashing with the invader in the central part of the city. It was clear that the battle was reaching critical levels, but even with the fierce struggle happening on both fronts, they couldn't afford to ignore their task.

"That's why we need to finish our job as fast as we can!" another soldier urged, his voice filled with urgency. The chaos surrounding them was overwhelming, but they understood that the civilians still needed to be evacuated. The soldiers' role was clear: Get the people to safety before the city was completely consumed by destruction.

As they hurriedly guided the civilians out of the danger zone, the realization that the city's fate was hanging in the balance settled in. With the barrier formation weakening and no immediate reinforcements from the Athen's Champion, it felt as if the very ground beneath them might collapse at any moment.

The ground trembled as the sudden figure soared through the air, speeding toward the battlefield with undeniable power. It didn't take long for the fighting forces on both sides to notice the new arrival. As the figure drew closer, Arie, focused on her ongoing attack, turned her head to face the incoming challenger.

She instinctively raised her hand, summoning a translucent shield to block the figure's path.

Bang!!

The shield collided with the oncoming force, halting it mid-air. The sudden disruption caused Arie's continuous bombardment to stop for a moment. It was the break that Vashno

And Eztein needed. Without hesitation, both charged forward from opposite sides, closing the distance with incredible speed.

"You're too late," Eztein said as he grinned, recognizing who had arrived.

The familiar figure of Franklin appeared in their midst his signature chuckle ringing

Through the air. He was grinning widely, seemingly unbothered by the chaos surrounding

Them.

"Haha, I just took something."

As he spoke, Franklin quickly raised his hand and threw a spear toward Eztein. The weapon gleamed ominously as it cut through the air with remarkable precision.

Eztein's eyebrows shot up as he instinctively reacted to the weapon flying toward him. The

Spear's presence and power were undeniable.

"This...?" Eztein muttered.

The three of them charged at Arie and fiercely attacked her shield.

"You trash!!" Arie gritted her teeth.

Her energy surged as elemental power erupted from her body like a raging tide.

Boom!!

Eztein, Vashno, and Franklin watched as an ocean of white light descended from above. The entire area was bathed in the light, which began to corrode everything in its path.
