[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 409 - Legend

"Is that true?"

The second evolution piqued Souta's attention. He wondered what kind of path does a toxinum goblin had. Did they go back to the normal path? Or did they create their own path? Just like how they opened up the toxinum goblin.

"I don't know. I only receive this information from the previous leader, my ancestor. This information was passed down from generation to generation, leader to leader, hoping that the legends are real." The old goblin, Jarkal, explained.

Hmm...

Souta understood that they haven't seen someone at second evolution for a long time. They didn't even believe that there were second evolution monsters. The previous leader thought that this level of goblin was just a legend but Jarkal believes it. He just believes that there wouldn't be a legend like this if this event didn't happen in the past.

"Can you explain to me this legend?" Souta asked with curiosity in his eyes. This unknown path was new to him. He wanted to know their characteristics and traits for him to have a better understanding of their race.

"According to the information that was passed to me... The second evolution is real. One toxinum goblin managed to evolve to a higher life form in the past. They called it Lethal Toxic Gob. It has an ability greater than the toxinum goblin as its toxin could transform into gas and liquid. The toxin is too strong that it could knock an adult toxinum goblin which was resistant to toxins and chemicals. Its overall strength also is several higher than the strongest toxinum goblin." The old goblin, Jarkal, patiently explained everything to Souta without hiding anything.

Souta was immersed while listening to Jarkal. In other words, this type of goblin was a toxin path. It was much stronger than venomous and poisonous path. The toxin path possessed the characteristics of those two paths. A lot of people think that these two were the same but they were not. If a person bites the goblin and that person died, then it's poison. If the goblin bites a person and the person died, then it's venom. Well, these two characteristics were combined to lethal toxin gob.

It was said that no other creature could touch the lethal goblin gob as the toxins in its body were too strong.

'This evolution path is powerful. I didn't have destructive power but the toxins could kill countless creatures. The only ones who could stop it are those puppeteers and golem creators.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.

'Yeah... But this didn't suit my style.' Souta said to her.

Most of the goblins here didn't believe in second evolution, the legends that were passed down in their tribe. But Souta was different, he believed those legends as he knew that the second evolution monster and above were true. Of course it was true, he and Yuko were the proof of it.

It's just that the goblins in this world didn't saw someone could evolve into second evolution. There's an occurrence of it but it was pretty rare that they treated it as legend.

"I see... What an extreme evolution path." Souta muttered and he glanced at Old Jarkal. "I'm going to tell you that I'm not a human. I'm a blood goblin, a third evolution stage monster. I already formed my monster orb and I'm asking you because I'm curious about the path that your tribe took. It's my first time seeing your kind, after all."

He smiled as he saw Old Jarkal looking at him with a blank expression. He knew that this old goblin was having a hard time believing his words. A second evolution monster was already a legend for them, then what about a third evolution. It sounds unbelievable.

Well, if Souta was in Old Jarkal's position he wouldn't believe it too. But then, Old Jarkal knew that Souta didn't have a reason to lie to him.

"I-Is that true...?"
