[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 637: Terror in Fone Kingdom: Future Cutter

Souta designated this man, Gremina, the most dangerous Two Shackles Realm expert that he saw. He was stronger than the average squad leader from Athen’s Champion by a lot.

His instinct as a monster was screaming. He should run away as far as possible from this man.

If Souta really couldn’t handle this man then he would run away. Using his release form at this moment would only weaken him in the next battle.

This was just a side quest. This was just the first battle so he couldn’t use his release form carelessly. He would have to fight Three, Four, or Five Shackles Realm experts when they raided the main base of the Red Matter Association.

Completing that quest was much more important than this side quest.

The release form of fourth stage was several times stronger than third stage monsters. But that cheat skill has side effects on his body, especially since he just evolved a few weeks ago.

Just like how he felt exhausted when he used the release form when he just reached the third stage back then. The side effects slowly disappeared as he advanced through the third stage reaching intermediate, high, and peak stages.

The same could be said to the fourth stage. So the side effect was still strong at his current level. It was much stronger than that time.

This was the reason why the current release form could be only used in emergency situations.

If he couldn’t run away from this elf, then he would use it to save his life.

This was the first battle. A clean-up for the upcoming war in Mirror Lake. If he was exhausted or weakened then he wouldn’t be able to contribute to promote their squadron. Also, there’s a huge chance that he wouldn’t receive any cards as a reward.

As for this side quest, the rewards were fixed. He would only receive skill points, attribute points, and experience points. There’s nothing more and less.

That’s why using his ace this early will be a loss for him in the upcoming battle.

‘You should run away.’ Saya suggested.

Even Saya could feel the dangerous aura around Gremina.

‘But it’s your responsibility to stop the activation of the golem. The Tenth Grain War will suffer huge casualties but it will be hard to do so if that elf is blocking our path.’ Saya said.

‘Yeah, it will be difficult. I wanted to contribute high in the main battle to raise my achievements so I can’t use my release form.’ Souta said to her as he slowly took a step back.

‘Promotion of your squad, huh? If you want to prevent more casualties then you should go all out, but it also means that you will not be able to participate in the main battle. You will only become a backup personnel if you got exhausted in fighting here.’ Saya said.

‘I’m sorry for the others but I still think that I should run for now.’

Souta was rooted on the spot. A dangerous aura was creeping on his body.

“I’m sorry but you have to die right now. I can’t let anyone know where I’m from.” Gremina said in a cold tone.

“Who are you? And why are you in Red Matter Association?” Souta asked even though he already knew the answer.

The purple snake tattoo on the elf’s chest was familiar to him. It was the cult and believers of Yamata no Orochi. A powerful and sealed monster lord that once suffered a defeat at the hands of Susanoo.

The Eight Serpent Cult.

They only had one goal. And that was to unseal Yamata no Orochi.

“You don’t need to know, monster. Or do you want me to call you warrior of Athena?” Gremina said as he stepped forward. “You can use your release form but I don’t think that will work.”
