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

Chapter 665: War in Subterranean World: Close Counter

‘I don’t know how many people have died and the souls of their parents are probably one of the souls that I’ve harvested.’ Souta said inwardly as he stood up and patted the head of the little girl.

The little girl flinched when Souta’s hand touched her head. She thought that he was going to kill her just like how people killed her parents.

“I will get you out of this place.”

Souta said in a light tone as he didn’t want to scare her. He turned his head to the window and narrowed his eyes.

He’s busy killing people left and right that he forgot that he was far away from the walls. His location was close to the central region of this nation. It will take some time before he could escort these children.

Hmm…?

Souta quickly turned around as his eyes turned cold. He felt an energy fluctuation coming at him.

Swoosh!

A two-meter fireball was flying in this direction. It was going to hit this very house precisely.

He raised his hand and gallons of blood surged upward covering the entire house like a barrier.

Boom!!

The fireball exploded and it shook the house causing the little girl to fall to the floor. It was just the aftershock of the explosion. It caused no harm to the children in the house. The blood barrier prevented the fireball from destroying the house.

An incident like this was normal in the current situation. Every minute, various spells would land on some of the buildings causing destruction in the area.

Well, most of the people that were fighting around the three nations were the government and the rebels. Their numbers were higher than the experts of the Red Matter Association and warriors of Athen’s Champion.

It’s just that they were too weak compared to the two organizations.

That’s why most of the spells that would come out of nowhere were just low-tier spells. If it really came from the experts of the two organizations, the whole area would be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Since he could easily block the fireball, it must be an attack from a B-rank or A-rank expert. A simple fireball would be a lot stronger if S-rank or SS-rank used it.

Souta looked at the little girl and said, “I will guarantee your safety. You don’t have to worry about anything. Just follow me and I’ll escort you and your siblings out of this place.”

“I…” The little girl was about to say something when Souta patted her head once again.

“Don’t worry, I will not hurt you. I have a friend who’s a little bit older than you and looking at you, it reminds me of her.” Souta smiled gently.

He remembered Cluster and wondered what she was doing right now. Once he returns to Giza Continent, he will visit her in the True God’s Holy Kingdom. The last time he saw her was at the Blue Lawless City before he got transported to the sub-world.

“You don’t have to say anything. Just follow me, okay?”

“B-But someone said that we should wait here… It’s dangerous outside and said that we should hide here.” The little girl while shaking.

“Wait here…?” Souta rubbed his chin. “Maybe, it’s one of my fellow warriors. It’s fine I think it’s better if I escort you out of this place. Us warriors wouldn’t want to see children die in this place.”

“O-Okay…” The little girl nodded meekly at him.

“What’s your name?”

“A-Airi…”
