The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 641: Foundation



Chapter 641: Foundation

“Did you know the situation of the world?” Souta asked seriously.

Live peacefully. That sounds good and he also wanted to live like that… But it seems impossible after knowing what will happen in the future.

Aside from the events in the game, Souta was extremely wary about those unknown enemies that gods, demon gods, spirit gods, and monster lords fought twenty thousand years ago. It was a major event that annihilated most of the highest-ranking powerhouses in Imperium.

A tragedy that no one knows.

Up until now, the event twenty thousand years ago was still a mystery for most people in the whole cosmos.

“What do you mean?” Alexander felt the seriousness in Souta’s tone.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the demon invasion. The entire population of God’s Continent knew that the demons are waging war at the edge of the land. They already conquered dozens of countries in a short amount of time.”

“What about it?”

“That’s the only thing that the top faction couldn’t hide from the public’s eyes. Aside from that, there are still hidden currents slowly encroaching the land without us knowing. Only people in certain factions knew about it.”

“So you are saying…”

“Yes, why do you think the warriors of Athena are here in this kingdom? Why do you think the Red Matter Association is just showing themselves at this moment?” Souta paused for a moment. “This is only the tip of the upcoming events. Various organizations are moving at the same time and dozens of kingdoms like Fone had been burned down in just a short amount of time.”

“It’s the start of chaos. Gods are already arranging the battlefield. They are looking at the entire continent as if it was a chessboard and us, mortals, are their chess pieces. A great war will occur soon so you should join an organization that can help you before it’s too late.”

Alexander sighed as he closed his eyes. After a while, he opened it again. “That’s more of a reason why I should travel now. I have to do something before what you said became true.”

“It seems that I can’t persuade you even if I offer you a bunch of resources.” Souta smiled in defeat.

“I can get resources for myself. I wanted to know why you wanted me to join your group even telling me all those stuff.” Alexander curiously.

“Just like what I told you before. You have vast potential. I’m sure that you will achieve godhood in the near future.” Souta shook his head. “If I was a human or demi, would you join my group or not?”

“My answer is still the same.”

“I see…” Souta smiled. “I’ll finish our discussion now. I’m Souta Ieshi, remember my name. I’ll remember yours and I’m sure we will meet again in the future. If you have any problem you can always ask me.”

“Thank you for your understanding. I’m Alexander Dreyfus, it’s my pleasure to be your acquaintance.” Alexander shook Souta’s hand.

Since he couldn’t recruit Alexander, he could only befriend him and slowly establish a connection.

Alexander will become the Ancient Myriad Emperor in the future. He just hoped that when the time happens, he will not forget him.

“If you encounter any problem that you can’t solve alone, you can go to Athen’s Champion and find me. You can even hire my squad as long as you can afford it.”

With that, Souta left. He already expected this outcome. He knew that Alexander wouldn’t join Astros.

Also, he didn’t want to force Alexander to join his group. There were still a lot of chances in the future. He will slowly build up their relationship.

Souta glanced at the system.

[Congratulations on completing the Quest “Terror in Fone Kingdom”!]

[You’ve received 10 skill points, 15 free attribute points, and 100,000 experience points!]

[Congratulations on completing the Quest “Rising Golem”!]

[You’ve received 10 skill points, 15 free attribute points, and 10,000,000 experience points!]

‘I don’t even know how I completed these two quests…’ Souta said inwardly. Glancing at his points, he found that he had a total of 38 skill points.

Ten shadows rose behind him. The [Doppelganger] was casted silently.

Souta stretched his body as he sat down on the corner while the ten shadows dispersed in every direction. They would try to find any equipment left on the battlefield. He didn’t want to do it on his own so he summoned his shadows.

Controlling ten shadows was hard but since he wasn’t going to fight, he could somehow handle it.

He went back and focused his attention on the system.

Skill point(s): 38

Free attribute point(s): 61

He wouldn’t unlock the remaining abilities in the legacy that he got. It was too dangerous for his current power level. He knew it since Athena already warned him about the dangers of possessing a [Cosmic Body].

So he would upgrade his class for now. His class got stuck at Rank 3 Battle Mage for a long time. It’s time to advance it to Great Battle Mage. The class that he got in the game.

Spell(s):

Tier 1: [Fireball] Level 1, [Ice Shot] Level 1, [Light Heal] Level 1, [Agility Boost] Level 1, [Strength Boost] Level 1, [Mud Slide] Level 1, [Shadow Bind] Level 10, [Shadow Spike] Level 1, [Shadow Ball] Level 10

Tier 2: [Gravitational Ball] Level 10, [Dark Cloud Hunting] Level 10, [Dark Shooting Ray] Level 1, [Doppelganger] Level 10

The only useful spells for him were the dark and light attributes since they were buffed by his affinities. The other tier 1 spells were useless since he was fighting an opponent that broke a shackle. A mere tier 1 without the help of his affinities wouldn’t work at those levels of people.

It’s time for him to decide what skill he would use to promote his rank. Last time, he used the [Night Overlord’s Aura] and [Doppelganger].

He looked at the available skills in his skill tree.

[Shadow Dispersion], [Shadow Damager], and [Ominous Touch].

These three for spells.

[Dark Menace], [Spare the Dark], and [Night Ray Thrust]

And these three were for combat arts.

He had to choose one spell and one combat arts and level them up to level 10. That’s all he needed to advance his class to the third class.

Souta chooses [Shadow Damager] for spells and [Dark Menace] for combat arts. The [Shadow Damager] lets him lock onto one target and that target will fully synchronize with the shadow. Then, they could receive damage by attacking their shadows.

In short, he could attack his opponent’s shadow using this spell.

As for the [Dark Menace]. It was a simple combat arts that could boost his other dark attribute skills for a short amount of time. The other combat arts were defensive and offensive but he didn’t need them at the moment. He preferred to stock up all of his buff skills to boost his combat power in a battle since he didn’t lack any offensive or defensive skills.

As for the other spells, they were good too.

The [Shadow Dispersion] was a spell that could weaken his opponent’s dark attribute attacks. It would make it easier fighting another dark attribute.

The [Ominous Touch] will add a part of his energy with some corrosive properties. It could instantly corrode people below S-rank without enough resistance.

“Good. These are enough for me.”

Souta smiled and used some of his skill points to learn his two chosen skills.

*Ding!*

[You’ve learned Shadow Damager!]

*Ding!*

[You’ve learned Dark Menace!]

The knowledge about these two skills was poured into his mind.

Souta closed his eyes and studied the knowledge for a few minutes. He only opened it after he grasp the fundamentals of these skills.

He opened and closed his palms, feeling the power within. His knowledge about spells wasn’t great as he could barely understand any tier 2 spells. But thanks to Eilish, he was slowly grasping the structure of the tier 2 spells.

If he continued to study, he would be able to cast a tier 2 spell without using the magic circle in his inner consciousness.

“I’m getting better and better…”

Souta said with a sigh. At this moment, even if all the magic circles in his inner consciousness disappeared, he could still cast all of his tier 1 spells manually.

Dark attribute for skill tree and light attribute manually.

That’s his goal for now. He will manually learn some light attribute skills once he returned. He had a light attribute now so he had to use it to make his combat style more versatile.

He glanced at the remaining skill points.

Skill point(s): 34

It wasn’t enough to level up one of his spells to level 10. At the very least, he already set up a foundation for his class advancement. It was enough for him.

Souta smirked. He stood up while stretching his arms.

“Okay, it’s time to join the main force and let the real battle begin.”

The real battle between the Third Set of Pallas Division and the Red Matter Association will begin soon.
