The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1056: Battle V



The two Supports frowned and raised both of their hands, casting healing spells on the two Rogues and the Rune Knight. This was the advantage of having Support members on a team; a well-timed buff and heal could make a huge difference in critical moments.

Welfaz stood at the front, staring at Souta. "Let me take it from here. Rest for a while."

The two Rogues and the Rune Knight exchanged glances before nodding at him, then retreated under the watchful gaze of the mighty Blood Lightning Monster.

"Oh, so you're going to fight me... I see what you're thinking," Souta said, a smile creeping onto his face.

This guy was stronger than any of the Sixth Shackles he had faced before. Welfaz was probably as formidable as Ice Death and Thousand Earth had been during the Selnes Country conflict.

"Show me everything you've got," Souta challenged.

"Very well," Welfaz replied, taking a step forward.

"I'll take the initiative then." Souta chuckled as he pointed his sword at Welfaz.

The ground trembled as darkness and light burst forth. Welfaz tried to defend himself, but it was futile. The two elements enveloped his entire body, leaving nothing behind.

"Hmm...?" Souta frowned, turning his head to glance at the Formation Master.

The Formation Master was floating in the air several kilometers away, magic circles swirling in both of his hands.

Souta then looked up, realizing there was a formation designed to lock him down and suppress his power. However, with his current strength, the formation couldn't completely subdue him; it could only weaken him.

Souta raised his hand, and a surge of energy erupted in front of him. He raised his eyebrows, excitement glimmering in his eyes.

"You finally couldn't hold back! I thought you'd just lie there until the match is over!" Souta laughed, watching the intense elemental energy swirling in front of him. He knew Welfaz hadn't been defeated by his previous attack; he was merely testing the waters.

Welfaz stepped forward, radiating overwhelming energy. The elements of lightning, time, and wind swirled around him, causing everything in the vicinity to slow down or speed up. His elemental power had reached the limit of the Integration Stage. If Welfaz were at the Seventh Shackle, he would easily reach the Fusion Stage, the third level of elemental power.

He clenched both fists as a golden glow enveloped his body.

[Fighting Master: Ultima]!!

His most powerful combat art was activated, and as his clothes burst with energy, they further amplified his power. Welfaz was finally making use of the skills from his artifact equipment.

"I see... You can resist the pressure in my dream! The undead I fought before were too weak, so let me test something with you!"

Souta laughed as he charged forward, unfazed by the increase in his opponent's strength. In fact, it only fueled his excitement for the battle.

He didn't care about the Formation Master or the others at all. If this were a life-and-death situation, he would eliminate them first at all costs. But since this was only a match without life or death on the line, he wanted to test his strength.

As the two approached each other, hundreds of humanoid puppets surged toward them.

In the next moment, a wave of energy erupted, unleashing various elements. The puppets were hurled in every direction.

Bang!!

Welfaz and Souta were pushed several dozen meters apart, their energies clashing fiercely in the air.

Welfaz turned his head, glancing at his opponent, and moved. He charged through the puppets, focusing his energy into both fists.

Souta grinned as blood-red light erupted from within his body.

The two figures clashed, creating intense friction in the air. The whistling sound echoed as their energies violently struck the ground, causing massive destruction.

"This is it!!"

The excitement in Souta's eyes reached its peak. He swung his sword madly. Each slash contained enormous blood lightning and the power of dreams, drastically altering the terrain. Darkness and light enveloped the ground, unleashing powerful waves as if an ocean were caught in a raging storm. The energy shot into the sky, destroying the humanoid puppets one by one.

Despite this, Welfaz maintained his stance while exchanging blows with Souta. He was like a small ember in a powerful storm, on the brink of being extinguished at any moment.

He was trying to endure it all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Formation Master maximized his ability, his energy fluctuating as he pushed both hands forward.

Every time Souta struck Welfaz, the Formation Master would use the formation to create a barrier to protect Welfaz. While this didn't stop Souta's attacks, it was enough to reduce their

momentum.

His timing was impeccable, having executed this maneuver several times in the past. One wrong move, and Welfaz would suffer heavy injuries if the Formation Master failed to lessen the impact of Souta's strikes.

Meanwhile, the two Supports continually tried to heal and buff Welfaz while casting debuffs at Souta.

Each of them played their role perfectly, allowing Welfaz to go toe-to-toe with the legendary Blood Lightning Monster.

The spectators held their breath as they watched the intense battle unfold before their eyes. It was a brutal and bloody conflict.

Bang! Bang!

The clash of their energies rang out, strong and fierce, as the two continued to exchange high-speed blows.

"Hahaha! How refreshing! This is my dreamscape, yet you can fight me to this extent! How exhilarating is this?!"

Souta laughed madly as he raised his hand. A net of blood-red lightning descended from above, while darkness and light surged from below.

Welfaz gritted his teeth and took the attack head-on. The lightning, darkness, and light

smashed into his body, causing wounds to appear all over him, but these injuries quickly vanished as his comrades healed him.

"Show me!!"

Souta's [Douion] erupted. Intense lightning, darkness, and light gathered around him as he fiercely swung his weapon against his opponent. He utilized his [Douion] to the maximum of

his ability.

The Formation Master put forth everything he had, creating several layers of barriers to

protect Welfaz.

Souta didn't care about the barriers. He continued to launch fierce attacks.

Boom!! Boom!!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This situation persisted for five more minutes. The entire land was now devastated, but since

it was Souta's dreamscape, it could return to its original state as long as he maintained

[Douion].

Welfaz was experiencing the most intense battle of his entire life. Even with the support of his comrades, he couldn't gain an advantage.

Souta's movements became increasingly swift and powerful. He was strong before, but now the Formation Master could hardly keep up at all. Souta was overwhelming them. Dark clouds covered the sky as countless arcs of blood-red lightning rained down on the field. The Formation Master and the others were forced back, staring at the sight before them in

horror.

Boom!!

Souta's eyes flashed with immense power. He swung his sword, and Welfaz was thrown hundreds of kilometers away in an instant. Souta bent his knees and moved through the

shadows.

"How refreshing!"

An ocean of blood formed, appearing to drown Welfaz. In the next moment, the ocean of blood transformed into countless crimson spikes. Welfaz tried to defend himself, but his

body was still pierced.

At the same time, Souta appeared in front of him.

Welfaz gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't avoid the next attack. However, he felt

overwhelmed at this moment, as if something had changed within Souta's aura. He couldn't

describe it, but the effect of this dreamscape had intensified to the point where he could

barely muster his strength.

"Thank you, I finally achieved it." Souta's voice echoed.

His eyes sparkled with excitement as his aura surged to a higher level, and he swung his sword

once again.

[Douion II]!!

The entire place seemed to crumble as cracks filled the space.

In the next second, everything shattered.

Bang!!

The spectators held their breaths, rising from their seats to look at the arena before them. No

one uttered a single sound as silence enveloped the entire venue.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Souta stood in the air. The dreamscape had vanished; he had exhausted his [Douion], causing the collapse of the dreamscape and returning to the previous

battlefield.

On the ground before him lay the unconscious Welfaz.

"You're strong... Stronger than the people I've fought before."

Souta breathed heavily as he stared at Welfaz. Even though he was tired, a huge smile spread

across his face. He had used this battle as a whetstone to sharpen his [Douion] to a higher

level.

And he achieved it.

In the next moment, Welfaz's body disappeared from the battlefield, reappearing outside of

it.

"He's out!!! The Greater Fighting Star Welfaz was defeated by the Blood Lightning Monster!!" The announcer, Dezmo, broke the silence. "Who would've thought he would be

the first one eliminated!!"

Souta turned his head and jumped into the air. Although he had exhausted his [Douion], he still possessed a vast reserve of best feram from both his monster orb and [Nebula Heart].

Since his power of dreams and elemental power had merged into [Douion], he could no longer

utilize his elemental abilities, as they were now connected to it.

But that was enough for him.

The Formation Master and the others sensed the energy fluctuations and began to retreat, but

Souta wasn't about to let them escape easily.

He waved his hand, and a massive magic circle appeared. His universal-grade artifact, the [Orb of Arcane Seal], spun faster, emitting a brilliant white glow.
