[1-200] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 60 - Meeting Lumilia

Cluster meekly nodded her head. It seems that she was ashamed that she couldn't even protect herself.

"Okay, let continue."

Souta's group continued to walk deeper through the Desolate Woods. Here in the inner parts of the Desolation Woods, battling was present everywhere.

Souta's group sometimes felt the ground shook and sometimes the could hear a loud explosion.

...

Souta's group arrived in the river. They walked towards it but Souta felt someone appeared behind them.

Souta glanced at Bryan and Cluster. It looks like these two didn't felt the presence of that person. He then looked at Yuko and saw that she was aware of that person.

"Let's go." Souta took a deep breath and grabbed the handle of his sword.

He quickly pulled out his sword before he turned around and threw it towards the location of that person.

At the same time, Souta saw the face of that person. It was a middle-aged man with short white hair and a white mustache. He was wearing the clothes of a butler.

Swoosh!!

The Vajra Sword quickly tore the air as it went flying straight to that middle-aged man.

"Wha-" The middle-aged man revealed a surprised expression. He quickly pulled out the sword that was hanging on his waist and parried the Vajra Sword.

Clang!

Souta bent down his knees and charged straight while using [Agility Boost] and [Dash] at the same time. He then jumped in the air when he was close to his sword and grabbed it.

[Stab]!

[Stab]!

[Stab]!

In the mid-air, Souta threw the skill [Stab] towards the middle-aged man. He wouldn't let this middle-aged man escaped.

The middle-aged man was shocked as he couldn't even move because Souta was blocking all his escape routes.

Tugh!

Souta landed in front of the middle-aged man and pierced his palm on the tree using the Vajra Sword.

"Argh!" The middle-aged man groaned and his weapon fell on the ground. "I got careless." He said while looking at Souta's face.

"Fred!" A girl appeared behind them. She raised her sword and pointed it at Souta. "Release Fred and I will forget about this!"

Souta turned his head and looked at her. If this middle-aged man was a butler then this girl was a maid. The maid has long blonde hair that was tied in a bun.

"Souta!"

Bryan, Cluster, and Yuko approached Souta. They were surprised when they saw him suddenly attack someone.

"What happened?" Bryan asked while looking at Souta and the middle-aged man back and forth.

"This man was the one following us," Souta said as he looked at the middle-aged man in the eyes. He gripped his sword tightly and twisted it.

"Argh!" The middle-aged man screamed when Souta twisted the sword that pierced his palm.

"You! Release him!" The girl shouted at Souta.

"Release? Don't make me laugh. You don't have the right in your current situation." Souta sneered at her. "You should understand your current situation first. If you continue to show that kind of attitude in front of me then I will kill this man."

"I-" The girl didn't know what to say.

"In the end, your just all talk," Souta said as he twisted his sword.

"What happened here, Fred? Jusmin?" A feminine voice sounded behind them.

"You!!" Bryan exclaimed when he saw the person who just arrived here.

Souta grew curious so he turned his head and saw that person.

That person was a petite girl with shoulder-length blue hair and blue color pupils. She has thick long blue tails sticking out in her back.

She's Souta's classmate, Lumilia Von Asvares, also the class representative of Mage Class 1-B.

"What are you doing here, class rep?" Bryan asked Lumilia with a curious expression. He didn't even hesitate when he asked her.

"Souta? Bryan? Why are the two of you here?" Lumilia asked the same question.

"We're adventurers so we both doing a quest here. What about you?" Bryan replied.

Souta didn't say anything and he just observed them. He could guess why Lumilia was here. It seems the rumor about the Mystical Light Cherry reached the Ladros City. She was a noble so it was natural that she would receive such information.

Bryan and Lumilia talked about why they were here. Then, their conversation shifted to Cluster. Bryan explained to her how they met Cluster and saved her from those strange people.

Lumilia observed Cluster's appearance when she heard that Souta and Bryan saved her.

"Um... Young miss." Fred said with slight hesitation.

"What is it, Fred?" Lumilia turned to look at him.

"Do you know them?" Fred asked.

"Yes, they are my classmates." Lumilia nodded her head.

"Um... Then, can you please tell them to let go of me?" Fred smiled wryly. After all, Souta's sword was still embedded in his palm.

Souta heard him, so he looked at Lumilia and nodded. He pulled out his sword causing blood to spurt out of Fred's palm.

"What really happened here?" Lumilia asked Souta.

"Hmm... There's someone following us but that person suddenly disappeared. Then, I sensed that someone was behind us so I quickly attack that person." Souta said as he shrugged his shoulder. He's telling them that he couldn't help it.

He sat down and sheathed his sword. He supported his head with his palm and said, "Okay, in return to what I did to him. I will heal him."

Lumilia looked at Souta and asked, "Do you know healing spell?"

"Yeah, just a simple [Light Heal] spell." Souta nodded at her. "Okay, let me see your palm."

Fred looked at Lumilia asking for confirmation.

Lumilia nodded her head.

"Thanks." Fred smiled wryly as he stretched out his palm in front of Souta.

"It's okay." Souta shook his head and used [Light Heal] on his palm.
