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

Chapter 122 - I've decided

But there's something that's bothering him. These people didn't have a tiny bit of bloodlust in their aura. It feels like they were not here to kill him.

If so... Then why did they come here? Just to beat him? No, there's a missing piece that he couldn't get to complete this puzzle.

[Agility Boost], [Strength Boost], [Cat's Speed], and [Triple Muscle Strengthening].

Souta used all of his buff spells and combat arts that could temporarily increase his stats for a short amount of time.

'I will subdue them.' Souta decided to not kill them so that he could get more information out of them. They were not a professional assassin so they wouldn't be able to endure his interrogation.

The figure in front of him quickly waved his swords in left and right.

Swoosh!!

Souta quickly took a step back and found that the wall was just behind him. Since there's no time to dodge, Souta used his sword to block the attack on his right side.

He then gathered his mana on his left hand and caught the sword with his bare hand.

The man stopped for a moment when he saw what Souta did.

Souta grinned before he lifted up his feet and kicked the stomach of the man.

Bang!

The man flew a few meters away before he crashed on the ground.

Souta could coat a part of his body with his mana to strengthen it. He could do this with his level 3 [Mana Manipulation].

He was about to dash towards the man once again when he noticed that something's wrong. There were ten people in total that appeared here but only one person attacked him.

Souta moved his eyes and found that the remaining nine people were fighting Yuko alone. He frowned and when saw it but he decided to watch it.

It will be a good chance to give Yuko some battle experience in fighting humans and demis.

Souta turned his head towards the man that he knocked out only to found that man was gone.

"Hmm...?"

Suddenly, a black figure flashed behind him with two sharp swords in his hands. The figure was about to slash his sword when shadows burst out of the ground.

It was so fast that it bound the figure in an instant.

Souta turned his head and looked at the figure. "Stay here for a while." He said as the shadows covered the figure's mouth.

Souta shifted his attention to Yuko and the remaining nine people.

...

Lumilia heard a sound of fighting coming from outside. She was worried about Souta, so she opened the door and saw that Souta was sitting on the ground while watching Yuko fought nine unknown people.

"W-What are you doing, Souta!" Lumilia opened her mouth and asked. She then noticed the man beside Souta.

The man was tightly bound by several shadows. There were several blood holes on his body and it looks like some of his bones were broken. The man's nails were plucked out and scattered on the ground. The skin on the leg of the man was taken off as blood was flowing out of it.

Lumilia opened her mouth widely when she saw such a gore scene.

"Shh!" Souta looked at her and placed his finger in front of his lips. "Come here, I'll tell you what happened."

Lumilia nodded her head and she walked beside Souta. She was disturbed by the scene beside Souta.

Souta glanced at her and he noticed that she was bothered by the sights beside him, so he waved his hand and several shadows emerged from the ground. The shadows covered the man's whole body so the Lumilia couldn't see this sight anymore.

Souta looked around and guessed that the patrolling knights will arrive in this area after a few minutes. He already memorized the time were the knights were patrolling, so these people too.

"W-Why don't you help Yuko?" Lumilia asked as she lifted up her head and looked at Yuko who was fighting nine people at the same time.

"Hm. That's a good question. The answer to that is I wanted her to gain some experience in fighting humans. I will let it be and only finish it when the knights are going to arrive." Souta said as he watched the battle.

Yuko already took several cuts on her body. The people that attacked them weren't as powerful as the assassins before, so it's not a problem to her.

This morning he overreacted when some random noble guy cut Yuko's side, but now Yuko has several cuts on her Body Souta didn't even do anything. He just continued watching her fight.

Well, for him the incident this morning was different from here. They were relaxing this morning and those guys disturbed them, so it's natural to punish them. Right now, it's training time. It's natural to receive wounds and injuries when you're in a battle.

"I'll tell you something before the patrolling knights arrived." Souta paused for a moment before he continued, "These people are from the Vidrato Family. Gregory, that fat man sent these people to kill Yuko. They knew that they couldn't kill me because of the Ladro Institute behind me that's why they shifted their attention to Yuko."

"What?" Lumilia was stunned when she heard Souta's words. To think that all the warning she said was in vain. Gregory still dared to trouble Souta despite knowing that he had Ladro Institute in his back.

"You know, I'm hypocrite. I'm not a Saint." Souta's tone turned colder. The atmosphere around him started to change. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I've decided, I will kill them all."
