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

Chapter 176 - Evolution

"Am I going to die?" Old man Jared muttered with a blank expression.

"Yes, if I didn't help then you would surely die after one hour," Souta said to old man Jared with a serious expression.

"Thanks for your help. But what happened to the city?" Old man Jared looked at Souta with a grateful expression.

"Hmm... That's a good question. I want you to prepare yourself." Souta said as he walked towards the window and opened it. He added, "A group of dark vine eaters attacked the whole Fersch dukedom. The other people experience what you experienced just now. They were unconscious and the monsters were free to attack the defenseless people of this dukedom."

He explained everything to old man Jared, including what he found in the duke's mansion.

Old man Jared opened his eyes widely while listening to his explanation. He still couldn't believe what's happening in the dukedom.

"That..." Old man Jared muttered with a dazed expression. Souta told him that the duke was gone and someone was controlling him. The city became a sacrificial den for the monsters of the tamer.

*Ding!*

[Congratulations on completing the Investigation quest!]

[You've received 20,000 exp, 8 free attribute points, and 5 skill points!]

This was Souta's purpose in coming here. He wanted to finish his report and get the rewards before fighting the mastermind.

Souta looked at old man Jared and said, "I already completed my quest to investigate the duke and I've given you my report. After this, I'll wait for my rewards as you promised."

"Okay." Old man Jared looked down at his feet and was feeling hopeless.

Souta looked down at the old man and said, "What will you do? You're homeland is getting destroyed by some unknown person. Everything in this city will be gone after this incident."

Old man Jared slowly lifted up his head and asked, "Is there a way to avoid this?"

Souta grinned inwardly when he heard old man Jared's words. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "No, there's no way to stop this."

Old man Jared felt something when he heard Souta's words. He felt hope contradictory to Souta's words. Souta said that there's no way to stop this but he felt the opposite.

He grabbed Souta's foot and said, "C-Can you do it? P-Please, h-help us..." He said those words with the hope that Souta will help him.

Souta looked down at old man Jared and said with a cold look, "What will you give me in return?"

"I..." Old man Jared was lost in thoughts.

"Everything... Give me everything that you have." Souta said with a cold expression.

'You're like a demon.' Saya commented.

...

Ohm!

In an instant, the dense best feram in the atmosphere was sucked by the creature inside the duke's mansion.

"It started!!" The guild master exclaimed as he looked up at the duke's mansion with wide eyes. The worse thing was starting right now.

He turned his head and looked at the red fur bear beside him. He saw that the red fur bear was also looking at him.

"Do you understand me?" The guild master asked.

Yuko just tilted her head in confusion. She didn't know what this guy was planning to do.
