[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 602: Execution: Clash

A huge beam of cursed energy rushed forward directly annihilating everything in its path.

Swoosh!!

Souta moved his body but the beam still managed to graze him. His skin quickly turned into ashes and his muscles started to rot.

‘A powerful curse!!’

He narrowed his eyes and controlled his parasite to regenerate the affected area.

Swoosh!

The old man appeared behind him. Souta tightened his grip on the vajra sword and quickly slashed it.

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Second Form: Thousand Oak Absorption]!

Black lightning formed on his palm and it spread out beside him like a spider web.

A wave of cursed energy smashed into it.

Boom!

Souta closed his palm and the black lightning disappeared along with the cursed energy.

The blade of his sword which was close to the old man suddenly stopped.

Hmm?

Souta narrowed his eyes only to see a small barrier made from cursed energy preventing his sword from reaching the neck of the old man.

“If you really wanted to stop me, you should’ve used your monster release.” The old man said before he raised both of his hands.

Swoosh!

He punched Souta’s sword before he grabbed Souta’s collar. Then, he lifted his feet and kicked him away before launching a beam of cursed energy.

“Shit!”

Souta was blown away but he quickly stabilized himself in the air thanks to his [Gravitational Ball] spell. The beam of cursed energy was about to hit him so he opened his other palm.

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Second Form: Reverse Moon Oak]!

A vortex of black lightning formed in front of him. The vortex shoots the cursed energy he absorbed before.

Boom!

Two cursed energy collided.

Souta took a deep breath and stared at the old man. He didn’t just stay in the Athen’s Champion for more than twenty days and do nothing. He wouldn’t forget to train his skills wherever he is.

The mastery of his Archetype had increased so his second form could now absorb an attack that’s equal to a peak S-rank. If raised his mastery level it would be enough to absorb the attack of the powerful shackled realm experts.

“You, you can absorb my curse energy…?” The old man said and then he noticed something from Souta’s hand. “It seems that you couldn’t properly control it.”

Souta’s hand was decaying due to cursed energy.

Souta simply shook his hand and his hand started to regenerate.

“Just like I said you’re just a fake. That’s why I can absorb your attack if not then I wouldn’t be able to absorb it.”

The second form couldn’t entirely absorb the cursed energy of his opponent. The cursed energy that the old man used exceeded the output that the second form could absorb. So he suffered a little bit of backlash.

“Your regenerating ability is magnificent but you can’t remove my cursed energy that easy. It will continue to eat you until you can’t regenerate.” The old man said.
