[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 929 Battle at the Selnes Country: Red Mist

Souta found himself in a strange and inhospitable land. The sky above was veiled by thick gas, and the temperature was unbearably high. This environment was clearly not suitable for ordinary individuals to survive in.

"Yet, I can sense living creatures within those clouds..." Souta observed, narrowing his eyes in response.

He conducted a quick assessment of his own condition and determined that he was still capable of combat. Battling Nine Yin had compelled him to utilize some of his trump cards, so he needed to be cautious in case he encountered another expert of similar caliber.

For the time being, Souta decided to refrain from using [Dream Power]. It needed some time to cool down, as excessive usage could potentially damage his elemental seeds. He still had some energy reserves, having employed [Insta-Regen] to recover a portion of his strength.

"So, until I locate the Tears of Divine Might, I'll refrain from employing my other trump cards," Souta affirmed inwardly, casting a glance at the [Yin Yang Bracelet] on his wrist. The equipment skill of the bracelet was being saved for a major battle. After witnessing Nine Yin's abilities, he was confident that Nine Yin was weaker than some of the other experts he might encounter. Of course, Nine Yin was superior to Man-Eating Tamer, but Man-Eating Tamer's power lay in the monstrous creatures under his command. Confronting that individual was akin to battling an entire army alone.

Nevertheless, Souta was well-prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead.

"For now..."

Souta's eyes gleamed with determination as he directed his attention toward the living beings concealed within the clouds. He swung the sword in his hand, releasing a colossal energy blade that soared into the sky.

Swoosh!!

The energy blade cleaved through the gaseous clouds, parting them to reveal the figures of the inhabitants. These beings were tall and humanoid, with brownish skin and a horn positioned at the center of their foreheads. What distinguished them most was that they possessed two pairs of arms.

"Oh, what kind of demihumans are they? I've never seen their race before..." Souta mused, his curiosity piqued as he observed them. He speculated that they might be related to the Four-Armed Tribe, but the horn on their foreheads was a distinctive feature he hadn't seen in the Four-Armed Tribe he was familiar with.

The four-armed individuals regarded him with evident fear in their eyes. The energy blade he had just unleashed had the potential to eliminate them with ease.

Souta stroked his chin thoughtfully as he approached the four-armed beings. Although the language they used was distinct from the common tongue spoken in Imperium, they seemed to comprehend what he was saying. The monsters' language was unlike any other language in the world, as it conveyed thoughts directly through words.

He inquired if there was a collapsed space within this land, and to his surprise, they pointed him in a specific direction.

Expressing his gratitude, Souta didn't press them further and instead followed the indicated path.

Swoosh!!

He moved at high speed, covering thousands of kilometers before arriving at an intriguing location.

"This is quite an interesting sight..."

Above, the swirling clouds converged to create a massive storm. At its center, a profound darkness loomed, and purple lightning flashed at regular intervals. Just beneath it, a floating land was covered in colossal trees, while on the ground, a volcano spewed magma, drenching the land in a fiery red hue.
