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

Chapter 942 Battle at the Selnes Country: Fighting the Earth Drill Centipede

In another dimension...

Asfrith and Thousand Earth exchanged a glance, sensing the overwhelming aura of a fifth-stage monster permeating the air.

"The presence of a fifth-stage monster... Is our opponent powerful that they resorted to that level of power?" Thousand Earth muttered, analyzing the shifting energy.

Asfrith's gaze narrowed in response. He sensed imminent danger and realized the situation was turning dire on their side.

"Hmm..." Thousand Earth paused, detecting a crucial detail. He turned to Asfrith and spoke, "Enjoy yourself... Our objectives here are fulfilled. We shall cross paths again in the future... With your strength, I trust you'll withstand the onslaught of Man-Eating Tamer."

With those words, Thousand Earth vanished into the air, leaving Asfrith standing alone. Asfrith's mind echoed with the name "Man-Eating Tamer."

Could it be that the escalating energy surge was caused by this very individual?

Moreover, from Thousand Earth's words, it appeared they intended to depart from this realm soon, leaving Man-Eating Tamer to sow chaos and destruction in their wake.

Asfrith's thoughts were occupied by the recent events. The sudden appearance of the fifth-stage monster within the All-Filter Barrier Formation had brought an air of imminent collapse to the once-protected realm.

"Today marks the end of the renowned All-Filter Barrier Formation," Asfrith muttered, contemplating the unfolding chaos.

Feeling the exhaustion from his relentless battle with Thousand Earth, Asfrith took a moment to assess his condition. He sat down and coughed up blood, acknowledging his numerous injuries incurred during the intense combat. His defenses were in tatters, leaving him vulnerable.

"In this state, even a Four Shackle opponent could overcome me. The altercation damaged my field and defenses extensively. The same could be said for that guy perhaps that's why my opponent withdrew; continuing the battle would only yield more harm," he murmured, leaning against the wall as he contemplated the situation.

...

Adel soared above, enveloped in azure flames, his hands brimming with swirling energy.

With a forceful shout, he unleashed his attack, [Frost Flame Vengeance], a torrent of icy blue flames surging outward, freezing much of the area.

However, the centipede remained unfazed, merely retaliating with another devastating beam.

Cursing under his breath, Adel swiftly maneuvered to evade the incoming blast.

Meanwhile, Shen Yao appeared above the monstrous centipede, her radiant golden aura coalescing around her fists, poised for a powerful strike.

"Eat this!"

Shen Yao roared as she punched the head of the centipede. The impact of her punch sent shockwaves everywhere, but the centipede emerged unharmed. It simply moved forward, repelling her with an expanding energy field.

Bang!

She rolled in the air before managing to stabilize her posture, tasting a bitter hint of blood in her mouth.

"Tsk! I need more power... I won't be able to injure it at this rate."

Shen Yao clicked her tongue in annoyance. The centipede's exoskeleton was remarkably tough. Piercing it with her attacks would be quite the challenge.

Her only chance lay in targeting the same spot Souta had cut.

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes, focusing on the enormous slash on the centipede's carapace. She then glanced upward, noticing dozens of peculiar creatures.
