The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak
Chapter 1030: [Hell Fiend]

Chapter 1030: [Hell Fiend]

The rest of the Nine Heads of the Dragon Council had arrived, with the exception of Gerxuzs. After the events in the central region of Hall Plains, Gerxuzs had taken the position of the First Head, while Alexander had become the Ninth Head of the Dragon Council.

The Third Head remained the same. She sat in her seat and closed her eyes.

Souta observed them, noting that each one had grown stronger. It was beneficial for the entire organization. The only group that could threaten the Dragon Council with their current power was the Flaem Clan.

Hono and Erkigal were both powerful experts. Souta could even sense that Erkigal was close to reaching the realm of the hero. She was so close that the energy around her was intense. Although she was tightly controlling it, she couldn't hide it from him with his keen senses.

If she wanted to, she could probably reach it, but for some reason, she was holding herself back.

Souta glanced at Alexander and wondered why he was even interested in this meeting.

Alexander had also become strong. His improvement was astonishingly fast, as he had just reached the Sixth Shackle during the last outburst. His energy was still a bit unstable due to the recent breakthrough.

Jovi, the Fourth Head, stood up and clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention.

"I'll explain something for those who still don't know the topic of our meeting this time. A while ago, our expedition teams discovered something in the southern part of the Hall Plains. Experts in this field have determined that these ruins date back ten thousand years," Jovi explained.

Souta recalled Elder Hanmi, who had participated in the expedition with a few dozen witches.

"As for the rest of the details, the Ninth Head will explain," Jovi said as he looked at Alexander.

Alexander stood up and everyone looked at him. He raised his hand and slowly opened his palm.

Ohm!

A projection appeared at the center of the table. The projection was a huge ancient city. This piqued everyone's attention.

'So this is the reason why Alexander is here.' Souta muttered inwardly while sensing the projection.

Alexander looked at them for a while before he explained, "This is the ancient city buried beneath the southern region of Hall Plains. It's filled with dangerous traps and it has a size of over one thousand five hundred diameters. The expedition team only explored a tiny space of the city. They stopped after they encountered a dangerous formation."

No one asked where he got this information as they knew that each one had their own secrets. Also, Alexander swore in his life that the information he had was one hundred percent accurate.

Alexander continued, "I have a way to disable the formation, but it will take two days. So if you want to explore the city, I want you to prepare yourself, as beyond that formation, there are dangerous things-golems, traps, or anything that could harm you."

Souta closed his eyes. 'Alexander, this guy already has higher-grade artifacts, yet he still seeks more in that city. It seems that there are really valuable things there if they could attract his attention.'

Souta decided that he would participate in the expedition in two days' time.

Erkigal would join the expedition too. It's not that the Dragon Council couldn't reject her; it's just that it's better for her to gain a favorable impression of the organization. She's a powerhouse, and a lot of people wanted to gain her favor.

"The first and second layers aren't that dangerous, but beyond that, I suggest only bringing experts who have broken a great shackle," Alexander added.

...

Back in the unknown lower dimension.

Boom!!

A brilliant light erupted as the sun exploded. A man with a pair of swords emerged from the explosion with a cold look on his face.

"So you've done it... There's no going back now," the man said, staring at Franklin and Eztein with a chilling gaze.

Eztein took a deep breath and said, "Old man, I'll handle that man and the elf. You go and keep the rest to yourself."

"Well, if you say so, then I'm fine with it," Franklin shrugged his shoulders.

The man stepped forward, slowly raising his swords. His energy rose sharply as he activated his combat arts and the equipment skills of his weapons.

"I'm Chan Yu, a member of the Blackstone Immortal Sect, the one who was tasked with managing this universe. Today, I declare that you will be the enemy of our sect. We will kill you no matter what."

The man's declaration echoed through different planets. His pair of swords were red grade, so the boost he received was significant for his current strength.

"Eh, you're really mad, but it will not change a thing whether we become your enemies or not! In the end, you're still weaker than me!" Eztein laughed as he charged forward without hesitation.

That's right, if Chan Yu was really stronger than Eztein, then Eztein wouldn't have been able to kill three of them. Chan Yu would have defeated him alone, but that didn't happen.

Chan Yu glanced at the elf and said, "Use it!"

The elf expert nodded and took out an hourglass from her robe. The hourglass emitted a brilliant light, sending waves of energy in every direction.

Ohm!

Eztein and Franklin paused for a moment, sensing the disturbance in the space.

A layer of barrier began covering the fabric of space in this universe.

"For ten hours, no one will be able to leave this universe. You guys will stay here whether you

like it or not until the Deadly Sins officers arrive," Chan Yu said.

It meant that even if Franklin and Eztein could kill them all, they wouldn't be able to leave

this universe.

The hourglass slowly disintegrated, and the elf expert exhaled heavily, feeling the exhaustion from using that one-time artifact.

Eztein tried to split the fabric of space, but nothing happened. It seemed that it could only be shattered by higher-level beings.

"Hmm... A layer of barrier covers the fabric of space to prevent us from leaving and tearing this universe. It's interesting," Franklin grinned widely.

He bent his knees and charged at the enemies. "Take those two while I handle the rest."

He was still brimming with energy, unlike Eztein and the rest of the enemies who had been

fighting nonstop.

Swoosh!!

He immediately reached one of the enemies and smashed the enemy's head with a small

shield with all his might.

The enemy was a human expert. He raised his daggers to block the attack. The shield smashed into his daggers, sending vibrations through the space.

Franklin kicked the human expert on the side. Then, he raised his hand and a knife flew over.

The treasures he found were just a bunch of artifacts. There was only one dark grade and dozens of lower grades, but it was enough for him. The shield alone was red grade and possessed high defensive capabilities.

These artifacts were floating behind him. He was controlling them using his mana. He wanted

to hide them in the space for a while, but the fabric of space was blocked by a special barrier,

so it wouldn't work.

Franklin activated the equipment skill of the knife. The knife duplicated itself into five, and The quickly threw them at his opponents.

The other five experts were forced to either dodge or block the knives. He was fighting nine experts at the same time. Even though they were exhausted, there were still nine of them.

Bang!

Franklin didn't hold back as he unleashed [Element Drive] once again on top of [Dream Power I]. He also used his combat arts to enhance his combat prowess.

'They already exhausted their elemental power when they fought Eztein, so I have an advantage in one-on-one. I need to create a situation that is favorable to me,' Franklin

thought inwardly.

Swoosh!!

Franklin arrived in front of the human expert.

Boom!!

On the other side of the battle, Eztein was fiercely fighting Chan Yu and the elf expert.

Eztein tightly gripped the dark spear in his hand. He infused it with his mana and felt the changes in the surroundings. He was curious about its ability since it was a dark-grade

artifact.

"That's the [Hell Fiend Spear]. That spear belongs to the Sect Leader, and you dare to use it. Your insolence knows no bounds. You're going to die," Chan Yu said coldly. Eztein laughed before he charged once again. Dark energy seeped out of his pores as both of

his hands turned black.

"Let me try if this is really a good spear!" He laughed, swinging the spear at Chan Yu.

Chan Yu swiftly moved, blocking the spear with his swords. Then, he raised his foot, launching a sweeping kick, but Eztein took a step back.

The two fought fiercely, their weapons dancing through the space at extremely high speed,

sending vibrations in every direction.

Bang! Bang!

The elf expert jumped into the battle, but Eztein quickly moved away, gathering his mana at

the tip of the spear.

[Mad Fiend]!

With a swift motion, he thrust the spear forward. The elf expert avoided it, but Chan Yu was

too late to react. He tried to block it, but the spear grazed his arm.

"ARGH!!" Chan Yu staggered back, sensing the extreme pain in the wound. The pain was so intense that

he was losing his focus on the battle.

Black smoke seeped out of the wound caused by the spear. He tried to dispel it using his

energy, but it was difficult.

The [Mad Fiend] was one of the equipment skills of the [Hell Fiend Spear]. The person hit by the spear would have their pain sensitivity increased by a thousand times, turning a simple pain into intense torture. Even those who normally don't feel pain would feel it, as the spear

would force them to experience it.

The skill didn't possess any tremendous destructive power, but it could disrupt the target's concentration by inflicting excruciating pain.
