The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1029: Meeting



Franklin and Eztein had been battling tirelessly across ten different planets, causing massive devastation as their clashes shattered worlds. The intensity of their combat had left both sides exhausted, with the destruction stretching across the universe.

Eztein's voice was strained as he spoke, "This is the eleventh planet... I don't think I can last longer."

Franklin, equally weary, replied, "They are getting weak too."

Eztein, despite his fatigue, remained determined. "I know. Their [Element Drive] won't last much longer. It's our chance. Our elemental power is stronger than any of theirs, so we will still have the boost from [Element Drive] while theirs will disappear."

He took a deep breath and added, "Go now. I'll handle the rest of them."

Franklin raised an eyebrow, surprised by Eztein's confidence. "You'll take all of them?"

Eztein nodded firmly. "Yes. I will hold them off. You need to find the treasure. I can't let any of them follow you."

Franklin's expression showed a mix of skepticism and respect. "Alright. I'll leave it to you."

"I don't want to use my other element since it's hard to control three elements at the same time," Eztein said.

"I see... Then, I'll come back soon and help you kill those guys," Franklin said before he descended to the planet below.

Boom!!

An intense energy wave swept out as the space was shattered. Several figures walked out of the rift, looking at Eztein with eyes filled with anger and madness. There were only two targets, and despite their advantages, they had failed to deliver a lethal blow multiple times. "I'm tired of waiting, you know? I'll take all of you," Eztein said with a smile.

The man with a pair of swords narrowed his eyes. He knew that their targets weren't ordinary experts.

"You're going to stop us alone? I already realized your goal here. All ten planets we've visited before have some common elements. It's related to us," the man with the swords said.

The elf glanced at the man before turning her attention back to Eztein.

"You're trying to uncover the truth about us. Unfortunately, you're going to die today whether you like it or not," the man declared.

"Eh~ let's see if I'll really die," Eztein replied with a wide grin. He bent his knees and launched himself forward.

He raised his other hand, and a massive surge of energy erupted.

[Triple Element Drive: Earth, Lightning, and Fire Force]!

The overwhelming wave of elemental energy sent the opponents sprawling several thousand kilometers away.

Eztein's affinity with three elements had always been inherent. When Souta first met him, he had only mastered [Earth Force]. In recent battles, he had begun using [Fire Force] and [Lightning Force] as well. Controlling three elements simultaneously was no easy feat, and he deeply respected experts who could manage even more.

He knew firsthand the difficulty of [Triple Element Drive]. Boom!!

The man's eyes widened in shock. "Triple elements!"

The rest of the experts were equally stunned, but Eztein didn't give them a moment to regain their composure. He swung his spear diagonally, sending the three elements swirling in their direction.

Eztein took another step, covering a vast distance.

[Dream Power I]!

"When I say I'm going to stop all of you, I mean it. I have the strength to do it."

Eztein raised his spear high as white mist seeped out of his body. He then charged forward and thrust the spear.

Swoosh!!

The man with the pair of swords widened his eyes. He crossed his swords to block the spear. Clang!!

He gritted his teeth and tasted blood in his mouth as the three elements swirled powerfully at the spear's tip.

In the next instant, he was sent flying. His figure vanished and crashed heavily into the sun of this star system.

Boom!!

Eztein took a deep breath as he surveyed the remaining opponents. His Dream Power, Manifestation Dream, allowed him to double any attack he executed. It acted like a mirror, reflecting all his attacks into reality.

So when he thrust his spear, another force of the same power manifested and struck his target. 'Damn, I'm tired. I can't keep this up for long,' Eztein thought, exhaling heavily.

He wasted no time and charged toward the nearest expert.

Swoosh!!

It was an old man wielding a staff. The old man was shocked as Eztein appeared before him.

The other experts quickly moved to attack Eztein.

The elf narrowed her eyes as she saw the moves her comrades used. She shouted, "No, don't use it! It won't work! Use your own power!"

But it was already too late.

The old man attempted to manipulate the laws and concepts of the universe. Three experts followed his lead, trying to erase Eztein's concept of power by bending the laws.

In this lower dimension, they wielded god-like control, able to reshape its very concepts as if

it were their own. However, Eztein, having broken three shackles, was beyond their manipulation. The laws of a lower dimension could barely affect him at his current level.

With the three elements concentrated at the tip of his spear, Eztein thrust it forward with all

his might.

[Dividing Heaven's Wave]!

A massive wave of energy swept across everything in sight, obliterating numerous planets in

its path.

The elf expert gritted her teeth as she was forced back by the overwhelming energy.

Laws and concepts were shattered.

Swoosh!

All that remained was utter destruction.

Eztein lowered his spear and surveyed the devastation he had wrought.

"I only took out three of them..." he muttered to himself.

Despite his exhaustion, eliminating three of the enemies was a significant achievement.

He was fatigued; the effects of [Element Drive] were fading, leaving only the power of

dreams.

"Their condition isn't good either." Eztein forced a smile, glancing at his enemies.

At that moment, Franklin finally arrived, appearing above Eztein.

Eztein asked, "How is it?"

Franklin took in Eztein's appearance before replying, "You look quite tired."

"Of course! Do you realize how strong these guys are?" Eztein shot back.

"Is that so? Then watch me take out a few," Franklin said with a smile.

"Are you blind? They're exhausted too, while you still have plenty of energy left. It's only natural you can take them out now! If they were at their peak, you wouldn't be able to do a

thing!" Eztein said loudly.

Franklin shrugged and tossed a black spear toward Eztein. "Here, take this. It's a dark-grade

artifact. You should be able to use it well since you're a spear user."

"Oh, you found the treasure," Eztein said, raising his eyebrows.

Swoosh!!

Before Franklin could reply, a massive flame sphere was hurled at them. Franklin stepped

forward and pulled out a short shield.

[Defense Lock]!

A huge, transparent shield materialized, blocking the flaming sphere.

Boom!!

"I've found it. It's a bunch of red-grade artifacts and one dark grade, which you're holding. I also destroyed an ominous magic circle carved into the ground. I don't know what it was for, but I had a bad feeling about it, so I took it out," Franklin said.

The magic circle had given him a chill the moment he glanced at it. It felt like something terrible would happen if he stared at it any longer, so he decided to destroy it. It wasn't merely carved into the ground but embedded in the fabric of reality itself.

Strings of flesh covered Franklin's body as he activated his [Dream Power I].

"It's my time! Come and let us tear through it!" Franklin roared.

...

Dragon Council...

Souta arrived in a dimly lit room with a huge round table at the center. He saw a woman

sitting at one of the seats around the table.

He found his seat and sat down. He turned to the woman and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you left the affairs of the Flaem Clan to Hono."

The woman was none other than Erkigal Flaem, the former Clan Leader of the Flaem Clan. One

of the five Master Clans of the Selnes Country.

The Flaem Clan relocated to the Hall Plains after the tragic event in the Selnes Country.

"I'm here for a different matter. Hono is the Clan Leader, so she's the one managing the clan. I've done what I could for the clan in the past," Erkigal replied.

"I see... I wanted to ask if you remember what happened to you in the Selnes Country. I've heard that you're with my subordinates," Souta said.

"Oh, those three... I'm with them, but I don't remember anything after we entered some sort of dimension. The only thing I know is that we've stopped the formations of different dimensions," Erkigal answered.

"So you don't remember either. Franklin, Eztein, and Vashno are the same. Their memories of

what happened seem to vanish into thin air. If a person at your level is still affected by it, it seems that a higher being is involved," Souta contemplated.

"Perhaps... It could be our God since everyone isn't bound in the country anymore," Erkigal suggested uncertainly.

While the two were chatting, the door opened and the Fourth Head entered the room.
