The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak



After a while, the pain disappeared, leaving Souta breathing heavily. The Energy Field Fruit didn't increase his strength not speed. It only enhanced his energy output, especially his energy capacity tremendously.

The capacity of his monster orb reached a new height and it even enhanced his [Nebula Heart] a little bit. His energy recovery too has been boosted to a certain degree and the same could be said for his stamina.

There was no increase in terms of strength, defense, and speed since the effect of the fruit was focused on energy and stamina.

"It's quite good..."

Souta felt the changes in his body.

"The effect hasn't disappeared yet so my energy and stamina will continue to rise for a few days."

After all, the Energy Field Fruit was a legendary grade so he wasn't disappointed with the result that he received.

"Since my energy output has increased, I can throw a much stronger energy-based attack than before."

Souta raised a finger and a small sphere of energy gathered on the tip of his finger. He closed his palm and the energy sphere disappeared.

He glanced at the system and was satisfied with the result.

Energy(Best Feram): 14,650

Nebula Heart: 5,900

Stamina: 3,199

He guessed that he probably had a total amount of two ordinary peak fourth stage monsters' energy. It was probably higher than Gerxuzs' energy capacity.

"Hu~"

Souta stood up and stretched his body.

He exited the room and found that Eilish had also finished what she have to do. He checked her with his [Galaxy Eyes] and found that her aura was slightly stronger than before.

"It seems that the pills are effective," Souta said.

"Yeah, but it will take for me before I broke the third shackle," Eilish replied.

"You need to experience some battle first to stimulate your growth. We'll do some missions first." Souta said to her.

"What mission?" Eilish asked.

"I don't know. We'll just check the catalog first." Souta shrugged his shoulder.

Honestly, he had an idea about what mission he could take. With his rank as Grain Leader, he could probably take it.

Souta checked the missions available for him. He knew that he just became the Grain Leader and he haven't even visited his Sixth Grain War. He would do it later since he had to do this before the event in Solnes Theatre.

He wouldn't be able to have spare time later since the legion was dispatching warriors to several battlefields. Souta wasn't dispatched immediately on account of his deeds in the Hall Plains. The higher-ups were letting him do what he wanted for now.

Souta took a paper and passed it to the receptionist.

"A mission to sub-world?" Eilish asked.

"Yeah, I think it's a good one for us." Souta nodded.

Eilish looked at the details of the mission.

"It's a sub-world hidden in a dimension. It's called Plunyx. Our mission is to gather the resources that are offered to our goddess." She glanced at Souta and asked, "Isn't this quite easy? We just need to gather the resources."

"Yeah, the people there worshipped the god of our legion. We'll bring it back to the headquarters but you can't let down your guard. There are strong people that could defeat you." Souta said to her with a serious look. "Also, our mission isn't just to gather the resources. It is to write down the current state of that sub-world."

There were many sub-world under Athena's name. Those sub-worlds provided resources to the legion. Although they couldn't get the highest grade that could only be found in Imperium, the legion could still harvest mid-grade ingredients.

Once every ten years, the legion would send people to harvest those resources.

Now that Souta thinks about it, he had territory under his name too out there in outer space. He guessed that he would send a few people there to get some benefits. Well, those planets under his name had the lowest mana density in the vast expanse of Imperium's space.

It was impossible for him to gather a legendary grade mana fruit, unless, it was a high-world.

"I know... I've been to different planets and dimensions, so I know how to act." Eilish nodded.

"Good. It's quite good that this mission is still available. The other Grain Leaders are busy so no one took this mission." Souta smiled.

Souta and Eilish went to the basement of the legion. The entrance was guarded by warriors at the level of the Shackled Realm, and upon arriving at the basement, the two saw a huge inactive portal.

The height of the portal was twenty meters tall. There were two warriors standing beside it.

"We're here to complete this mission," Souta said as he passed a piece of paper to one of the guards.

The guard took the paper and read the contents of it.

"So you're the new Grain Leader of the Sixth Grain War... I will say this to you, to open this portal, we needed to use a bunch of energy cores. You know how hard it is nowadays to open a portal considering the increase in mana density a few months ago. So you have to make sure to bring all those resources in just three days. You can't bring less since opening the portal alone took a bunch of our energy cores." The guard slowly explained to Souta and Eilish.

"Three days..." Souta narrowed his eyes as he rubbed his chin.

"I don't know if we could complete it in three days," Eilish muttered.

"Well, I have another way." The guard said.

Souta raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

The guard pointed above with his finger. Then, he slowly explained, "Above, you can go into outer space. We'll open the portal there and you'll be able to stay there until you completed your mission. After all, it's easier to open a portal up there."

"I see... There's a way like that. I forgot that we have a station out there." Souta nodded.

"So would you like to take it? Or stick to the normal way where you could only stay there for three days." The guard asked.

"I'll take it. I think that I probably need a week to complete my mission. Three days is too short for me." Souta replied.

"Okay. Then, follow me." The guard said.

Souta and Eilish followed the guard. They went out of the city and flew straight to the outer space.

Soon, they arrived at a piece of land just right above the Champion's Den. The size of this land was two square kilometers. There were building around it and people were stationed in this place. Most of them were A-rank and above who could withstand the vacuum of space.

"So there is a place like this just outside the planet," Eilish was a little bit amazed.

"This land is called Station Brick. It was under the management of Lord Zeus' legion. Usually, it is hidden in the space here so we won't normally see it but the current situation right now didn't let even the warriors here to hide." The guard explained as the three of them landed on a huge platform.

"They are being dispatched to different battlefields too. I was lucky that I'm on guard duty so I'm not on the battlefield." The guard said with a smile.

"How do you hide this huge land in a space?" Eilish asked.

"Well, it's simple. By ripping the space apart and creating a wider space inside it. Only people with space elemental mastery could do it." The guard answered.

"Why did they have to bring this land outside?" Eilish asked.

"Lord Zeus asked some of the gods to connect this land to the Imperium's atmosphere a few months ago. The barrier here prevented any leaking of energy just like Imperium's atmosphere so when the gods connect this land to Imperium, it gained mana density." The guard said.

"I see... Even a normal Liquefying Realm would probably be able to destroy this if it didn't have mana density."

"Liquefying Realm is too much. All the materials that created this place came from Imperium plus the experts engraved some runes around it so it wouldn't break easily." The guard explained.

Souta looked around while listening to their conversation. It was his first time here, after all.

He looked at various buildings around them and there was some sort of instruments all over the place.

The three arrived inside a huge room. In this room, there was a portal that Souta and Eilish would use to arrive in the sub-world.

The guard asked the warriors from this place to borrow some energy cores that they would use to activate the portal.

Ohm!!

The portal emitted a dim blueish light with a purple hue around it.

"We'll go now," Souta said to the guard.

"Okay, if you encounter some problems you can ask some of the retired warriors in that sub-world." The guard said.

Some of the retired warriors of Olympus didn't choose to stay in the chaotic Imperium, instead, they chose to live a peaceful life in the sub-world.

"I understand." Souta nodded as he waved his hand. "We'll return in just a week."
