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

Chapter 909 Battle At The Selnes Country: [Colosseum Undead Party]

Zone 3...

Thousands of civilians had gathered at the country's edge. They stood near the walls, waiting for the soldiers to destroy the device and restore the barrier to normal. Most of them were injured and covered in blood, their expressions filled with despair. Some wept in the corners, mourning the loss of their loved ones.

The impact of this war exceeded their worst fears. No one had predicted that the barrier left by their god would become a cage, imprisoning them in times of crisis.

Children, the elderly, and adults teetered on the brink of emotional collapse, especially those who couldn't control their feelings. Fear gripped them as they witnessed people dying before their eyes.

The atmosphere in the evacuation area was somber, knowing that many were still perishing out there at this very moment.

Soldiers patrolled the evacuation site, their faces grave as they witnessed the plight of their fellow countrymen. The duty of soldiers below A-rank was to rescue civilians and help them relocate to safer areas.

These were B-rank soldiers. Although possessing strength, they were not allowed to participate in this type of battle. Their sole role was to rescue civilians. If they encountered an A-rank expert, this group of B-rank soldiers would collaborate to confront the threat.

These soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives for their country's people.

Meanwhile, the overall battle situation favored the alliance army. Monsters emerging from the rivers were tearing through the ranks of the Gluttony Army's experts. Thousands of people clashed simultaneously all across the country, causing the ground to continuously tremble.

They made slow but steady progress, pushing the enemy line toward the device containing the Cancelling Rune. Their primary objective was to destroy that device and ensure the safe evacuation of the citizens from outside the country.

Zone 6...

Two figures clashed in the skies above, emitting numerous flashes of light that illuminated a three-kilometer radius.

The golden and crimson figures collided hundreds of times in midair.

Boom!

Souta and Boulder Jack separated, creating some distance between them. They both turned their heads and spotted a massive energy palm far away on the other side of the country.

"This energy signature... Li Guan and Shen Yao. Li Guan has finally unleashed his released form," Souta muttered, his brow furrowing deeply.

Souta sensed something was amiss in this situation. Glancing at the system, he noted that he still had thirty minutes to complete the quest.

'I need to confirm the whereabouts of the other experts... I have a bad feeling about this. While Li Guan going all out is good, I suspect the enemy's plan isn't that simple.'

Souta wanted to dispatch his doppelganger, but he couldn't, as his opponent had systematically destroyed all the doppelgangers he sent, rendering even shadow balls ineffective. Boulder Jack didn't afford him an opportunity to figure out what was transpiring in the other region.

"Keep your focus on me!" Boulder Jack's voice echoed.

Souta sensed the surge of energy. He reacted swiftly by leaping away and manipulating gravity to propel himself. Pointing his finger at Boulder Jack, he cast [Black Hole].

Ohm!

A black hole materialized in front of Boulder Jack. He clenched his fist, and a brilliant golden light erupted from within, creating a strange ripple in the air.
