The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak-Chapter 783: Death King

Souta knew that Death King was just slightly weaker than the Guardian of the Key in the Multiple Elements Realm. His aura was a little bit weaker but his combat skill was higher than a programmed golem. If the two fought, Death King would probably emerge victorious after a long and hard battle.

This guy could give Souta some trouble in his base form just like how the Guardian forced him to use [Blood Armor]. Souta could easily kill this guy with his release form though.

As expected of the Boss of the Murder Society, one of the strongest organizations in the Hall Plains. It's no wonder that he could send several One Shackled Realm experts to attack the Hundred Face Alliance.

But that's before. After training inside the Multiple Elements Realm, Souta had grown stronger. He even leveled up when "Imperium Cry" happened a few days ago. He received a boost making his body grow stronger. Right now, Souta was sure that he could slay the Guardian without using his [Blood Armor].

So, Souta wasn't afraid of this guy called Death King and his entire organization. He had seen through their strength and he confirmed that they weren't a threat to him.

Souta didn't even try to hide his energy flow using his artifacts so Death King could somehow sense the overwhelming energy that resides in his body.

"What do you want to know?" Death King asked in a strong tone.

"Don't be so tense. I'm not gonna do anything to you." Souta smiled as he waved his hand nonchalantly.

"If a powerful monster suddenly appeared in your base without anyone noticing it, I believe this is the right reaction. No one will be able to relax in this situation." Death King said as he looked at Souta warily.

"Well, it's true. You have a point." Souta leaned his back on the chair as he crossed his legs. "But I'm not here for that. I heard you talking about this unknown organization hiding in the Hall Plains. I just want to hear everything you know about them. I've met some of them before but they suicide to avoid information leaks."

"What's your relationship with them?" The frown on the Death King's face grew deeper when he heard about this unknown organization. He should be the king of the underground world of Hall Plains yet some unknown group had appeared out of nowhere.

"I just met one of them in the White Line City after I exterminated the branch of Wingless Crow there. That person has a powerful charm ability. I've been trying to find this unknown and mysterious group since then. But I haven't found anything yet." Souta explained.

"So you didn't belong to them?" Death King said.

"What did I say? I'm Seventh Head of the Dragon Council. Those guys are my enemies since they previously plotted against the Mine Valley. I just want to know more about them so that I could prepare." Souta opened both of his arms.

"Fine... I don't know everything about them. I don't even know the name of their organization. They just appear here." Death King walked toward the table and picked up a bunch of paper. He threw the papers in Souta's direction. "That's everything that I know about them."

"Hmm..." Souta narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the papers.

According to this, the unknown group was huge as they had people all over the Hall Plains. They hid in the dark and most of the war was caused by them. They were the one who was instigating all those organizations to fight each other.

They were probably the one that unify the tribes in Earthen Woods and also the one that destroyed the Great Muzkin Kingdom in Dense River. Dense River was on the other side of the Hall Plains. If Mine Valley was in the south, then Dense River was in the north.

'If this is true then this is no ordinary organization...' Souta muttered inwardly.

"If you want to know more about them then confront them directly. You said that you killed the one from the ancient ruins, right? They destroyed the Great Chan Hall recently and it seems that they are desperate to know about what happened in ancient ruins." Death King paused for a moment before he continued, "So they are probably going to attack the Heiro Kingdom. Their target is Princess Yaniesvyl, the other survivor in the ancient ruins."

"That's what I'm thinking too." Souta nodded at Death King's words. "Before confronting them, I just want to know more about them. How many people do they have? How strong are they? It's better to investigate first than finding all this stuff too late."

"I have too little information about them. You will not find anything that you want here." Death King said.

"Indeed." Souta placed the papers on the table before he started at the ceiling. "But you've made a reasonable hypothesis of their powers and you've even marked down some of their people. It's enough for me."

Then, he stood up and patted his clothes.

"I'm going out now. Thanks for giving me that information. It will be useful for me."

Souta left after saying those words.

As soon as Souta left, Death King breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the chair and relaxed his muscles.

"That was dangerous. That monster is giving me an ominous vibe. He's probably someone close to the fifth stage. Also..."

Death King narrowed his eyes as he turned his head. Souta wasn't the only one he felt. He also felt the aura of the ruler of this area, the Venomous King Boa, outside of the headquarters. It would be dangerous if a battle broke out. He would be forced to relocate the base.

"That monster is the most dangerous one I encountered except for those fifth stage monsters..."

...

Outside the base, Souta rode the giant boa once again. Souta sat down on the head of the boa, enjoying the scenery of the area around him. The Venomous King Boa escorted him outside the Darkstone Ranges.

After a few hours, they arrived at the corner of the Darkstone Ranges. Souta waved his hand and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

The giant boa shook its head and Souta smiled in understanding. He knew that [Serpent Dominance] gave them a favorable impression of him but that doesn't mean that they would follow him. They would only become friendly to each other. Serpents could still reject him but in a battle against serpent-type, Souta had a great advantage because of this ability. Kessa only followed him because she was sealed and didn't have any place to settle in. The only choice was to follow Souta who gave her a sort of intimate feeling.

"Goodbye, I will visit you if I have a chance."

Souta waved his hand before his shoot through the sky. He flew straight toward the direction of the Spring Land, Heiro Kingdom. He didn't know if that organization had already attacked the kingdom or not. He just hoped that they weren't done so he could capture them.

The Murder Society only had a record of two experts from an unknown organization. These two experts were different from the ones that he encountered. They had normal members but these two definitely belonged to the upper echelons, according to what Murder Society gathered.

The first one was a woman with a full plate red armor. She had short black hair and a huge scar across her cheeks. Her name was unknown but her strength was high. She was an expert at Three Shackles Realm. According to the witnesses, she had wood and light elements.

The second was a man in his late thirties. He was bald but he had a thick black mustache and beard. He was wearing a dark blue robe and a black scepter with a red gem in his right hand. His name was unknown too. He was also at Three Shackles Realm and he had the ability to create explosions in thin air.

There were others on the same level as these two but there wasn't enough information. There's no data and that's why the Murder Society was also wary about them. Even Souta felt that this organization wasn't simple.

After flying for a day, Souta arrived in the Spring Land. He quickly received a shocking information. The Triple Tribe Alliance, which was said to rival the Heiro Kingdom, had fallen.

This surprised Souta a little bit. He asked some people about this matter. The Triple Tribe Alliance's Tribe Leaders died. The three tribe leaders were killed and a lot of members were slaughtered. The casualties reached one hundred thousand people. Most of them were experts at C-rank and B-rank.

The witnesses only saw several dozen of meteors falling at high speed. The meteors killed almost every expert of the Triple Tribe Alliance. As for the battle that comes after it, the other people couldn't see it because of the shockwaves and the mana pressure.

"Damn, with this much power... I'm sure that they are the unknown organization but, why would they attack the Triple Tribe Alliance?" Souta muttered to himself.
