The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1045: Erkigal



Boom!!

Eilish bombarded the army of undead with powerful Tier 3 spells. Thousands of undead were destroyed in just a few seconds. Her spells were incredibly potent.

In Astros, she was the most knowledgeable person when it came to spells. Even Souta had sought guidance from her. After all, Souta and the others followed diverse paths, while she focused solely on spellcasting.

Souta and Alice had been mage students in the past, but their magic skills were primarily used to complement their fighting styles.

Bang!!

Eilish narrowed her eyes, sensing powerful undead rapidly approaching. These undead emitted the aura of a Third Shackle Realm.

Eilish's eyes focused on the enemies as she activated more spells. Her long blue hair fluttered across the winds as her energy level surge once again.

She pointed her staff as the approaching undead and conjured a spell.

[Air Mine]!!

The undead ignored her spell as they rushed at her madly but before they could even reach her, their rotting bodies seemed to bump something in the air.

In the next moment, several explosions resounded across the field. The bodies of the undead were torn apart as their flesh and bones scattered on the ground.

Eilish took this chance to flew higher. In the attack just now she destroyed several Third Shackle undead but this was only the first wave.

Hundreds of flying undead flew, their murderous intent was locked at her.

Eilish gritted her teeth. She could feel intense pain all over her body, seemingly disrupting her focus. At this rate, she would turned similar to the people of Nine Heads that started killing each other.

She forcefully held the staff in front of her and powerful water elements erupted from her body.

[Element Drive: Water Force]!

Then, she followed it by conjuring her spells.

[Ocean Waves]!

[Water Forming World]!

The land was filled with water. The crushing waves swept across the army of undead, destroying those who were below Second Shackle Realm.

Her elemental power had already reached the limit of the Force Stage. Now that she had broken through the great shackle, her element would soon reach the Integration Stage. She was not far from it.

Eilish wasn't done yet.

[Thousand Water Shock]! [Spiral Dominant Sphere]!

[Dominating the Wind]!

A powerful storm seemed to appear out of nowhere in this land. The undead were destroyed one by one, but the Third Shackle undead managed to approach her. Their combined energy somehow allowed them to endure the might of her spell.

Seeing this, Eilish took a step back, creating several layers of barriers around her. Her expression was gloomy as she knew this would happen soon.

The enemies had hundreds of Third Shackle undead, so an expert like her, who had just broken through to the Fourth Shackle, would be at a disadvantage. They were using their numbers to overwhelm her.

The Third Shackle undead chased after her. Eilish flew around while casting spells to hold them back. She would be in danger if these undead managed to force her into close combat.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions reverberated as wind and water swept across the field, trying to obstruct the powerful undead.

"I have to go back now," Eilish muttered to herself. She couldn't endure the strange energy that was trying to invade her mind.

Although she hadn't used her dream power yet, it was better to retreat for now than to push herself.

She couldn't help but glance at the distance. Her eyes were filled with concern. She didn't know what she would do if something happened to Souta.

Just as she was about to cast another spell to give her an opportunity to leave, a strong wave of energy erupted. The temperature sharply rose in an instant, evaporating all the water in the area. Then, a pillar of flame surged from the abandoned town below.

"This?!" Eilish widened her eyes in shock.

This pillar of flame instantly turned all the undead in the vicinity to ashes. The Third Shackle undead weren't even spared.

Swoosh!!

Eilish felt pressure from the aura.

Soon, the flames disappeared, revealing the appearance of a woman.

This woman was none other than Erkigal, who had chosen to stay here.

Erkigal looked at her palm with a smile on her face. She then clenched her fist, sensing the intense power coursing through her body.

"After a long time... I finally achieved it." Her soft voice echoed.

Eilish widened her eyes. The pressure around Erkigal was similar to that of the expert who had appeared outside of Selnes Country.

A Seventh Shackle Realm.

An expert who had broken through the second great shackle.

A Seventh Shackle Realm meant that Erkigal had already entered the Rank of Hero, a rank

beyond SSS.

Erkig I turned to Eilish and said, "Good job, now leave everything to me."

As soon as she said that, her figure flashed toward the horizon where the looming darkness was coming from.

Boom!!

All the undead she encountered were burned to ashes. As a Hero-rank, her strength was even greater than someone who had just advanced. It was all thanks to the house that contained the power of the Great Vermilion Bird.

This was also why she chose this place for her breakthrough. She already had information that such power could be found here. After all, she couldn't go to the real Vermilion Bird just to ask

for help.

As for why no one detected her breakthrough, it was all because of the formation inside that house. That house could even conceal the aura of a Great Vermilion Bird, so concealing a breakthrough to the Seventh Shackle was normal.

In the depths of the land...

Souta was suppressing the undead Fhe in the dreamscape. Fhe roared madly, but darkness and

light rushed at him from every direction, not giving him a chance to do anything.

With a flick of his finger, Fhe was blown hundreds of kilometers away in an instant.

Bang!!

Souta floated in the air, watching the powerful undead. He then glanced at his hand and

noticed that he was shaking.

"I'm still affected by it..."

Even though this was his dreamscape, the strange power was still affecting him. The pain wasn't as strong as before, so it was bearable.

Swoosh!!

Fhe launched himself once again but was slapped away by Souta in an instant. His body flew through the air before crashing into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Souta turned his attention back to Fhe and narrowed his eyes. "This guy could recover from

soul damage... Is this really an undead?"

'No, you can't consider it anymore. It has become something beyond,' Saya said to him.

"I see..." Souta nodded as he flew forward with a calm look on his face.

Seeing him, Fhe roared madly. Unfortunately, before he could do anything, hundreds of webs with blood coiling around them bound his limbs. The blood turned solid like ice, preventing

Fhe from moving further.

Roar!! Souta ignored the fierce roar as he stood in front of the undead.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked back.

"This...?"

He could feel an intense energy beyond the dreamscape. And this energy was familiar to him.

There's no doubt.

It's Erkigal, the former Clan Leader of the Flaem Clan.

"Since she's here, I don't need to do much. I have to preserve my energy," Souta muttered.

At this moment, Erkigal arrived at the battlefield, turning tens of thousands of undead into ashes in the blink of an eye.

A Seventh Shackle expert was a true powerhouse. No one could deny this level of power. Erkigal landed on the floor. Her figure was covered in intense flames.

The rest of the Nine Heads stared at her in shock. They couldn't believe that Erkigal had become a top powerhouse.

Erkigal raised her hands, and a sea of flames erupted, engulfing the incoming waves ofn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

undead.

"It's good..." she said as a faint smile appeared on her face.

This was the realm that most of the experts in Selnes Country wanted to achieve. The All Formation Barrier wasn't just preventing enemies from entering but was also suppressing them. That's why many experts from the Master Clans wanted to escape, and she was one of

them. She had tried to break free from the past but ultimately failed.

Swoosh!!

Souta appeared at the side, looking at her. He said, "You're here, so you have to work for it."

"Don't worry, I'll make up for the time I was gone," Erkigal replied before turning her

attention back to the front.

Souta walked to the back, looking at his hand. He was still shaking, due to the effect of the

strange energy.

'Saya, what more can you tell me about this?' he asked.

'Just prepare yourself. I think the next Great War isn't far off. You'll have to fight something

even stronger. Not just you-prepare everyone who's beside you,' Saya said.

"I know..." he muttered in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes.

He was extremely powerful at his current level. He was also close to reaching his next

evolution. He needed to prepare himself.

When he first arrived here in God's Continent, Souta could barely fight someone at the First

Shackle. Yet now, he was strong enough to destroy anyone below the Seventh Shackle. He had experienced a lot, and it had helped him develop his strength. "Seventh Shackle... I'll try to reach that level in my normal form if possible."
