Chapter 394 - Third Evolution: Blood Goblin

[Armored Scale Formation]

[Black Orc's Solid Body]

[Treant's Wood Absorption]

[Enhance Strength]

[Pump Up]

[Poisonous Bite]

[Thermal Eyes]

[Rapid Recovery]

[Thread Forming]

[Draw Blood]

Souta looked at each skill. After a few moments, he chooses five skills that he wanted.

[Draw Blood], [Thread Forming], [Black Orc's Solid Body], [Armored Scale Formation], and [Rapid Recovery] has been selected.

[Draw Blood] was a skill where his stats would increase every time he took damage. [Thread Forming] just like its name, he could create thread just like those spiders. Since he was a third evolution, the thread wasn't ordinary as it will be powered up by his best feram. [Black Orc's Solid Body] was great for increasing his strength and defense. The added stats were 125 strength, 70 vitality, and 30% physical and energy resistance. Then, the [Armored Scale Formation]. Using this skill he could create a scale to protect his body from any attacks. Lastly, the [Rapid Recovery] this skill wasn't all about his health. It increased the recovery of his mana, stamina, and energy by 100.

[Draw Blood]. Every time he loses 1% of his health his stats would increase by 5%. This trait was pretty much overpower. If he loses 50% of his health then his stats would increase by 250%.

[Thread Forming]. A trait of a spider-type monster. It was a skill that let him create a web and it was equivalent to him having a second weapon. Sometimes humans would hunt down third stage spider just to get their webs to create an purple grade or orange grade clothes.

[Black Orc's Solid Body]. Just like its name, this trait came from a black orc that boasted from its strong body.

[Armored Scale Formation]. This was a trait that lets him create armor in his body. It was equivalent to him having another health bar that has 1,000 hp. Once the scale was completely shattered, he wouldn't be able to use it for two days.

[Rapid Recovery]. Was one of the traits that he needed as his health, stamina, and energy recovery were too low for his current level.

These five abilities weren't that great but once he evolved to his fourth stage, these abilities would grow stronger too. It was enough for him but he wondered why he didn't get those powerful abilities that he knew.

Ohm!

Souta slowly opened his eyes as he successfully completed his evolution. The white light around his body dissipated into thin air. He then quickly looked at his stats to see the changes.

Name: Souta Ies.h.i.+

Race: Blood Goblin (3rd Evolution)

Level: 40

Health: 2,420 -> 3,520

Stamina: 995 -> 1,245

Energy (Best Feram): 710

Strength: 1,045 -> 1,540

Agility: 1,078 -> 1,408

Dexterity: 825 -> 1,155

Intelligence: 1,030 -> 1,200

Vitality: 800 -> 1,340

This was just his base stats. The stats of his equipment wasn't even included with it. All of his attributes surpa.s.sed 1,000 points. The great increase in his attributes was pretty obvious.

"So this is the third evolution stage...?"

Souta looked at the rest of his status with interest in his eyes.

Monster Orb: [Monster Orb Release], [Bestrou]

Equipment skill(s): [Harvester of the Soul], [Crimson Moon], [Cross Moon], [Possession]

Aside from his stats, the increase in his skill levels would greatly boost his fighting ability. Also, his spell would become stronger and much more powerful since a high energy was powering it.

He gained another ace. The [Monster Orb Release]. The cheat skill of every monster that raised their destructive power to another level. Their group took down a peak third evolution monster without a monster orb. If that monster still had a monster orb then they wouldn't be able to fight it. It will defeat them quickly.

[Monster Orb Release]: Releasing the true power of the monster. Condensing enormous best feram to power up every cells in your body.

Effect: +500 to all stats, +600% damage, elemental resistance, defense, and energy damage, +100 recovery to health, energy, and stamina

Note: Every second will consume 1 energy and stamina to maintain the form.

d.a.m.n! There's no doubt about it. This skill was a cheat and he couldn't dent it. This was the reason why people gathered together when they were going to fight a third evolution and above monster.

They trained their skills and wore high-grade equipment to fill up their lacking stats while the monster only has their monster orb. Then, what if a person who has the skill of humans and demi also has a monster orb appeared?

It's going to be a disaster. It felt like that person was defying the unwritten rules.

'Souta will now be unstoppable... Only S-rank and above could handle the current him...'

Saya said while watching Souta who just finished his evolution.

Souta smiled while looking at this skill. He wanted to try it but he doesn't have an opponent right now. The effect of +500 on all stats was enormous. Just imagine a dark grade sword like Saya could only add 200 points to his dexterity and agility yet this skill doubled what a dark grade sword could provide. Also, the +600% damage, elemental resistance, defense, and energy damage make it more powerful.

This was just the [Monster Orb Release] of a third evolution stage monster. The [Monster Orb Release] of a fourth evolution monster could increase all their stats by 800 points. While the fifth evolution could increase 1,300 points. He doesn't know about monster lord as no player managed to reach it. Also, according to the information that he had about monster lord.

Monster lord was already in their release state. It means that their ordinary form was using [Monster Orb Release] but they instead had another skill, the [Monster Lord Transformation]. It was another state of a monster lord that could fight several G.o.ds at the same time.

He didn't know if it was true but this information circulated in the forum for a long time.

Souta looked down further to his status.

Health recovery (246 per hour)

Energy recovery (181 per hour)

Stamina recovery (171 per hour)

If sleeping or resting the recovery rate would increase by five times.

This was great. Just by resting for a few hours, he could recover his health, energy, and stamina to its limit.

His overall abilities rose highly just by reaching the third stage and he was satisfied with it.

Souta was about to examine his body when an intense pain a.s.saulted his head.

"Argh!"

He fell on his knees as he grabbed his head. The pain was intense as information flooded his mind. It was a different feeling when he evolved and information about his race went to his mind. This one feels like someone was crus.h.i.+ng his brain from the inside.

'Souta! Souta!'

Saya tried to call him but he couldn't hear her anymore as the excruciating pain kept getting stronger.

'Souta... Souta...'

'You must not... forget it... your name and our family name...'

'I'm... who am I...'

'You'll forget about it soon...'

"You're not a part of the clan... So your body couldn't handle it...'

'It's failing...'

'No...'

'Souta... Hold on...'

'The chosen person of Kryvon... The patriarch of the Ies.h.i.+ Clan... Your grandfather... We have chosen you...'

'You! Who are you!?'

'Consciousness...? Yeah, we're gone...'

'I know it... The True G.o.d has perished... The progenitor of all things and creatures are gone...'

Different voices sounded in his head and images were flas.h.i.+ng before his eyes.

'It's opening... The Door...'

'What have you done to my grandson?'

'There's nothing special about him... Yet we simply find it hard...'

'That's outside my plan... He's going to die...'

'Fear not we've already prepared it... His soul couldn't handle it... so we've erased information about him leaving only the information about what you called "game"...'

'How are we going to find him...?!'

'Fear not. Just remember Blood... His legend in what you created... It will lead you to that path...'

'Everyone felt it... The incoming... Experiments to create another True G.o.d have been ongoing in Imperium... They are trying to prevent the Door from opening...'

'I know it. I couldn't see the future past that point so it's pointless...'

'The Four Authorities... It's going to awaken soon... It will help... The Aspect of the Sins... The Star Zodiacs... They are needed...'

'Because they are coming... She will arrive in our universe... Her existence is a threat... Just by existing she will bring down our universe...'

'Our universe will crumble down as it couldn't handle her power... She merely use her avatar to come last time but now... She will personally come with her true body...'

Lynn who was with Lumilia and Bryan suddenly looked in the sky. She suddenly remembered Souta and had a bad feeling about it.

"What's wrong, Lynn?" Lumilia asked.

Lynn shook her head and said, "I just remembered Souta. I want to see him soon."
