Souta opened his eyes widely when he saw the group of monsters behind him. He was horrified at the scene where everyone was above the second evolution stage.

He subconsciously gulped while looking at the various monsters in front of him. But the two monsters in front made him feel hopeless upon seeing it.

The two monsters were the goblin executioner and the troll overlord. Both of them were fifth evolution monster. In the game, a fifth evolution monster was level 80+. It was an extremely powerful enemy and ally.

A nightmare in the eyes of humans and demis. They could easily raze a city on their own.

Back in the game when Souta was still Blood, he could fight and defeat a fifth evolution monster in a one on one fight without any problem. He could finish the fight in just a few minutes. Of course, that's if his opponent was a new evolved monster. If it was a veteran fifth evolution monster at level 90+ then Souta would have a problem dealing with it. He wouldn't be able to escape unscathed fighting that kind of opponent. And that's if Souta didn't use all of his power.

All of Souta's equipment was universal grade, the highest grade of equipment in the whole universe. Some people also called it indestructible artifacts. Every universal grade item, equipment, or weapon in the world came from the primordial era, the era before the war twenty thousand years ago. Since then, there's no record that universal grade artifacts being broken or shattered. In fact, even if low-level creatures fought the universal artifacts would suffer damage but it would miraculously recover after one day.

No one knew the reason why. They only said that it must be some lost secret method of the ancient powerhouse back in that era. They even said that universal item grade wasn't the highest but until now they didn't find any artifacts that were higher than universal grade artifacts.

Speaking of Souta's universal artifacts, all of it has equipment skill and if Souta simultaneously used it then he would be able to kill a fifth evolution monster in an instant.

The strength of the [Soul Blood Earring], the power of souls.

The power of the [Flesh Eating Scythe], the gluttony.

Every universal artifact possessed great power. That's why Souta was bent on collecting his equipment set in the game. He would gain unrivaled power once he got ahold of his equipment set. No, one below gods would be able to fight him at that moment even though he had a low level.

Back at the moment, sweat formed on his forehead as he saw the two fifth evolution monster. The goblin executioner and the troll overlord.

'Don't tell me... They are the cause of that earthquake.' Souta said inwardly. He didn't dare to utter a single sound or move an inch from his position. He knew very well that he was in a very dangerous situation.

The two fifth evolution monsters have some wounds in their bodies. Their blood was dripping on the ground from their wounds. With this, Souta was sure that they were the ones who caused that earthquake.

They were injured. Yes, they were injured, and despite knowing that Souta still didn't dare to lower his guard. That f.u.c.kers, fifth evolution monster, was extremely powerful to the point that it could kill Souta in just a single slap. No, he would die before the slap landed on his body. This level of monster could effortlessly kill a six-circle officer so didn't have a chance to defeat it.

Even if these two monsters were on death's door, Souta still wouldn't be able to do anything to them. The fifth evolution monster was entirely different from the third evolution monster where he could somehow wound them.

"Mmnnn..." Yuko whimpered beside Souta while looking at the monster. She was afraid of the aura of these creatures and Souta could understand it.

Souta patted her head and said, "Don't worry. We won't die in this place."

Behind the goblin executioner and the troll warlord was a group of monsters above second evolution. Souta wouldn't be able to defeat the weakest monster in this group.

The goblin executioner stepped forward and looked down at Souta. It's huge body completely blocked Souta's vision. Its seven meters body stood in front of Souta like a strong pillar.

This goblin couldn't be called tall anymore, he's a giant. Seven meters for a goblin executioner. Yuko couldn't even reach his chest if she stood up.

This goblin became huge because of his past evolution. It was related to body strengthening and maybe he mutated like him in some way. A normal goblin executioner wasn't a large as this one. A normal executioner was just a two-meter tall goblin. This one was just exceptional.

Back in the game, this goblin executioner was a famous goblin that rampages throughout the battlefield when the demons reached this place.

The shadow of the goblin executioner covered Souta's entire body.

Thud!

The troll overlord stepped forward and said something to the goblin executioner.

The goblin executioner replied by saying, "I don't know, It is lord's order."

When Souta heard it, he understood that the goblin executioner didn't care about him and Yuko. It seems that the monster above him was ordering him to bring Souta and Yuko.

Souta didn't need to think twice about it. He quickly understood that he somehow piqued a monster lord's attention. It means that he was the cause of this incident. He didn't need to blame anyone.

A butterfly effect... Something like that.

'The chances of getting out of this place is close to none.' Souta thought while looking at the goblin executioner.

The troll overlord glanced at Souta before he said, "I'm going now. Don't you dare cause any more problem in my territory?"

When he found that the goblin executioner came here because of a lord's order, he stopped preventing the goblin from doing something on his territory. Well, all the monsters in this world respected and followed the monster lords. Even if the troll had another lord, he still wouldn't stop the goblin as it was under a lord's direct order.

That's how powerful and respected a monster lord in the circle of monsters.

The troll overlord left without saying any nonsense. Souta and Yuko could only watch him leave.

The goblin executioner pointed his finger at Souta and said, "You, come with me." He then turned around without waiting for Souta's reply.

Souta sighed in relief when he heard those words. He learned the basic goblin language when he evolved into High End Goblin back then so he understood the goblin executioner's words who spoke such language.

The third and fourth evolution monsters around were all glancing at him as if he was a rare animal. They were wondering how he caught their lord's attention. A weakling like this one piqued their lord's attention.

Souta and Yuko just walked forward without minding those looks. The two of them followed the goblin executioner. Just one wrong move and Souta knew that they were going to die.

Just one third evolution monster was enough to destroy him and Yuko in his current condition. And right now, dozen of monsters encircle him. Souta was sweating heavily as he was too nervous.

...

The group walked for almost thirty minutes deep in the forest. Souta couldn't follow the time as he was too busy looking at the powerful monsters around him. He couldn't rest easy while being surrounded by these monsters.

He was paranoid... He was in his weakest condition and this happened of all time.

The goblin executioner stood in front of a thirty-meter tall tree. He released some of his aura.

Ohm!

Souta and Yuko felt overwhelming pressure in the atmosphere just by looking at the aura of the goblin executioner. They were not the target but they could still felt the heavy weight that was pressing their shoulders.

A fifth evolution monster was really on a different league.

After a few moments, the roots of the tree moved. It opened a path leading underground. The path was so wide that it could fit the seven-meter tall goblin executioner.

This path led to the place where a monster lord resides.

Souta subconsciously gulped while looking at this. From his memory, he recalled that there were ten monster lords in this forest. Each one of them secretly managed a part of the forest. He just couldn't recall who's monster lord manages the goblin executioner.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...!_51312389924119255 for visiting.

"Let's go!" The goblin executioner glanced at Souta and said. He then went down with heavy steps.

Souta and Yuko followed him. The underground place was so deep and it took them twenty minutes of walking before they arrived in a very wide place.

"Welcome to the monster world...!"

Souta squinted his eyes as the light shone brightly. The whole place was like the one in the Undead Sanctuary. The crystals on the ceiling were shining brightly and it gives off 'the sun' vibe of this place.

This whole place was a another huge ecosystem that looks like another world. Different types of monsters were all over the place.
