[201-400] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 282 - Journey of Despair: Hope

"Argh!! My arm!" The mage groaned in pain on the ground. His blood kept flowing out of his wounds.

Ramie and the healer were about to stand up and help him when they saw countless black spikes burst out of the ground.

The two of them carried two people in each other's hands before they jumped away. They closed their eyes as the spikes spread out and pierced the body of some of their comrades.

This was the only thing they could do. They only have two hands so they couldn't help everyone.

"Argh!!"

The mage groaned as some of the spikes hit his body but then he realized that it couldn't pierce deeply.

This was only a level 1 tier 1 spell [Shadow Spike] so it could hardly damage a powerful B-rank.

"I need to do this..."

Flames appeared in the mage's hand and he grabbed his arm to stop the blood flow by burning it. He could attached his hand later as long as one day hasn't passed.

ARGGGHHHH!!

He gritted his teeth as he burned his wounds. Then, he saw a black ball floating in front of him.

"W-What's this...?"

Swoosh!

Souta appeared in front of the mage while using [Shadow Cloak]. He grabbed the neck of the mage before he pulled out his tongue.

"You don't need this."

After saying those words, Souta threw the tongue on the ground and stomped on it.

The mage looked at Souta with fear and hatred. He didn't think that this man would cut his tongue. He then saw Souta moved his left hand and placed it on his left eye.

"You also don't need this one," Souta said in a cold voice as he plucked the left eye of the mage.

The mage realized one thing. And that's Souta wouldn't kill him. He will torture him like this. He wanted to beg but there were no words that were coming out of his mouth.

Slowly his hatred disappeared and despair replaced it. It was slowly seeking into the depths of his body.

Without him realizing it, tears flow out of his eye. He was crying.

The man in front of him showed his brutal side to their party and everyone will experience it.

Souta's hand moved towards his right eye. At this point, his mind was already blank. He loses himself to despair.

Putchi!

Souta threw the mage on the ground after gouging both of his eyes. He then placed his eyes closed to him.

"Infinite shadows dancing in the darkness." He muttered before he disappeared and black tentacles once again rose from the ground.

...

Hays!

Lumilia sighed as she turned in the direction where Souta was fighting with a concerned look.

She didn't know what will happen but she could only place her trust in him.

Everything was moving smoothly according to their plan. They already destroyed sixty percent of their enemy's bases. It was only a matter of time before the Adventurers Guild stepped forward and stopped this war.

"Just like what Souta said, this battle will show everyone in the kingdom the power of our Dark Oculus Legion," Lumilia muttered while looking at the map in front of her.
