[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 446 - I'll Protect You in My Own Way

Sounds of slashing echoed in every direction. Souta's group was cleaning the floor on the 45th floor. The monster here wasn't that much different from the 40th floor. The only difference was their numbers.

Souta suddenly stopped moving and grabbed his chest. His heart was beating wildly as if it was about to burst out of his chest. He was losing control of himself and he could understand why.

He killed millions of people in the war against the empire. His bloodlust reached its peak and he could also hear the grievance of the souls that he killed. He could even see the pain in their face.

It's wasn't easy to remove his bloodlust. Even Alice and the rest noticed his bloodlust.

'Damn, it's getting hard to control it.' Souta cursed inwardly.

'That's why I said that you should rest for a while. Stop forcing yourself or else you would cause a monster tide in this world. Even Yuko, Yenxa, and Doranjan would be affected if you got consumed by your desire to kill.' Saya said to him.

'But I...' Souta wanted to say something but Saya stopped him.

'There are many factors that are causing you to become like this. Aside from killing people and accumulating bloodlust, my energy is also one of the factors. My powers. Remember that I'm a cursed sword and my past wielders lost themselves and became a mindless killing machine.' Saya continued to explain. 'My energy is fueling your monster instincts so I suggested that you should stop using me for a while. You're not physically exhausted by mentally exhausted it will become a weakness of yours and soon you will not be able to control it. That's why you should rest your mind for a while. Think nothing and enjoy a peaceful life.'

'Damn! That's so wasteful of time...' Souta replied to her with an angry expression.

'Oh, something came into my mind. Ufufu!' Saya chuckled.

'What is it?' Souta asked.

Then, he felt a huge force invaded his whole body. He was caught off guard and he saw Saya's figure in his head. It was so sudden that he didn't have a time to raise his guard.

'Fuck! Saya! What are you doing?!' He roared inside him and he tried to fight back but it was futile. Saya completely swallowed his consciousness and she didn't even let him recover.

After a while, the expression on Souta's face turned back to normal. He looked at his hands and muttered, "It's been a while since I've controlled this body. I'm afraid that he will not let me do this that's why I forced myself in."

The one who's controlling Souta's body was Saya. "Souta" closed his eyes and went deeper into his inner consciousness.

Saya saw Souta's figure was curling up like a baby inside a mother's womb. His expression was peaceful and calm.

"You should rest here for a while. I will not let you end up just like my past wielders. I will hold tightly onto the last bit of humanity that you have and prevent you from being consumed by your desire. I will protect you in my own way even if you don't like it."

Saya said before she exited Souta's consciousness. Her only problem was that how she hid the fact that she was the one controlling Souta's body. She was sure that the others would notice it especially Yuko who knew Souta.

"This is a problem..."

Souta said and his body flashed. His ten shadows scattered around in every direction and in just a few minutes, he located Isabella's position.

When he landed on the ground, Isabella noticed him and she approached Souta. She just finished fighting some monsters and she was quite tired.

"Souta, is there something?" Isabella tilted her head as she found it strange that Souta was looking around with a wary expression.
