The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak - Chapter 700: Tournament of Astros: Eilish vs Eztein

Chapter 700: Tournament of Astros: Eilish vs Eztein

Under the eyes of hundreds of people, Eztein and Eilish strode toward the arena.

“Mwahaha!”

Eztein laughed loudly as he stood in the arena with overwhelming confidence. He cracked his knuckles before he took out his weapon. A three-meter-long golden halberd with silver-colored serpents coiling around it.

He stared at his opponent as he tightened his grip on his weapon.

Ohm!

A dominant energy slowly oozed out of his body. It caused the entire arena to tremble.

“It’s time…”

Eztein grinned.

Eilish simply looked at him. Her hips were swaying left and right as she strode forward before she stopped ten meters away from her opponent.

A staff crashed beside her. It was the weapon that she always used. A weapon that could amplify her spell power.

Unlike Eztein who was showing off his overwhelming aura, Eilish simply stood in her position, waiting for the host to start the battle.

“Oh, Eztein just broke through the One Shackle Realm yet the aura he possessed is stronger than the previous Witch Clan’s Clan Leader.” Souta was amused. He was looking forward to the rest of this fight.

“But it’s not easy to defeat Eilish,” Alice commented. “Although she is still at One Shackle, her power is stronger than before. She is far stronger than she was back in the sub-world.”

“Yes, Eilish is a top contender.” Souta nodded at her words.

Ohm!

Layers of barriers formed around the arena. It was to protect the audience from any harm and also, a battle between One Shackle Realm could cause the entire area within a one-kilometer radius to evaporate. Even though the mana density had increased, they could still cause further destruction with the power that they possessed.

“Let’s the battle begin!!!”

Meina’s voice traveled everywhere and it was a signal to start the battle.

The rules were simple. The contestant would lose if they surrender, got knocked out, or couldn’t get up within five seconds.

Eztein and Eilish just stared at each other even though the battle had already started. They were observing the movements and were waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, Eztein jumped in mid-air as he poured his mana into his halberd.

“Since you are a mage, I thought that you would create a distance between us!”

In the next moment, the halberd in his hand vanished. It flew towards Eilish with unbelievable speed.

Swoosh!

Eilish smiled as she stared at the halberd. She slightly shifted her body and a flash of light burst through right beside her.

Boom!!

The halberd didn’t even hit her. It simply crashed on the position beside her.

“Tsk!” Eztein clicked his tongue when he saw this scene. He put both of his palms together and his mana flared up.

[Collapsing Earth Wave]!!

A huge crack formed on the floor beneath Eilish’s feet. The entire area collapsed creating a huge valley before the two sides of the floor flew in her direction.

Eilish raised the staff in her hand and a semi-transparent sphere formed around her. The boulders crashed at her and the barrier protected her from any harm.

Bang!!

“You are strong but it will take more than that if you want to defeat me,” Eilish said softly.

[Water Forming Dragon]!

With a wave of her staff, five dragons made of water formed around her. The water dragons hurriedly pounced at Eztein with great momentum.

Bang! Bang!

Eztein swiftly moved his body as he avoided them one by one. He runs through the body of the water dragon and lets it collide with another water dragon.

Bang!

He jumped from side to side before he picked up his halberd. Lightning and flames covered his body.

[Lion Charge]!!

His body flashed forward leaving a trail of lightning and flames.

Eilish narrowed her eyes as she jumped away while casting a spell. More than thirty fist-size energy spheres formed around her. Each sphere contained enough power to directly obliterate an A-rank expert.

[Spiral Dominant Sphere]!

She quickly fired the energy spheres at her opponent.

Boom!! Boom!!

Eztein moved too fast as he tried to avoid all the energy spheres. Unfortunately, one landed on his left shoulder causing a small explosion.

Ugh!

He groaned then he realized that he was covered in shadows. When he looked up, he saw another water dragon crashing down at him.

“Damn! This bitch!”

Eztein gritted his teeth as he raised his halberd above his head. It was too late to dodge so he could only try to block this attack.

Bang!!

The water dragon slammed onto his body and it continued to descend. The momentum was high that it crashed him into the floor.

“AHHH!!!”

Eztein roared as flames enveloped his weapon. Then, lightning covered his body causing the floor on his back to collapse.

Boom!!

He gritted his teeth as he grabbed the water dragon with his hand covered in lightning. Then, he thrust the halberd which was covered in flames.

[Dual Element Drive: Lightning and Fire Force]!!

Boom!!

The water dragon evaporated instantly. Eztein shot through the mid-air and he found Eilish in the corner of the barrier.

His figure was releasing high-pressure energy which caused the area to tremble. Lightning and flames were violently dancing around his body. It covered the entire space around the barrier, not giving any Eilish a chance to escape.

“Persistent,”

Eilish said as she narrowed her eyes. Now that Eztein used his [Element Drive], she guess that it was the right time to take this seriously.

At this moment, she would focus on taking down Eztein with all of her might.

Boom!

The audience didn’t even know what was happening in the arena. All they could see was a flash of elements every second. Their perception wasn’t at the level where they could follow the movements of two One Shackle experts.

Even S-rank could barely follow Eztein’s and Eilish’s movements. Only people at peak S-rank and above understood what was happening in the arena.

“Hooo!! What is going on?! The battle between Lady Eilish and Sir Eztein is too fierce! I don’t deserve to be a host of this battle!” Meina yelled as she stared at the arena with wide eyes.

She turned around and looked at her surrounding. Her eyes lit up when she saw Torkez standing at the side.

She approached him and asked, “Chief Torkez, can you give us your comment about this battle? You’re one of the contestants so it would help us understand what is happening.”

Torkez glanced at her for a second before he looked at the battle. “I’m a participant but Eztein and Eilish are at entirely different levels. I will not win if I face any of them. Hence, I couldn’t accurately describe the fight.”

“It’s fine, Chief Torkez. Just give us some idea.” Meina said with a smile.

“Hm… Okay.” Torkez nodded. “From what I could see, Eztein is in trouble. He’s having a hard time approaching Eilish. If he made one wrong move, I think Eilish has enough firepower to end him.”

“Ohhhh~” Meina looked at the battle. “Thank you for your helping us, Chief Torkez!”

…

“It’s going to end soon. It’s prepared. If it continued those magic circles around would simply bombard the entire arena.” Souta watched the battle with an amused look. It’s pretty interesting to watch them fight.

But there’s someone that surprised him. It was Eilish. Although she was still at One Shackle Realm, her combat prowess was higher than he imagined. With her current combat strength, she would be able to trash Clan Leader Rowan without any effort.

“Yeah,” Alice couldn’t help but nod at his words. She understood what he meant.

The two of them continued to observe the battle.

Boom!!

A loud explosion occurred and the layers of barrier were shaken. It forced Torkez to add another third stage monster orb to support the barrier. The shock was too intense and the monster orbs on each corner of the arena couldn’t take the power of Eztein and Eilish.

Even the personnel that were managing the barrier were having a hard time.

Swoosh~

Cough! Cough!

Eztein coughed a mouthful of blood. His body was covered in blood but he still has the energy to fight.

“Shit, it’s bad.”

He gritted his teeth as he looked up and saw Eilish floating above.

Eilish chuckled before she pointed her staff at him and said, “It’s time to end this Eztein. It’s not that easy to defeat me. You’re just an ordinary agent at that time when I was ruling the entire underground world of Earthen Core City.”

“Like hell, you could defeat me!!” Eztein roared as he rushed ahead while tightly gripping the halberd in his hand. Lightning and flames surrounded his body as strings of flesh enveloped his weapon.

Swoosh!

His wounds quickly healed as he arrived in front of Eilish. His appearance had changed. He used the power of his parasite to boost his physical strength.

With a resounding roar, he swung the halberd in his hand.

“Well, you still can’t defeat me with your current strength,” Eilish said as she narrowed her eyes.

Ohm!

The tip of the halberd stopped before her eyes. Just an inch and it would cut her. Too bad, she already prepared the outcome.
