Inside the shadow, fear was written all over the black goblin as it tried to retreat. Alas, it was too late as Kira's golden spear was whistling toward it.

Bang!

The sharp golden spear pierced through the thick black goblin skin and sent it flying. The power from the strike was so great that the goblin didn't have any chance until it was nailed to the ground.

Ah!

The goblin cried as green blood sprouted out from its mouth and a ghastly injury appeared on its chest. It grimaced in pain wiggling back and forth as it tried to free itself from the spear. Unfortunately, it was futile.

Kira appeared in front of the black goblin and looked directly into the goblin's eyes. The goblin looked at her with fury. It couldn't understand how a human could have such power. Gradually, life began to drain out of its body and its struggle got slower before it closed slowly. Dead.

Huh!

She let out a sigh of relief and withdrew her spear. As she wanted to depart, her eyes caught sight of a yellow stone inside the goblin's chest.

'What the hell is that?' She exclaimed in her heart and creased her brow.

___Soul Stone____

Grade: low

Note: it contains the pure energy of heaven and earth.

___

Seeing the short description of the soul stone, Kira froze for a moment without blinking. She knew what soul stones mean and how to use them. In the book of knowledge, their many references to soul stones and how they could be used.

Her breath quickened as she reached out her hand to pick up the soul stone. She looked at the soul stone in her palm with a fascinating gaze.

'Soul this is soul stones.'

Unknown to her, a golden light fell on her and a third circle appeared on her head while her soul power strengthened and increased. Many of the things that elude her in Alchemy appeared in her mind with deeper understanding. Also, her heavenly mark strengthens, increasing her perception.

After a couple of seconds, the golden light faded and Kira recovered from the blessing and a light smile crept up to her face.

"I knew something important would happen if I killed the goblin but who expected this." She mused in elation.

'Congratulation.' Justin's voice echoed in her head.

'Thank you. Without you, I won't have been able to defeat the goblin.'

'Don't look down on yourself. You deserve the praise.'

Hmm. Hmm. She nodded and departed while still relishing her level up. Meanwhile, the battle inside the ark was reaching its climax as the gray goblins were trying to capture some humans.

Unfortunately, every attempt to escape with their prey was canceled by a dead shot from Merab.

As a long-range fighter, the goblins were having a headache dealing with her while many had tried to get her down. But it was for nuts.

Deep in the darkness, a tunnel that led deeper into the ground had 5 black goblins looking in the direction of the ark. They were taller and darker and their club was bigger than the previous black goblin.

The five goblins commentated with one another in an unknown language. Shortly, their eyes glowed and they rushed toward the surface.

Inside the ark, Justin had moved since the start of the fight as he wanted the people to deal with the goblin by themselves. He realized the people are dependent on him and that was not good.

However, when he noticed the appearance of the five goblins. He knitted his brow and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled in his previous position and he was long gone.

Bang!

One of the five goblins was sent flying, hitting the side of the tunnel, and green liquid splashed out of its mouth. While the other four halted on their track and looked at their comrade, not understanding what just happened.

In the darkness, a golden light flashed and another goblin was sent flying the other goblin looked in the direction of the golden light.

A young man with long golden hair and eyes stood straight, with his hand behind his back. This was Justin. Since the others were busy, he decided to deal with five goblins. Besides, the soul stones were something important to him.

"#$@%&@#Nu%ER" One of the goblins shouted and rushed toward him.

When it was a couple of feet from Justin, he disappeared into the darkness. Goblins were mischievous and the black goblins were difficult to deal with.

But unfortunately, they met their nemesis. Justin's dual ability was the bane of stealth ability. Nothing could escape from his perception.

The black goblin tried to maneuver to his back when a whistling sound echoed in the tunnel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The black goblin in the shadow was flying and was forced out of the shadow when another attack hit its head.

Squash!

Its head was blown to smithereens and crashed to the ground, sliding a couple of feet before it stopped. Albeit, it was in front of the other black goblins.

The remaining goblins looked at their comrade for a moment without making a sound while those on the grimaced silently. These five were third-grade and tier-three goblins which were stronger than the previous goblin Kira fought. Previously, they thought their underling was weak and decided to finish the job themselves. But this.....

They raised their heads and fear was written all over their faces. The goblins made an indistinct sound and turned to escape. Unfortunately, they only took a couple of steps when a whistling sound echoed in their ears.historical

Boom!

The goblin tunnel shook and debris fell. The two goblins that were trying to escape had turned to smithereens as their body parts scattered everywhere. The tunnel reeked of the smell of goblin blood which was nauseating.

Justin twitched his brow and tapped his nose under the nauseating smell. It took him a lot of endurance not to puke. He looked at the quiet goblins on the ground and killed them with the waves of his hand.

'I will die if I stay here any longer.' He shouted in his mind. With the waves of his hand, five low-grade soul stones floated from the dead goblin bodies and appeared in front of him. He looked at the soul stones and nodded, keeping the soul stones inside his pocket.

Whoosh!

Justin disappeared from the tunnel as he almost suffocated under the extremely nauseating smell.

Three seconds later, Justin appeared in the control center and breathed a sigh of relief.

'What a bad smell.' He exclaimed.

He recovered from the smell and spread his perception to the limit, watching the battle on the ark. Although he left to kill the five goblins. It only took him thirty seconds and no one knew of his disappearance.

The battle inside the ark was coming to an end. With the support of Kira and Susan. The gray goblins were killed easily. Nevertheless, the tenacity of the goblin was something that made Justin worry.

Also, he realized a lot of people were injured and the defense team could only do so much under the continual stream of goblins and their unending tenacity.

'This must not continue.'

'We need to strengthen the defense team.'

In the commoner section, Lola was drenched in both red and green blood as she panted continuously. Around her were a couple of gray goblins lying lifelessly on the ground. Also, a couple of feet from her were two humans with their neck and back mutilated.

She looked at the two people without any expression on her face. She wiped the green blood from her face and looked at the deep cut on her waist and gnashed her teeth.

She forced herself to stand up with the help of her sword and looked at the ongoing battle in front of her.

Mack had turned into a metal as every punch from him pushed a couple of goblins back. Moreover, those that were unlucky got their bones broken.

"Let me give you a hand?" Nika entered the commoner section and sent a powerful fist toward the group of gray goblins.

Boom!

Three of the goblins that failed to react on time were turned into smithereens while only a few were left unscathed.

"Oh, some of you escaped." Nika creased his brow and sent two punches that left an afterimage.

Bang! Bangs

Under the powerful fist, the car shook back and forth with green liquid splashing everywhere. The defense team and the ordinary human looked left of the goblin and their mouth was ajar.

"The goblin had been killed. Everyone should come out from their hiding spot and try to restore everything to order." Nika announced with a stern voice, leaving no room for argument.

"How are you doing?" He looked at the exhausted Mack and the defense team.

"We are good. We only need a short rest and we will be back on our feet." Mack said as he sat on the chair, trying to catch his breath. Besides, a deep cut appeared on his thigh, dripping with blood.

"Lola, come here," Nika called. "How's your injury?"

"I'm alright." She leaped forward while she vowed deep in her heart to get stronger.
