The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 211 Bountiful Rewards

Chapter 211 Bountiful Rewards

Two weeks had passed since the incident in the outdoor training. Souta finally woke up from his coma.

Souta separated himself from Yuko and took out the transmission talisman. He recalled that he didn’t have any mana in his current condition so he looked at Lumilia and asked, "Can I borrow your mana for a while?"

"For what?" Lumilia slightly tilted her head.

"I couldn’t activate this talisman as I don’t have any mana so I need yours." Souta explained to her what he’s going to do and Lumilia agreed to him after hearing his words.

He quickly held her hand and saw her looking at their hands with a dazed expression. He shook his hand and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" Lumilia hurriedly shook her head. She then took a deep breath to calm herself.

After a few seconds, Souta felt her mana entering his body. He hurriedly poured the mana into the transmission talisman before it disappeared in his body.

The talisman emitted a dim yellow light indicating that he activated it.

"Jimmy... It’s me, Souta." Souta said to the transmission talisman.

"S-Souta...? Souta! Are you really Souta!? When did you wake up?" Jimmy’s loud voice echoed throughout the room.

Souta knitted his eyebrows and he said, "Lower your voice... I’ll tell you that I just woke up but I have a question for you."

Jimmy inhaled deeply on the other side of the talisman. After he calmed down he said, "Okay, tell me your question."

"What happened to the team that I formed in your corporation? Also, can you tell them that I’ll meet them in two days? I need to settle some things first." Souta spoke normally while looking at Lumilia. He didn’t know if he already told her about this or not.

"Hmm...? About that... I already told them what happened to you so they were waiting for you to come here and start the expedition." Jimmy spoke to him through the talisman.

"I’m fine now so you don’t have to worry, I will continue the expedition as I don’t want to delay it anymore," Souta said to him.

The expedition in Forest of Eternal Light was very important to him. He would be able to complete the Universal Item called [Soul Blood Earring]. It will become his ace in the near future. Plus, he will start retrieving the requirements for his evolution and Yuko’s evolution.

The third evolution was a turning point for every monster. Once they reach this level, they will become a true monster.

Also, the demons will start to appear here in the next few months.

Souta explained to Jimmy what happened to him. He didn’t include the things that the institute hid in the public but with Jimmy’s connection, he was sure that Jimmy knew about the appearance of the Deadly Sins.

After he finished talking to Jimmy, Souta saw Lumilia’s confused expression. It seems that she didn’t know that their expedition included those adventurers from the Lanny corps.

"I tell you about it..." Souta sighed and he slowly explained it to her. He didn’t leave anything as he told her everything about it.

"I see... So, in other words, we’ll go to the Forest of Eternal Light with them." Lumilia nodded at him.

"Yes, that’s the gist of it." Souta looked at the window and asked, "Where are Bryan, Lynn, and Alice? Also, Brando?"

"They? They were at the institute. I skip class today to take care of you." Lumilia responded to him.

"Hmm... Do we have food here?" Souta inquired her as he felt hungry. His whole body was covered in bandages. His smell was quite bad. He guessed that no one dared to wash his body.

"No, but don’t worry, I’ll cook something for you," Lumilia said hurriedly before she stood up and left the room.

Souta just watched her back before he looked down at her swinging blue tail. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it but he quickly regained his composure so he stopped himself.

"Well, it’s time to check the rewards that I received from that incident," Souta muttered as he focused his attention on the interface in his vision. He saw various notifications in his system.

[You’ve completed the quest!]

[Do you want to receive the rewards? Yes/No?]

’Yes.’ Souta said in his mind without hesitation.

*Ding!*

[Processing the grade...]

[Processing completed!]

[You’ve received Grade S score!]

[Calculating the rewards...]

*Ding!*

[Calculating completed!]

[You’ve received 2 level up cards, 2 skill level up cards, 300,000 exp, 40 free attribute points, 15 skill points, and one-time use best feram skill card!]

*Ding!*

[You’ve received 10 skill points for defeating an enemy 20 levels higher than you!]

[You’ve received 10 skill points and 2 random cards for defeating an enemy 40 levels higher than you!]

Souta was shocked when he saw the rewards that he received. He wasn’t surprised by the fact that he received tons of exp, free attribute points, and skill points. He was surprised by the fact that he received the cards as his rewards.

The cards were implemented in version 2 of the game. It shouldn’t have appeared here in version 1.

He knitted his eyebrows and rubbed his chin. He pondered how did this happen. He couldn’t think of any reason except for his S-grade score in the quest. The quest was to fight the six-circle officers of the Deadly Sins and save the students from dying.

He guessed that no one managed to trigger this quest in the game. Even if they trigger it, the fact that the level cap of version 1 was level 20 restricted the power of the players. Maybe, that’s the reason why no one managed to get an S-grade score in a quest as hard as this one.

Maybe, all the functions of the game from version 1 to the latest were already in the system. He only needed to explore it.

If that’s the case, then he would be able to receive those ’rewards’ if he completed some ’condition’ just like in the game. The ’rewards’ that he mentioned were the cards. The cards have different types.

The level-up card. A type of card that increases the player’s level by one.

The skill level-up card. Just like the name of this card, it increases the level of any skill of the user.

The one-time skill card. It let the user borrow the skill that was written in the card for a certain period without any backlash.

The skill card. It was different from the one-time skill card. It was also different from the physical skill book in the world. It could use to learn the skill that was written in it without using any skill points.

And those achievement cards which have different purposes.

These cards can be acquired by completing high difficult quest, secret quest, chain quest, some by conquering high-level dungeons, etc. There were tons of ways to acquire these cards but all of them were difficult and needed great effort to accomplish one quest.

He received 2 random cards by defeating an opponent 40 levels higher than him. It was an achievement that’s why Souta received cards and skill points.

He also would be able to receive rewards once he managed to clear his first high-level dungeons.

There were tons of ways and Souta will slowly acquire it one by one.

Killing 40 levels higher than him wouldn’t be possible at higher levels. Souta could only do it because of the power of the monster potion. In truth, the monster potion would become ineffective to him once he reached the third evolution where he could acquire the power of best feram.

The side effects of drinking two monster potions were violent and extreme. He felt that he doesn’t want to experience it anymore. He was just lucky that he was a monster and the side effects weren’t as harsh as those from humans and demis.

Souta received a total of 35 skill points and it was a huge harvest for him. He still has 7 skill points so he had a total of 42 skill points including the one he received today. It seems that Bryan, Brando, and Lumilia completed some quest while he was out.

His [Gravitational Ball] spell was level 4. He upgraded it when he fought those six-circle officers. The skill points that he needed to level it up to ten were 45. He only needed to complete some C-rank quest in Adventurers Guild to earn 3 skill points. This way, his way towards the mid-tier class was close.

He would become a Battle Mage soon. A Battle Mage was a higher class of a Mage. A class was just like a monster. It had different evolution paths but in class case, it was called higher class.

Mage has different higher class paths. One was Battle Mage, which Souta was familiar with the most. It was a class which expertise in using spells at close-range combat. Sorcerer class was a higher class of mage who didn’t use a magic circle to cast a spell. Instead, they were using the power of words to create a spell. In short, they were chanting. There’s also an Elite Mage class. A higher class of mage with the same pattern as a normal mage. The only difference was that the spell power was many times higher than a normal mage. This path also leads to the path of the Archmage class.

But Souta didn’t want another class as he wasn’t familiar with those. He still wanted to become a battlemage as he knew this path like the back of his hand.

Based on his current progress, he will become a battlemage in the Forest of Eternal Light and it will become the place where he could test his power.

Souta couldn’t help but grin while thinking about this.
