The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak - Chapter 999: Witch Hunt: Destruction

“I would welcome the destruction of the Walpurgis Night, but by involving me, you’ve essentially challenged me to a fight to the death,” Poisonous Vine asserted, her voice laced with determination. Releasing a dense surge of mana, she surrounded herself with swirling elemental energy, activating numerous spells and combat techniques to bolster her strength. “Very well, your strength is commendable. You shall serve as a fitting sacrifice to the greater will,” Elder Uiny replied calmly.

Poisonous Vine raised her hand, pointing it squarely at the elder. “Be warned, I am not the only one who heard your words.”

Elder Uiny turned slightly, her gaze falling upon a man wielding a long sword behind her.

It was Captain Sarguan.

Elder Uiny reacted swiftly, shifting her body just in time to narrowly avoid Captain Sarguan’s slashing attack. With a quick motion, she delivered a forceful knee to his stomach, sending him hurtling several hundred meters away. But before she could fully recover, a powerful force struck her body, propelling her backward.

Bang!!

“Haha, you fell for it. I warned you about someone behind you so you wouldn’t notice me when I attacked,” Poisonous Vine laughed triumphantly as she pursued the elder.

Launching herself into the air, Poisonous Vine’s whip flashed through the air, creating an arc as it wrapped around Elder Uiny. Spikes erupted from the whip as Poisonous Vine slammed the elder forcefully onto the ground.

Poisonous Vine withdrew her whip, unleashing a green smoke that signaled the release of a potent poison.

“Ha! Who would have thought that the esteemed witches would harbor traitors among them! It’s laughable!” she exclaimed.

With incredible speed, Poisonous Vine swung her whip hundreds of times in just a second. The ground collapsed beneath her as molten rocks shot into the air, accompanied by deafening sounds echoing through the area.

As she continued her assault, Poisonous Vine observed a concerning development: the temperature was steadily rising, indicating that Elder Uiny’s elemental power was spreading across the land, altering the terrain.

In the next instant, dozens of volcanoes erupted simultaneously, sending molten rocks soaring into the sky.

Boom!!

Captain Sarguan rose to his feet, his gaze fixed on the ongoing battle. With clenched teeth, he muttered, “That woman… I shouldn’t assist her, but leaving that elder unchecked is too perilous. She understands her own limitations against the elder.”

Glancing around, he noticed that Amanda and Princess Iris had retreated to a safe distance. The chaos had drawn the attention of others in the vicinity, prompting them to flee. However, the relentless golems continued their pursuit, showing no concern for the safety of their targets.

“I had intended to withdraw, but I have a foreboding feeling about this…” Captain Sarguan muttered to himself.

One of the elders harbored intentions to annihilate the Walpurgis Night. Something was unfolding beyond his comprehension.

Bang!!

Elder Uiny rose to her feet, her gaze fixed on Poisonous Vine. Her body radiated with a dense dream power, causing the ground to tremble beneath her.

“Traitor? From your perspective, perhaps, but I beg to differ. How can I be considered a traitor when I was never aligned with the Walpurgis Night to begin with?” Elder Uiny replied calmly.

“And what is your allegiance, then?” Poisonous Vine questioned.

“Moon Coven. Ever since Morgan Le Fay began delving into the calamity, we made it our mission to thwart her at any cost. The truth must remain concealed to prevent catastrophe,” Elder Uiny explained.

“Haha! You actually answered my question. Are you idiot?” Poisonous Vine burst into laughter. “Moon Coven! I’ll make sure to find it and obliterate your little witch gathering! Hahaha!”

“Worry not, for you shall not depart from the Walpurgis Night. There is nothing that can impede us now. The two Supreme Elders who could oppose us are no more. All those present here will be sacrificed for the greater will,” Elder Uiny declared.

Poisonous Vine’s expression turned serious. The revelation that the two Supreme Elders of the Walpurgis Night were deceased was no trivial matter. It indicated that the elder before her was meticulously prepared for the destruction of the Walpurgis Night.

“I care little for the fate of the Walpurgis Night, but I have no desire to meet my end here… I am no match for this wretched elder, so it seems today shall mark my demise. Damned luck! If only that Spatial Whisperer were present, we could join forces against this fool,” Poisonous Vine muttered, rubbing her chin as she contemplated her grim fate.

Elder Uiny smiled faintly before adding, “Allow me to divulge further. Among the six elders, one is an ally of mine. We have deliberately avoided regions connected to the Dream Palace, as they harbor experimental beings that engage in deadly combat. Anyone who ventures there is doomed to face them, a fate akin to certain death.”

“Oh, she’s still prattling on? Is she enamored with dispensing information? Frankly, it’s giving me creeps,” Poisonous Vine muttered under her breath.

“That’s enough chatter. I sense several individuals approaching this vicinity. If they have not fled, it must be because they are confident in their strength,” Elder Uiny declared before launching herself toward her intended target.

“Oh? Reinforcements, you say? How quaint. I’ll simply await their sacrifice then,” Poisonous Vine remarked, swinging her whip confidently.

Elder Uiny swiftly evaded the whip’s lash, focusing her mana into her saber as she locked her gaze on Poisonous Vine.

Poisonous Vine shifted her stance, narrowly avoiding the slash that whizzed past her. Sensing the imminent danger, she leaped backward, but Elder Uiny relentlessly pursued her.

Bang! Bang!

The two clashed fiercely, and Captain Sarguan reentered the fray. With determination, he joined the battle with all his might from the outset, recognizing that holding back would only hasten his demise against the superior Elder Uiny.

Amanda and Princess Iris watched the battle unfold from a safe distance, several kilometers away. They were unable to retreat due to the golems attacking people from afar.

“Does Captain Sarguan truly have to engage in combat?” Amanda inquired.

“Captain Sarguan has always been that way. But did you hear what the elder said? The Walpurgis Night is doomed,” Princess Iris replied with a somber tone.

“Yes, it’s doomed,” a voice suddenly echoed from behind them, startling both Amanda and

Princess Iris.

Amanda narrowed her eyes, taking a cautious step back. “Who are you?” she demanded. Princess Iris remained silent, but her expression mirrored Amanda’s uncertainty.

The newcomer was a petite woman with blue hair tied back, accompanied by a bald monk.

“I’m Edeya, and this is Zhang Ren. You may remember us from the banquet,” the woman introduced herself and her companion. She then turned her attention to the ongoing battle. “You’re discussing the Walpurgis Night, correct? On our journey here, we stumbled upon something intriguing. The destruction has already commenced. The edges of this land are slowly collapsing, and magic circles are appearing beneath the ground, accelerating the

Process.”

“W-What do you mean?” Princess Iris stammered, her voice tinged with apprehension.

Edeya pointed to her head, emphasizing her words. “Remember when this game began? It stated there were two days until its conclusion, but the magic circles are now shortening that time limit. We were ambushed by a group of witches, and after interrogating them, we

Learned something crucial.”

“What did they say?” Amanda inquired eagerly.

“They revealed that Elder Uiny and Elder Cermine were the ones who ordered the attacks on

All participants and kept potential threats at bay. These two elders are traitors, and they likely know who created this game. The only way to halt the acceleration of destruction is to destroy all the magic circles throughout the Walpurgis Night or eliminate the two traitors,” Edeya explained grimly, casting a determined glance toward the ongoing battle.

“The elders are formidable, which is precisely why cooperation is imperative,” Zhang Ren,

The bald monk, asserted.

“But where is this Elder Cermine you mentioned?” Amanda inquired.

“We’re uncertain. Our intention is to locate her once we’ve dealt with Elder Uiny. It’s crucial

That we stop her,” Edeya responded.

“Do you think you can defeat the elder?” Amanda pressed further.

“I cannot say. We’ll ascertain our chances once we join the fray. But for now, let us cease our

Discussion. Those battling the elder are in need of assistance,” Edeya remarked, her gaze fixed on the ongoing conflict.

As Amanda and Princess Iris watched Edeya and Zhang Ren soar toward the battlefield with incredible speed, they realized the enormity of the impending battle. It dawned on them that an elder of the Walpurgis Night wielded such formidable strength that it necessitated the collaboration of numerous experts to confront.

The six elders had not attained their positions through mere happenstance; they had diligently honed their skills and climbed to positions of power through relentless effort.

The situation within the Walpurgis Night was complex. Numerous factions operated in the shadows, some aligned in temporary alliances with conflicting agendas at play.

Until now, only a few people knew that the two Supreme Elders were dead. They were killed at

The hands of the traitors, Elder Uiny and Elder Cermine. The deaths of the two Supreme Elders were a significant blow to the organization. They wouldn’t be able to function without the two highest authorities, who were only second to the matriarch.

“I wonder where Souta and the others are…” Amanda muttered, watching the battle from

Afar.

Looking back, no one knew that the events of Walpurgis Night would solidify the name of the Blood Lightning Monster. It was the time when he showcased his unrivaled prowess.

It was the time they dubbed him as the Destroyer, the Monster Without Equal.
