Chapter 1290 That's cheating

Liam instantly stiffened up, his entire body freezing. Yes, he had a slight fear of the aura that this woman had unleashed, an aura possessing a hint of something primordial. But that was not it. That was not what made him freeze. It was that voice again.

The mere voice had made him freeze up as if it was a skill effect. It had a domineering presence like an Emperor that did not allow him to move.

Liam's face turned grave. This was not good. Why was this woman suddenly targeting him? Come near him and his group? They were all going to die right here and now?

For some reason, the white fog once again picked up as it started covering the entire battlefield, almost as if it was helping them but it did not matter. The very next moment, the white fog cleared out as if it was nothing.

In front of such an imperial presence, everything was nothing. They were all going to die right here and now if he did not do anything. Maybe he should sacrifice someone from his group. The elf. He was nothing but trouble and deep down Liam knew it. That's right. If he sacrificed him, then all his problems would be solved.

No. What was he thinking?

Liam's head felt as if it was going to burst. Even his thoughts were becoming sluggish and blurred. It was as if someone was toying with his head, with his thoughts. No. He could not allow things to continue in this manner. Summoning a jolt from somewhere deep inside his being, forcing it purely out of his will power, he snapped himself out of the stupor. His body that was frozen until now shuddered. free webno vel

The domineering aura can go fuck itself for all he cared. He did not know why but he vaguely recollected something even more sinister, something a lot more incomprehensible. In front of that, nothing else was relevant. That was true death, destruction and oblivion.

Liam suddenly felt his head once again throb as he completely lost track of his thoughts and memory. He had no idea what he was thinking about just now. But it did not matter. All that mattered was survival.

It only took him a second. Without thinking about anything else, without making any complicated calculations, he acted right then and there. He swung his sword shoving the entirety of his dao seed of ice into the attack like a heathen not wasting any time.

The attack was overtly bombastic. It did not have the elegance that his attacks typically possessed. It was extremely crude and was bursting in it seems but it was enough to do the job.

Of course, Liam had no intentions of attacking this freakishly strong girl. Instead, he attacked the person that was closest to him on the right side. A hunched up guy with a weird basket on his back. Something slithered out of his back as if the person had sensed that Liam was about to attack him but it was not nearly fast enough. The Arcane Sword Slash bounded forward like a wolf howling in rage and it claimed its victim, devouring him completely.

Shockingly, a red wave also rippled forward almost at the same time. However, that attack was slightly delayed too.

"Tee hee… that was not fair, Mr. White." The voice spoke again. "You played dirty. Do you know what happens to cheaters?"

The next second Liam felt an enormous pressure douse him from all sides, a pressure even greater than the first one. If the first one had a hint of primordial aura, then this was primordial aura itself and it wanted to crush him into nothingness. The air around him thickened, becoming almost solid, pressing against his skin like a physical force. His breath caught in his chest, and for a moment, it felt as if he was standing in front of the raw essence of unbridled power.

But the next second, everything crumbled. His vision turned dark and he was whisked out of that hell into somewhere soothing. Liam only let out a deep breath when he saw the familiar face of his fox pressed up against him. "Master!" Luna licked his face. "Master, did I miss out on some fun again?" The little fox mischievously asked, making Liam get goosebumps all over his body.

"One second." He took a few more breaths and only then he was able to steady himself. He looked around to make sure everyone else was fine, and thankfully, the entire group seemed to be intact. Well, except for the dazed, horror filled look in their faces.

Liam knew that they would take some time to recuperate so he summoned a few elven soul minions who had the ability to heal and make the environment a little more nourishing. They currently seem to have landed on some sort of arid basin with no immediate danger in the vicinity.

The other good news was that the entire group was together which made their lives a little easier.

Just as Liam was processing everything around him, he all of a sudden froze as his gaze shifted to the one other body lying on the ground right next to Madan, Lan Deming and Eldrin. It was a familiar face with a warm smile plastered on it.

Rey was happily lying on the ground with a content expression on his face.

"Heh." Liam chuckled. "I have greatly underestimated you. You are just like your sister, aren't you? Talented and with an iron will. Your smile is also the same."

"Thank you, big bro." Rey grinned, flashing his eyes open. "Did I do good?" He sat up straight, being the first one to recover from the aftereffects of the last trial. "I made sure that our group was well hidden and even made a few target other specific beings. He He."

Liam nodded. He had already figured it out. The guy who was shrouded in mist and the person who had been good enough to cast a wide net spanning the width of the entire battleground was none other than Rey.
