Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 935 Stronger?

"Don't worry. I will take everything into account when I am calculating the rewards." Liam lightly laughed. "For now, I just want to say that you have all performed very well."

He wanted to say a few more words encouraging to the guild, but before he could open his mouth, a loud buzzing sound echoed from the distance.

Everyone immediately became tense as they stood up hurriedly, despite their tiredness. And when they took a better look…

Fuck! The fight was not yet over!

Another swarm of isons was heading straight for them, coming in at an impressive speed. Was this thing seriously not over yet? Just how many of these insects were present in a damn hive!

"SHIT! Everyone get in formation, now!" Alex shouted as she licked her dry and chaffed lips and held up her shield with her sword trembling in her other hand.

However, silently a figure appeared right next to her.

Liam placed a hand on the redhead's tensed shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry. Your training is already over. So I will deal with this batch of bugs."

Everyone stood still, and before they could process what they heard, the ten wyverns who were standing still all this time leaped into action.

While the rest of the soul minions continued to process the dead isons busily, the ten wyverns alone charged at the second swarm as they slaughtered and tore apart the fearsome bunch of insects into nothing.

The whole process barely took a couple of minutes. In front of the wyverns, the isons were nothing but small houseflies who flailed helplessly before eventually burning to their deaths.

The entire guild stood still and watched this unbelievable scene with their mouths wide agape. Was this the same group of insects against whom they had struggled tirelessly, putting their life on the line? Was this the same nightmare they had just now been proud of defeating?

Everyone silently gulped. Just a minute ago, they were all competing with each other over their levels, but now all of that confidence was once again shattered.

That was right. They could not afford to be happy with just this small progress. The true monsters were still infinitely more powerful than them, and one was standing right beside them.

They all glanced at Liam with awe, and the thing that resounded within them was that they still had a long way to go!

Hmmm? Liam could feel all the eyes staring at him, but he simply smiled. "There. Now it's over." He clapped and dusted his hands.

"Alright. My minions will take care of this mess. Alex, if you can, eat something and then start healing everyone. Take other healers, and don't forget to demonstrate your skill to them. The more they observe, the better."

"Ok. I will do that." Alex nodded.

Making sure all the soul minions were assigned to their respective tasks and mana cores and other valuable items were getting harvested, Liam then proceeded to walk toward the golden hive hill, which was still standing tall.

"Now it is time to tear this thing apart." He cracked his knuckles and stepped forward.

As swirls of mana gathered around him, Liam unsheathed the black dragon sword and slashed down at the second golden pyramid structure just like how he had dealt with the first one.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Immediately, a layer of golden barrier became visible.

Liam stilled for a moment, staring at this barrier. He was not sure, but for a second, it seemed as if a checked pattern flickered past the barrier, something that he had not seen in the pyramid structure before.

He paused but soon resumed his sword attacks since he couldn't sense the pattern again, no matter where he looked.

The fiery black dragon sword thrummed alive and repeatedly attacked the golden barrier. Liam aimed for the same spot and used the full power in his grasp to break and shatter the hurdle.

A second passed, and then another two passed.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Every time the black dragon sword clashed against the barrier, bright sparks flew everywhere, and Liam's hands trembled ever so slightly from the impact.

But surprisingly, even after the 20th slash, nothing seemed to be happening.

Liam frowned. Something was different this time. He could clearly feel it. The strength of the barrier was a notch higher than the one he had experienced before.

However, he did not fret. Though it was stronger, it was still within his grasp. Liam continued assaulting the same spot a few more times and then some more.

All the Crimson Abyss guild members standing nearby couldn't help but stare at this scene dazedly, unable to look away or even blink.

With every second that passed by, Liam's movements became more and more fierce. His blows were barely visible and completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.

With his speed and agility, all everyone could see was a blur, and yet they could feel the powerful vibrations emanating from this battle.

And finally, after a full ten minutes, there was some progress.

Every time Liam struck, the entire barrier started trembling. Soon, these tremors became more pronounced before the barrier collapsed wholly with a loud explosive noise.

The impact was so big that for a moment, the very earth everyone was currently resting upon shook.

Liam's frown deepened as he gazed coldly at the now bare naked golden structure in front of him. He inspected the hive hill once again, only to see the same result.

<Ding. Orichalcum: A versatile metal with numerous properties. It is mainly known for its mana conductivity and its strength. It is one of the widely used materials in manufacturing magic weapons>

The isons were the same, the structure was the same, and even the material was the same. From a perspective, everything really looked the same, so why was this barrier so much more difficult to break apart?

What was inside this hive hill that the previous one did not have?

Liam silently pondered as he stepped into the golden pyramid structure along with Luna.
