Re: Evolution Online-Novel

Liam did not have a chance to look at the stupefied expression on Madan's face. He was in a world of his own as he swam amidst the thick nether aura that surrounded him from all sides. 

For others, this might be suffocating, but for him, it was as if he was in the womb of his mother. The energy gently caressed him and nourished him, forming a thick impenetrable protective aura around him.

He did not even have to lift a finger. The swirls of nether automatically gathered around him like metal particles on a magnet.

Liam breathed in another lungful of the nether-rich air, and with a sudden burst of energy, he propelled himself forward.

As for the undead mobs that had risen in the dungeon to prevent these kinds of intruders from entering the dungeon, they all stood aside and made way for him.

It was as if they recognized him as their master, their ruler, and they dared not to challenge his authority.

Liam swam through the dark and twisting corridors of the dungeon, his senses heightened. The further he headed in, the more the nether increased in concentration, and it felt even better.

And the undead monsters that he left behind in his wake all started moving in the same direction.

Meanwhile, Madan watched this scene and stood frozen on the spot. He was fully in a daze. He did not even know where to begin to understand what he just saw.

Was this the same dungeon that he had previously come to?

The level 50 mobs that were deadly to anyone who stepped foot inside this dungeon were acting like hypnotized brain-dead fans and were following Liam blindly.

The suffocating nether only seemed to give him a boost.

All in all, this was not even a dungeon for that guy. This was some sort of luxury spa resort where he was currently vacationing!

In this state, Madan thought back to how he had promised Liam that he would watch his back. Right now, those words sounded extremely stupid and silly.

Madan stared at the distance where Liam had disappeared into and contemplated following him, but he decided to give up on that idea. 

At this point, more than help, it would only be him prying on Liam for secrets, and he genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with him. 

So after a couple of minutes, he simply sat down at the entrance of the dungeon and waited patiently for Liam to do his thing.

At the other end, Liam had already reached the third floor of the dungeon. 

He simply raced through the place and let loose without holding back anything. He felt free and liberated and completely let go of all the other things that were weighing heavily on him.

For now, he focused on one thing and only one thing, which was his current state. 

Earlier, it was not very obvious, but now that his soul was injured a little, Liam started to understand some things better and better.

His body, his mind, and his soul were completely off balance. These three corners of his basic foundation were skewed at different angles.

Perhaps this was why he had not yet awakened completely or even managed to step into the next tier in terms of his soul strength. Maybe this was also why his body was easily injured when he repeatedly used the [Soul Splice] skill.

However, this was not a problem that Liam could address at the moment. 

He needed more knowledge and more resources to align and center himself in the best state possible. Not to mention, there was also the matter of mana and nether being unable to coexist together.

Right now, with the threat of isons looming over him and the guild, starting to tackle this dead-end problem was definitely a bad choice, something that was going to make him lose.

So Liam had a different plan. He continued moving through the floors of the dungeon freely until he arrived at the fourth floor. Here there were demonic undead monsters whose level was around 85 to 95.

And for the first time, the undead dared to stand up against Liam. They did not simply submit to him willingly. 

These undeads could see that the human being in front of them was extremely powerful, but their own power and strength were also not insignificant. So they couldn't bring themselves to submit to him.

However, this made very little difference to Liam. 

With just the flicker of his gaze, he materialized a huge scythe made of roiling nether and sliced the mob of undeads with the weapon. Herds and herds of undead fell with each swing.

It looked like the unique feature of an undead dungeon was the sheer number of mobs, but Liam did not even stop or pause to deal with them. 

He simply commanded the massive scythe to continue swinging in front of him as he bolted forward with more and more speed and power, accumulating kills and experience points as he did.

At this point, the concentration of nether was so thick that he felt as if he could fly through the dungeon, manipulating the energy around him.

Liam grinned as he stopped and tried this. 

The thick, dense waves of nether obeyed his command and lifted him up, and in a second, he was actually floating mid-air. It just came to him instinctively.

"I can get used to this." His devious smile widened, and he shot forward with an even greater speed. 

The nether around him was so intoxicating that he couldn't wait to reach the last floor where probably the density of nether was the highest.

And all the minions standing in his way were only becoming fodder for the giant scythe that seemed unstoppable.

Experience points chimed in endlessly, and since there were no other minions present, not even Luna, for the first time, he was getting all of the points. It felt incredible.

By the time he reached the fifth floor, he had actually leveled up twice!

Level 95!

Liam was so close to stepping onto the next stage of the world!
