Re: Evolution Online

1031 Only one outcome

After seeing that the [Soul Freeze] attack had also worked on the Level 500 Ison King, Liam did not waste any time and immediately rushed forward to launch an all-out assault on the creature.

Even though the skill was not as effective as it had been against the Ison Queens, it had still bought him a few good seconds.

Right now the Ison King standing frozen was no different than a training dummy.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Liam swung the black dragon sword without holding back. Sparks flew as he pushed himself to the limit and struck down the ison using his most powerful attack again and again.

He knew very well that he only had a little time before the creature was back to its full form so he went all out right from the beginning.

Waves and waves of sword beams surrounded by the fiery mana engulfed the creature. The very sight looked marvelous.

The three standing on the side stared at this scene with dumb looks on their faces.

The draconian princess was still reeling from the shock that a human being from the lower realm had managed to acquire not one but two soul techniques.

The oracle had his eyes closed as if he was trying to understand something.

Only the monk was in high spirits. "Ho! Ho! Ho! I can see it! I am going to have terrible luck today! God bless us all!! We are saved! This good sir will definitely kill the beast and save the world!"

"Terrible luck? What the hell are you blabbering?" Caden turned to give a weird look at the charlatan. He ignored the illogical words that had come out of the guy's mouth and paid more attention to Liam.

"I don't know what you saw or did not see, but I don't think that this fight will go that smoothly."

And just as he murmured this, the Ison King immediately started stirring awake. It had awoken from its stupor.

"No. That's fine. He can execute the soul attack once again and -" The monk only barely opened his mouth when the next second, a powerful aura engulfed the Ison King.

And just as Liam cast the subsequent [Soul Freeze] to once more lock it down, in the split second, all of its injuries started healing!

"It regenerated?" The monk gasped.

"It probably went back to full health again." Caden sighed.

Though they were unable to see any specific details, from the looks of things, the creature almost fully recovered from the barrage of attacks Liam had thrown at it.

Liam, along with the three of them, then watched as this scene played out once again.

Liam had used the [Soul Freeze] for a second time and even this time, the Ison King was able to recover.

This meant that every time Liam used his [Soul Freeze] to lock the creature, it would also be able to recover from the damage again and again?

Liam frowned. This was a setback that he did not expect. The defensive ability of the creature was already so high and on top of that it was able to recover?

This was not good!

This essentially made the fight a battle between his ability to cast [Soul Freeze] and the King's ability to keep recovering.

And considering that his soul was already injured, would he really be able to come on top?

Liam grunted in pain and cast [Soul Freeze] one more time. He did not know what would be the outcome of this battle but as far as he was concerned, there was only one path ahead of him.

He needed to keep pushing on!

There was simply no other alternative. If he gave up now, then the consequences might be disastrous and irreversible.

Argghhhh!

Liam shouted loudly letting out all of his frustrations and kept attacking the Ison King again and again. His entire body trembled in weakness and his head was close to exploding.

The pain that he felt in his soul was also increasing every time he used the soul attack.

Wooo! Wooo! From within the barrier, Luna whined, tears leaking out of her eyes. She wanted to go out badly and help Liam but he had strictly asked her not to step outside.

Everyone else also had a similar expression. Though it wasn't too long since the fight started, they could all clearly see that it was Liam who was going to lose out first.

The Ison King stood like a towering mountain, unshaken and sturdy but Liam was already at his limits.

Even though [Soul Freeze] was a powerful attack, an ant could still only bite a sleeping dragon. Doing any damage beyond that was impossible. This was the current situation.

It was only a matter of time before Liam collapsed.

"No... this should not be happening. I divined terrible luck today. We should be winning this fight." The monk shivered.

Caden shook his head. "I told you already. It is not going to be easy to win this."

"Does that mean we are doomed? No! No! No! That's impossible!"

Caden did not answer. Instead, he silently looked at the draconian princess. "Come on. Come on." He muttered under his breath.

He did not know how or why but right now this was the only person who can help Liam. He had not lied to Liam about the last part.

He did not know where the monk had come from but this woman was most likely going to be Liam's strongest ally.

So right now, if anyone was going to help in this situation, then it was going to be her.

Caden gulped as he watched the woman with a pleading look on his face. He prayed for her to take action and do something.

She had to do something! That was the only way this was going to end in their favor!

However, the woman simply stood still without any intention of doing anything. Instead, she continued to watch Liam with rapt attention, observing his each and every move.

There was also a mysterious glint in her eyes and a pensive look on her face, making her look as if she was deeply engrossed in something.

This made Caden wonder what she was thinking about. What could be more important right now in the middle of this bloody battle?!

Thankfully, he did not have to drive himself crazy as the very next second, the woman unexpectedly opened her mouth.

"Why are you not using your dragon roar skill? Why are you still saving it, you idiot?" The draconian princess shouted.

"Huh?" Caden was confused. Liam had a skill like that he was saving?

What was going on?

And it looked like Liam was also equally confused as he stumbled slightly in his next attack, missing his target's vital point.
