Chapter 1173 I need more

The leader narrowed his eyes, his grip tightening on the hilt of his sword. "Do not jest with matters of utmost importance, human. Your flippant attitude will not save you."

Liam still did not seem to care. The leader's face darkened. Anger bubbled inside him as he saw the human being's behavior.

"If you do not want to talk to me when you are alive, then you can talk to me after you are dead!" The leader shouted in anger as he unsheathed his sword and jumped from his tiger.

"You read my mind." Liam cracked his neck. Staying in the same position and meditating had made his body very stiff. Besides, it was time he started forging souls again.

The next instant a cold storm picked up as the leader angrily slammed down on the ground and swung his broadsword sending out a chilling cold wind that sliced the trees standing in its path.

However, Liam did not even move as he completely ignored the attack, facing it head-on. He even seemed as if he was trying to savor the attack and absorb it.

This shocked the elven leader visibly. He was about to make the next move when Liam raised his sword. "Normally I try not to be excessive but unfortunately I need more at the moment."

"What do you mean?" At this time, the elven leader felt a powerful aura surge from the human being in front of him.

"I need you all to die."

Liam sent out a freezing cold sword beam as soon as he finished speaking. The elf's mouth gaped wide open as the powerful wave of sword beam descended on him.

The sword beam cleaved him into two halves without giving him any chance to retaliate.

The landscape was suddenly stark, the icy wind howling through the emptiness that was left behind.

Liam stood amidst the aftermath, his sword still glowing with the residual energy of his devastating attack.

He sheathed his sword and closed his eyes for a moment, allowing the collected ice elemental essence to settle back into his dao seed.

The time he had spent training in silence was definitely worth it. It had improved his power exponentially and he was closer to using his dao seed efficiently. This chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The rest of the ice elves stared at Liam in shock. With their leader dead so suddenly, they did not know what to do. They couldn't fathom the enemy in front of them.

They also did not have the time to. Liam's figure flashed as he finished every single one of the elves. He used the same attack again and again, manipulating his dao seed when he did.

Using the power of the dao seed to finish off these opponents was akin to using a cannon to kill mosquitoes but he did not care. He wanted to train more and more.

He was on the verge of a breakthrough. He was sure of it. He wanted to bulldoze it down and see what was on the other side.

Liam completely finished off all the elves and then summoned his minions to collect the loot. He then did not bother going through the loot as he hurriedly started forging the elven souls he had gathered.

The efficiency was bad but it couldn't be helped. He wanted to learn more ice elemental skills and push himself.

He quickly retrieved all the souls of the ice elves he had gathered so far and then started forging one after the other. At the same time, he also continued moving forward, heading deeper into the forbidden territory.

He was now far away from the original path which Eldrin had advised him to take. In order to return to the path, he needed to move right. Liam moved diagonally on the right side to make up for lost time.

He unleashed the soul blood beasts to guard him as he was forging the ice elf souls. The forging process was painful. He was losing souls left and right.

After seeing that his efficiency hadn't improved, he saved the leader's soul, the princess's soul, and the two elders' souls for forging at a later time. He only focussed on the souls of the foot soldiers for the time being.

In reality, these ice elves were all powerful and above level 500. Even though they were foot soldiers their skill level was nothing to scoff at.

After a few hours, Liam managed to secure ten ice elves, their levels around 450. These powerful minions replaced the weaker ones he had sacrificed to the Soul Swap skill.

More importantly, he was able to go through the memories and glean knowledge from these ten ice elves and also from some of the failures which was an added bonus.

Liam sat atop a soul blood beast as he calmly processed all the information that he had just gained. It was a surreal feeling to go through one's memories, especially another being who was from a different world.

Liam saw vast icy lands, intricate elven architecture carved from ice and crystal, and the deeply ingrained customs and rituals of the ice elves. Memories of battles, diplomacy, and various ice elemental techniques unfurled in his mind like a film reel.

Liam revisited these memories again and again and learned the skills one after the other from their experience.

[Howling Winds]

[Icicle Rain]

[Ice Prison]

[Song of Ice]

[Dance of Ice]

…

…

…

Liam learned every skill that he possibly could, no matter how small they were. He repeatedly practiced the skills again and again and achieved as much mastery as he possibly could.

What was that on the other side of the door?

He wanted to know.

He wanted to feel that power coursing through his hands.

Would that finally be enough to return home and face the enemy that was waiting for him?

Snapping him out of his thoughts, suddenly the ground under him shifted.

Liam immediately jumped off the soul blood beast and flew in the air but it was of no use. It was as if the entire space he was in was distorted.
