Re: Evolution Online-Novel

Yuze Hao stared at Liam for a second and then quickly nodded his head like a woodpecker. He had not expected the leader of the world-famous guild to accept him just like that. 

Though he had already calculated that this would happen, it was still weird for him to see his calculations come to fruition so perfectly.

"Thank you, Sir." He hurriedly thanked Liam without any hesitation.

Liam as well nodded with a light laugh and patted him. "I am currently busy, so you should not wait for me. The area between here and the crimson abyss guild base is mostly cleared."

"There shouldn't be any mutant beasts or elites roaming around in your path. Take your group and leave. Are you capable of doing that?"

"Yes, Sir." Yuze Hao hurriedly nodded.

"Ok, you may leave." Liam smiled. 

Normally, he would have asked him to wait, but he was tempted to test this amusing guy in front of him. If he really was who he claimed to be, then he should be able to do this much without any issues.

Yuze Hao once again nodded like a woodpecker and hurriedly stood up to leave. He did not want to disturb Liam any more than he already did.

However, after taking a few paces, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Everything had gone so smoothly, and he had achieved what he wanted so easily that he became a little bit afraid.

This was because the only thing that could have prompted Liam to do such a thing was the information about the vampires, and as for that intel…

"Sir Liam, one more thing. Please take my words with a grain of salt. Especially about the vampire lord. I… I haven't met one in person. So…"

Liam laughed, and Luna grinned at that statement. "You don't have to worry about that. You are, in fact, astonishingly correct about the vampire lords."

"Huh?" Yuze Hao was shocked. How could Liam possibly know this? This meant that…

"Yes, we already paid them a visit earlier today and confirmed everything that you just said." Liam shook his head helplessly.

Ah… Yuze Hao now realized why there weren't that many questions for him. This person had already killed the vampire lord, just like the one before. That's why he was very calm and casual.

However, Liam unexpectedly once again laughed as he flopped back onto the ground, lying on his back and staring at the sky. "No, I didn't win. I lost. But that is for me to correct. You should continue and go along with your plan. I will see you back in the base when I return."

Yuze Hao nodded. Unfortunately, it looked like his warning had come a little bit late. He glanced at Liam one more time and resolved to make up for this blunder in the future. 

He then left immediately as he did not want any of his people to stay in the damned military base even a second longer.

Liam then summoned his army of soul minions to come out and patrol the area, taking care of any wandering mutant beasts or vampires in their radius of limit.

He, on the other hand, took the rest of the time off and went over the battle with the vampire lord and the spider again in his mind. He kept repeating the same thing over and over, and eventually, the timer ran out.

Liam then stood up and walked to the first dungeon. It was time to start the second half of his plan. He called back his soul minions that were wandering in different parts of the neighboring town and city and then began his work.

With the full force of his soul minion army, he started the assault of the new and upgraded dungeon. Just like before, the floors of the dungeon were increasingly difficult as Liam barged his way onto one floor after another.

However, after the first two levels, he did not proceed anymore. He stopped and stayed back on the second floor of the updated dungeon, but this time, he took out the stone tablet.

The inconspicuous stone tablet whirred into action as it started readily absorbing the surplus mana from the dungeon.

Liam had been doubtful if it would work just the same as back in the game, but the treasured tablet did not disappoint him. Dense streams of mana started pouring in from all sides.

Liam sat down on the ground, waiting for the process to finish, and Luna snarled quietly as she observed the stone tablet in amazement.

The couple of hours slowly turned into half a day, and eventually, the walls of the dungeon started shaking. Even small rocks started falling down.

Before long, the entire place trembled as if it was undergoing a massive earthquake, and an hour later, the dungeon completely disappeared.

"Now we start the counterattack." Liam stood up and calmly picked up the dungeon crystal that had fallen down in front of him. He looked around, and there was only wilderness everywhere. The green portal that had been here before was now nowhere to be seen.

"Let's go, Luna." He hopped onto the white fox, and the duo then started heading to their next destination. Surprisingly, this time they were not headed to the next dungeon. Instead, they made a beeline straight for the magic shop.

The place that was still hidden deep within the crevices of nature now looked more desolate and lonely than ever. With Liam having taken care of most of the vampires in the area, there wasn't even a single fly going in or out of the shop.

And when Liam finally entered, all the fairies immediately stood up with expectation, only to have their faces drooping when they saw who it was.
