Re: Evolution Online

Chapter 768 BOOM!

Liam gaped at the magnificent creatures standing in front of him, not in their flesh and blood but in their soul form. This was it. He was done. He had actually managed to forge two dragons.

Their levels were on the lower side, and there was some soul diffusion during the forging process, so he had let some of their soul slip through the cracks, but in the end, it was done. 

The proof was in front of him. He had withstood everything that these two threw at him and forged them as best as he could.

Liam tiredly panted and heaved as he continued to gaze at the two creatures in stupefaction. He then shook his head and snapped out of it. Unfortunately, he did not have the time to admire them right at this moment. 

Two hours had gone by in the blink of an eye! Now there was only one more hour left!

And there was still so much for him left to do…

He took a deep breath and started the next part quickly, the part where he healed his currently damaged soul. In the last couple of hours, he had not only forged these two dragon souls, but he had also forged himself in the process.

His soul was now essentially much stronger. He could just feel it.

"I can do it. I can break it this time." Liam's gaze filled with resolve as he hurriedly tried to heal himself back to his most optimal condition. 

Forging the two dragon souls went by well, but right here, this was the most important step. He needed to do it this time. He needed to break the shackles. No matter what.

With just one hour left, Liam hurriedly inhaled the souls around him like a maniac. 

After dealing with the dragon's souls, the weak villagers' souls and the slightly stronger lizardmen's souls were simply a nourishment to his injury. They no longer affected him. This in itself proved that he had become stronger.

Liam grunted as he felt his soul heal rapidly after the hour and a half of intense forging. He as well urged it as best as he could, and in the next few minutes, he was once again back to his former self. 

He then took a sip out of the Milky Way pond canister to adjust his mental fatigue and shoved some food into his mouth just for the sake of it and was finally ready to attempt the awakening again.

Liam closed his eyes and felt the abundantly rich mana all around him. He steadied his mind and his breathing and started reaching down to his mana core.

Almost immediately, he gasped in surprise as he flashed open his eyes. Even though he tried to stay calm, he couldn't do it. His mana core this time felt completely different from before. It was unfathomably deep and profound. More so than he had ever felt it before.

He had undergone brutal hellish training with the old elf but forging these two dragon souls completely topped all that training. The change he noticed now couldn't be compared even with the results of that hellish training.

"Does this mean I am close?" Liam couldn't help but feel excited. After all, this was a matter of life and death and not just his own. 

He once again took a deep breath and dove in again. He knew it. He was going to do it this time. He was going to blast away those chains and awaken his mana core! 

As the condescending domineering face of the high priestess appeared in front of him, Liam grunted again and reached back down to his mana core.

"BREAK!" He shouted out loud, completely engrossed in his own world and scaring silly the fox sitting next to him who was also training very hard.

Luna blinked her clear blue eyes and stared at Liam intently. She could also feel that her Master was extremely excited at this moment, as if he was on the cusp of achieving something extraordinary.

As the two dragons and the fox continued to stare unblinkingly at Liam, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly for the fifth time.

"BREAK!"

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

This time shockingly, the mana in the stone tablet world started churning wildly. The mana reserves that had not been affected in the least while Liam forged the two remarkable dragon souls now unexpectedly showed signs of dwindling!

Luna immediately became worried. Will her Master have enough mana? She could sense that he should not be interrupted at the moment. He was in the middle of a breakthrough, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do about it.

The mana around them continued dropping at an alarming pace, and she was completely helpless. She snarled silently in anger as she got back into the fire essence puddle and focussed on her own training. Useless! She was too useless!

Unbeknownst to her and Liam, surprisingly, the dragon soul minions also had similar expressions at the moment. They did not seem quite as unemotional and unattached as the rest of the soul undead. It was almost as if they were not dead.

However, even more shocking than this was the behaviour of the stone tablet at the moment. As the mana inside the space started dwindling, the stone tablet started churning the essence of the dungeon even more wildly.

Normally, a Level 80 dungeon should have lasted for 2 entire days if compared to the behaviour of the stone tablet previously, but now with the way things proceeded, the essence of the dungeon seemed as if it was going to be depleted any second now.

The golden knight who was observing all of this without blinking dropped his jaw on the floor. Just what the hell was happening inside that space? He clenched his fists anxiously and stared at the mirror.

Was something huge going to happen? His heart pounded loudly as he waited and watched for things to be revealed. Unfortunately, that was all he could do at the moment. That and pray that nothing unforeseen happened.

If something did happen… the priestess… she would not be happy.

But the next second, BOOM!

A loud explosion rang out as the dungeon that previously existed was no longer there. "NOOO!" The golden knight shouted as he jolted to stand up in shock. What just happened? Did that human being manage to break through?

He peered through the mirror with his face so close to it as if he simply wanted to dive into the mirror himself. And it looked like he did not have to wait any longer!

When the dust and smoke cleared, the person that was hidden from his vision all this time finally revealed himself. Liam sat there, his head drooping low and his hands bleeding.
