Chapter 862 Rule Or Exception?

While the actual battle had gone down, Tilia did not bother to spectate it or even take a look at the highlights, completely ignoring the entire thing. After all, unlike Liam, she knew very well the level difference between the two sides.

The strongest member of the 'Messengers of God' guild was only at Level 20, while Liam was at Level 80. Just because of this single difference, the result of this battle was already decided. 

This was because when a being usually crossed the threshold of Level 50, they were stepping onto the next rank or the next tier. They typically formed a mana core that acted as a conduit of energy, multiplying the quantity and quality of all the attacks.

This was not an advantage a simple difference in numbers could make up for. This was why Tilia did not care about the actual manner in which the battle went down. 

Besides, she already knew that Liam was a necromancer. She had seen many necromancer battles and witnessed even some of the stronger ones that were capable of shaking an entire realm.

When compared to all those higher beings' battle records, this record was nothing in front of her eyes. So she was completely focused on managing the battlefield and balancing the energy consumption of all the teleportation runes.

That was… until the ridiculous big red numbers that had popped up in front of her.

Tilia had panicked and immediately ran towards Liam, who appeared from the battle portal. However, the irritating human being did not give her any answers. 

She also couldn't understand how a mere human being could have consumed such a huge amount of souls. Or perhaps something else went wrong with the battlefield set-up?

Faced with a lot of questions, the fairy wanted to bang her head against the wall in frustration. Nothing was going right for her these days. She really wanted this to work out and had a huge plan riding on the back of this battlefield, but in the end, everything had flopped.

In a fit of rage, Tilia had opened up the battle records to finally take a look at what exactly went down and how everything had gone wrong for her. However, when she saw the record of the battle from start to finish, she was completely speechless.

Tilia gulped, still sitting inside the manager's room, not daring to move from her place. She even watched the same battle record several times over, but how could that change? 

It was the same thing over and over again.

The human being whom she hadn't bothered to place in her eyes actually had the ability to conjure soul summons! Moreover, he was even able to control so many of them!

Just how high was his soul strength? How could a being possess such tremendous soul strength without even crossing Level 100?

Tilia had no idea what the hell was going on. Only one thing was clear to her. This particular lower-realm human being was by no means an ordinary one. 

In the past, when she was small, she had heard stories about strong transcendent beings that had arisen from humble beginnings. Tilia never believed in these fairy tales.

When a person was born in a lower realm, their fate was already sealed. This was the common norm. However, now… was she personally witnessing one such rare exception?

Her heart nervously palpitated as she imagined such a future. However, a couple of seconds later, she snapped out of it.

"No. No. Something like that is still impossible." Tilia rubbed her brows with her hand and shook her head. Just being capable of dealing with soul energy was not merely enough to cross this hurdle.

Most of the lower realms inevitably fell. This was simply how it was. Just one person couldn't possibly become strong enough to change that!

How could there be an exception to this rule?

But… if that person was even stronger than the calamities?

Haaaa…. Tilia sighed in exasperation. She found herself unable to wrap her mind around this situation. She couldn't decide one way or the other.

While her logic dictated that the inevitable was indeed inevitable, her instincts told her a different thing.

In the midst of this, there was also the big blinking red sitting on her system interface. She was frustrated about this before, but now this was the farthest thing on her mind.

This was because if, indeed, this human being turned out to be a transcendental being, then the entire game was going to change. Even if she could remotely associate herself with this being, then all her troubles would cease to exist!

But considering how she had treated him in the recent past, was something like this still possible? Tilia bit her lips, feeling that she had been too hasty and committed a grave mistake.

Was there any way she could repair this? 

The fairy quietly pondered her next moves when the devil himself suddenly showed up on her doorstep.

Tilia gulped and headed out to receive him. She still had no idea how he managed to absorb the souls from the battlefield, as she had not seen any such skills being executed. 

Soul techniques were always mysterious and unique. She couldn't possibly decipher everything with the experience she had. 

However, that did not matter right now. She had no choice but to suck up to him as she had never sucked up before.

"H… Hello, Mr Liam." She stepped out and greeted the human being with a flushed face and an embarrassingly big smile that made her want to die inside.

"Huh?" Liam was surprised. Wasn't this fairy all heated up and wanting to smash his head just a couple of hours ago? And now, she was once again back to her old flirtatious self?

Things were not adding up.

If he wasn't sure before that she was able to view the events on the battlefield, he was now fully sure of it. This fairy had definitely seen everything, perhaps even his stone tablet!
