From the distance Liam watched the group of people take off.
Beside him, there was Hiriyu, his personal unit, and the few people he had given body cleansing elixirs, among whom most of them were his followers at the moment.
"We are going to let them leave, leader?" Hiriyu asked, his voice almost growling at the sight of humans.
Liam chuckled in response. "Yes, we are."
He knew that he could attack them right now as they would be extremely vulnerable. He could perhaps even erase that whole group out of existence, but he did not intend to do so.
If he had then this meeting would have never taken place. Perhaps the smallest inkling of such a thought in his mind would have sent the other person running for the hills.
Liam still did not know how the skill of his opponent worked. For that matter, he also did not know if this meeting was actually going to yield something. Everything was out of his hands.
All he could do was make sure that he was not in any danger when meeting this person who had been in the shadows up until now.
As for the results… it was up to that person to decide if he wanted to make the trade with Liam or not.
A few minutes later, this group as well packed up their things and returned back to Thol city. When they arrived there, the entire place was busily celebrating.
Their city lord had achieved something which no other garrison had managed to achieve in years. The whole city reveled in joyous celebrations.
Apart from this, tributes from the neighboring cities and other garrison leaders were pouring in steadily. Everyone wanted to flatter Liam and get on his good side.
Gold coins, herbs, ores, and other sparkling things filled the big hall of the garrison. A grand feast was prepared for the city lord and several demon women flocked around him to please him.
Seeing all of this, Liam was completely speechless. Too bad he simply did not have the time to enjoy any of it. He was already running late and he needed to return back to the main world.
He ate a portion of the feast in a hurry, shoved some of the gold coins and almost all of the herbs and ores into his inventory slot, and then prepared to leave.
"Luna?" He called out to the sleeping fox while walking towards her. The little creature was still peacefully sleeping without any signs of waking up. Just how much longer was she going to be in this state?
Looking at her, Liam suddenly had a thought. He had leveled up and was now ready to return back to the elves.
This was what he had come here for, but… since he was here, wouldn't it be acceptable to test out… just one dungeon? Just one perhaps?
After all, the dungeon he had destroyed was in another world entirely. Events in this world couldn't possibly affect the events in that world and he also wouldn't be implicated.
With the abyss and the other stronger demons, there were several suspects here. No one should be able to track it to him? At least right away?
Liam thought about it for a moment and then decided to take this small risk. It was worth it for finding out more about the treasure.
Moreover, he also obtained the stone tablet in the nether realm. So there could be more clues here.
After mulling over it for a few more minutes, he called for Yessika and the others, basically the same team he had just taken out for the rendezvous.
"Do you know of any high-level dungeons in this training area?" Liam asked the group. Glancing at the injured fox in his hand and he then added, "Preferably something that has to do with fire?"
"Fire? There is the burning valley dungeon." Yessika was the first to suggest. "My Lord, this is a training area that we normally use when we are close to Level 100. Will this work?"
"Ok, let's go there." Liam nodded.
The place wasn't too far away from Thol city and since they knew where to look for it, they quickly arrived at the dungeon spot.
Immediately a tall and swirling portal stood out amidst the neighboring trees and land. The portal was majestic and gave off a dangerous aura, unlike the smaller ones.
Liam couldn't help but look around. There were eight Level 100 plus demons with him, so technically this should work out?
Besides, this was also the nether realm so he did not think much and daringly stepped in. However, almost instantly he was thrown out.
"My Lord!" All the demons ran towards him in shock.
"I am fine. I am fine." Liam chuckled. In front of him was a new notification.
<Ding. You are currently unable to enter the dungeon>
This was the first time Liam was hearing about something like this. He knew that there was a maximum level requirement for a dungeon but only now he was seeing a minimum level requirement.
However, he was not ready to give up just yet. He didn't care too much for the free experience points or the carry these guys could offer. What he was after was… the essence of the dungeon.
So Liam quickly stood up and cleared his throat, "I am fine. I am fine. You guys should go ahead without me. Complete the dungeon and then one of you can step out."
The demons nodded and hurriedly followed his orders. At the same time, Liam also quickly created a party and added all of them to this group.
He had never tried this before but he knew that NPCs could be included in the groups so he was hoping that this would work.
After everyone went inside, a few minutes later, the dungeon suddenly started glowing brightly. It was glowing for a few seconds before returning back to its normal state.
The next instant, a demon quickly scurried out. "My Lord, we have finished the task."
"Oh? So soon?" Liam gave the demon a smile.
Of course, he also noticed that he did not receive any experience points for the group's dungeon run, but he wasn't concerned about it as this was something he had already expected.
The real question was what happened now?
The dungeon was technically cleared and not yet reset. So would he be able to enter the dungeon at least now? Or would he be kicked out again?
Liam took a deep breath and then stepped into the portal.
