For a second, the golden knight looked stunned as he looked at the two undead dragon soul minions, but then his lips curved into a sneer as his attention landed on the human being.
His gaze dragged on Liam from top to bottom to confirm what he felt, and this sneer widened. "Paha! Of course! A lower-realm trash will be a lower-realm trash! I am just thinking too much. Ha Ha Ha!"
"Ok. There is no point sitting here and watching this human any longer. There is only less than an hour left. What could he possibly do with that time? Make more soul minions? Pa ha ha ha! The priestess was correct. He is just a fool who is in over his head."
"On the other hand, I have a lot that needs to be done before everything closes down." With a sigh, he stood up and left the hall.
Before leaving, he turned to glance at the mirror one last time, only to find Liam still sitting like a statue, a broken and desperate one at that. "He is completely done for." He laughed loudly and continued walking.
Meanwhile… the person he was watching indeed looked listless at the moment.
Liam's eyes betrayed his disappointment as he kept banging his fist against the cold hard ground with his bleeding fists. He had failed. He had actually failed!
Even with all of the efforts he had made, he failed again. No, he could not accept this. He would not accept this. He stopped punching the ground and tried again. He kept trying again and again and again, only to fail every single time!
"Damn it!" Liam shouted loudly like a maniac, his agonized yell breaking the silence of the rocky forest around him. He had gambled all the time he had into forging these two dragon souls, and yet he had failed.
He neither accomplished anything in his legacy nor broke the shackles which stood in the way of his awakening. He had failed completely and utterly in every single thing. He had tried so hard, and yet the result was a big fat zero.
If this was not enough, then what else was he supposed to do? Was this impossible for him after all? No, that was not acceptable.
Instead of punching the ground beneath him, he punched himself in the face the next second. "Calm down. Damn it. Calm down. Think."
That's right. It was still not time for him to give up and accept whatever happened. Until he had the last second inside the game, he was going to try and keep on trying. That was all that he could do now.
Liam stood up and steadied his turbulent heart and mind to the best that he could. He was on the right path. He was sure of it.
The last time he tried, he was definitely closer to breaking those goddamn chains. He just needed more soul strength. He just needed to become a little bit stronger. He was there. Almost there.
But now the problem was he no longer had any wyvern or dragon souls in his possession to further train his soul. What was he supposed to use now?
"Damn it all." He shouted in exasperation. It was fine. So what if he did not possess any more draconian souls? This mountain range was full of high-level beasts! They might not be wyverns or dragons, but they had to suffice!
He was going to hunt down and massacre every single one of these terrifying elites and use them as stepping stones to climb up to the top. He had come too far now to lose everything.
Ordering his soul army to follow him, Liam sped along the mountains on Luna's back, searching for the uncrowned kings of this territory. The fox blurred in and out crazily, and within a few seconds, the first sacrifice promptly showed up in front of them.
It was a six-winged lion, an adult, fully grown six-winged lion and a Level 95 beast at that.
Normally, a beast of this level and stature would stand tall and proud and stare down at its enemies with arrogance in its eyes, but this one suddenly started trembling as it gazed upon the army that descended in front of it.
Naturally, it did not care about Liam, who was a mere human being. Rather its gaze locked onto the terrifying creatures who landed right next to him. An army of wyverns? Just what were these big shots doing on its territory?
And before the six-winged lion could even blink, a multitude of attacks landed on it like meteorites. All the wyverns opened their mouths and rolled out their attacks one after the other.
The 2 million health points of the six-winged lion looked like a joke in front of these monsters. However, it was not enough to completely erase its existence. It was still alive.
I better get the fuck out of here. The six-winged lion did not have any intentions of fighting back. It just simply wanted to get out of there and run for its life.
It was confident in its speed and knew that it could buy time by summoning a golden shield. But just as it was about to turn tail and flap away at lightning speed, another two giant attacks landed on it.
The six-winged lion gaped in shock as its eyes finally landed on the perpetrators of this attack, the two smaller draconian beasts who landed at the forefront of the soul army.
Dragons? Its mind reeled as it took its last breath and collapsed. The poor lion did not even get a chance to fight back as it was completely overwhelmed by beasts beyond its imagination.
And to its dismay, it did not find peace even after death. It had only barely closed its bulged eyes when Liam stepped in front of it. He grabbed the beast's soul in its entirety and started hammering it with giant mana hammers.
Even if he was not able to break his shackles, the mana he was able to wield now was on a completely different level. With everything in his grasp, he banged onto the soul that shivered and quivered under the full impact of the mana hammers.
The soul was forged in a minute!
