Re: Evolution Online

The nine beast guardians suddenly paused their actions and every single one of them snapped to look at Liam.

Before this they did not really consider him as anything even though he was currently in possession of the world seed. After all, before their caliber of power and strength, what could a human like him possibly do?

He wouldn't even be able to survive for a minute under their assault, let alone flee with such an invaluable item. However, the moment the new party showed up in the battlefield everything changed.

An earth shattering growl reverberated through the air.

The nine guardian beasts stiffened up as an overwhelming aura descended upon the battlefield. This aura instinctively made them shiver and tremble even if it was for a second. All nine beasts felt fear. The monkey ended up kneeling down.

However Liam alone was not in the least affected by the aura. He immediately grabbed onto the snow white paw as a magnificently beautiful fox blinked out of the space right in front of everyone's reddened eyes.

Luna!

Liam couldn't help but smile despite everything that was going on. He purposefully did not bring the little fox over because he could be facing several threatening opponents. The exact same reason why he did not bring the guild members with him.

But it looked like the little fox had come here anyways and from the looks of it she was extremely angry.

Liam had never seen Luna this angry before. She looked as if she was ready to rip apart everyone to shreds. He could also sense a powerful aura seeping out of her.

It was almost as if she was close to a breakthrough. Perhaps the presence of all of these powerful beasts around her kindled something within the little fox.

But how could escaping from these formidable guardian beasts be possible? Even with Luna's arrival, the odds seemed insurmountable. In the blink of an eye the fox had already blinked away twice but the other beasts did not sit still.

As Luna blinked the third time, the different beasts activated their movement techniques and especially the wolf that was the fastest among them all arrived right in front of Luna to blast her away with a wind whip.

Liam immediately blocked the attack with a thick mana barrier but their momentum was essentially halted.

And they were still right on top of the ocean. Once again encircled by the frenzied guardian beasts.

Liam knew that he had no other choice. Thanks to the world seed, he managed to pull out one rabbit from the hat. Now he had to do it for the second time.

'Luna, prepare to blink in exactly 5 seconds.'

He mentally commanded the fox as he yet again rapidly charged his mana core, reaching for his soul to ignite the same rune. Dragon Breath!

The skies rumbled and the ocean roared as one more time lightning started to crackle and surge through Liam's body. The raw power of the Dragon Breath surged forward.

"NOW, Luna!" Liam shouted, his voice resolute and determined.

In perfect synchrony, Luna blinked out of existence just as Liam released the colossal blast of lightning. The electrifying torrent tore through the air, streaking towards the guardian beasts with unyielding force.

This set off a cascade of powerful lightning bolts to descend from the sky, enveloping the entire area in electricity. Though they had already faced this attack, the guardian beasts were unable to react in time.

The lightning bolts struck their massive forms, binding them in a searing chain of electrifying energy.

The thunderous roar of the lightning reverberated through the air, drowning out the growls of the guardian beasts. The electrified torrent coursed through their bodies, disorienting and staggering them as their fur stood on end.

And this time, they were too late. Before the beasts could recover from the attack, Luna had already managed to blink several times and when the beasts managed to catch up to them again, Liam was standing on dry ground.

More importantly, he was standing right on top of a nether node.

GROWL!

Luna roared with a renewed ferocity, her eyes gleaming with hatred. The aura surrounding her intensified, emanating an energy that sent shivers down the spines of the guardian beasts.

"Stand back." Liam commanded her as his body slowly rose into the air and not with the help of mana. Thick swirls of pitch black nether coiled around him, automatically propelling him upward.

Liam's eyes narrowed and a sneer formed on his lips. Want to snatch the world seed from his hands? It would not be that easy! He was already prepared to go all out!

With several pairs of crimson eyes staring violently at him, Liam calmly raised his hand to make his first move.

The next second, nine thick pillars of nether shot upward from the ground. The pillars of nether soared towards the guardian beasts with tremendous force, aiming to bind and immobilize them.

The dark energy crackled and sizzled as it wrapped around the colossal forms of the beasts, ensnaring them in its suffocating grip.

Shocked by the power of the attack, the guardian beasts struggled against the powerful hold, roaring and thrashing in a desperate attempt to break free.

But Liam's control over the nether was unyielding. As an endless stream of nether poured out of the node, the binds only tightened further, restricting their movements.

The rotten energy, one that's sole purpose was death and decay burned the thick hides of the beasts. Growling and writhing in pain, the guardian beasts each unleashed their attacks to free themselves from the grasp.

But Liam was not done yet. He was just beginning. He cracked his neck and gritted his teeth, as he sent in the second wave of the nether blast.

Even more nether erupted from the node, each pillar assaulting the guardian beasts becoming thicker and denser. The beasts became completely enshrouded in the nether, imprisoned against their will.
