Chapter 1190 Everything was falling apart

Liam staggered, feeling the weight of his exhaustion, but a smile spread on his lips as he received the notification that gave him the unmistakable victory.

[Ding! You have gained 1 million experience points]

It was over.

In all honesty, he had experienced more considering the strength of the opponent but he did not care it was over.

Liam hurriedly grabbed the blood elf's soul and stored it. He also placed his body and the axe into his spatial ring. While the soul and the corpse were extremely valuable as the opponent had been exceedingly strong, Liam had a feeling that the most important haul in the entire trip was perhaps this axe. He could feel the weapon's palpable power even though its owner had already perished.

Liam then looked around to check out the current situation. However, all he saw was an icy hell. Everything around him was frozen. The aftermath of the fight seemed as if a winter storm had passed through, leaving a chilling silence in its wake. The trees, once verdant, were now encased in thick layers of ice, their branches hanging heavy. The ground was covered in a blanket of frost, sparkling under the faint light filtering through the frozen canopy.

The bodies of the fallen elves, scattered across the battlefield, were frozen in their final moments.

However, all of this lasted only for a moment. The greenery once again drowned out the battle disturbance, the place returning to a peaceful state as if nothing had happened here.

Liam's gaze then fell upon the world tree, standing tall and unscathed. He did not expect a battle of this proportion to have any effect on it. In fact, he couldn't comprehend what sort of a battle might affect an ancient towering monster like this.

In the distance, the soul blood beasts were still battling the blood elf army. The sounds indicated that either side might be winning. Liam could even sense that some of his beasts had perished.

However, he did not care about that at this moment. He saw the glow surrounding the world tree beginning to become brighter and brighter. He felt a pull towards that enormous being as if it was calling for him.

Of course, there was one other person left.

Liam turned to glance at Eldrin fleetingly but the elf only responded with a bitter smile. Sure he loved to hatch cunning plans but right at this moment, he was in no condition to contend with Liam for this opportunity.

"The blessing is all yours, you disgustingly powerful bastard. You did it." The elf gave a rueful smile, along with a silent thumbs up. "You did it. No one is standing in your way. Go become even more stronger." He collapsed onto the ground.

Liam looked indifferently at the elf. He then took a step forward towards the world tree, entering the area that was glowing. Almost immediately his mana reserves recovered and surprisingly his stamina also recovered.

A wave of healing energy washed over him, soothing his aches and revitalizing his fatigued body. The warmth was comforting, like basking in the morning sun after a long, cold night. Liam felt his muscles relax and his mind clear, the weariness of the trials and the battle fading away.

Liam took a deep breath and took one more step forward to fully enter the barrier and connect with the world tree of this world but all of sudden, he felt his body yanked backward.

"STOP RIGHT THERE, you filthy human being!" A voice shouted at the top of his lungs. Both Liam and Eldrin snapped to look at the unexpected intrusion when abruptly Liam froze in place.

Eldrin stared at Liam and then at the newly arrived elven army who were standing tall and proud in front of them. His expression turned grave.

"FUCK!" He loudly swore. Bad luck! No. The worst luck!

Seeing the army that had donned the familiar elven tabard, Eldrin was about to completely lose it. The zealots!

How could they have such bad luck? Defying all the odds, Liam had somehow survived until this point and even managed to partially enter the world tree's barrier but at the last minute a new opponent was here. This was unfair!

Eldrin shot a death glare at the world tree as if he expected it to personally rectify this situation. He whipped his head in a hurry to turn and observe Liam seeing if he needed any assistance to weather this storm.

He had bet on the right horse and he did not plan on losing now. These weird cultists might need some special method to deal with them. They had powerful resources and treasures and could not be underestimated.

However, when he turned to Liam he was even more shocked and confused. Instead of preparing to attack, the human being was staring dumbly at the sight in front of him as if he had completely lost it.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Everything was falling apart!

"Liam! Focus! I will help you. We can defeat them!" Eldrin shouted, immediately taking out a bunch of pills and chewing on them like a cow grinding the fodder. He hastily tried to recover before the situation worsened.

But alas, the luck was simply not in their favor.

Right in front of Eldrin's eyes, a huge beast emerged from the army.

"All hail the queen!"

"All hail the queen!"

The cultists started chanting loudly. The effect of the whole army repeating the same words, that too with some sort of vocal enhancement made the scene so much more eerie.

Eldrin was gobsmacked. These weirdos have a new queen? How come? He had never heard of anything like this before?

Just as his tired brain was scrambling to understand the situation, the fog cleared and the figure revealed itself. It was a magnificent beast. It was a majestic and terrifying creature, the likes of which Eldrin had never seen before.

Towering and draped in an aura of raw, unbridled power, it seemed to command the very air around it. Its eyes, glowing with fierce intelligence, fixed upon Liam and only Liam.
