Re: Evolution Online
chapter-716

While all the players in 'Evolution Online' started breaking their heads over the recent notification and preparing for this super special event, one person calmly took a few steps back.

The wyverns and the dragons were both domineering beasts that stood at the top of the food chain and the battle was raging wildly. Mana in the room was like a powerful hurricane threatening to tear everything apart.

Liam knew that he had to keep a distance here. This was not a fight he could participate in. Underestimating the enemy here would be a grave mistake.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look sideways as his gaze shifted to the other entity in the room, the woman shackled in chains.

She seemed not shaken up by any of this. It was as if she didn't care what the result of this battle might be. Instead, there was a small smile on her previous expressionless face.

Another red flag! Liam bitterly smiled as red flags went up all over the place. This was definitely not going to end well.

He found himself once again debating getting the hell out of here because now the wyverns bought him some time to really run away but at the same time, he couldn't just give up what was in front of him.

Seeing everything that was happening here, even he couldn't help but drool at the pile of treasure. There could potentially be legendary grade items or perhaps even higher grades in this room.

If anything were to be associated with such treasures at all, wouldn't it be dragons and wyverns and this mysterious locked prisoner?

And perhaps the treasure itself wouldn't be the most valuable thing in the hall. For him, there were other things that were far more valuable.

The sparks of the battle were also not spilling out of the room. Though the gates were open, there still seemed to be some sort of invisible barrier in between the spaces.

So where he stood he was at a safe distance. He still had time to wait patiently and gauge how everything played out.

Liam calmly assessed the situation. In front of him, all sorts of attacks were flying here and there. They were nothing complicated, simple beams and balls of fire and whatnot, but the intensity was enough to perhaps ruin an entire kingdom.

This was the first time Liam was witnessing the fully unleashed power of draconian beasts. These beasts were even more terrifying than the ones that had wreaked havoc on earth and finished their life once and for all.

What was more shocking to Liam was that the two sides seemed to be at a standstill. The dragons were insanely powerful, with their every move a death sentence but at the same time, the wyverns were also holding their ground steadily.

The fight in front of him transpired at an extremely rapid pace and he could only catch glimpses of an attack here and there, everything else merging together as a single destructive wave. But one thing was clear.

The wyverns were able to match the power of the dragons and the kid did not look pleased with it. From what Liam could tell, this was only possible if there was some sort of temporary buff on the wyverns or perhaps temporary debuff on the dragons.

Also, just going by appearance the dragons seemed younger. Maybe that was why their power hadn't matured yet. So even though they were up against a superior beast, the wyverns were holding on somehow.

However, this was only for a brief time. Barely only a minute had passed when the situation started changing. One of the wyverns was heavily injured.

In the end, the innate ability still triumphed as the first wyvern soon fell. The beast was blasted right out of the hall as it crashed right in front of Liam, letting out a loud groan, its life escaping its snout with the last breath.

Liam gulped. He looked at the battle which was still madly raging on and he looked at the million soul particles sparkling like diamonds from the corpse of the wyvern.

This was too juicy for him to simply let it go! Heck, he was sitting here and waiting just for a chance like this!

As terrifying sounds continued to rumble from within, no one was paying attention to the dead wyvern, not the kid, not the chained-up prisoner, and not the dragons or the other wyverns.

It was the perfect opportunity!

Liam took a deep breath and decided to take action. While everyone else was busily fighting each other, he hid behind a pillar and silently started pulling the soul fragments from the corpse.

He did not have the time to forge these fragments at the moment so he took an empty black bead and started storing the fragments inside.

This was definitely a gamble. But thankfully, the bead seemed to be capable of holding the wyvern's soul. Ideally, he wouldn't want to do this as the soul could get ruined in the process but he did not have any other option at the moment.

He would rather have a weakened wyvern than let this corpse go to waste and have no wyvern at all. "Please work." He mumbled and continued shoving the wyvern's soul into the black bead.

As far as he could tell it was progressing well but only when he took the soul back out of the bead and forged it, he could know for sure.

And while he was sneakily stealing one dead wyvern's soul, the battle reached another crescendo as three more wyverns simultaneously dropped dead. It looked like the dragons were slowly overpowering and dominating the battlefield.

Liam was shocked. He was almost done absorbing this soul but he couldn't possibly go and grab the three other souls because they were smack dab in the middle of the battleground. He would also have to enter the hall where all the action was taking place.
