"Wyvern No.2"

Liam named and tossed the newly forged one right into the battle.

Naturally, his soul was once again slightly injured from the forging though much less than what had happened the first time around but this was exactly what Liam wanted. Only when injured he could heal it.

And only when he healed it, he could feel the connection to his own soul the strongest.

Inhaling all the souls around him, Liam commanded what he needed and felt the intangible entity that was inside him, his own soul. It was like a miasma that eluded him and yet it spread across him, covering every inch of him.

Liam did not try to push it. He simply grabbed onto this faint feeling and absorbed the soul essence from the other souls and made this miasma stronger.

This was easier said than done. Last time he had done it intuitively because he was very heavily injured. One could even call it a fluke. And now he was trying to do it on purpose. So it was far more difficult and he did not know exactly how to.

But he had an idea. This was not his first day with the soulmancer class and he was not completely clueless. With the noose tightening around their necks, he was working all the harder to get to where he wanted to be.

Liam gripped hard the miasma he was holding onto, and he forcefully imagined it with the colour white, like a waning moon. He then imagined the other soul wisps to come and join this incomplete circle so that his soul became a full circle.

Or rather he held onto both of these parts and then rammed them together forcefully until they became whole. It was difficult to concretely imagine and execute it but he tried his best and on the twelfth try, he managed to do it a little. His injured soul became a little stronger.

There was no notification or anything to confirm this and all he had was a feeling but he kept on going. Without taking any break, he grabbed the next wyvern soul and once again began to forge it.

The other newly forged beast, Wyvern 2, was already slaughtering and contributing to experience points by now.

Notably, this one had the highest level so far, Level 51. It snorted arrogantly and dominated the fight, only to be matched by the three-headed wyvern. Even Luna, Crawford and Wyvern 1 couldn't come close to it.

Watching this scene, all the players currently handling the elite beasts gaped in shock. They had already seen the wyverns but what shocked them this time was entirely something else.

It was the speed with which Liam had forged this draconian soul. It was barely ten minutes! This person had actually made a wyvern undead out of thin air in ten mins?!!

And he did not look like he was stopping anytime soon.

After 'wyvern 2' there was 'wyvern 3' and soon Liam was already in the third wyvern soul. One after the other, he carefully siphoned out the souls from the black bead and forged them to perfection.

With every wyvern soul he forged, he was getting better at his real goal which was to concretely sense his soul, make it stronger and tap into its power.

But the real test still awaited. Would he be able to make his soul strong enough to forge the dragons?

In this way, almost an entire hour passed and all the remaining wyvern souls were successfully forged. Other than the three-headed wyvern which now took it upon himself to act as the commander of the group, there were wyverns 1 through 9.

The group majestically stood amidst the beast horde as they formed a separate unit that slaughtered their way through the charging beasts.

Roar! Their collective aura even made the elites tremble and shake. The ten wyverns were a force to reckon with. Their attacks killed dozens of beasts at the same time and the mana in the air was sucked dry.

They single-handedly rained terror on the beast horde. They circled in the air and torched everything below them. All the guild members standing beside them gulped in fear. Just how strong was their big boss?

Even the players further away, those in the three main cities could spot these terror-inducing creatures from the distance, especially the ones standing on the border walls.

Everyone trembled in fear as they wondered if a wave of dragons was next going to assault the cities as a part of the beast horde.

Already the death tally was sky-high and if a wave of dragons assaulted, everyone would be utterly decimated. Little did they know that these beasts actually belonged to a player.

And as for that concerned player, Liam was racking passive experience points by thousands every second. The number of kills pulled in by the wyvern unit combined with the exp boosting potion he had consumed, his level was shooting up through the roof.

He already touched Level 70 and now he was close to reaching Level 75!

On top of this, Luna did not want to be outdone and tried her best to cause an equivalent amount of damage. A single fox tried to match an entire unit of wyverns and she wasn't lagging too far behind.

Her first tail which was only occasionally glowing bright red was now continuously glowing brightly as if she had completely assimilated one of the three flame fragments she had swallowed. If she assimilated all three flames just how much more powerful would she become?

Liam panted as he observed everything around him. That's right. They were all growing stronger together. It was only a matter of time. He sucked in a big breath of air, once again used the souls swirling around him to strengthen himself and attempted to break the shackles again.

RATTLE! RATTLE!

His mana core surged and the shackles trembled. Every single time he increased his soul strength, he also tried breaking these and he could feel it. He was close.

More importantly, the key to achieving everything that he wanted was right in his grasp.

All he needed to do now was build his soul strength and he would become strong enough to awaken his mana core and face the enemy. He could grow step by step and become an existence that can change everything.

And it all started with the dragon souls.

Liam had two dragon souls in his possession. Yes, these two dragons could potentially become powerful allies for his soul army but more than that, these two would be the true test of his soul.

He had to strengthen his soul and become strong enough to withstand the dragon souls and forge them. In the process even if he was hurt, he would only become stronger from that, which was his true goal.
