The sudden explosion of two powerful auras in the distance brought an abrupt halt to Liam's words. His senses sharpened, and he instinctively turned his head toward the source of the disturbance. The next second, his lips curled into a smile.
"Everyone follow . It's ti to head back ho but before that I want you all to witness so battles. By now you know rely killing beings will not get you far with the levels. You have to gain an in-depth understanding of the world you are living in, and the path you are walking on. We'll see if these fights help you gain sothing valuable. Participate if you want but stay out of harm. Good luck."
He then turned to Lily who was still waiting for him. "Give so more ti. I promise I will get your brother back, no matter what world he is in." Lily nodded.
"Co." Giving her another glance, Liam dashed forward at a reasonable pace, sothing that everyone could keep up with. Within seconds, he was standing in front of two beasts.
It was two humongous elephant-like beasts but they had spikes covering their body and their trunk pulsed with power. The ground beneath their massive feet trembled with each shift of their weight.
Liam stood firmly in front of the two and raised his hand. The next second a blast of nether assaulted the beasts. The two elephants struggled to hold their ground but they had more to give. A wave of raw energy burst from the spiked elephants, their glowing trunks crackling with an intense aura. The force rippled outward like a tidal wave, shattering nearby trees and creating a powerful windstorm that sent debris flying.
The larger of the two beasts let out a deafening roar, its spikes glowing with a fiery red hue as it charged at Liam. Each step it took seed to shake the earth, its massive fra hurtling forward with unstoppable montum. The second elephant followed close behind, its trunk swirling with energy as it prepared to unleash a ranged attack.
Liam's smile deepened. "Perfect," he muttered, stepping forward to et their combined assault. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed another blast of nether energy, this ti more focused and precise. The dark energy spiraled through the air, colliding with the charging beast's trunk and forcing it to stumble. The creature roared in frustration but quickly regained its footing, the other elephant stepping beside it to stabilize their formation.
"They're working together," Liam observed aloud, his voice carrying to the guild mbers watching from a safe distance. "Notice how they synchronize their movents, compensating for each other's weaknesses. This is the kind of cooperation you'll need in the battlefield when your strength is not enough."
The guild mbers nodded, their gazes locked on the clash unfolding before them. The elephants roared again, this ti unleashing their combined power. A wave of energy swept through the battlefield, forcing Liam to leap backward to avoid being engulfed. He landed gracefully, his eyes gleaming with excitent.
"Not bad," he said, raising both hands. "But let's see how you handle this."
Nether energy surged around him and this ti it also had an icy component. With a swift motion, Liam slamd his hands together, sending out a shockwave of concentrated energy. The force collided with the elephants' combined attack, creating a massive explosion that lit up the forest like a second sun. The impact sent the beasts skidding backward, their spikes cracking under the strain.
Despite their injuries, the elephants roared in defiance, refusing to back down. He glanced over his shoulder at the guild mbers. "Rember this," he called out. "Even when facing overwhelming odds, creatures of this world will fight to their last breath. You must be ready to do the sa. If your life is on the line and there is no way out, we need to go down at least taking ten of them with us!" He roared as he charged forward.
As the elephants prepared for another charge, Liam decided it was ti to end the fight. Drawing upon his full strength, he summoned a vortex of nether energy, its dark tendrils twisting and crackling like a storm. The power radiating from him was enough to make the guild mbers step back in awe.
With a final, decisive strike, Liam unleashed the energy, targeting the larger elephant. The blast hit its mark, enveloping the beast in a storm of darkness. The creature let out one last, earth-shaking roar before collapsing, its massive fra crashing to the ground. The second one followed in no ti.
The ground trembled beneath the massive weight of the two fallen beasts, their lifeless forms sprawling across the battlefield. A thick silence fell over the forest, broken only by the faint crackle of residual energy dissipating into the air. Liam stood at the center of the devastation, his form still radiating the lingering power of the nether vortex. His gaze swept over the guild mbers who had witnessed the spectacle, their wide eyes reflecting a mix of astonishnt and determination.
"Let's move on to the next one."
He was about to sweep both the bodies into his spatial ring when a loud voice rang out.
"Stop. Have you already hunted down the Terrarians? How dare you?" A snobby voice sounded as two n dressed in gaudy clothes floated from the sky and landed in front of the guild.
"Who permitted you to hunt the beasts already marked by our Highness? Which backward clan are you from? Don't you know the etiquette?"
Liam sighed. He was in no mood to participate in all of this. He simply put away the two corpses and prepared to leave when suddenly one of the n appeared behind him and placed a knife on his neck.
Sure, he could end the guy's life whenever he wanted but Liam had steeled his resolve to not start anything in this trip and he had almost been successful. Just one more day and he would have left without any issues.
And now…
"What are you all looking at? I have your porter under my knife. Return the beasts or your weakling dies right here."
