Re: Evolution Online

Hmmm? Liam's frown deepened.

Clearly, the kid couldn't see this woman at all. His eyes were only fixated on the treasure and nothing else. He even scanned the hall from end to end more than once, but he still did not notice the woman.

Was this the prisoner the wyvern talked about?

Liam tested the water by trying to enter the hall one more time, but again, as soon as he took one step inside, he could feel the stifling pressure coming from the chained being.

This pressure was something far greater than that of the old elf. It was as if an ancient evil aura was seeping out of the woman, something very powerful and vile.

Just staring at her made his skin tingle with warning signs. He knew this was not going to end well. Both the kid and he might be in grave danger.

But this powerful being was inside a prison, so maybe they were safe?

The next second this thought crossed his mind, the kid once again retrieved a key. It looked like it was the same key, and he walked directly over to the next set of gates.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. This idiot." Liam started panicking.

On the one hand, he wanted to stay here and watch what happened next, but on the other hand, he was really wary of this woman who was chained up. So he was debating between running away and staying here.

Also, there was another set of runes here, engraved on the grilled gate. Maybe the kid wouldn't be able to figure this one out? That seemed to be a valid possibility.

But to Liam's dismay, the kid clicked his tongue loudly and took another step forward. The bastard had figured out the damn rune in less than a minute, giving him no time to make a decision.

Should he stay here or leave?

As the kid lifted his key to place it on the locks of the grilled gate, all of Liam's senses screamed at him. The prison gate was about to be opened any second now!

Should he run or stay back?

Even if he started running now, could he really escape this mysterious person? If she was truly as strong as her aura suggested, then wouldn't he be dead anyway? Maybe if he used his nether realm portal, he could escape?

Liam's brain spun as he tried to make a decision. This could be life or death.

However, before he could do anything, something else happened. As soon as the kid clicked the key onto the grilled inner gates, loud roaring noises started echoing inside the giant hall.

One after the other, giant reptilian birds descended from the ceiling. The wyverns were here! All of the remaining eleven wyverns, all different sizes, and shapes, circled the kid.

Caught off guard, the kid looked shocked, and he dropped the key on the ground. He was finally interrupted! The wyverns also did not pay any attention to Liam and simply eyed the kid.

Liam sighed in relief. His gaze instinctively went to the key on the ground as he wondered if there was a chance for him to take it, but when he looked at it, he immediately recognized it.

He didn't have to steal this key. He already had one!

This was the same key he had taken from Nieria's lair! Just how many copies of this damned key were in circulation?

Hold on, that was not the main problem at hand right at this moment. The growling, roaring cries of the eleven wyverns filled the hall and flooded the passageway.

They were the huge threat looming around his neck. They might not pay any attention to him at the moment, but what about after they kill and decimate the kid?

He looked at the wyverns and they were all level 90 and above. One, even at Level 110. He took another step back.

Seeing so many wyverns together sent chills down Liam's spine, but the kid seemed to know no better. Ignorance was truly bliss? Did he not understand how powerful these beasts were?

If they attacked together, it would most definitely be a massacre. They wouldn't need 2 seconds to finish him off.

Liam didn't dare waste time any longer as he immediately made a portal to the nether realm, ready to escape at any given time.

Doing so broke his invisibility, but he couldn't care less about that. It was impossible for any invisibility potion or stealth skill to work against a higher creature like a wyvern.

While Liam prepared to flee, the kid stood fearless as the wyverns circled around him, each one looking more menacing than the previous one.

Even the dumbest person should be shaking in their boots by now. So was this fearlessness really because of blind arrogance, or did this kid have some sort of potential?

Liam couldn't help but pause and look at him. The next second, his question was answered as another set of beasts magically appeared in front of the kid.

Instantly, Liam's mouth dropped open in shock. These beasts… they couldn't be, right? He blinked and looked again, but there was no mistake.

They were also draconian beasts, but clearly, these were different than the wyverns. In fact, the wyverns looked like overgrown lizards with wings in front of these powerful, majestic creatures.

So, even though he did not want to believe it. His gut feeling told them they were real. The five newly summoned beasts were not your average monsters or even wyverns or drakes. They were actual dragons!

They had to be! Liam now understood why the kid was so confident. He had known that the kid was some sort of dragon tamer and even nick-named 'Dragon King', but to have actual dragons as pets?

This was inconceivable. These beasts were supreme beings that stood at the top of the food chain. He wouldn't be surprised if each of these beasts were celestial grade just like Luna.

Their mere presence was almost as strong as the woman who was chained up. Liam's body trembled because of the pressure that spread in the room and spilled into the hall.

It looked like the wyverns were no exception. They also visibly trembled in the presence of the five dragons.
