Re: Evolution Online

"Impossible!" Liam gaped in shock. When he saw these barbarians previously, only one among dozens of them had this strange power, which enabled them to explode in power. But now, every single one of them was in this berserk, powered-up state?! How was this possible?

Liam could visibly see the barrier shaking and trembling. The strong, impenetrable magic wall that didn't budge when he rammed against it, was now struggling under the attack of the barbarians. How were they so strong?

They had not only the numbers but also the power to back up the numbers.

"Damn it. This is bad." Liam gritted his teeth. Yes, he felt bad for the elves, but there was another reason why he was apprehensive about this new development. This was because once the elves were done, where would the barbarians turn next? The human kingdoms!

If these guys turned their attention to the human kingdoms, then the last few weeks would become extremely chaotic, and there would be several deaths. The timeline would drastically change.

The people who were only wiped out after the apocalypse could actually die sooner before this damned tutorial even shuts down!

Liam never envisioned himself as the hero who sought to save the entire world and every single person who lived and breathed. But this was too huge an event even for him to avoid. It had the potential to alter the course of history and trigger a global catastrophe!

"They absolutely cannot win this war!"

He needed to find a weakness and at least partially destroy this army. If only he could bring over his demon garrison!

Liam asked Luna to fly around the whole group and back into the depths of barbarian territory. Perhaps he could cull the population there while this group was busy trying to break the barrier.

The duo stealthily flew above cloud cover as Liam somewhat made out the distribution of the entire army. It was a massive army that could strike fear in the hearts of everyone who witnessed it. On the other hand, the elven population was pitiful.

"The barbarians definitely have the numbers on their side," Liam said in a grim tone. The duo continued to observe the army, and eventually, it started tapering off. This was exactly what Liam was waiting for!

He immediately patted Luna to swoop down and land near one of the camps that were in the far back, spread out sufficiently. If he attacked now, the others would have no idea.

But the fight needs to be wrapped up quick and clean before the barbarians could transform. Even if one sign of disturbance leaked outside, he couldn't use this strategy anymore.

This was definitely a detour in his plan. However, he at least had to try something. He only planned to involve himself as much as he could. And even if nothing works out, it was still a good grinding spot for his minions.

"Alright. Let's do this." Luna licked her lips as a vicious glint appeared in the fox's eyes. She dove down at lightning speed, her figure blurring and appearing in front of the barbarians without any warning. At the same time, Liam shouted. "Come out."

Instantly, the army of soul minions materialized, with the newly added lizardmen taking the lead. They seemed to be even more bloodthirsty than the barbarians, as they sprang forward and mauled everyone in their path.

Crawford and the other minions also did not want to get left behind, and everyone rushed over to the closest barbarian. Moreover, the camp only had a dozen or so barbarians. This resulted in a complete slaughter.

Five minions or more ganged up on every barbarian, and before the muscular, sturdy beings realized what hit them, they were already dead.

Luna growled in annoyance as she didn't have any space to fight. Liam also did not participate. The two of them hovered in the air, keeping an eye on things in case someone turned into the berserk, bloodlust form.

However, no such thing happened. The entire fight only lasted for about a minute when the sixty plus soul minions finished raiding the camp. In the end, the drops were also collected and neatly bundled up with a bow on top.

Sure, the experience points gained were minimal, but they were just getting started!

"Perfect." Liam grinned and dismissed the group. "Let's go to the next camp, Luna." The fox growled and bobbed her head enthusiastically.

If they continued like this, they could easily take down close to a quarter of the army before they realized something was going on. And then they can think of what to do next.

As soon as Liam gave the signal, Luna pounced on the next camp of barbarians, and once again the army of soul minions appeared out of thin air and slaughtered the camp mercilessly.

"2 down, 50 to go!"

The duo hopped from one camp to another without any break and relentlessly hacked and slashed at the barbarians. They were painting the entire forest red with barbarian blood.

After an hour, Liam's experience bar actually filled up by 30%, which was huge considering he had to share experience points with so many minions and Luna.

But they were only able to do this because none of these barbarians had transformed yet. It would be an entirely different story if they actually had to fight with the berserk group.

"How long can I keep this up?" Liam wondered as his soul army raided another camp and returned with the glorious loot. Everything was going smoothly, but it definitely won't last long. He needed to contact the elves somehow, or at least the old guy. Otherwise, figure out something else to do.

Just as Liam was about to go to the next camp, suddenly a familiar voice sounded. "Grandmaster Liam! Wait! Wait! Please!"

"Huh?" He turned around to see Lyanna frantically calling for him and flying towards him on a huge eagle. What was she doing here? What was going on?

As if answering his question, the anxious elf opened her mouth and blurted out. "Grandmaster Liam, please wait a moment. Don't attack the barbarians anymore. Grandpa was the one who orchestrated all of this."
