Re: Evolution Online-Novel



Seeing that his conversation with the fairy was not going anywhere, Liam hurriedly thanked the fairy and immediately headed to the portals once again. He decided to scour the whole world once more, but this time he was going to search for the demons.

And he was going to go all out!

Trying to disrupt even a single node of the array was taking a lot more time than he expected. So Liam quickly gave up on that idea. If he did not have the means to take out any of the nodes of the array, then he was going to stop them from forming altogether.

The brute force way!

He started his work systematically from territory 1 and then proceeded from there. Scanning the huge landmass from top to bottom, he unleashed his soul army and allowed them to run rampant.

The group of minions culled down everything in their path that was not human. They massacred beasts, demons, mana zombies, every being that came their way without any bias. 

The only ones they did not attack were the endless low level undead pouring out of the red pillars, which by now Liam was sure was meant to act as a distraction and waste their time while the real invasion was occurring in the shadows.

However, Liam was sure that these lower level undead were not the only thing that were meant to be a distraction. 

Liam could clearly see that the person who had set up this whole thing had also set up several distractions and deterrents.

The number of demons that they had found in just the first territory was a staggering amount. These demons were not easy to hunt. 

They lay low in caves and crevices and did not aggressively initiate the combat. Some were not even close to any nether nodes.

It was more like they were simply scattered around to once again distract and delay whoever came after them.

The most shocking thing was that even though there were so many demons, demons literally raining down from the sky, he was still unable to read the thoughts of even a single one of them.

What kind of magic was capable of erasing the minds of so many creatures? Just how high must their strength be?

This was just like when he had dealt with the vampires. The person behind that attack was also unimaginably powerful, especially the one who had conjured the blood effigy.

Just like the divine temple high priestess, these characters were completely on a different playing field than he currently was. Liam did not even have the knowledge to comprehend just how high this field was.

Perhaps only someone like the draconic princess could compare with them. At his level, all he could do was struggle and continue struggling until he couldn't anymore.

Liam clenched his fists with a grimace. He might be insignificant when it came to these powerhouses, but currently, the ball was in his court.I think you should take a look at

For some reason, these powerhouses were unable to step into the world in person, and as long as they were not able to do that, he still had the time to grow and become stronger. 

He still had the ability to face whatever they threw at him. He was not done yet. He was going to break this nether array no matter what.

While his minions continued hunting down the demons, Liam spent the time studying and analyzing the array pattern. However, this was easier said than done.

The pattern did not make sense. It was like trying to understand the meaning of a language that he had no clue about. This was not simple like the golem formation, where he could meddle with things that he did not understand. This was far more complicated.

He also used the stone tablet to siphon the nether as much as he could at every single node that he had access.

Perhaps focussing on one node wasn't the answer. He decided to try and destabilize many nodes by sucking in their energy with the stone tablet.

However, no matter what Liam did, the array stood strong defiantly. The damned thing was so robust that neither culling down the demons nor harassing the array with the stone tablet yielded any result.

The entire day was spent in this, and Liam even ended up leveling once from the relentless farming by all of his soul minions.

As a bonus, they had also run into two mana ore mines in territory 1. Liam immediately contacted the guild and brought over some of the elite force and two of the golems to handle mining the deposits.

Normally, this would have been a shocking, earth-shattering development as a mana ore mine meant that a lot more skills and recipes could be purchased from the magic shop, giving the entire guild fighting force an overall quality upgrade, but now, with this uncertain future, Liam did not know if it would even matter or not.

While the others scrambled about to collect the rich deposits with excitement, he silently walked out. Leaving the task of collecting the mana ores to the guild, he resumed his efforts for the second day.

He walked to the magic shop to move onto territory 3 when suddenly he stopped in his tracks. Standing in front of him was the person who had gone missing for the past few days. 

The draconian princess had the usual smile on her face as she playfully grinned at Liam. "Eh? You are heading towards the magic shop? Does this mean you are finally ready to seal the deal?"

Liam stopped.

"Ha Ha. Why are you silent, my liege? Did I touch a sensitive topic?" She giggled and walked closer. "Your harem is too small. You need to work harder."

Seeing that Liam was still not responding, the woman's face finally changed a little. She cleared her throat awkwardly and stood in front of Liam. "What are you planning to do about the array?"
