Re: Evolution Online-Novel

Chapter 553 Strong!

Liam meant what he said. He now had a mana core. He was in the same bracket as this overpowered death knight.

There was no need for him to run away anymore. This was why he had come here in the first place. Otherwise, he would have dealt with this matter in an entirely different manner.

The moment he decided to come here, he was already prepared for this fight. Did they think that he would forever be running away from them like a weak, helpless little lamb?

"Bring it on." Liam grinned.

Everyone was shocked. Kouske stared blankly, not knowing what was happening. He knew that Liam was strong, but he was not strong enough to be this confident against his death knight.

However, no one had any time to think. Everything happened too fast. It only took 2 seconds for that monstrosity to catch up to Liam. He was now standing face to face with the death knight.

He looked at the giant growling soldier of death, and he could see that its level was 85, a whole 34 levels stronger than him.

Could he really win against this? This was the question on everyone else's mind.

Mia and Derek panted as they anxiously looked at Liam's back while the other group had the same response though both of them were anxious for very different reasons.

SLASH. The next instant, the death knight made the first move.

It brought down its huge sword onto Liam, and Liam as well did not dodge it. He blocked it with his sword as his mana core spun vigorously.

BOOM! Both the attacks were evenly matched. For a second, the whole place became deathly silent. No one understood how Liam was able to block a direct attack!

Only Mia was able to guess vaguely. She could tell that Liam was using his mana core. Is that why he stopped to face this thing now? However, was just mana core sufficient?

The death knight was a killing machine, and it did not give Liam any time to think.

Blue aura exploded from the monstrosity, and this aura enveloped the sword as well. The next second, the death knight started wildly attacking Liam in a frenzy.

Every single attack struck like thunder. Blue lightning flashed. The air around them crackled.

The death knight was attacking him in a frenzy, and Liam was not a fool. He did not plan to stand simply and get fucked.

There was a chance for him to hold on against this opponent and take it down, but he still could not afford to underestimate it.

Setting aside the 34 level difference, this thing in front of him might as well be a boss.

To face a technique from a boss was the same as signing a death warrant. Liam hurriedly moved back several paces. He had to kite this thing.

He boosted his speed and agility to the maximum by churning his mana core and moved in a flash. The death knight's attacks did not land on him and narrowly missed him every single time.

However, he did not do just that. He used everything that he had been training up until now.

[Ring of Fire]

[Dark Cutter]

[Sizzling Tornado]

The death knight grunted angrily. Every single attack landed perfectly and chipped away at its health, giving it immense pain, but it was still not enough to slow it down or cause any significant damage.

Its total health was a whopping 20 million!

And Liam's every damage was only doing a maximum of 5000 damage. At this rate…

He was not done yet. 'Just as I thought, these spells are still not enough.' Liam observed the progress and made a quick decision. He stopped playing like a mage.

He unsheathed his sword and dashed forward towards the death knight.

As he slashed down the semi-epic grade sword towards the death knight, sparks flew like fireworks, and surprisingly, his sword attack had a fire element type attack attached to it.

His sword slash seemed as if he was using a burning sword.

Both Derek and Mia looked dumbfounded. They knew that Liam was practicing this, but this was the first time they were seeing him execute it successfully.

He finally managed to combine his sword attack with mana? Now they understood why he had been confidently willing to fight against this thing.

Every single fire slash was dealing significant damage.

10000

15000

11000

Huge numbers popped out, and the death knight looked disoriented from the slew of attacks Liam was throwing at it.

He was like a mosquito buzzing around and attacking from all directions.

"No. This is still not enough." Liam paused and suddenly took out the rage potion from his inventory. Almost instantly, his battle power soared up further.

He once again dove right back into the fight and started slashing at the death knight relentlessly. This time every single attack dealt a damage of 20000 or 25000.

Mia as well was not standing still. With Derek standing in front of her and protecting her, she started dealing her own damage with the variety of divine affinity spells she had learned.

Her damage numbers were also quite big.

-10000

-12000

-7000

Especially because of the nether affinity, the death knight was taking extra damage from her attacks, and because of its huge size, Liam was able to evade them as well easily. So only the death knight was affected.

At this rate, the 20 million health was going to be evaporated in no time.

The group of four hadn't expected things to progress like this at all. They thought that Liam would flee away just like he always did and not fight back.

And now that he fought back, they had no clue what to do. This was their ultimate trump card. What were they supposed to do now?

They stared at this unbelievable sight, dumbstruck and stiff. Finally, Anya was the first one to speak up. She clenched her robes and shuddered.

"Kouske… what… what is this? Are we getting pushed back? Why is he able to fight our death knight?"

"Let's call the backup. We cannot afford to lose here. This is why I told you guys not to do this. We should have asked his permission first." Kouske replied gravely.

"Shut up, Kouske. I don't want to hear your 'I told you so.' Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I hate this." Anya was furious.

"I will call that group now." Kouske shook his head helplessly. They were already in this now. They no longer had a choice. They have to go all in no matter what, or they could lose too much today.
