Chapter 620 Long Time No See

Lyana watched the person in front of her with rapt attention. She did not know what had changed after the last dungeon but she could definitely sense frustration, a sort of impatience in his movements.

He was going in and out of the swamp dungeon continuously without a single second of break. His strength was also accordingly increasing at a steady pace. At this rate, he was going to…

Lyana gulped. She couldn't comprehend this sort of speed. Little did she know that the human she was admiring had very different thoughts.

"Slow. Too slow." Liam spat out the nasty swamp taste from his mouth. The speed at which he was going was simply not enough. At this rate, he was going to…

Liam shook his head. "This is very slow. I cannot afford to simply grind levels at this pace." He was no longer in the beginning stages of the game. So he was wasting crucial time.

This especially left a sour taste in his mouth because he knew of a way through which he could level much faster, much much faster. And yet to not use that cheat method… was frustrating.

A couple more hours passed by just like that when suddenly two huge birds appeared, flapping their wings and hovering in the sky right above where the elves were seated.

Lyana immediately became alert. The other elves also looked around to see where they could possibly run to and escape this calamity.

However, before they could take any steps, a man jumped down without any warning. Now the elves became even more terrified. Were they caught by some greedy human?

But unexpectedly, this human suddenly bowed in front of them. Well not exactly to them, behind them, Liam walked over to the group. "Thanks for making the trip." He nodded at Asura, examining the guy.

True to his name, the guy had once again exploded in his power level. He was now at Level 48. It was almost as if he was power-leveling just like Liam, but without his army of minions. So, this was pure hard work.

"Take care of these guys. I will be back in a day or two." Liam grinned as he patted him. When his follower was so explosively growing, he simply should not lag behind. It was time to make the trip.

Asura obediently nodded, but the elves had no idea what was going on. Where he was he leaving? Who was this new person?

However, Liam was not inclined to share any more details with them. As long as his precious quest NPCs remained safe, that was good enough.

He smiled and then clicked the bright reddish-black option on his system interface. Immediately a portal opened up in front of him. It was time to head back to the nether realm and get done with this damn leveling quest.

Lyana and the other elves stared in absolute shock as Liam stepped inside the portal and disappeared. Along with him, the injured fox and one of the birds disappeared as well leaving behind only the new guy.

Just what was happening?

…

…

…

On the other side…

Screee… Talon hissed at the sting of the nether rich air.

"Sorry, bud. Are you alright?" Liam on the other hand felt very refreshed.

Hearing him, the bird hurriedly shook his head. He just needed a minute to get used to the air because he hadn't been here in a while. He was happy to be here, to serve his master again.

"Ok then. Let's go when you are ready." Liam smiled, making the bird even more flustered as if he did not want to show his weakness to his master.

They had teleported to the outskirts of the Thol city like usual and Talon quickly gave him a ride to the city garrison building, arriving at the top of the red tower in just under a minute.

"Good boy. Good job." Liam gave the bird a few pieces of meat, then walked into the familiar place. As if the demons sensed his arrival, instantly a group appeared in front of him.

Everyone looked at him with expectant eyes wondering what was going to happen now. After the juicy first victory, their leader had completely disappeared, only to reappear now after several days. Everyone was almost yearning for another fight at this point.

Liam chuckled at their very obvious faces, "So what have you guys been up to? Shall we do another rift battle?"

Instantly all the demons started rejoicing. Everyone except Hiruyu left, scurrying away to make the necessary preparations. Hiruyu stayed behind to fill Liam with all the details.

While these two were discussing various things, another person also quietly appeared, followed by nine other figures. These were none other than Liam's ten brides.

Immediately Liam felt a headache coming as he remembered all the mess he had left behind in the nether realm, even inside his garrison.

These ten were the least of his concern, what he was worried about was the other two… the mysterious demonic nymphs.

As if he could read Liam's thoughts, Hiruyu helplessly smiled and informed him. "Leader, they are not back yet."

"Hmmm? That's good then." He sighed in relief. Though he was somewhat looking forward to the essence crystals they collected, this was also not bad. Now he could level in peace.

Liam dismissed everyone as he started making his own preparations as well. However, one person still remained.

"My Lord." The dark elf beast kin Yessika Elavarkeya stayed behind waiting for a personal audience with Liam.

The last time he had seen her, the woman's level was 121 but now she was at 125. That was an admittedly impressive leveling speed. She was also in some sort of trouble and had personally requested him for an elixir so he wondered what happened to that.

"How is your situation? Did you take care of your business?" Liam asked her.

"Yes, my Lord." The dark elf hurriedly nodded. She seemed happy that the City Lord remembered her.

"Alright then. You can leave now and prepare for the rift battle. We will be starting in a couple of hours. I will take some rest." Liam smiled.

"My Lord, please allow me." Unexpectedly, the dark elf lightly bowed and started disrobing in front of him right then and there, revealing her seductive alluring figure.

Huh? Liam was speechless.

The elf did not stop until she disrobed all the way and knelt down with her head on the ground as if she was offering herself to Liam like a sacrifice, her naked body laid out in front of him.

Cough. Cough. What is this? Did the two nymphs give some sort of lecture to the other women in his garrison while he was away?

"Ahem. Can you get up?"
