Re: Evolution Online

Liam only needed to take one look at the three approaching isons, and he could immediately tell that the information had somehow spread. Or perhaps they had some sort of setup that made them aware of the intruder taking down the isons one after the other.

He was pretty sure that they were also aware of his strength because three of the Generals were coming for him at the same time. These three were probably around the same Level 110 too.

With these three now in the mix, this fight had essentially become a race. Liam knew that these Generals won't be the last of the isons he would be facing. More isons were definitely en route. He needed to deal with everything here before that happened. 

He had the ability to deal with a swarm of Level 40 or even Level 50 or 60 isons, but what if he was assaulted by a swarm of Level 100 isons? Even if the swarm were small in size, he would still find this challenging, and the chance of him coming out on top in the fight would be low.

So he needed to clear out the isons around him as quickly as possible and not let himself become overwhelmed. This was their territory, and he still did not know what awaited him. It was best to play it as safely as possible.

In a single swift motion, Liam hurriedly grabbed the soul of the Queen's General he had just now cut down and immediately forged the damn ison. 

He had to disintegrate three of the vampire grunts in order to make space for the new minion, but it was definitely worth it because the new one was a Level 101 undead and should probably have some commander-type skills in addition to the wind blade technique and maybe some other skills.

Liam managed to finish it just in the nick of time when the three big shots landed with a thud in front of him.

<Queen's General, Level 115>

<Queen's General, Level 108>

<Queen's General, Level 103>

The three isons shifted their beady little eyes toward the newly forged and summoned soul minion that looked exactly like them. However, the next instant, they snapped out of it and focused their full attention on Liam.

One of the Generals rushed toward Liam, and its speed was extremely high. Liam, who had been easily able to discern the last General's movement, couldn't do the same with this one. He only barely sensed the attack as he blocked it at the last moment.

At the same time, the other two General's also made their move. Balls of purple flame emerged around one of the Generals, and the second one stood still whilst screeching loudly.

Liam paused and made a quick decision. 

He only entered this fight because he had confirmed that these Generals were still within his range and were average at best, even though they were Level 110.

But handling the three Generals at the same time was a bit risky, especially because he did not want to go all out at this stage. He was still only scratching the surface. He needed to conserve his energy.

So he immediately called Helikatos to his side once again, and along with the newly forged ison, the two of them teamed up against the General, that excelled in speed.

Liam then personally dealt with the other two as he churned his mana core and created a huge surge of energy. He then blasted out this mana with full force, executing [Fire Storm]. 

The remaining two isons were fully engulfed in flames, along with the few smaller isons that charged toward him. The balls of purple flames completely drowned in Liam's attack, and the other ison that was screeching loudly also got swept up in the flames.

Just like the weak physical defense, these Generals also did not possess much magic defense. However, this in itself was extremely impressive.

For Liam to progress from Level 81 to 91, it had taken several weeks, and even now, it was only because of these isons that he was fast-leveling by exploiting their weakness.

But for these Generals, it had barely taken them a couple of days to shoot up from the same Level 80 to Level 110. They also had mana cores and unique skills, from what Liam could see. If this was not frightening, then what was?

Thankfully, it had just happened, so they did not seem to possess mastery in their skills just yet. 

Liam saw that the purple flames producing General had taken more damage, so temporarily, he ignored the other ison and started slashing down at this one without giving the insect a chance to survive.

He used mana to boost his agility and strength further and completely overpowered the General in direct combat. But how could the other one stay still after watching this?

The third General started screeching extremely loudly. In fact, the sound was so loud that Liam couldn't help but wince a little. 

However, in the end, it was still noise, so he continued pummeling down the first General that was closer to its death, when suddenly a huge force pushed him to the side.

And that was not all, once again, another huge force assaulted him from the other direction and thrashed him to the ground.

But when Liam looked around, there was nothing nearby. With a frown, he quickly moved to finish the first General when a loud screeching noise echoed again, and this time an abnormal force punched him down from the top.

Liam narrowly evaded the attack. However, now he had a hunch about what was happening. 

He lifted his head up to see that there weren't any enemies hovering over him, but a few feet away from him, the third General's triangular head was opened up in a weird manner, and this time, a screeching noise even louder than the previous ones emerged.

The next instant, enormous ripples of wind churned, locking down Liam on all four sides.
