Chương 1058: 1058 Lord Savior

"Without Crimson Abyss, we would have completely lost it. Mr. Liam cleared every single horned vulture near our guild base."

"Crimson Abyss is amazing. Not only did they take care of the ison invasion, but they are also generously helping us stabilize after the whole disaster."

"Ya. The government did shit all. They are only good for talking big, while Mr. Liam and Crimson Abyss silently helped everyone."

"Hey, I heard that Liam even helped a single mother find her two missing kids."

"He cleared the beasts from our zone."

"I am one of the people who had spoken terribly about the guild and Liam. Now that I know the truth, I can see how wrong I was. If I get a chance to meet with the guild leader, I would love to apologize."

"Asskisser. If you want his help, just ask. Mr. Liam is a very kind person. He doesn't hold petty grudges."

"Yup, I can attest too. But you should apologize anyway. Otherwise, you would have to answer to the Defenders Guild."

"+1. If you don't apologize to Mr. Liam, you have to face our Blood Guild."

"Anyone who opposes Mr. Liam or Crimson Abyss has to go through our Earth Guild."

"Mr. Liam is the savior sent by our Lord almighty. A simple apology is not enough. Kneel and pray to him. May the Lord bless us all! May our savior live long and prosper!"

…

Alex rubbed her eyes. Was she reading it right? She went through the guild chat again, but nothing changed. It was simply more of the same, everyone shamelessly singing exaggerated praises of the guild and, more specifically, Liam.

He was the savior of this freaking world?

For the first time ever, everyone was actually saying something positive about Crimson Abyss. Their public image was through the roof. People were practically worshiping Liam.

Alex shook her head. She needed a moment to digest all of this.

Kind and generous? Savior? This guy? Alex wanted to bang her head somewhere. Just how many people did Liam help already in order to brainwash the whole world like this?

No, all of this was fine, but… but… What the hell?

Something so stupid could lead them to a treasure or a guardian or that world tree seed thing? Does Liam seriously believe that? Alex stared at the guy from across the hall, letting out a sigh.

He hadn't steered them wrong until now, but still, she couldn't help but wonder if he was correct this time around. Perhaps he was in over his head finally, and because of that, he was starting to make mistakes?

As she was looking at him, all of a sudden, Liam turned to look right at her, making Alex blush a little, which was immediately followed up by a burst of anger for no reason.

"Oh! Just the person I was looking for." Liam waved at Alex.

"Let's go for another trip."

"You should have called me sooner." She scoffed.

"Is it the Oracle this time or that Jim Crammer? Which nutcase are we listening to today?"

"Jim Crammer?" Liam raised a brow.

"I mean that stupid baldy who keeps predicting the opposite shit."

Heh. Liam chuckled.

"Both of them are coming with us."

Alex shook her head helplessly, and the four of them resumed their journey again, coming through the last of the territory, Australia, territory 7.

However, this time around, Alex noticed that their trip went rather differently. In all their previous trips, it would take about half a day to stumble into something, but now, the monk was constantly jumping out of his seat as if his ass was on fire.

The group was running into all sorts of good fortunes and bad fortunes.

They were nothing life-changing, but at the end of the first half of the day, they had already harvested a dozen or so precious gems and a hundred or so herbs, and they had also run into powerful elites, which were quickly converted into mana cores.

In addition to this, they discovered a few hidden dungeons that became dungeon crystals and also ran into ore deposits that were mined meticulously by the undead. All in all, the haul was tremendous.

"Hot damn! I am on fire!" The monk grinned from ear to ear. His shenanigans were more unbearable than usual, making Alex cringe.

Liam wanted to tell the guy that it was not entirely because of him that they were having this lucky streak, but he decided to let it go. He did not want to disclose any information about the lucky coins.

Though he did not want to rely on these lucky coins, their effect was already startling, especially when combined with the power of the monk.

Just how many more of these coins were around?

Liam silently stared at the land underneath them as they once again descended to pick up another herb.

The group continued this for the rest of the day, and in the end, to Liam's surprise, they managed to obtain another five lucky coins.

This brought his total up to 25!

"This means that my current luck attribute would be… 625?"

This would hands down be his biggest stat and also the first stat that was past the 500 mark! He wondered if there was any significance to that.

As the others were busy fighting an elite spider, Liam combined the five lucky coins with the other lucky coins to put everything together. The next second, unbeknownst to him, a wave of golden aura spread across him.

Almost immediately, both the monk and the oracle turned to look at Liam. They stared at him with their mouths wide open as if they were seeing a naked beauty in person.

"Huh? What are you both looking at?" Liam asked them, his own lips curving up to a smile.

He was just about to inspect his stat screen and see when he could bring his other stats to this level when suddenly the Oracle suddenly stiffened up. His voice became hoarse as he started speaking with a blank face.

"Behold, the encroaching tempest of darkness looms on the horizon, its ominous presence foreboding and relentless. Forces unseen gather in the shadows, their motives concealed beneath a veil of treachery."

"With insatiable hunger, they covet power beyond measure, their thirst unquenchable, their determination unwavering. In their pursuit, they shall probe the depths of your resolve, challenging the very essence of your being."

"As their malevolent winds blow, they seek to test the mettle of your soul, beckoning you to embrace the crucible of trials."

"Fear not, for within these crucibles lies the forge of transformation, where your spirit shall be refined and strengthened."

"Stand firm, for in the face of darkness, your light shall shine even brighter, illuminating the path towards triumph and unveiling the indomitable spirit that resides within."
