Chương 594: 594 Welcome

Liam sat down nervously and gave his complete attention and focus to the soul energy fragments drifting in front of him. This would be the first time he was actually going to forge a human soul from scratch.

When he had forged Gorak, it was an unusual situation where that idiot had clung to him as a vengeful spirit.

Crawford's soul was another special situation where the soul was already weakened to a certain degree and perhaps something else also happened.

Liam suspected that the old guy tried to remove the soul and send it back to his original body while Liam was trying to pull it away in another direction.

With the two of them tugging the soul in opposite directions, perhaps it was heavily weakened and torn into half or something like that. At least this was his guess.

And as for One, Two, and Three, they were all forged from soul fragments of multiple people joined together. So the difficulty in that as well was not too much.

However, Gu Donghai's soul was a whole soul and currently, Liam was trying to forge him. This would be different from the other attempts he had done.

Even though this one as well was weakened because of multiple deaths, the essence was still there. So when compared to the chickens, lesser dryads, and imps, this one would pose a significant challenge.

Liam did not dare to underestimate this and made adequate preparations. He summoned Crawford back to him, leaving behind only the Howler demon and the rest of his soul army to wreak havoc back on the battlefield.

And from the looks of it, they were doing a great job because the respawn point was very busy. Since Crawford arrived, he was chasing and cutting down one player after another without a break.

The soul energy from this mass slaughter was also nourishing in a way. Liam inhaled and sucked in a big breath of this energy-filled air.

"Ok, I will start. This is the best condition to forge."

In the midst of the numerous souls dying and respawning, he conjured mana hammers and started forging the soul that was struggling in his grasp.

…

…

"Ah… I am still alive?" Gu Donghai blinked. At first, he was shocked, followed by fear and panic but suddenly he noticed that he was feeling better than he had felt ever before.

"We won? I knew it. We won. We won." His heart jumped for joy as he thought of the obvious reason for his well being.

They must have killed the damn guy and taken some treasure from him and given it to him. That must be why he was feeling so good.

"Ah… I am really touched. I have really nice underlings. I should treat them to some drinks soon." Several thoughts swept past his brain as he continued thinking about random things.

But suddenly a hand was waving in front of him. He snapped out of his thoughts as a familiar face came into his vision.

"Gorak?" Gu Donghai was confused.

This guy… Wasn't he dead? What was happening? That too something was just weird about him. He was shimmering in silver light?

Am I hallucinating? If I hallucinate, it would be about my goddess, why would it be about this bastard?

Just as Gu Donghai lifted his hand to rub his face, he felt something strange. He looked at his hands and then looked at Gorak.

Maybe looked wasn't the right word because everything was different. His vision itself was colorless?

While he continued staring at everything in a daze, suddenly another familiar face came into his vision.

Aaeck! Gu Donghai instantly shrieked like a little girl.

"No! No! No! No! Why is this damned bastard here?!! No! No! No!"

"I am hallucinating! I am definitely hallucinating!" Gu Donghai started panicking. He turned to look at Gorak, his other hallucination when the said person gave him a sympathetic smile.

"Welcome to the team, buddy."

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

Gu Donghai started screaming even louder.

"Shut it. Don't make too much noise." Liam ruffled his head. There were many reasons why he made this guy one of his followers so while he was at it, he decided to get some back up as well.

He took charge from Crawford and started slaughtering the players who were popping up. Forging Gu Donghai took more effort on his side than he had anticipated, so he was fishing for another appropriate soul.

Soon he found another one and started forging again. This guy had also died several times so it was convenient to forge him.

And Liam did not stop there. Another half an hour later, he picked his next target and forged the third guy as well into a soul follower.

"I will stop for now." He then stood up and while the three new recruits continued frantically panicking, he resumed his hunt.

Liam silently started massacring at the respawn point one more time. His gaze was cold as he cut down everyone who showed up.

He also started forging more of the amalgam soul followers every now and then while he was at it. The process was tiring and he was mentally exhausted, but he couldn't let this rare chance slip by.

Soon, almost an hour had passed by and Liam still did not stop.

By now, no more players were left to fight. Asura, the howler demon, and the other soul followers also returned to the graveyard to stand near Liam.

And as for the army of five hundred players, they were currently dying and respawning in repeat.

If anyone else had seen this sight, they would have been extremely terrified but Liam's gaze was cold and unwavering.

To him right now only one thing mattered and just as he cut down another player, he received that promptly!
