Chương 951: 951 Unbreakable barrier?

Liam was first shocked when he found that even these bizarre creatures had a soul, but because they had one, they had already fallen into his trap.

From the outside, it might look like he was just randomly fighting against the newly arrived level 80 isons, and he was only barely keeping up, but the reality was far from it.

Since the very beginning, he targeted two of them, and now those two were the first to fall and end up on his side as his loyal soul minions.

Now there were only eighteen out of the twenty Queen's Generals remaining on the battleground.

The two newly arrived minions immediately picked off an ison from the remaining nine whom Liam was personally fighting against, reducing his load even more.

"Heh. That's more like it." Liam now found himself able to move more freely and easily and started pulling a vast amount of mana around him once more. He then released it all in one go, sending out a massive firestorm.

Roar! Huge flame serpents danced threateningly in all directions and instantly cleared the space around him, giving Liam much more leeway.

The smile on his face widened as his cold, vicious gaze now landed on the next two targets. Liam evaded the dozen razor-sharp wind blades that came for him and nimbly moved around the earthen spikes that aimed to impale him from the ground up.

At the same time, he also avoided the cutting limbs of the Generals and clashed with the two he had his eye on. A chaotic battle ensued, but soon, another two Generals fell down lifelessly.

Liam did not hesitate and instantly summoned his soul barrier. He then forged the two new Generals as well.

In fact, he now had enough time to confirm something else. These isons that he was forging though they seemed to possess souls, they had no memories within them whatsoever.

This only further confirmed that they were just hatched and newly born. The frightening aspect was that they were already so strong!

It had barely taken them two days to achieve this level. Just how much were they capable of growing if they were to have more time?

Was this why the isons seemed to target the lesser intelligent beasts and avoid humans when they were out on a hunt?

It almost looked like they were trying to stay under the radar to get enough time until they could become unshakeably strong and powerful.

And once they become stronger than any living being on this planet, they would probably overtake the land and resources in their entirety.

Liam shook his head. Wasn't the world a little unfair? How was this supposed to be the second trial for the apocalypse? Its difficulty was simply off the charts.

However, there was still a key to coming out on top even in this desperate, hopeless situation, and that was to act in unison, something that human beings had proved time and again that they were incapable of doing.

Liam decided to think about this after the fight. For now, he first needed to focus and take down the foe in front of him.

After the first four Queen's Generals fell, the rest of the fight quickly became one-sided. The isons could not stand against Liam's heavy hits and started crumbling one after the other.

Soon, only five remained, and those were also taken care of.

And consequently, twenty new soul minions stood fiercely behind Liam, eyeing everything around them with distaste.

The only feeling that these new guys gave off was contempt and hatred for everything around them. Besides that, these were just emotionless killing machines.

While Liam was fighting with these stronger isons, the rest of the guild as well almost finished clearing the swarm with only a few thousand remaining.

Liam let them deal with that and did not interfere. Instead, his attention was now focused once again on the impenetrable hive hill. Just what sort of a creature remained inside? How strong was it?

However, to find this out, he would have to first break through the defensive runic barrier that still flashed brightly, standing in the way between him and the hive hill.

Liam took a deep breath and once again summoned all of his top combat soul minions, including the newly forged ones.

He then signaled the guild members, who quickly retreated back, far away from the impact zone. This did not disturb their fight with the isons as the insects followed them even if they stepped out of the aggro zone.

When everything was clear, Liam finally began his assault.

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

He relentlessly attacked the runic barrier with everything he had. Luna, the two golems, and the soul minions also dutifully performed their part.

Bombarded with the full strength of him and his army, the runic barrier shivered and trembled every single time it was besieged.

However, that was that. Unfortunately, no matter how many times Liam took a step back and tried targeting the same spot over and over again, the result was the same. The barrier held freakishly strong!

The damned thing did not even budge a little, even when Liam's attacks laid waste to the whole area.

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

Everything in the vicinity was torn apart into shreds. Numerous craters were formed on the ground, and a multitude of fissures connected these craters.

All the trees, plants, vegetation, and any signs of life were completely wiped out from the area. Everything around the hive hill for a few miles was just cracked and barren land, subject to scarring damage.

However, even when the whole place was utterly destroyed, the hive hill still stood tall.

"This is bad." Liam did not like this one bit. He wanted to completely destroy this hive hill just like he had taken care of the previous ones.

Because if these isons had even a couple more days to evolve, then they would quickly get out of control and far beyond his reach.

"I guess I have no other choice except to try that?"
