Chapter 281 - LEGACY UNLOCKED!

After grabbing Luna, Liam did not stop as he ran away from the castle and quickly arrived at the inn where the demons were staying.

Without taking a breather, he ordered Hiriyu to pack everything up and leave immediately.

It helped that his stamina was better in the nether realm. He still had a lot of energy left after dealing with the mother and the daughter.

Nevertheless, there was a slight panic in his voice and urgency in his words.

"Leader?" The demon looked confused.

"If somebody asks, I was with you guys the whole time." Liam hurriedly spoke, not bothering to explain any further. He then ran out of the inn as well, directly leaving the enormous city.

This time he did not care about training and making the journey back on foot and instead summoned Talon, the two of them flying to their garrison at Thol city at top speed.

The demonic beasts howled loudly in the dark ominous night and several birds flew alongside them a couple of times. However, Liam did not stop for anything and urged Talon to keep flying.

A few hours later… they were finally back in the small city.

Liam only sighed in relief when he reached the familiar red brick tower and leaned back on the huge throne-like chair.

He lifted his finger and signaled for one of the demons to come forward. "Send an immediate message to the Itaka city lord that we have arrived safely and thank him for the hospitality."

He hoped that this might take the suspicion off of him, but… who was he kidding…

Brrrrr… Liam shook his head and his shoulders, trying to put away the weird events of the night out of his mind, and paid attention to the main issue at hand.

"Tell no one to disturb me."

He went to one of the rooms in the tower and latched the door behind him. He now took out all the scrolls in which he had copied the symbols and the signs letter for letter.

Taking a deep breath, he sat down and plunged himself into these scrolls.

Ultimately, this was more important!

And despite everything that sent chills down his spine, he did manage to make considerable progress in this aspect!

Liam spread out everything in front of him and started playing with the permutations and combinations.

Like Nyaka had said, the signs and symbols etched on the rocks were both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

Of course, this was after he took the crash course in learning the 20 different demon tongues. Liam still couldn't exactly understand the meaning.

But he was now able to make a rough guess of the different meanings a particular symbol or a string of symbols could have.

Liam pushed up his sleeves and got down to business.

He patiently wrote down all the possible combinations and the potential meanings and then systemically began analyzing the whole thing.

It was like solving a puzzle but the only catch was that his life depended on it.

Perhaps it was because he had relieved some stress by playing with those two women or perhaps because he felt better in the nether realm, his head and his thoughts were more clear.

He was able to view everything from a bird's eye perspective, and slowly more and more dots started connecting.

"Hammer… weapon… forging?"

"Soul forging?"

"And this must then be soul flame?"

"Eternal warriors of the true nether"

"Forged with mana, nether, and demonic madness?"

Liam distilled out the things that made the most sense and started jotting everything down in a new scroll.

His pulse quickened as he slowly deciphered every little symbol, one at a time.

The more he gleaned about the words, the more he understood the true significance of what he had obtained.

It was far more powerful than he had imagined.

He locked himself in the room spending the entire day and finally, after a few hours buried in the same entangled mess, a vague clarity struck him.

And simultaneously, a strange notification appeared in front of him also.

[Ding. You have obtained 10% of a mythical legacy]

[Ding. You have sufficient mana affinity; You have sufficient nether affinity; You have sufficient nature affinity; You have sufficient demonic affinity; You meet the criteria for the legacy]

Ding. Unique Class Unlocked - Soul Mancer]

[Ding. Do you wish to accept it? Y/N]

Liam was shocked. He fell back in both tiredness and exhilaration. He had finally obtained it… the legacy? He couldn't believe his eyes…

It was only 10% but still… this was a first step in the right direction!

"Soul Mancer…" He muttered under his breath in contemplation. "Did this mean using souls or affecting souls? Or perhaps forging souls to become stronger?"

There were several possibilities and as he thought about each one of them, Liam couldn't help but feel the excitement coursing through his veins.

More importantly, the class required all mana, nature, demonic and nether affinity, so it wouldn't restrict his development, and he would be able to develop himself in multiple paths.

It was almost as if it was tailor-made for him!

Was it really the same legacy Kouske unlocked in his previous life? From what Liam had observed, Kouske did not really use mana and magic spells.

He only had the basic undead spell and a couple of nether-specific spells. He also knew that he had good nether affinity because he was able to reach the necromancer's hideout.

But other than that… he did not seem to possess all the tools that Liam possessed.

So no matter how he thought about this, it was impossible for Kouske to have gotten this same option?

Or maybe this option showed up only for him since he possessed this unique body constitution and because of his specific circumstance?

Several questions still remained in Liam's mind. Nevertheless, he decided to accept it. Perhaps when he unlocked the complete 100% of the legacy, things will become clearer.

He paused, took a deep breath, and selected 'Yes'.

[Ding. Your class is now changed to Soul Mancer]

[Ding. Warning. Your class will be removed and reset if the legacy is not completed 100%]

[Ding. You have unlocked a new skill - Soul Forging]

[Ding. Soul Sensing skill not acquired.]

[Ding. Soul Forging skill has been locked.]

Liam's eyes almost popped out of his socket as he looked at the generous reward that was taken back from him before he could even look at its description.

Nevertheless, his lips curled up into a grin.

The feeling that he had at this moment was indescribable. He had struggled so hard for this exact moment and finally, he had received the result!

"Mythical legacy huh… " Liam chuckled lightly, thinking about the other group who had nearly snatched this away from him.

But it appears he was the winner after all...

He fell back onto the floor and let out a loud maniacal laugh that resounded amidst the entire garrison tower, scarring the bejesus out of all the demons.

Chapter 282 - Nether And Soul

Liam stared at the ceiling and emptied his mind for a bit without thinking about anything in particular.

He then drew a deep breath and stood up, clearing all the scrolls strewn about on the floor.

He had somehow clawed his way in and obtained the legacy but a lot of preparations are required to fully understand this new class and bring out its maximum potential.

He also had only 10% of the legacy.

Nevertheless… with high spirits, he left the garrison tower to try out some things and unlock the new skill he had obtained.

A soul mancer… just what does this class entail? Liam pondered as he walked out of the garrison tower and then out of the small city.

"So to unlock this [Soul Forging] skill, I need to first sense the presence of a soul? How am I supposed to do this?"

He nodded at the guards, walking past them to the outskirts of the city. He spotted a few demonic hounds prowling nearby.

"Let me start with these guys."

The demonic hounds were only Level 34 so Liam finished them off in a couple of fireballs and a wave of fire bullets.

He then walked over to the corpses to examine them. He stared at the dead doggos for a minute, but no matter how much he tried he couldn't sense a soul or whatever.

They were alive and now they were dead.

That was the difference.

He then spotted another pack and went over to them to once again continue with his experiment. This time he did not kill them right away.

He simply blocked and parried their attacks, while trying to see if he could sense something different. However, once again, his efforts did not result in anything fruitful.

All he sensed was their killing intent when they struggled violently, trying to sink their teeth into his flesh and claw him to death.

"Hmmm…" Liam silently observed things before finishing them off as well.

He tried this type of approach for a while when he finally decided that this was not going to get him the results.

"Ok. Time to try the next thing." Liam used the only necromancer spell he had in his possession and cast [Awaken Undead].

He had used this spell several times in the past. However, this time when he cast the same familiar spell, he felt something very unique.

Or rather, it was as if he was blind before and now suddenly he was able to see.

Swirls of thick black nether energy coiled around the dead hounds and slowly by slowly they became richer and turbulent as if the nether itself was alive.

The energy then suddenly flooded inside the corpse and disappeared in a flash, the dead hound, springing back up alive the next instant.

Liam was absolutely flabbergasted. This was the mystery of life and death in front of him.

For a second, he even forgot about why he was trying to become stronger and became interested in what just happened in front of him, one of the greater truths of life and death.

Liam unsheathed his sword, cutting down the hounds he had only just now summoned and trying to sense if there was something inside

He once again cast the spell [Awaken Undead] and did the same thing again.

The thick swirls of nether gathered once again and gushed into the corpses for a second time as if it couldn't care less if the being possessed a soul or not or if it was alive or not.

Just as Liam thought about this, he wondered if nether could have the same effect on a living being. Could he perhaps manipulate something that was already alive with nether?

Or did it specifically have to die first?

Seeing that his mind was beginning to wander in a different direction, he pulled his thoughts and focus back to the main topic.

Soul! He wanted to sense a soul!

Liam tried casting [Awaken Undead] repeatedly but he had a feeling that this spell did not require the presence of a soul. So after trying for a while he gave up this approach as well.

"Hmmm… do I have to die again?" Liam chuckled as he sat down beneath a boulder and pondered the other options he had left.

The first time he died, he was finally attuned with nether and was able to sense it as if he had forever breathed it in and out.

So perhaps for sensing soul as well he needed to do something similar?

Liam blankly stared into the distance for a while but then shook his head, rejecting that thought. "Why should I die when I can simply kill someone else?"

He was also curious about the graveyards and the presence of nether in the graveyards.

"Alright. Let's do it. I can camp someone at the graveyard and kill them enough number of times to see if I can sense a soul or not." He nodded and stood up.

"Yes, this is what I will try next." He liked the idea and decided to stick with it. He also had an incomplete quest that he hadn't touched in a while.

He needed to still collect several more souls for the quest. So while he was trying to sense it, he might as well finish that quest.

Liam's mind quickly began to recalculate and re-evaluate everything that he had to do and the priority with which they should be done.

After all, he also had a long list of people whom he owed a debt to, the newest members being Kouske and the group.

Thanks to him he had gained so much. Perhaps he too would have missed the things beneath the moss if he was not trying to scavenge everything for Luna.

So in the end, he only helped him out… but still… he couldn't just let that incident slip. He was neither that forgiving nor that kind.

Just as Liam mulled over everything that was yet to be done, suddenly a thought popped into his mind.

Excluding the soul devourer quest, he already had two more quests related to the soul in one way or the other.

One was the Kingdom quest in the south about the spreading of sickness and the other was the sword that was made of dragon souls!

Perhaps he could obtain more knowledge about the inheritance or gain some other breadcrumbs after finishing these ones!

"Wait. Didn't that guy also give me a soul forging technique?"

Liam quickly opened that skill description and saw that the portion which was locked was now unlocked?

Chapter 283 - Did It Work?

[Inferior Soul Forging] (Partial technique)

[Combines a weapon with a soul imbibing the strength of the soul into the weapon and vice versa, imbibing the strength of the weapon into the soul]

[Both the weapon and the soul can be fused only if appropriate conditions are met. The strength of the weapon and the strength of the soul has to be in harmony]

[The forger has to wield superior mana to hammer both the weapon and the soul into submission]

"Oh. So this was just an inferior version of the skill?" Liam read the description of the technique which vaguely talked about the various ins and outs.

This was the skill he had obtained from the old man and this also should be the skill using which the black dragon sword was forged by that unknown master.

At first, he was excited thinking that he could easily obtain the missing bits and pieces from this skill, but now it looked like they both were a bit different.

One could even be called a subset of the other.

Liam tried to understand what was written in the description, but most of it was just general guidelines to something vague.

"There is nothing about what I exactly need to do huh…" He frowned. Nevertheless, he went through it a couple of times.

After the third time, he paused, "Hammer the weapon and soul using mana? They couldn't mean it literally right?"

Liam suddenly had an idea and he decided to try it out first before heading back to Xion realm to hunt down players in his list one after the other.

He located one more pack of demonic hounds and killed all the beasts except for one.

He then slaughtered the last one as well but immediately summoned the nether around to completely drown the beast.

He kept adding an excessive amount of nether, making the beast's corpse now pitch black in color, wrapping it in a cocoon of nether.

He then did not stop and continued adding more and more nether to the same, as if he was suffocating the small corpse.

"Is it really not possible?" Liam looked at the black bundle in front of him and still felt nothing. He felt the bones, skin, flesh, blood, organs of the hound, and nothing more.

There was no soul or anything else inside or at least he couldn't sense it.

"Hmmm…" Liam tried doing the same a couple more times before taking a break to think about everything. He then sighed and stood up to try again.

"Luckily I am still getting experience points." He chuckled and spent another hour trying to do the same thing.

After a while, he realized that he had missed something obvious. On the next try, he tried to summon both mana and nether at the same time.

Liam then freshly killed a demonic wolf and now flushed its body with both mana and nether at the same time.

Controlling both at the same time felt a bit different as if he was showering in both cold water and hot water at the same time, but he slowly and gradually tried to get used to it.

Since he did not need to finely adjust or control anything, it was a lot easier.

Liam sent as much mana and nether as he could possibly summon and wrapped the corpse with the two different energies.

After a couple of hours, he was able to do it, the problem was that the process was very mentally taxing. It tired him and drained him out.

But he took a breather here and there and continued going through with it.

Finally, almost at the end of the day, he was able to get the intensity that he wanted to reach.

The freshly killed wolf's corpse was now completely flushed with nether and mana, though the intensity of nether was a lot more than that of mana.

"This shouldn't matter… maybe…" Liam tiredly yawned and tried to stuff in more energy when he finally felt something small and solid?

No, it was not solid. It was something in between liquid and solids? Perhaps a jelly?

"No. That's not important right now." Liam shook his head and then tried to grasp the feeling of the small tangible and yet intangible thing.

He was finally able to sense it after hours and hours and he did not want to lose it.

"What are you?" He gazed at the thing in perplexion.

He could feel the weight and intensity of the small thing. There was an unimaginable amount of energy present within it. He could feel it.

But at this point, Liam could not hold it anymore and he let everything go.

Almost at the same time, a series of notifications loudly rang out.

[Ding. You have learned the skill - Soul Sensing]

[Ding. You have unlocked the skill - Soul Forging]

[Ding. You have now acquired 20% of the Legacy]

Liam fell back onto the dry sands, huffing and panting. "That actually worked? That was the soul?" He did not expect it. "At least I didn't have to die again for it."

He tiredly opened the system interface and checked the description of this new skill acquired.

And this time… there was no tag on it deeming it be inferior or superior.

[Soul Forging] - Active skill; Forge the soul into an eternal warrior; Chance of success increased by 10%;

"Hmmm…" Liam read it and then looked at the other skill description, the skill that he had learned.

[Soul Sensing] - Passive skill; Able to sense the soul of a being, living or dead.

"Both the active skill and passive skill doesn't have an energy consumption? This is not possible."

Just the small attempt he did in order to sense the presence of a soul had completely tired him out. How could this skill possibly cost zero of anything?

"Ok. Let me try activating this skill with the system's help." Liam sucked in a big breath of air and tried to recover as much as possible.

He then dashed towards a group of scorpions in the distance. He unsheathed his sword, killing several at the same time and he quickly activated the skill.

[Soul Forging] Liam mumbled.

His eyes widened in surprise as he could now feel seven small white balls like that of mist rising up from the dead scorpion corpses.

They seemed like a cluster of cotton dust, ready to disperse at any given moment.

[Soul Forging]

[Soul Forging]

[Soul Forging]

Liam muttered again and again and again.

Chapter 284 - Husband, Where Are You?

Liam waited and watched, hoping that something would happen. His eyes were fixated on the seven small soul orbs.

He had to use his complete mental focus and attention to keep perceiving them. If he let his focus slip even for a second, he would instantly lose track of them.

So he keenly observed the small orbs without letting his mind wander.

1 second passed… 2 seconds passed…

Still, nothing happened but the next second, before Liam could do anything about it, the balls of mist completely disintegrated and dispersed.

They vanished entirely without leaving any trace behind.

"So the skill didn't work?" Liam silently pondered.

He walked around at the spots where the soul orbs were previously present and then waved his hand to check those spots.

"They are really just gone and the skill did not work."

He stood silently for a minute, not knowing how to proceed with this. "If I can't automatically use the skill, then…"

Liam smiled bitterly and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He could see that the road ahead was not going to be easy.

Perhaps because he had managed to obtain a better legacy than Kouske, his path was also that much more difficult.

He once again spotted another mob and cut down the group of scorpions. This time he did not focus on soul orbs from all the scorpions.

Instead, he only focussed on the orb from one scorpion. He then hurriedly used mana and nether to wrap this soul orb.

Poof!

His control wasn't that good so the soul orb disintegrated before he could do anything.

He again targeted a mob and focussed on a single soul orb, quickly using mana and nether to wrap around this one too.

However… Poof!

Once more the soul orb disintegrated and disappeared. This time he wasn't fast enough.

"Alright. Again." Liam took several deep breaths and tried one more time. "This is going to take a while."

Just like he expected, he ended up spending the entire day training and at the end of the day, he managed to improve his control of mana and nether by leaps and bounds.

But his progress when it came to taming the soul orb was still hugely lacking. He wasn't able to make heads or tails of the whole thing.

Liam also was completely exhausted. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't focus properly, so he decided to take a break here.

Besides, he needed to supply more gold to the garrison and work on the other quests to get a better understanding of this class and legacy.

Perhaps then things would be clearer and more straightforward.

Liam stood up and walked back to the city. He didn't wander too far away so he reached the place in a few minutes and then arrived at the garrison tower.

He immediately called over one of the demons standing around to check for the status update on the ticking time bomb which was counting down to a whole shitload of mess.

"No leader, there hasn't been any messages from the Itaka city Lord. There also hasn't been any unusual movements."

The demon sounded confused. Nevertheless, he answered all the queries Liam had to the best of his abilities.

"What the hell is happening? Maybe the demon did not care too much about his herb garden? Was there nothing precious or even noteworthy growing there?"

Liam as well was confused.

And as for the other factor… he had no idea what the unique mother and daughter duo were doing at the moment.

Perhaps they had already moved on from him and fixed their crazy eyes on another sap?

Brrrrr… Liam shook his head feeling a chill run down his spine just at the thought of the two beautiful horny oddballs.

"Well… since there is nothing to worry about right now, I guess I don't have to think about them?"

Liam shrugged and then asked the demon to bring out all the loot gathered in the recent invasion missions.

To this, the demon revealed a big huge grin and waved his hand at his underlings.

The next second, several sacs full of all sorts of equipment, weapons, accessories, gems, herbs, ores and what not were piled up in front of Liam.

They had somehow managed to gather not one but a dozen piles of such dazzling loot. Even Liam was surprised to see so much harvest.

He stood up and walked around, inspecting everything in the room.

"Segregate the raw materials from the weapons and items and arrange those according to their grade." He ordered the demon.

The demon enthusiastically nodded and got down to do the busy work.

The raw materials were quite decent. Some of them were even items that Liam had not yet acquired in the game.

"I should feed these to the sword later." He made a mental note.

The weapons and equipment were also above average with several rare-grade items and some unique-grade items as well.

"Good. Good." Liam nodded in satisfaction. "Bring the best performing teams and reward these rare-grade and unique-grade items to the soldiers and leaders."

"As for the other items…"

Liam did not leave behind a single thing. He stored the two sets of items separately.

After keeping the raw materials in his inventory, he no longer had any space left for the weapons and equipment so he asked the demon to bring out some sacks and filled these to the brim with items.

After that, he did not linger around in the garrison tower any longer as there was quite a lot of work to be done and he directly switched out to Yleka city.

However… unbeknownst to him… a few minutes after he left the garrison tower…

Two cloaked figures entered the small city. They were tall and dressed in shabby clothing and there wasn't anything special about them in first glance.

But if one looked closer at them, one could see that even the baggy shabby cloaks couldn't hide their seductive figures that was underneath.

"Mother, we are here."

"Yes, we are."

The two figures then suddenly removed the cloaks covering their faces. Instantly, their stunning seductive beauty was revealed for everyone to see.

Every single demon who walked past them turned to look at the two and almost banged their heads on the wall.

No one in their city, no, probably the entire kingdom was as alluring as these two.

The demons were so shocked that they did not even have the courage to approach the two women for a good time.

They simply gulped and stood on the spot, staring at the two.

The two women as well did not look uncomfortable because of all the attention they were receiving. Rather they looked quite content with the show and the effect they had on people.

They clearly enjoyed the attention.

"Te Hee~~~ Husband… where are you? We are still waiting for you…" The two muttered in unison with a crazy look in their mesmerizing eyes.

Chapter 285 - Gathering The Group

After arriving at Yleka city, Liam walked over to the auction house where Berat was already waiting for him.

He wore a pair of khaki cloth pants and a loose casual shirt. His appearance was also very normal as if he was in the real world and not playing a VR game.

This was because as per Liam's advice, he was currently working on improving his merchant skills.

"Hey! Boss! I am here." Berat waved his hand on seeing a black cloaked figure moving about in the crowded street.

Of course, there were several players dressed like this to cover their identity but since Liam and he were friends and at the moment in the same party, he could clearly see his position on the map.

Also, there was only one cloaked figure who was casually dragging several large sacks all tied together as if it was no big deal to him.

So even among the sea of players, it only took one second to recognize him.

"Boss, shall I open the trade window?" Berat rubbed his hands in excitement and asked.

"Trade window?" Liam chuckled and shook his head. "Let's go to an inn."

"Hmmm… Moving around like this is not so convenient. I will finish that quest first and then everything should become simple."

"Which quest, boss?" Berat was curious, so he asked even though the other person was clearly talking to himself.

"Nothing. Nothing. You will soon know when I am done."

Liam walked to the inn while checking the other messages in the interface and saw that the group had been busy in his absence.

"I am here." He also sent a message. "Cancel your current run and assemble near Yleka city as soon as possible."

The two of them then arrived at the inn and Liam booked one of the rooms available. "Give me a bigger one." He asked specifically.

The mature woman at the reception gave both of them weird looks, but she handed over the key.

Liam did not seem to care but Berat mumbled with an awkward smile. "We are friends. We are friends." He then ran away behind the boss, following him to the room.

But as soon as he entered the room, he was immediately frozen solid and became a statue. The sight in front of them was simply too frightening.

"Boss…" Berat stuttered as he gulped and then realizing that the door was open, he quickly turned around to close the door behind him.

If someone else saw this, they would probably turn green from jealousy and chase after them without stopping.

Because inside the big inn room were several piles of glittering loot. He had never seen so many items at a single time in his entire life.

Berat gulped, licking his lips that had turned dry. He was excited earlier thinking that he would show off his skills and get amazing profits to impress the boss.

But now… that excitement was completely replaced with nervousness.

What profit? He was staring at a sea of items that could make or break even a first rate guild.

At this point, he would already be happy if he did not screw up and get his ass kicked out of the group.

To add to his dismay, Liam was still busy emptying out the sacks one after the other, increasing the piled up loot.

"Did I see these many sacks before or they just magically doubled?" Berat rubbed his eyes and stared at the mountain of loot again. It was freaking almost going to touch the ceiling!

"Boss… just what did you do to gather so many items in such a short time?" He mumbled, his voice not coming out.

Liam, on the other hand, was still busy emptying things out. Only after tossing the contents of the last sack onto the staggering pile, he turned to look at the guy.

He was literally shaking.

"This should keep you busy for a while, right?" He chuckled, seeing his pitiful expression. "What happened?"

"Boss… is it really okay to trust me with this?" Berat asked.

Huh? Weren't you the one who asked me the other day to give this job to you? Did you not want to gold farm in the auction house and take care of guild transactions?"

Liam narrowed his eyes to look at him. He was not fond of people wasting his time and going back on their words, so unknowingly his gaze turned cold.

This scared Berat even more and he took a step back in fear. "No. No. I wanted to… but…"

"But?" Liam tossed the empty bag in his hand to a side.

To do or not? It looked like he was doomed either way. So Berat hurriedly shook his head side to side. "No, boss. Nothing. Nothing. I will get it done." He resolutely declared.

He came here because he wanted to be someone and Liam also accepted him into his group, now he couldn't back out at the first sign of trouble. That would just be too shameful.

However, he also did not want to give Liam the wrong impression. "Boss, I might not be able to get a lot of profit for these."

He thought that it was better, to tell the truth outright, even though it might make the guy further angry.

But to his surprise, Liam's cold gaze disappeared and he walked forward to pat him on the back. "This was what you were worried about? Ha Ha Ha."

"Don't think too much. Your job is to literally put them on the auction house and sell them for a decent price. I really do not expect anything else."

"The only condition I have is the time. Get them sold by the end of the day."

Liam chuckled once again and left the room, leaving the guy to deal with everything else.

"Boss…" Berat was completely speechless. He was trusting him this much? He even made sure that he didn't feel too pressured? The boss was simply too good hearted!

He almost had tears in his eyes. He clenched his fist, determined to repay this trust.

He was not a weak person in general. He also thought that he was pretty confident. But in front of this much loot, anyone would sweat!

But now that he had recovered, he grunted and started forming a plan. It was his job to convert these piled up loot into gold and fill their guild coffers.

Berat did not dare waste any more time and began to work on the mountain of items. He took a deep breath and dived in.

Meanwhile…

Liam walked out of the inn onto the crowded streets. He decided to go after the Kingdom quest first and hence, he had called everyone over.

This was in fact, the third kingdom quest he would be attempting, the first one being the quest he had leeched off from Shen Yue, and the second one being the quest he had leeched off from Kouske.

This time, however, it was his own quest. Nevertheless, he called everyone over because both the previous times, the difficulty of the two quests was simply too high to handle.

He had only ended up successfully finishing the two of them because of special circumstances. So this time he wanted to be fully prepared.

Even if he got any unexpected surprises, he still wanted to be able to deal with them. That too, when he had the means, why not?

As Liam walked over to the outskirts of the Yleka city casually looking at the numerous stalls around him, and the crowded streets, he suddenly stopped walking.

He stood in front of a fast food vendor and was staring at the couple of rabbits and chickens that were caged in crates, ready to be freshly slaughtered and deep fried.

Not that he was feeling some kind of pity for them, he was rather thinking about something else.

These animals in front of him were the weakest, most basic beginner beasts in this entire realm. At his level, if he pats them, they would probably die.

But Liam continued to look at them and as he did, he couldn't help but think of the obvious. "How did I not factor this?"

Murmuring something to himself, he stepped forward and spoke to the stall vendor. "Sir, can I buy these 4 animals from you?"
