Re: Evolution Online Chapter 772 What Is He Doing?

Liam held onto anything and everything that he could and continued struggling against the sword.
He knew that even though he was suffering here, his time was also constantly running out. He needed to get through this faster. That hadn't changed.
But something else had changed.
Unfortunately, he was no longer hidden from the outside world. The moment the dungeon collapsed, two pairs of eyes fell on him as they gaped at him in amazement and astonishment.
"What is he doing?" Mia gasped, for the first time showing some sort of emotion on her face. Her reaction surprised the golden knight, and he quickly dashed toward the mirror to take a look.
Though he wanted to leave this insect alone if something unexpected happens, he couldn't face the high priestess, so he ended up staying back and observing him after all.
He had handed over a few of his tasks to his underlings and was back in the hall where the viewing mirror was located.
And now, he was thanking his lucky stars that he made this decision. Because the scene in front of him was frightening, to say the least.
"What is he doing?" Mia repeated the same words as if she was mesmerized.
"He is… he is increasing his soul strength." The golden knight stammered. He assumed that the person would simply be creating as many soul minions as possible, but he did not expect this.
This human being had actually unlocked another seal of the soul weapon, knowing full well that he couldn't handle it. There could only be one reason for it.
The golden knight was so sure of it because he could feel it.
The first-order human being was slowly becoming closer and closer to a second-order human being. His soul strength was steadily skyrocketing!
All of this only pointed to one thing. The human being in front of him was breaking himself down and healing himself back up again! Repeatedly!
This was something that he could not even fathom. It might be a simple concept, but the pain involved was extraordinary. A person could lose their mind in this process. It required true resolve and determination to commit to something like this.
As the golden knight explained what was happening, Mia placed her hand on her chest. There was something stirring within her, a small memory.
Was he insane to choose a training method like this? She felt her heart pounding as if she already knew that this man would go to any lengths to achieve what he wanted.
Not only she but the golden knight also had a look of reverence on his face. Even though this was his enemy, he couldn't help but want to respect him at this moment. He even found himself rooting for him to succeed.
However, it was only for a second.
He quickly shook his head and snapped out of it. What was going on here? Would this person really succeed? If he becomes a second-order human being, then…
"Damn it." The golden knight gritted his teeth in annoyance. All that was left was ten minutes! Just ten minutes! Why couldn't he just stay put?
There were only ten more minutes left, and this damned insect was still hell-bent on causing him a headache.
No. He couldn't let this happen. Under no circumstance could he be allowed to succeed.
For her eminence, the priestess, he needed to stop this at all costs.
Knowing full well that there would be consequences for this, the golden knight summoned a system interface in front of him and stared at it. It displayed the map of the Gresh Kingdom. He knew what he had to do.
But now was not the time.
By now, he had a good understanding of the person in front of him. If he intervened now, then somehow, he might still survive and come out on top.
The human being in front of him was a resilient little pest. He should not underestimate him. So now was not the time.
He needed to wait for the opportune moment, and when he finally struck and made his move, that human being should not be able to get up again.
The golden knight rubbed his chin as he patiently continued watching Liam twitch and wither in pain. His gaze observed every little detail to ensure that he would not miss it.
The countdown timer was also running non-stop. The ten minutes were now five minutes. There were only barely five minutes left for the game to shut down.
"Maybe I don't even need to interfere?" He mused to himself, but as if his words had jinxed it, the human being in front of him suddenly started showing signs of a breakthrough.
The sword mist that was completely overpowering up until now was now becoming less and less violent. If he was correct, then Liam should be on the cusp of subduing the weapon.
The moment he was waiting for was here!
"Die!" The golden knight immediately swiped his interface and then clicked on something. His gaze then shifted back to the viewing mirror as he watched the scene with renewed interest and a confident grin.
Meanwhile… near the Rock Temple dungeon, or at least the place where the dungeon previously used to be… something stirred.
A strange creature reared its head up in the Gresh Kingdom's northern mountain range.
This creature was sleeping at the depth of the mountain range, dust and cobwebs surrounding it as if it was unperturbed for decades.
However, at this moment, its slit-like eyes sprang open without any warning.
The next instant, it moved, and its humungous body blurred. In a second, it broke the layers and layers of hard earth above it and drilled its way to the surface, raising its gigantic head.
This creature was now standing right in front of Liam, and its slit-like eyes were locked onto him.
