Chapter 1290 That''s cheating


    Liam instantly stiffened up, his entire body freezing. Yes, he had a slight fear of the aura that this woman had unleashed, an aura possessing a hint of something primordial. But that was not it. That was not what made him freeze. It was that voice again. Folloow current novE?ls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)


    The mere voice had made him freeze up as if it was a skill effect. It had a domineering presence like an Emperor that did not allow him to move.


    Liam''s face turned grave. This was not good. Why was this woman suddenly targeting him? Come near him and his group? They were all going to die right here and now?


    For some reason, the white fog once again picked up as it started covering the entire battlefield, almost as if it was helping them but it did not matter. The very next moment, the white fog cleared out as if it was nothing.


    In front of such an imperial presence, everything was nothing. They were all going to die right here and now if he did not do anything. Maybe he should sacrifice someone from his group. The elf. He was nothing but trouble and deep down Liam knew it. That''s right. If he sacrificed him, then all his problems would be solved.


    No. What was he thinking?


    Liam''s head felt as if it was going to burst. Even his thoughts were becoming sluggish and blurred. It was as if someone was toying with his head, with his thoughts. No. He could not allow things to continue in this manner. Summoning a jolt from somewhere deep inside his being, forcing it purely out of his will power, he snapped himself out of the stupor. His body that was frozen until now shuddered.


    Liam only let out a deep breath when he saw the familiar face of his fox pressed up against him. "Master!" Luna licked his face. "Master, did I miss out on some fun again?" The little fox mischievously asked, making Liam get goosebumps all over his body.


    "One second." He took a few more breaths and only then he was able to steady himself. He looked around to make sure everyone else was fine, and thankfully, the entire group seemed to be intact. Well, except for the dazed, horror filled look in their faces.


    Liam knew that they would take some time to recuperate so he summoned a few elven soul minions who had the ability to heal and make the environment a little more nourishing. They currently seem to have landed on some sort of arid basin with no immediate danger in the vicinity.


    The other good news was that the entire group was together which made their lives a little easier.


    Just as Liam was processing everything around him, he all of a sudden froze as his gaze shifted to the one other body lying on the ground right next to Madan, Lan Deming and Eldrin. It was a familiar face with a warm smile plastered on it.


    Rey was happily lying on the ground with a content expression on his face.


    "Heh." Liam chuckled. "I have greatly underestimated you. You are just like your sister, aren''t you? Talented and with an iron will. Your smile is also the same."


    "Thank you, big bro." Rey grinned, flashing his eyes open. "Did I do good?" He sat up straight, being the first one to recover from the aftereffects of the last trial. "I made sure that our group was well hidden and even made a few target other specific beings. He He."


    Liam nodded. He had already figured it out. The guy who was shrouded in mist and the person who had been good enough to cast a wide net spanning the width of the entire battleground was none other than Rey.
