Chapter 781 All In An Hour’s Work

Liam wondered if he could really sense the souls of these creatures outside the game. This would be his first time trying something like that, and a part of him was a bit nervous.

He took a deep breath and first used his own soul as a reference. As soon as he got a feel for it, he could immediately grasp the familiar sensation of the energy.

"That's it. Right there."

He flashed his eyes open, and as if some switch within him had flipped, he was instantly able to see the faint dots of soul fragments.

With a grin, he then quickly reached for the beast souls in front of him. Without any effort, he was able to feel the soul energy within these slowly dissipating soul fragments.

They were weak and negligent when compared to the powerful souls he had recently dealt with, but they were unmistakably the same soul fragments he had been tinkering with all this time inside the game. Just like the mana in the air around him, this one also did not change one bit.

Liam took another breath and then calmly commanded the dozen souls all at the same time. Mana hammers appeared around these souls, again at the same time.

And as for the forging process… it required no more than a single glance from beginning to end. The dozen miscellaneous beasts immediately appeared as soul minions right next to their corpses.

"Go. Hunt down every beast in sight." Liam indifferently commanded. He then hopped back on Luna and proceeded to move on to the next bungalow.

The same scene repeated there as well. Once again, another dozen miscellaneous soul minions were created.

Liam did not hold back and continued to do so for the next few minutes. After only fifteen minutes, a second small army of fifty soul minions was formed. The only difference was that these minions were extremely weak.

However, he did not care about that right now. He had a few minions of quality. Now he was focusing a bit on quantity. After all, this beast wave was perfect for achieving something like that.

There were plenty of beasts available for taking, and he wanted to see just how much he could handle at the moment. He wanted to push himself.

He might be powerful now, but that was temporary. He knew just how powerful his enemy was. What's worse was that there might be even more powerful beings that he didn't know about.

To get to their level, he had to push himself constantly. There was no other way. He had to be proactive even when the situation did not call for it. Only then would he be able to prepare for the future. He always needed to think ten or fifty steps ahead.

Besides, these cannon fodder could always be used as soul-healing medicine when he needed it.

Liam made himself busy, and soon the fifty turned into a hundred. His soul minions started running wild through the city, actively hunting down the beasts that came their way.

This instantly reduced the pressure on the city, and the beasts coming out of the gate no longer reached more than a few yards before they were taken out.

"Heh. Whether in-game or not, the beast horde is extremely valuable for leveling up!" Liam observed the new chaos with satisfaction. His work here was done for now.

He could still sense his soul minions back at their base, so he decided to travel some more distance. Luna ballooned up again, and the duo set off for their next destination.

However, they couldn't stretch this limit beyond a certain point. Before they hit the next gate, Liam had already lost the connection with his soul minions.

"So 50 km is still my current limit, huh... not bad." The duo paused at this boundary and stared back at the vast distance they had covered.

"This is going to be our first territory, Luna." Liam indifferently muttered. "Go up."

Kyu! Fast as an arrow, Luna ascended, and the two of them swiveled around to survey the landscape below. Six enormous gates glittered under the dark, stormy skies.

Liam grinned at this sight. He was like an emperor looking down on the peasants. The gates that once terrified him were nothing more than a plaything for him right now.

"Come on. There is work to be done. Let's pay each of these gates a visit to begin with."

Marking the entire circumference as their territory, the duo shot forward to the rest of the gates as well. They stopped at each one, and Liam created another four armies of a hundred minions each, bringing his total to almost a whopping 700.

The amount of work put forth, however, was ridiculous. The entire thing only took him about an hour. With Luna blurring in and out of the sky and Liam forging the souls at the snap of his finger, they barely had to do anything to achieve this feat.

However, what was nothing to him was everything to others. As Liam created more and more soul minions on his whim, the entire city and the surrounding areas immediately became less chaotic.

The number of casualties dramatically dropped. People who were going insane calmed down a little. Beasts were not knocking at their doors anymore, and people were not getting mauled left and right on the street.

But they did experience something else. Everyone saw strange, translucent bluish-white creatures running around rampant.

These looked just like the other beasts, but they were surprisingly fighting with the beasts coming out of the weird purple circle that had popped out of nowhere.

Even though they looked just as scary as the others, no one was brave enough to face these new minions. They simply left one enemy to fight with the other enemy and started running here and there for their safety.

The only issue was that nothing seemed safe anymore!
