Chapter 764 All Bets Are Off

While the entire Xion realm was in complete disarray over the announcement of the game shutdown, one fox alone blurred in and out of the clouds in the sky as she sped across the Kingdom, heading to the northernmost border.

Liam and Luna arrived at the Blasphemous Putrid dungeon safely in just a few minutes, thanks to the fox who was using her blur skill like there was no tomorrow. She had exhausted herself so much that when they arrived at the destination she was panting hard.

With a sigh, Liam patted her but he did not say anything else. He directly walked into the Level 80 dungeon and summoned his soul minions.

In an instant, the entire dungeon was flooded with all sorts of creatures. They seem to outnumber even the mobs that originally belonged to the dungeon.

All sorts of plagued creatures popped out of the nook and corners of the dungeon but the wyvern unit and the barbarian unit simply slaughtered everything in sight.

And since they were all of the undead race, the poisonous fumes of the dungeon did little to nothing to them. They completely ignored everything about the dungeon and cleared the whole place in just a few minutes.

Big chunks of experience points chimed in as this was a Level 80 dungeon after all and some of the soul minions levelled up but this was not why Liam had chosen this specific dungeon. He had selected it for its dark element attribute!

The dungeon was enriched in dark element and partially nether. Next to the nether realm, this was probably where he was strongest at the moment. This was exactly why he was here.

After he received the dungeon's clear notification and the vanity first clear announcement which rang loudly across the world informing them about his current location, he immediately dismissed his soul minions.

He was not particularly concerned about the system outing his location because first of all, he was in the dangerous northern terrain where several powerful creatures lurked. If anyone wanted to come here, it would require time and sufficient strength.

Moreover, there were only two and something hours left before the game shut down. If anyone still wanted to waste their remaining time and come find him for trouble, he wouldn't mind spending some seconds dealing with them and adding them to his army.

Nevertheless, he still dismissed his soul minions to head outside the dungeon. Not to stand guard and not let anyone lie in wait for him but to continue farming experience points by hunting in the area. Every second was precious right now so it had to be used to the fullest.

Meanwhile, Liam settled down in the dungeon itself and without any hesitation took out the stone tablet from his inventory.

The high priestess left these few items alone without tampering with them. Liam doubted if it was because she had forgotten about them. Rather she probably didn't have permission to meddle to that extent.

Though that person seemed to be in control of a lot of things, clearly she also had to follow certain rules and guidelines. Otherwise, Liam was pretty sure he wouldn't even be breathing at the moment. It would have taken her all of 2 seconds to completely erase him.

But he did not have time to figure these things out at the moment. What she was able to do and not able to do was none of his concern. He was alive and still breathing, he was here so he began his work.

He placed the stone tablet on the ground and the next second, the world around him started changing. He was back to the familiar barren terrain with nothing but a puddle of swirling fire essence.

Another puddle next to the fire essence puddle suddenly popped out and in this new one, dark element essence started accumulating bit by bit. The stone tablet had already begun its work! It had started refining the essence of the dungeon and storing it within.

Liam observed this and nodded in satisfaction. It was still working the same. She had really not been able to tamper with it at all.

"Even when she listed out all the strong points I had, she said nothing about this stone tablet and also the rabbit." Liam pondered out loud while rubbing his chin. "Did she think that I will forget about them just because she hadn't mentioned it?"

,m Maybe before he was cautious about using this stone tablet but now there were only 3 hours left! All bets were off! He was going to siphon off as many dungeons as possible if that was what was needed.

As the essence from the dungeon was slowly drained and absorbed by the stone tablet, Liam tried to sense the same and adjust his condition. However, there was still a problem. The concentration was not enough just yet.

"Damn it. This is too slow." He stood up and directly saw down right in the puddle. He then tried to sense his mana core and once again found himself staring at the shackles that held him down. This was it. This was why he was here.

Before he started the rest of his plan, he first tried to feel these shackles thoroughly and probed the full weight of their presence. He could only barely do it for a couple of seconds before his head started throbbing with pain.

How pitiful! This was his current status and within these three hours, he needed to get from here to completely shattering apart these shackles. How the hell was he going to do it?

Liam already knew that this was a difficult or rather probably an impossible task and he had no delusions about it.

But no matter how impossible it was, he was not going to give up. He was still going to give it his best shot! It was time to put his plan into motion and drag himself across that finish line come hell or high water!
