Chapter 856 Milking Dry

Once Jonathan was taken care of, Liam urgently erected another soul barrier, but as he did so, he realized that it was no longer required. The blood summon stood still as if she did not have the energy to move anymore.

The next second, the woman crumbled and collapsed lifelessly into a puddle of blood, all splashing onto the battleground without any owner to command it.

"Fuck! That was close!" Liam immediately grabbed onto Jonathan's soul, which had already started to dissipate slowly.

He commanded the soul to condense once more, and without wasting any time, he forged the damn thing. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Several dozens of vampires still rushed towards him, but he simply shook his head at these grunts and sent out a storm of raging fire, burning down everything around him alive.

"Luna!" He called as the fox blurred and reached him in an instant. She was already close to him, and it took her only a second. 

Liam then calmly hopped on top of the fox and lay down. As far as he was concerned, this war was already over.

And just in time too. He was completely out of mana.

Huff. Huff. Huff. He tiredly took a few deep breaths as he stared at the sky above him, his mind completely blank.

That really was a close save!

Even though he did not mean to underestimate the opponent, he also did not expect the sleaze bag uncle to possess an ability like this. 

Apart from the physical enhancement, the guy also possessed a weapon and the ability to summon a strange creature of blood, both of which were clearly powerful. 

The idiot did not know how to use them properly. Otherwise, things might have gotten a lot more troublesome.

Liam closed his eyes and opened them again after silently collecting his thoughts. What if the next enemy possessed a set of skills like this but actually knew how to use them?

This really was far too close for his comfort. His strength. It was not enough. He needed to become stronger. Otherwise, this world was once again going to swallow him whole.

He continued to rest on Luna and waved his hand, and started forging the remaining souls.

It took another few minutes for the war to come to an end as all the vampires did not give up and rallied against his soul minions even as they died one after the other. 

They also did not seem to care that their 'god' had died.

They simply continued fighting and attacking, with their blood lust getting the better of them. 

It was as if they could no longer think because if they could, they would have already surrendered and run away from the battlefield.

However, that was their problem. Liam did not care about it and kept on collecting as many vampire souls as he possibly could. Finally, he seemed to hit his limit at soul minion number 1465.

When he forged the 1466th minion, a searing pain assaulted him, and he could no longer hold that soul. The forged minion simply dissipated into nothingness or rather hung around as soul dots.

In fact, the soul shield he had used earlier, which was now damaged and destroyed, was still not completely erased. The soul dots still lingered around.

"So the fairies are indeed collecting the souls." Liam coldly gazed at the soul miasma that had gathered in the air around him from all the corpses that were piling up.

He tried absorbing some of it, but his own soul wasn't damaged, so he couldn't absorb anything or rather did not know how to. He only knew the technique to absorb the souls when his own was actually damaged.

He then called some of his summons and started fusing them together to make room for more, but that did not help too much as he was only able to forge another thirty souls and then reached the limit once again.

"Hmmm?" Liam frowned as he quietly gazed at the abundance of soul energy overflowing all around him. The snarky face of the fairy came to his mind, and the thought that he would be leaving behind all of this to that arrogant bitch gave him a bad aftertaste.

The war was also about to come to an end. There were only a few hundreds of vampires still left. So he did not have too much time to figure out a solution.

"Hmm… Tsk. Do I really have to leave behind all of these precious souls?" He clicked his tongue when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something very important.

He might not have his black beads still with him, but there was something else that he had.

With a big grin, he reached into his spatial artifact, and took out an object that was capable of absorbing anything he threw at it, the stone tablet!

Liam jumped down from the fox and placed the stone tablet on the battleground. Immediately, the miraculous treasure started doing its deed like clockwork.

All the vampire souls on the battleground started getting pulled toward the stone tablet. The thing sucked everything around like a vortex.

When Liam observed closely, he could also see the mana in the air being sucked dry.

Heh. He grinned in satisfaction. Now, these souls were his!

However, he knew that this small victory over the fairy, in fact, came at a price. 

He might have prevented her from reaping the souls that belonged to him, but in the process, he also revealed to her more about the stone tablet which was in his possession.

"Hmmm. Can she even see what is happening inside here? Can the others?" 

Liam couldn't help but wonder if his battle here effectively showcased to the entire world everything single skill that he possessed. His face changed as this thought crossed his mind.

While this was bound to happen one day or the other, he did not want it to happen this soon.

"Well, I guess I couldn't have helped it." Liam shrugged.

Even though he had to reveal a few things, he couldn't let these many souls simply go to someone else's hands, not when he had a bigger need for them.

More than worrying about this, he was far more concerned about how to take his soulmancer class skills a step further.

Watching all the vampires get empowered had actually given him an idea. It would be very practical and boost his strength several times over if he could also get a skill like that.

Especially now that he almost had a total of 1490 soul minions, if he could empower each and every single one of them, then the result would increase his battle power tremendously.

"I wonder if the magic shop has any skills like this." Liam decided to work on this once he got out of the battleground.
