1026 Only one King is allowed!
The red hive hill!
Liam stilled for a second. Naturally, he had read something about this red hive hill in the guild communications channel. He had also read that the other team had taken care of it.
At first, he suspected that something was off, but he had personally visited that area and checked the hive hill. It was indeed destroyed, as it was mentioned on the communications channel.
Because of this and because of the other pressing matters that occupied his mind like the three zones where the hive hill had completely burst open, in the end he had forgotten about this red hive hill.
At least it was not his top priority to check the same terrain again to make sure that it was completely taken care of. However, now it was clear to him that he had overlooked something important.
"Where was that hive?" Liam turned to look at the Oracle.
"In Germany..." The other party mumbled.
"I guess we are paying a visit to Germany then." Liam cracked his neck and prepared to leave. "You three better come with me." He then paused and smirked. "Or would you prefer to be buried here for eternity?"
His chilling voice made the Oracle and the Monk jump up and quickly stand next to him. As for the dragon princess, she silently smiled and walked over, humming a tune.
Compared to the two, who were shaking and trembling, she looked like she was en route to a nice Sunday picnic.
"Say... just how strong is your soul manipulation technique at the moment?" She walked closer to Liam and used her finger to touch the intangible shield that still covered him.
"You have now been holding the shield for almost ten minutes continuously, it is really impressive." She let out a sultry moan. "To be able to do this, you must have a big, thick... soul, I mean." She snickered. 2
Liam ignored her and then hopped onto Luna. As for the other three, he summoned a wyvern to act as a ride. Naturally, this evoked several comments from the group, but Liam did not pay attention to them.
His entire focus was on this so-called King. Just how strong would this insect be?
Soon the group arrived at the magic shop and teleported to their destination on Liam's dime.
It only took them a couple of minutes to arrive in Germany, and once they were here, the draconian princess again opened her mouth.
There was also a mysterious new spring in her steps. She waltzed in front of Liam and stopped him by leaning on him with her voluptuous mounds pressed against his chest.
"He He He! I can finally touch you, you little brat." She teased him with her forked tongue sticking out, heading straight for his lips.
However, her gaze with the golden glint lingered around the strange crystal ball hanging on Liam's neck, and her hand reached out to touch the thing.
"Stop messing around," Liam muttered in annoyance and pushed the woman away.
"Ahhh! You are so mean!"
"And look who is suddenly so gutsy. Are you not scared of this big sister anymore? Is this because of the shop's protection? Ha Ha Ha. So predictable."
Even though she had stated the obvious, the other two suddenly gasped. Only now did they realize that they were also momentarily safe from Liam, and he couldn't harm them inside the shop even if he wanted to.
As if he could read their thoughts, Liam bluntly reminded them, pouring cold water on their ideas. "l can always hunt you down after you leave. In fact, I suggest you leave. I like hunting."
Seeing the look on his face, the two of them shivered.
"Mr. Liam, I am not planning to go anywhere. My place from now onward is only next to you." The Oracle awkwardly cleared his throat and salvaged the situation.
The other guy, however, was not as quick to accept his fate. "Good Sir, l am just a monk, a man of cloth, why would you-"
Unfortunately for him, no one at the moment was paying any attention to him.
Liam had already walked out, followed by the Oracle and the draconian princess. Sighing, the monk also could only follow them. Everyone remained silent, engrossed in their own thoughts.
But the second Liam crossed the threshold of the magic shop, taking just a single step outside, the draconian princess all of a sudden started laughing like a lunatic.
"Brat, now you are done for!" She flashed Liam a wicked smile.
"Hmmm? What do you mean?" Liam paused in his tracks.
Naturally, he had already summoned a soul shield around him and Luna, so they at least had the time and the chance to head back to the shop for protection in the worst-case scenario.
So what was this crazy bitch laughing about?
"What? You still don't understand? The minute you stepped foot here, your fate was already sealed. Who did you think the Ison King was? Your usual immature insect?"
"Brat, he is a level 500 King!"
"Have you even touched Level 100 yet? What do you think someone like you can do to a Level 500 monster? And now that you have stepped foot here, he has already sensed you."
"You can no longer run or hide. He will be after you like a rabid hound, not stopping until either you die or become his meal! Ha Ha Ha!"
"And now you have no other choice except to sign a contract with me. Ha Ha Ha!"
"Level 500? Impossible!" Liam's face changed.
Before he even thought about whether what the woman was spewing was the truth or not, he acted fast and first stepped back into the magic shop, entering the protective space.
It was also right on time.
The very next second, something shifted in the distance, and before anyone could even blink, a monstrous creature appeared in front of him, something that did not even resemble an ison anymore...
