Chapter 1297 The fickle platforms

Taking into consideration the intensity of the auras that enveloped the platforms around them, Liam quickly sussed out a preliminary path for them. He was not sure if this was going to work but it was something to start with.

The group immediately prepared to move. No one doubted Liam's judgment and seconds could mean the difference between life and death here.

However, when the first person tried to jump across the platforms, something unexpected happened. Madan was sent right back, repelled by some kind of invisible barrier.

"No. That's not a barrier." Liam reached his hand out, feeling the palpable energy in his hand. It was very close to something he was familiar with and he instantly knew what to do. "This should be some sort of energy field. To cross, we have to use our dao fields."

Clearly, the Spire was not satisfied with simply pitting one trial taker against another, creating a massive slaughter trial. It also wanted to test out the qualifications of the survivors. Only those who were able to conjure an energy field strong enough to resist the energy that was sprawled around them would be qualified to survive. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Liam had no idea what this energy was. He hadn't come across this before but it was strong enough to make even him unable to simply blast through the gap.

As if this was not enough, there was another misfortune that had suddenly cropped up. To everyone's utter shock and dismay, some of the trial takers were going out of their way to destroy the platforms around them, leaving behind only a scant few for their personal use.

"Fucking bloodsuckers!" Eldrin gnashed his teeth. The number of platforms was already dwindling at a frightening pace and on top of this, the vampires seemed to be hell-bent on destroying everything that they could.

"What the hell are these lunatics doing? Bloody asseaters! I bet the Spire is throwing out these ridiculous trials because of these bastards! They are purposefully doing something shady!" Rey glared at the group of vampires closest to them. Not one of them seemed nervous about surviving this trial which ticked him off further. However, Eldrin suddenly froze as if he heard something odd. The elf realized something. The human youngling was not wrong. It was almost as if the Spire was making the run extra difficult on purpose. While surviving right now might seem like a dire predicament, the rewards that awaited them would most probably make them drool.

Was this good luck or bad luck? And was this because of the army of vampire elites who seemed to be running through the Spire at the same time as them or perhaps was it because of a single person who was treating a Spire like a local dungeon and speed running through it?

The elf couldn't help but glance at Liam again who was once more adeptly conjuring another dao field like it was nothing. Did he have infinite reserves of energy pool? His efficiency in conjuring the damn thing was through the roof! What a monster!

Ignoring the elf's pointed look, Liam continued to weave through the platforms one after the other. If one crumpled he chose another and continued to push forward. He was used to working with low amounts of mana so it wasn't too tiring for him to use the least amount of energy to create the weakest dao fields and keep pushing forward. But... Rumble... Rumble...

Their path was once again shifted and this time the Spire had brought them right next to a vampire group!

From the looks of it both the groups had their paths cut off and now only one can progress forward!
