Chapter 272 Liam, The Summoner of the Millennia! Part-1.

Tournament Day 4, right after Rio and Lia's match.

Liam's waiting room.

"Whoa!This guy really ended up defeating her..."

Liam was quite surprised when he saw Rio defeat Lia, even after she had powered up so much.

"What do you think, Kazto? How did he do that? Didn't you say that she was predicting his moves... What happened here then?"

Liam tilted his head toward the room's ceiling, and an eerie-looking, chimera-like creature appeared in his vision.

"Wait, what are you doing there? Get down!"

The three-foot-tall chimera immediately let go of the ceiling and jumped down.

The chimera stood on its two horse-like legs and stroked its oversized and deformed octopus head with his gorilla-like hands.

The bat-like wings of the creature shrank behind its back as it used telepathy to communicate. (Kazto looks so horrifying that people might get nightmares just by looking at him...)

"Hmm,... I think he has some kind of skill that can block prediction... I would need to see it happen with my own eyes to figure things out in more detail though..."

Hearing Kazto's words, Liam nodded his head. He leaned his back against the couch and mumbled in a quiet voice.

"Sword intent, super-fast speed and reaction time, amazing swordsmanship skills, and a mysterious skill that can protect him... Moreover, he doesn't even flinch from pain or anything..."

Kazto, listening to Liam's mumbles, tilted his deformed and odd-looking head slightly and said,

"Master... This person is going to be a formidable opponent... Your chances of meeting him in the semi-finals are 1/3..."

Liam also nodded his head at those words.

"Yeah, his fourth match is already over; next he will fight tomorrow in the semi-finals... And if I win today's match, I might end up fighting him tomorrow...."

Liam has easily won all of his previous matches, and if he triumphs in today's match, he will advance to the semi-finals.

"But seriously.... the semi-finals are where things will get the most serious..."

"I am quite sure that Link will win his match too, so he will reach the semi-finals, and then there's the elven princess Vanya; she isn't weak either..."

Observing the earnest expression on Liam's face, Kazto said,

"Worry not, master, I can formulate quite a few plans for you..."

Liam sighed and nodded his head.

[Tch! Why are you listening to that deformed b*stard... I can make better plans than him, Master!]

Seeing that Liam was having such a quality time with his other summoned beast, Ellie was irritated.

Due to the tournament rules, Liam hasn't summoned Ellie for quite a while now, and she is annoyed by this fact.

[If I were summoned, I wouldn't bother using tricks and plans! I will blast off your enemies with overwhelming strength!]

All of Liam's summoned beasts have connections with him directly; thus, Kazto also heard what Ellie just said, so he couldn't help but refute.

"Uh, you shouldn't rely on brute strength for everything; planning and strategy making can also bring amazing results-"

Before Kazto could finish his words, Ellie cut him off and said,

[Hmph! Who cares! I can simply do it with my strength! Also, from now on, call me Senior Ellie! I was summoned first!]

Just when the two were arguing, Liam rubbed his head.

'Ugh, are all my summons defective? Why do they fight among each other like that?'

In frustration, Liam had no choice but to use his trump card against the two.

"You two... If you don't stop fighting, there will be no dinner for you today!"

Both Kazto and Ellie were taken aback by Liam's words, and then they started to throw tantrums.

"Nooo~~ It was senior Ellie who started it first!!"

[This shameless, weird octopus! I will throw you in the sewer!!]

That is Liam's strongest weapon, 'Azazel's dreaming heart'.

That weapon caused a lot of trouble, even for Rio, during the group survival event. (Go to ch-102, for its detailed information's...)

[Isn't it overkill to use that weapon on that weak archer girl?]

Even Ellie was taken aback after seeing Liam bring out that weapon from his storage ring.

"Nah... I have a feeling.... That Elven archer is not as weak as she pretends to be... My intuition has always been accurate..."

Seeing the serious look on Liam's face, Ellie stopped talking. She knew that once Liam had made his mind, he wouldn't change his decisions so easily, even if she were the one to persuade him.

[Sigh~ okay then... Although I can't assist you in person, I will enhance your magic as usual...]

[Good luck, Liam...]

Hearing Ellie say his name directly, a smile appeared on Liam's face, and he felt more confident than ever before.

'Yeah, let's do it!'

Liam walked into the stadium grounds and reached the center, keeping his face calm.

Renna also arrived at the same time, and she stared at him with a tense look on her face.

Seeing that tense expression, Liam smiled a bit and said,

"We met again... Last time, I was rude, didn't finish the duel between us, and got teleported before it ended... So, let's finish it properly this time..."

Renna let go of her tense expression after hearing Liam's words, and nodded her head.

"Yeah, I nearly beat you last time, but you ran away, so let's settle the score now..."

'I was expecting him to be rude, but he's a decent person, it seems...'

Renna had heard a lot of bad rumors about Liam's father, and she was thinking that Liam might be as bad a person as his father.

But after Liam's greeting, she figured out that she was wrong.

Her observation skills as an archer told her that Liam isn't that bad a guy.

...

Fun Fact:

During the fifty-year orc war, Neo once forced many orcs to become his summoned beasts.

This was such a great taboo that the whole alliance condemned his actions, and he had to let go of those orcs. (He was using them like Sl*ves...)

Neo's reputation has consistently been the lowest among all SS-rankers in the world due to his numerous strange actions.

He has many weird titles like 'Unreasonable beast spammer!', 'shrewd fox', 'devil's toungue', etc. And the fact is, Neo doesn't even bother clearing up his reputation; he's actually quite satisfied with his bad reputation.

(That's also why he dares not come to the 'meeting of gods' as he has offended a lot of people... even the peace-

loving Elven race doesn't like him at all...)
