Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 782: Unbalanced

Floating high up in the sky, Liam and Luna gazed at the chaotic land that was sprawled beneath them. "Did we overdo it a bit?" Liam smiled.

He never expected that he would be able to forge so many soul minions and maintain them at the same time. He also hadn't hit his limit just yet.

However, these were simply souls forged from weak common beasts. So it made sense that his current capacity has not been filled.

After all, even thousands of these minions cannot be equal to the two dragon souls he had forged, both of which he had to sacrifice to heal his soul.

"I wonder how many more of these I can make." Liam quietly pondered. Though these were weak and seemingly did not possess that many benefits, there was a reason why he was investing time in them.

Like gold coins, dollar bills, or mana, soul power was also a currency. In times of dire need, he would be able to use these minions and their soul fragments.

At the same time, numbers were something Crimson Abyss always lacked.

Sure, the guild overall had a healthy member count, but if one looked at the number of members who had actually signed the contract, it was barely fifty thousand.

This was not nearly enough. To tackle this first wave and the ones after that, it was inevitable that they needed more numbers.

Also, in this new world, the beast wave was not the only thing he had to take into account. There were also the humans, the original occupants of this planet. He needed manpower to supervise them as well.

Taking these things into account, Liam decided to invest some time into this first. However, he did not know that all he needed was an hour. This was way too simple.

With a chuckle, he closed his eyes and tried to sense his soul minions that were spread across the land underneath him.

He still had a connection to each and every single one of them. He could vividly feel what they were doing, which enemy they were fighting against, and what was happening around them. It was as if they were an extension of himself.

Liam had only barely begun to get a feel for the first dozen minions when a sharp pain snapped him out of it. He even lost his balance and almost fell off Luna.

Kyuuu! The fox immediately panicked and supported him with one of her tails.

"It's fine. It's fine. I am alright." Liam steadied himself back up again.

It looked like even though he could theoretically sense all of his minions, his current ability to track them and their surroundings completely was a bit lacking.

He remembered his poor physical defense, and putting together what just happened, and he could only come to one conclusion. His body was terribly imbalanced.

"My soul strength should be stronger than what my body and mind can handle. The same goes for my mana core." He thought to himself. "Then there is also the issue of corruption."

Liam sighed and flopped onto the soft fur of the beast. He had no idea how he was going to accomplish any of this. He silently pondered for a few minutes, but then he decided to leave this aside for now.

There was no point in trying to think of solutions to problems he had no idea about. It was better to focus on what was at hand.

"Alright. Since these guys are good to go on their own, perhaps we should focus on the next thing on our to-do list."

Liam was about to give orders to Luna when he decided to sense a soul minion near the main group just to make sure that everything was proceeding smoothly.

However, as soon as he did, a frown appeared on his face. The vultures were here!

Standing around Alex and the rest of the group was a branch of the local police task force. Liam could also see some prominent people present along with them.

These were faces he had seen often on the local news channel. There were a few rich tycoons, some industrialists, and last but not least, there was also the mayor of the city.

The funny part was that these people had come over here instead of attending to the other areas of the city, which had been subjected to far more distress.

One could say that Liam's sector was the safest place at the moment, as he got a grip on things right from the beginning, not allowing even a single beast to pass him by.

So technically, there were zero casualties in this area, but lo and behold, every top authority person was assembled here. Not just them, but ambulances, heavy-weight guns, and weapons were all here.

Everyone was in top form and ready to launch into action with a clear chain of command in place. The only issue was that they were not needed here.

"Heh. This is happening sooner than I expected." Liam coldly sneered, but it was not time to intervene just yet.

And from the looks of it, there was no need to hurry either.

These newly arrived helpers only stood at a safe distance, with no intentions of taking charge any time soon. They looked quite content to stand back and simply watch the show.

"Let's go, Luna. Head back to the base."

The fox immediately started moving at top speed, and in no time, the duo arrived at the scene of action.

After stepping down from the fox, Liam paid no attention to the uninvited guests standing at the back. He ignored their shocked expressions and continued walking forward.

There was no need to strike up any conversation with these people just yet. Rather, he came here to see the beast corpses that were scattered around.

Treating the priceless spatial artifact as a simple storage ring, he casually started placing all of the beast corpses into the storage space one after the other.
