Re: Evolution Online



The moment Liam entered this fight, he already knew that everything would come down to this. Even after he had taken out all of his cards it was still not enough. After all, the opponents he was facing were not ordinary. 

However, Liam started this fight only because he was prepared to do whatever was necessary. 

If he lost here, then the divine temple high priestess would win. If he won here, then the divine temple high priestess would still win. There was no way for him to come out on top. So he might as well take the risky route and gamble everything on his own strength and ability.

Liam flew up as he dodged the next laser attack from the crocodile and the simultaneous tail whip by the snake. He then sucked in a big breath of air and commanded the air around him.

The next instant, hundreds of pitch black arrows materialized around him and shot forward towards the three guardian beasts. 

Earlier when Liam had fallen back and taken a beating, his plan was to not just separate the three guardian beasts but also to move the whole battle to a place where the nether array was active.

Now they were no longer standing in the dry, arid desert region. They were standing on his domain. They were standing on death and decay. They were standing on the land corrupted with nether.

For the first time, the three guardian beasts fumbled as they did not expect countless nether arrows to rain on them. The attack was endless. Liam effortlessly commanded the energy that was seeping into everything around them and conjured one batch of arrows after another.

However, things did not change. While this attack might be enough to destroy an army of lesser beasts, these were guardian beasts with the blessings of the world spirit. A mere superficial attack was not enough to damage their defenses.

"Come on." Liam took another deep breath. The air crackled with raw energy as he commanded the nether around him to intensify. He channeled nether through his body to manipulate the energy to form dense and deadly arrows.

This time he conjured another wave of pitch-black arrows, but these were imbued with ten times more energy than the previous ones.

The arrows materialized in the air, their sheer numbers creating a relentless barrage that rained down upon the guardian beasts. Just their mere presence was enough to make the land emanate a palpable aura of death and decay.

As the second wave of pitch-black arrows descended upon the guardian beasts, the very fabric of the surroundings seemed to shudder. 

The corruptive power of the nether infused every arrow, amplifying their potency to unprecedented levels. The air crackled with a malevolent energy, and the land beneath trembled in response to the unleashed chaos.

The serpent, frog, and crocodile found themselves trembling by the intensified assault. Their souls flickered momentarily, struggling to withstand the onslaught. Scales cracked and shattered, and the guardian beasts recoiled, their once-imposing forms temporarily destabilized.

Liam seized the opportunity. With each breath, he drew in the ambient nether, fueling his own power. His control over the energy became refined, allowing him to manipulate it with unparalleled precision.

He then unleashed a torrential storm of nether-infused arrows. They rained down upon the guardian beasts, tearing through their defenses and leaving trails of darkness in their wake. The very air seemed to vibrate with an ominous energy as the arrows sought their marks.

This time the guardian beasts' defenses could no longer hold up. As the arrows pierced them, the three beasts howled in agony. They erected their defensive maneuvers hurriedly. 

The snake covered itself with several layers of shimmering scales. The frog entered into some sort of viscous bubble that blocked the arrows. The crocodile covered itself with a glowing brown barrier that prevented any damage to its body.

But Liam was not done yet. Once he was in it, he might as well go all out. He had already decided to win this fight, no matter what the cost might be. 

He dug deeper and tapped into the depths of his own essence. The nether around him responded, swirling and coiling like a tempest of darkness.

With an unbridled power consuming him, he channeled the concentrated nether into his next attack. He unleashed a devastating wave of pure darkness.

The wave crashed upon the guardian beasts with unrelenting force, enveloping them in an abyss of malevolent energy. 

The land itself seemed to groan beneath the weight of the unleashed power. The guardian beasts thrashed and roared, their forms distorted by the consuming darkness.

Liam heaved and panted as he watched this spectacle of destruction.

With every passing moment, the three guardian beasts faltered, their once-indomitable strength waning. The corruption of the nether gnawed at their very essence, sapping their very being and leaving them vulnerable.

The serpent's form convulsed, wracked with agonizing pain, before finally succumbing to the onslaught. Its life force burned. Its body disintegrated into a swirling mass of shadows, dissipating into nothingness. 

The frog's bubble burst, its protective shield shattered, and it collapsed, its visage twisting in anguish. Its huge body visibly decayed. The crocodile's barrier flickered and failed, leaving it exposed and defenseless. Its soul wailed in agony as it succumbed to the overwhelming darkness.

As the last remnants of the guardian beasts faded away, Liam stood amidst the aftermath of his unleashed power. The air was heavy with the remnants of the nether, swirling and dancing around him like a sinister mist.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence, the oppressive aura of death and decay lifting from the land. Liam stood, his body battered and weary. He wobbled a little and then lost his balance as he started rapidly plummeting to the ground.

But before he could crash, one of the wyverns swooped down, catching Liam in its powerful claws. The wyvern's wings beat the air as it gracefully carried him back to solid ground.
