Re: Evolution Online

"Not bad." Liam's gaze wandered over the guild group that was working their asses off a few feet ahead of him. 

Naturally, he was still resting and did not show any inclination to act just yet. He was simply observing how the various members of the guild had improved and what was their current level.

To his surprise, within seconds, he already found an unexpected development. There was a new person who had managed to rise above the group.

The healer from the Korean group was shockingly pulling her weight in the fight.  contemporary romance

Kang Minah had improved a lot when compared to her performance from before.

After she had seen Alex learn the two divine skills, she immediately made sure to climb onto the same wyvern the redhead was traveling and discussed with her some of the doubts she had the entire time they had traveled here.

The duo spammed healing spells on the bunch of people that were sitting next to them and were constantly discussing and trying to figure out the skills.

Though Kang Minah was not a born genius like Mia, and she couldn't pick up the healing skills so quickly, she did manage to refine some of her already existing divine-type attack skills, namely, [Divine Arrow], [Divine Blast] and [Divine Surge].

Out of this, [Divine Arrow] was a single-target attack, while [Divine Blast] and [Divine Surge] were multi-target attacks. 

She also very strategically used these multi-target, area-of-effect attacks in coordination with Alex's divine shield to deal a greater amount of damage.

This single action brought her on par with the other damage toppers as her damage output soared tremendously. She was also racking kills and experience points at a frightening speed.

The other Korean members of her old team, Chung Hee and Kim Hyun, couldn't help but look at Kang Minah enviously as she was, without a doubt pulling ahead of them. 

The girl who had been silent and low-key all this time used this chance to take a step further and become an integral member of the group.

Not just Kang Minah but several other silent members of the guild were slowly starting to shine in this fight to reclaim their honor. Liam nodded in approval as he observed everybody's efforts.

Snuggling her head close to him, Luna arrogantly scoffed at the hardworking group. "Master, I can do better." She chimed in with her trademark smug yet cute voice.

As if agreeing with her, the wyverns all shook their heads one after another, raising their noses up to the sky and snorting arrogantly. 

Pffft… Liam couldn't control his laughter at this weird scene and ended up laughing loudly. "Yes, yes. You guys are the best." He patted Luna as he shifted his attention back to the guild.

In truth, the Crimson Abyss guild members right now were not performing any less than these monsters around him. They might not pull as much damage as Luna or the wyverns, but they were putting up quite a good fight and had already killed a huge number of isons.

If his estimate was correct, they had brought down the swarm size to almost three-fourths of its original size. This was a considerable achievement, especially in this setting where they were clearly outnumbered.

However, even last time, they were able to perform this well. So why did they fail? It was because of this same overwhelming difference in numbers and the accumulation of the poison attacks.

Was that going to change this time around? Now that they had already been fighting for five minutes straight, the second major hurdle would slowly start to show once again!

This was the stamina factor that was quickly depleted with every attack.

"Hmmm… How are you guys planning to get over this hurdle?" Liam silently watched the group while observing each and every single member's actions.

All of a sudden, he stiffened up as his gaze fell on someone unexpected, someone who should not have been here, Lily, Derek's sister.

"When did she get here?" Liam immediately became tense. Since he was occupied by several thoughts, he did not pay attention earlier to every single person who had joined the training trip.

However, now that he observed the group more carefully, especially the ones who were lagging behind, he saw the woman who should not be here right now.

"Damn it." Liam gritted his teeth. He already felt personally responsible for Derek's mysterious disappearance from the PVP tower, and now another member of his family was also in danger.

"No, this won't do." He quickly stood up, preparing to barge into the crowd and take action, when he noticed that the young woman was really trying her best.

She was panting and heaving, with her big chest rising up and down with every single one of her actions, and her tender pale face was completely rosy with precipitation.

​ Even more shocking was the fact that she seemed to have somehow learned to control mana in such a short amount of time. She was only doing small attacks, that too every now and then, but she was undoubtedly casting fireballs.

For someone who had never stepped foot into the tutorial game, this was very impressive. Liam stopped himself and sat back down, deciding not to interfere.

He wanted to protect her at all costs, just like he was protecting his own sister, but if she wanted to become stronger, then he would respect that as well. 

After all, if Derek had been here right now, then he would have done so much more for his family. The least Liam could do was to supervise her while she trained along with the guild.

With a sigh, Liam once again continued observing everyone. Soon, the situation that he foresaw was slowly beginning to unfold in front of him.

The guild's momentum, which looked unstoppable as they brought down dozens after dozens of isons with every attack, was slowly starting to wane.
