"I'm so tired. Are we there yet?" Liam slouched on Luna's back while the white fox zoomed ahead at lightning speed, heading back to the magic shop they had teleported to an hour ago.
They'd been at it for almost ten hours now, taking down a total of 5 hive hills. With the three from earlier, they'd managed to demolish 8 of those things all by themselves.
In fact, by now, they were already out of the China mainland. They were in other parts of the territory where the rest of Asia was mushed together haphazardly.
Perhaps in a non-apocalyptic world, this would have been an amazing way of sightseeing, but now there were only overgrown trees and plants sprawled everywhere.
The places where once concrete jungles prevailed were now completely taken over by the unruly wilderness.
And in the midst of this wilderness, the duo had picked off two hive hills from China, one from Mongolia, and two other hive hills from the southern parts of Russia.
Things were proceeding smoothly so far. The pace was average, and they had gained a lot on these trips as well.
When Liam arrived at a specific hive hill, he always followed the same technique. He activated his [Stealth] skill and dashed toward the hive hill, giving it his all with the single overpowered, colossal skill.
His power-packed punches destroyed everything in sight, including both the powerful and the weaker isons. However, "weaker" was a relative term. As the hours ticked by, even the weaker ones were touching Level 40 and Level 50 little by little.
Though this was an alarming evolution rate and something that he should be concerned about, for now, it was only helping him accrue more and more experience points.
Moreover, Liam was not sharing his experience points with any of his minions, except for Luna. She also received very little as she was quite far away from the scene of action to avoid the calamitous repercussions.
Because of this, Liam was racking up huge amounts of experience points in a very short time. The first hive hill that they hunted gave him 20% experience points required to hit the next level, and since then, it has been steadily increasing.
The latest one even gave him a 50% boost in a single hit. This alone brought his current level to 83! He had actually leveled from 81 to 83 in the span of a few hours!
Compared to his progress from before, this was a monstrous level-up speed. Naturally, he was also paying the price for it.
Every single time Liam used the overpowered [Soul Splice] skill, he had to go through unimaginable torture, and repeating it so many times almost as soon as the cooldown wore off was slowly beginning to take a toll on him.contemporary romance
Also, the isons evolving at an explosive speed, giving him this bountiful experience points was not exactly good news.
Liam had no idea if his search was even exhaustive or not, but he was simply doing the best that he could. However, he was not foolish enough to start this madness without a backup plan. He did have a plan.
In fact, he was counting on this plan to take care of the rest of the hive hills. If everything went well, this should make his work a lot faster and easier, thereby preventing this disaster from worsening further.
As long as the isons were not aware of what he was doing, then he could still make it work, even if only barely. But by chance, they had some method of communicating with each other…
Liam didn't want to think about the situation anymore. He closed his eyes and rested while Luna hurried towards the nearest magic shop.
When they arrived, instead of rushing to the next teleportation stop, Liam walked over to a desk and pulled up the guild channel communications network.
"It's been several hours already. These guys should have figured things out by now and started talking about the hive hills," he said as he looked expectantly at the chat.
However, he found his eyes twitching the next instant.
"You've got to be kidding me!" His jaw ticked and a malicious smile appeared on his face as he saw the Crimson Abyss guild name being smeared left and right on the guild chat.
As if this wasn't enough, a new network of guilds had emerged.
"United Nations Government?" Liam frowned. He had never heard of anything like this in his past life. They seemed to be a new guild but they already had a lot of branches and followers.
They were doing righteous deeds such as gathering survivors, clearing beasts in the neighborhood, forming alliances, and even tackling some of the small groups of isons that were probably out on their gathering mission.
However, the problem was they still seemed oblivious to the main issue at hand.
All of the above tasks could even wait for a few weeks, actually a month to be precise, because every guild should have their safety zone set up soon. There was no rush in bringing all the survivors together, and so on.
What was required at the moment was to deal with these hive hills, and to Liam's annoyance, these guilds were not really doing that. They seemed to be staying put as if the isons would leave on their own whim one day.
Moreover, the credit for upgrading all the guilds all throughout the world had somehow gone to this group?
What was more amusing was that this United Nations Government acted as if they hadn't heard anything. They neither confirmed nor denied the fact that they had nothing to do with these guild upgrades. This naturally led to everyone believing that they were responsible.
However, Liam could not care less about this at the moment. The whole world was going to be wiped out, so how could he focus on such petty matters at this crucial moment?
He decided to deal with these special government friends at a later date. In fact, when that time comes, it would only be even more amusing when the truth was revealed.
Liam chuckled as he flickered his gaze over the rest of the conversation, ignoring the bunch of idiots.
And bingo! His plan had worked!
Just as he thought, he came across a few coordinates of hive hill locations that the group had shared amongst themselves.
Although the useless idiots were mostly gossiping about irrelevant things and not understanding the emergency of every single human being's current situation, they still managed to be somewhat useful and did this small part for the welfare of the entire Earth!
Liam hurriedly jotted down the few coordinates and prepared to leave when he noticed another message flashing in the corner of his system interface.
