1029 50-50

While Liam was calmly smiling, the draconian princess went livid.

"No. Don't smile. This is foolishness. This is too hasty. You have done something without thinking."

"This is a completely arrogant move even for you. If you control these many souls, do you know the stress this places on your soul?"

"Are you feeling the pain yet or not? Have you ever experienced a soul injury?! Someone like you won't even be able to withstand it for one night. You will turn into a mindless lunatic before you completely perish under the stress."

The princess started going on a rant berating Liam, advising just how severe a soul injury was.

However, Liam remained silent.

The thing was he indeed knew the pain of a soul injury, but he was not about to openly admit to a woman he did not trust that this soul was already injured. So he continued to let her rant.

The draconian princess only stopped talking after a couple of minutes, with a sigh. "Fine. We can deal with this later."

"Let's first finish the battle in front of us and then you should immediately disperse these souls. If your soul injury is big enough then you will only become useless to both me and yourself."

"Ok." Liam agreed.

This time it looked like the princess was serious and no longer in a playful mood. She directly came to the main point.

"The method to defeat this monster is actually not too complicated."

She explained. '"But I will be honest with you. You only have a 50% chance of winning."

"50%?" Liam frowned. That was too less of a percentage to bet his life on.

"Wait. Let me finish. It is only 50% but it can increase depending on just how strong your shielding ability is."

"I am talking about the skill you have been demonstrating to me right from when we met, the barrier you create using souls."

"This is a newly born Ison King. Even though his level is too high for you at the moment, his basic skills and his abilities shouldn't have developed a lot."

"For a King to fully mature, it should at least take a decade. Right now, all he should have is power-packed blunt offensive abilities. So you should be able to deal with him right now, provided you properly use that ability of yours to defend."

Liam nodded. He understood what she meant. Basically, to win this fight, he would have to grind down the health of that monster while simultaneously preserving his own health.

The plan looked easy enough.

"It won't be that easy." The draconian princess shook her head.

"Apart from very high offensive abilities, the Ison King should also possess innate defensive abilities. So you would have to always use your best attack to continuously weaken him."

"Considering that you are also going to be casting your soul barrier, attacking him in this manner would deplete your mana reserves fast."

"Not just that, but your stamina and mental strength are also going to get drained within seconds. The King should also have a monstrous health stat. This is the first thing that they usually evolve to ensure their survival. So this definitely will not go smoothly."

"I suggest you exchange something in your possession to the magic shop for more potions and items and go at him with full strength. But I have to warn you..."

"Even after doing all of this, you still only have a 50-50 chance of beating that monster. That is probably the highest odds you are ever going to get."

"Understood." Liam nodded.

The draconian princess only barely sighed in relief when all of a sudden Liam abruptly walked out of the barrier.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!!"

"LIAM!"

"Ayo!!!"

All three immediately shouted in shock.

The draconian princess couldn't believe what she was seeing. Even after she had warned him so much, this maniac was still acting arrogantly as he pleased.

It was fine up until now but here even a single misstep could only mean death and yet he had dared to step out unprepared. This was no longer arrogance. It was simple foolishness.

At this point, there was nothing anyone could do to help him. He was completely done for.

Her eyes narrowed in anger and a slit-like golden glint appeared within them. "When you die, don't blame me."

She watched as the Ison King instantly reacted the moment Liam stepped outside. It was game over.

A powerful wind current swept the place as the King's figure blurred.

The draconian princess, the Oracle, and the Monk immediately felt their hearts drop.

Bang!

The next second, before anyone could react, Liam was sent flying backward once again into the magic shop's protective barrier.

And standing in front of them, the Ison King's beady eyes calmly stared at them.

It was as if he was challenging Liam to step out if he dared or even to stand up in the first place after facing that head-on attack.

The three turned toward Liam, dread filling their faces.

However, the person who should have been lying on the ground, twitching and turning in pain with a few broken limbs.... was already missing?

"NO! You foolish human!" The draconian princess shouted but it was already too late.

Liam was once again gone. He had willingly stepped out of the magic shop's protective barrier for a second time, directly facing the Level 500 monstrosity.

But immediately, the woman's face changed.

Her eyes widened in shock, staring at the unbelievable sight in front of her. Not just her, but the two next to her as well stared at the same scene in utter shock.

It was because this time when the Ison King once more arrived in front of Liam hitting him directly with his legs and the long predatory claws, the same situation did not repeat.

Instead of flying away or being skewered, Liam stood still, completely unaffected by the attack, and surrounding him was a thick white vapor -like substance mysteriously swirling around.
