Chapter 950 The King's Generals

Liam slashed his black dragon sword and sprang forward. He could indeed shake these twenty Generals and get into the barrier before it closed up, but that wouldn't be wise. 

He did not know the strength of the queen yet, who was probably still inside the hive hill. So he wanted to test the waters by dealing with these Generals first.

Bang! He sent a blast of fireball to his left and right and slashed down at the five isons who were standing in front of him.

These ones were bigger than Liam, almost twice his size, and they had a dozen or so razor-sharp wings on their back, which further boosted their speed.

When Liam moved forward, the Ison Generals also blasted ahead to meet him, not afraid to go face-to-face with the human being.

The two sides clashed, with the metallic limbs of the isons screeching against the black dragon sword. Sparks flew everywhere, and both sides were pushed back, but the victor of the battle was already clear.

The proof of this was the couple of severed metallic limbs that scattered on the ground.

Purple blood spurted out of their wounds, and Liam grinned viciously. "We are just getting started." This single attack was more than enough for him to gauge the strength of these insects in front of him.

So the next second, he called for his backup. He did not hold back and called his four reliable sidekicks who could truly stand against these Generals - Luna, the two golems, and Helikatos.

Luna was more than capable of taking care of herself, and the other three were Level 100 minions. So now, the fight was five vs. twenty, and suddenly the Ison Generals didn't seem to have that much of an advantage.

However, the unshakeable confidence with which they had attacked Liam still did not waver as they came at him once more with everything they had.

"Bring it on."

The ison Generals were all Level 80 and above and technically should have the upper hand in this battle. However, their stats were nothing when compared to Liam's.

Liam's level might be 81, but his stats were comparable to that of a level 100 being. Not to mention, he had other advantages which the insects dared not dream about.

After the first attack, the isons relentlessly attacked him from all sides with their several metallic limbs aimed at his throat and his other vital points.

However, the moment they attacked him, a translucent white barrier showed up, which blocked every single one of their attacks.

"You are not the only ones capable of making a barrier."

Liam's luck had been quite good lately. Every enemy that he faced was also hellbent on bringing along with them an army to attack him. Unfortunately for them, this only worked in his favor.

As all the other Crimson Abyss members continued slaughtering the never-ending swarm of insects, Liam pulled all of their soul essences to his side. 

He never thought that he would need it here, but now that these big shots had shown up, it was time to go truly all out.

Liam easily deflected their attacks and momentarily dispersed the soul energy around him.

Now it was his turn. He pulled the mana in the air around him and sent out a huge whirlpool of concentrated mana that forced the Generals to fall back.

And Luna and the other minions finally used this chance and were able to enter the battle. Everything was happening too quickly, but this attack gave them the fraction of the second they needed to get their footing.

Luna roasted two of the Generals and kited them away. 

The two golems each handled two of the ison Generals, and finally, Helikatos was the most impressive as the spider beast man used his multitude of soul limbs to clash with the limbs of the ison Generals and kept three of them busy!

This instantly reduced the number of opponents Liam had almost down to half. 

Liam churned his mana core and reached the depth of his ability to bring out his full potential. The black dragon sword in his hand moved wildly as he blocked and parried the limbs and pincers of these monsters and evaded their venomous attacks.

And every single time, he moved, he also managed to send an attack of his own in. He aimed right for the weak joints in their exoskeleton and unleashed terror on the isons.

The vampires he had faced previously had strange powers beyond his comprehension. The blood effigy was an enemy that he couldn't stand up against. However, these isons were different.

Though they out-leveled him, they were still within his grasp. So he completely let loose and moved his body nimbly, pushing himself to his limit. 

The fight was a bloody, hand-to-hand spar with both sides evenly matched but slowly by slowly, Liam was gaining the upper hand. On the other side, only injuries were piling up. 

If things continued like this, all Liam had to do was keep up with the attacks, and he was going to get an easy win.

But at this point, suddenly, one of the ison Generals retreated back in a hurry. Naturally, this did not escape Liam attention. He sent a power-packed thick ball of fire at the General, only to find that the insect actually blocked his attack with a wind barrier.

"So you are also capable of using mana for attacking?"

Liam slashed down at two of the Generals that were closest to him, putting them down for eternity. He then immediately brought back the soul barrier as he forged the two isons on the spot. Just like that, there were two more Level 80 plus minions standing on his side.

"If you can fight dirty, then I can fight dirty too! Now let me see just how many of you are able to use mana!" Liam swung around and paid attention to the next two ison Generals who had taken the most damage.
