Chapter 1091 She is mine
"Hmmm?" Liam flashed his eyes open suddenly with a mix of anxiety and panic surging within him. As his thoughts and vision cleared he abruptly sat up and snapped out of it.
What happened? Where was he? A million thoughts raced in his mind. However, before he could think about any of that, something even more pressing came up.
Pain.
Agonizing pain bore down on him from all sides without any warning as every inch of his body burned with an unimaginable torment.
Liam clenched his teeth, his face contorting in agony as he struggled to endure the excruciating pain. It felt as if every nerve in his body was being seared with fire, pulsating with an intensity that threatened to consume him entirely.
As he writhed in torment, he took deep breaths, trying to steady his racing heart and focus his scattered thoughts. With a surge of determination, he forced himself to look around him to grasp what was happening.
Was he even alive at this point?
The last thing Liam remembered was seeing the face of that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He had somehow shown up at a critical time and screwed everything up.
"d.a.m.n it. d.a.m.n it. d.a.m.n it." Liam punched the ground around him in frustration, not caring in the least that it was worsening his already existing torturous pain.
He had tried everything he could and did everything he could, even at the expense of his own life and future and yet it was still not enough!
When that higher existence wanted to crush him, in the end, he just became crushed like an insect.
d.a.m.n it.
Liam looked around, almost not wanting to see what was happening.
This world they were living in was ruthless. It was unforgiving where the one who lost had no choice but death or if one still managed to escape death, something even worse awaited them.
What awaited him?
A sound interrupted him causing him to get out of his thoughts and focus on his surroundings when he instantly became shocked.
Where he expected to find nothing except death, decay, and darkness, there was broad daylight and a comforting cool breeze brus.h.i.+ng against his skin. The sound that had gotten his attention was that of a bird chirping.
The landscape stretched out before him, lush with vibrant foliage and colorful flowers, a stark contrast to the image he had in his mind.
Confusion mingled with relief as Liam took in his surroundings. He found himself in a serene meadow, surrounded by rolling hills and distant mountains that kissed the horizon. The sky above was a clear expanse of blue, adorned with wisps of fluffy white clouds.
Bearing the all-consuming pain, he cautiously rose to his feet. He scanned the area for any signs of danger, but all he could see were the serene beauty and tranquility of the meadow. There were no immediate threats or hostile beings in sight.
With a sense of trepidation, Liam took his first steps forward, his bare feet sinking into the soft, velvety gra.s.s. What happened?
Did this mean he had won? The world tree had taken root? They had cleansed the world of nether?
As if answering his question, a series of notifications flashed in front of him.
[Ding: Welcome to the Myriad Realms Network]
[Ding: Your system access privileges are now upgraded]
[Ding: Congratulations. You have obtained a new t.i.tle - Earth"s first Realmhopper]
[Ding: Congratulations. You have received 50 bonus stat points freely available to allot to any of the attributes]
Liam"s face paled. "Realmhopper… Realmhopper… " He mumbled in a daze.
The weight of the words in the system notification slowly dawned on him. The fifty extra stat points which would have been a welcome surprise any other time were now only a stark reminder of reality, the painful reality that he was now in another realm!
Liam shuddered. He frantically tried to make sense of the situation. Where was he? How did he get here? How did he manage to get to an entirely different realm? More importantly, what happened to the nether array?
Every single person whom he loved was back there in that sinkhole. What was the point of him alone surviving if everyone else was lost?
overwhelming emotions cras.h.i.+ng over him.
However, his thoughts were interrupted by a commotion nearby.
Tears welled up in Liam"s eyes as he fell to his knees, his body shaking with a mix of despair and confusion. The pain that had once consumed him now seemed trivial in comparison to the overwhelming emotions cras.h.i.+ng over him.
However, his thoughts were interrupted by a commotion nearby.
Liam"s gaze lifelessly fell upon the small group gathered a few feet away from him. It was a group of short green-skinned creatures, looking somewhat akin to goblins but seemingly stronger and sharper than them.
"She is mine." One of them shrieked.
"Hands off, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. She is mine."
"Keep your stinking a.s.s away. That woman is mine."
Liam knew that he shouldn"t be able to understand these creatures but right now he could very clearly listen to their conversation. ????????.???
Not caring about why this was the case, his gaze lingered on the ground, where a person was lying unconscious. The goblins were precisely fighting over this person.
Liam stiffened up as he immediately recognized the familiar face. The answer to why he ended up here was clear.
The draconian princess had dragged him here and right now she was lying unconscious a few feet ahead of him.
As he stood there silently and watched the bunch of cruel creatures l.u.s.t over her and fight over her, suddenly the woman"s lips parted and a groan escaped. Her eyebrows moved and her eyes strained to open.
Liam blankly walked over to her. The moment the goblins saw him coming, the bunch of creatures quickly scattered away, disappearing with the wind.
Right at that moment, Liam was covered in blood from top to bottom. Not to mention the aura seeping out of him was something the creatures couldn"t handle.
And luckily for them, Liam"s attention was completely on the draconian princess. He took out a high-grade healing potion from his spatial artifact and slowly emptied it into the woman"s mouth.
