Chapter 960 Complete Annihilation
The single ison buzzing around by its lonesome was the same bizarre insect, but it was considerably thin and not in the least plumped up. Liam saw this and a.s.sumed that the ison was probably coming from the hive hill in search of food and not the other way around.
He patted Luna, and the two of them flew in the opposite direction, where they soon ran into several more isons. "It looks like we are in the right direction."
Liam only barely closed his mouth when the hive hill in the distance came into their vision, glowing in its golden splendor. "Stop." He immediately got down from the white fox.
Luna looked confused. She just a.s.sumed that her master was going to summon the soul army and take care of these ugly bugs, but Liam did not seem to have any intentions of doing that. Instead, he dashed forward into the wilderness all on his own.
"Stay back and be prepared to come to me when I call for you."
"Master!" Luna called after him, but he had already disappeared into the distance. The white fox pouted and spewed out her flames on a couple of isons near her to take out her frustration, but then a thought suddenly entered her mind.
Her eyes widened, and the next second, she immediately started backing up a few more paces and lifted up even higher in the sky because she was pretty sure that in the next few seconds, this entire area was going to be utterly devastated.
And just like she thought… another second later…
BOOOOM!
A loud explosion rang out, sending tremors and mana ripples in all directions. In just a moment, the area that had been tranquil and silent except for the buzzing sounds of the isons now looked like it was the site of a natural disaster.
Heavy winds roared loudly, and the earth groaned. Trees and plants started tearing apart. The tectonic plates of the region started dancing, and fissures appeared like wrinkles on an old man"s face.
"Kyu! Master has started!" The white fox"s ears quickly perked up. The first thing she did was looked around and inspect the damage. She cautiously judged the distance between her and the radius of impact and backed away some more paces.
She did not want to be too far if Liam needed her, and at the same time, she did not want to be dodging things left and right like what had happened previously.
Back then, she did not gauge the distance properly and had to combat a couple of ma.s.sive lightning bolts that descended from the sky. No, she was not going to do the same mistake again!
And soon…
BOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
After the first explosive wave came the second and then the third and then the fourth, and so on.
While the white fox curiously looked at the things around her getting completely and utterly demolished, in the distance, the hive hill was no longer standing.
It was as if it had never existed in the first place. There were no traces of it left behind except for the Orichalc.u.m bits and pieces scattered around.
The same went for the entire zone. Giant waves of destruction swept the area, leaving nothing behind. Even the air was electric, charged to the max capacity, with mana turbulently las.h.i.+ng out everywhere.
This continued for an entirety of five seconds, after which everything quieted down abruptly.
The moment this happened, Luna instantly knew that this was her cue. She growled and dashed forward at full speed before even Liam could give her the mental command.
And when she arrived at the spot, just like she feared, her master was once again writhing on the ground in pain.
The white fox dutifully stood beside her master while he took his time to recover slowly.
Though he seemed to be in intense pain, Liam did not look in the least regretful of his actions. He only had a big maniacal grin on his face as he howled loudly, trying to withstand the aftermath of using his ultimate skill.
Soul Splice!
He had used it once again! That too in the span of a single day!
He had directly rushed into the swarm of isons, and before the little things could crowd around him and pester him incessantly with their horrid numbers, he made the decisive move and went for the kill!

He went straight for the hive hill and sent a fully power-packed punch, activating [Soul Splice]!
With this single move, he demolished everything in sight, the small ones, the big ones, the normal isons, the mutated isons, the evolved isons, the elite isons, the ison generals, and even the d.a.m.ned queen if at all she existed in the first place.
He did not give any time for any of the d.a.m.ned insects to react and instantly pulverized the whole swarm, the eggs, and the hive, including whatever might be within.
This was important because once the thing inside became alert and aware of his presence, then there was no telling how the fight would go. He might have an ultimate skill, but there he needed the opportunity to use it.
And from the looks of it, the isons were not prepared for this kind of h.e.l.l to be unleashed onto them without warning. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be able to get away with this as he did just now.
But Liam did not care. As long as he was able to, he was going to do this again and again and again.
Even though he was also paying a price for it, his current goal was to eliminate as many hive hills as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Liam clenched his fist, bearing the inhumane torturous agony, and sucked in all the souls around him that were starting to dissipate.
He slowly used these souls to strengthen and nourish his own injured soul that was left cracked and battered after using the illegally overpowered skill.
He also gulped down another mouthful of the water from the world seed, and little by little, his body started repairing itself.
"4 down… how many more to go? Ha Ha Ha Ha!" He let out a burst of agonized laughter, howling in pain.
