Chapter 657 Ding! Ding! Ding!
Inside one of the huge palatial houses in the elven residential area, an elf was angrily walking back and forth. He walked back and forth, chewing his nails out as he did so.
He only stopped when another elf rushed inside, bowing to him respectfully. “Lord Saevel, I have news. The esteemed Lord took the bait.”
“Hmph. Don’t call him a Lord in front of me.” Saevel scolded the little elf and dismissed him. He then continued his pacing back and forth, now in a more relaxed manner.
“You are done for now, you filthy trash. These brainless idiots might sing praises of you but I know you cheated.”
He had seen Liam execute some spells the other day and he was one hundred percent confident that he simply did not have the elemental affinity to forge an Epic ranked weapon.
But somehow the weapon was still forged? He was sure that something was off. He just was not able to find out what it was. However, that was for others. He didn’t need any proof.
He already knew that the filthy human was bad news, and that was enough. It was enough for him to be sentenced to death in his court. “Die, you little bitch.” Saevel muttered as he finally stopped pacing and went inside with a huff.

Liam rushed into the wilderness along with the group of elves. “Where are the barbarians?” He whispered in a low voice. If possible, he wanted to fight with them alone because he did not want to expose his undeads.
The elves, on the other hand, did not seem to be interested in giving out any concrete detail. They simply kept saying that the camp was further ahead.
At first, it sounded natural, but soon something felt off. There was no urgency in their voice anymore. They had come to him for help, but now they no longer seemed to care about it.
Liam paused his steps, suddenly coming to a stop. The other elves also did the same.
However, the next second he entered [Stealth] without any explanation. The elves became shocked and their expression changed. “Where is he? Where did he go?”
Wind whistled in the distance, and the group assumed that Liam was already on the run back to the elven establishment.
“Damn it! He found out about the plan!”
“Come! Quick! We need to search for him and find him. Otherwise, Lord Saevel will punish us!”
The group quickly hurried away, hurling attacks in the air, and aiming to break Liam’s stealth. Meanwhile, the person in question stood just a few feet away from their original position.
The only difference was that he hadn’t tried to go back. Instead, he had gone further into the wilderness.
“So these guys were plotting something, huh? They even gave up the name of the mastermind.” Liam facepalmed, chuckling lightly. He was too distracted to notice it before, but these idiots made it too easy for him.
“Well whatever. I need to thank that fellow. Though the execution was bad, the idea is definitely not bad. This has to work.” He continued heading further into the wilderness.
As for the idiots who tried to attack him or whatever their plan was, they had to wait. He had more important things to do. He needed to find some barbarians as soon as possible.
He finally had an idea how to take them down, and he needed this to work in order to get in the good graces of that damned bastard.
Liam’s heart raced as he dashed into the wilderness at top speed. Everything was riding on this. “This has to work.” He mumbled and scoured the forest for the familiar, bulky figures.
Not long after he ran into the first group of barbarians. However, the elite he was looking for was not in the group.
Liam quickly searched for the next group and the group after that, leaving corpses in his wake, and finally in the sixth group there was a barbarian that caught his interest.
“Finally!” He grinned and rushed forward directly jumping into the frey. The barbarians were shocked for an instant. Usually their enemies ran away from them and not towards them.
“Who are you, puny human?” The elite barbarian scowled, but Liam had already started the theatrics. He unsheathed the black dragon sword and swung it at the company.
“I don’t need you guys, so you can die first.”
The elite barbarian’s eyes widened as he stared in shock at the terrifying scene. One by one the dozen members of his unit were falling. They were unable to even counter attack properly as the sword danced rapidly.
He could tell that this enemy was not ordinary. The barbarian immediately roared loudly. His anger surged as his eyes reddened, and so did his strength.
A strong, violent aura erupted from him, and the atmosphere immediately changed. Liam swung around, hurriedly slashing at the two other remaining barbarians.
But it looked like the big guy did not intend to give him any time off. He dashed forward with incredible speed, each of his footsteps thundering on the ground.
Thick fists came at Liam, each of them packing a tremendous amount of strength. One hit could probably drain three-fourths of his health.
However, Liam grinned. He tossed the other barbarian so that the punch fell on him, and the resulting impact sent the guy flying.
He ducked down, letting the last remaining barbarian take the next blow, and hurriedly stepped back several paces.
There it was! The ridiculous health for a level 70 barbarian, along with the ridiculous strength and the ridiculous power.
“I was waiting for you.” Liam ran away from this strange power last time, but his feet were rooted to the ground this time. Instead of running, he took something out from his inventory and suddenly….
DING! DING! DING!
In the middle of the thick wilderness, a bell chimed loudly.
“Hmmm?” The barbarian cocked his head to the side in confusion, but unbeknownst to him, his rage, bloodlust and his strength were already dropping.
