Chapter 633 Trapped
Liam’s mind spun as he looked around hurriedly, searching for a path of escape. They might be in a difficult position but it was nothing he hadn’t seen before. In his past life, he had escaped even worse scenarios.
Trees, the trail, the waterfalls, his brain worked in overdrive. No matter how he looked at this the waterfalls seemed to be the best option. It would be easier for him to jump in and escape.
However, as soon as he slightly leaned towards that side and looked like he was about to jump, Lyana immediately opened her mouth. “NO!! There is a beast down there that will kill you!”
Thud. Liam instantly stopped his movements and supported himself using a tree branch that was hanging off the mountain. What beast was down there? Now, where were they supposed to go?
Seeing his actions and the elf’s panicked shout all the barbarians started laughing.
“Ke Ke Ke ke!”
“Ke Ke Ke!”
“Ke Ke Ke Ke!”
In the midst of this laughter, a loud voice boomed through. Go ahead and jump human! It’s been a while since I saw that monster! Ke Ke Ke ke!”
A huge elephant beast with two giant tusks appeared standing on the edge of the cliff and atop it a barbarian was sitting. Everyone made way for this guy and respectfully quieted down when he arrived.
“Puny human! Did you think it was that easy to escape from us? You are now trapped. You have nowhere to run. Hmph!” The barbarian haughtily declared.
Liam looked at the guy mouthing off as he pleased. He seemed bulkier than the rest, had more items on his body, had a special mount, and also had a special headdress.
He hadn’t seen any other barbarians like this before. So he observed the man in front of him keenly. As for what he was saying…
“Trapped huh? We will see about that.”
It looked like his sneaking across the enemy’s camp plan hadn’t worked after all. Now he had no other option but to go along with his plan B.
Thud. Liam kicked off the hard mountain’s surface and abruptly jumped up without any warning.
All the barbarians stared in shock seeing the human being in front of them having so much power and agility, but Liam was not done yet.
It only took him a moment to get away from the rocky side, dangerous side of the mountain to the flat mountaintop where all the barbarians had gathered. In one second he had regained his footing and was no longer in a perilous position.
However, that didn’t change anything as he was still surrounded from all sides.
“Hrmm! Attack him!” The barbarian seated atop the elephant commanded his underlings and waved his hand impatiently.
His eyes then flickered to the five elven women trembling and standing on the dangerous path. A strange glint flashed past his eyes. “Who do we have here?”
But before his question could be answered, his attention was once again caught by the human being. The five barbarians who had dashed towards him had all fallen back.
Liam’s sword was drenched in blood as he relentlessly slashed at his enemies, imbuing firepower in his attack whenever he could.
Within a few seconds, the five Level 55 barbarians were quickly put down. The others standing around also gaped at this scene as they stared at Liam with their bloodthirsty eyes.
However, they did not look scared. Instead, they seemed very eager to throw themselves at Liam and fight him.
As the first five went down, another group rushed towards him. This time there were a couple of Level 70 barbarians in the group.
“Bring it on.” Liam gripped his sword tightly and continued slashing down the thick beings in front of him. He did not want to reveal his trump card just yet. As the barbarians were still underestimating him, he wanted to use this chance well.
Slash. Slash. Slash. The black dragon sword flashed here and there and blood splattered everywhere. Within a few seconds, the next group of barbarians also dropped down dead.
But right after the third wave arrived as even more barbarians came forward with the intention of pummeling Liam to the ground.
Some even threw their spears and weapons at him from a distance which he swiftly evaded. The weapons instead landed on the barbarians flanking him and injuring them.
Raaaa! The group let out an angry roar as they swung their thick fists at the human being one after the other. The fight became a big rumble with everyone haphazardly taking their chances.
Liam, however, was still calm and collected. He only responded to the attacks coming for him and returned that attack with his own attack which was several times stronger.
“Good effort, but you are simply not strong enough.” He chuckled and swung his sword to his heart’s content. Toying with these barbarians was simply too much fun.
The other side did not share these same thoughts. Every single barbarian who faced Liam was trembling and shaking. They were utterly bewildered as all the attacks they were receiving weighed like a mountain.
What was happening? How was this human so strong? Weren’t humans supposed to be weak physically? That too the person in front of them wasn’t even using any magic. He was simply fighting with a weapon so the barbarians were left clueless.
By now seeing his crew getting massacred the big guy sitting atop the elephant beast also shouted in disgruntlement.
Many of his men were getting slaughtered and it was happening within seconds. This new enemy was not to be underestimated. This much was clear to him.
THUD! The barbarian grunted loudly as he jumped off the elephant and arrived in front of Liam in a few strides.
All the other barbarians parted like the sea allowing this person to come forward and his mere presence exuded a huge pressure on Liam, making his body slightly shake.
<Level 80; Barbarian War Chief; Health: 500,000>
“I guess this is the one the elves warned me about?” Liam’s gaze locked onto his new target as he couldn’t help but feel the excitement from facing such a strong opponent. “Let me see what you have.”
Ka ta ta ta. Liam immediately dashed forward landing the first blow on the barbarian chief.
“Hmph. Insect.” The other party spat out as he simply lifted his thick arm to block the attack.
VRMMM! The pulsing steel of the black dragon sword clashed against the thick sturdy flesh of the barbarian and the impact sent both of them back a few paces.
Surprised by this turnout, the barbarian chief’s eyes lit up curiously. What strength does this human in front of him possess?
“It’s been a while since I had a chance to fight properly. HRAAA! COME!”
Liam grinned. This was just the beginning he was not done yet.
He once again dashed forward at the barbarian aiming his attack directly at this throat but at the last minute just when the barbarian was again planning to block him with his arm, suddenly Liam’s image split into three.
“HRRRM!” The barbarian grunted as he stared at the trickery. However, he did not get flustered. He simply blocked one attack after another, letting the third one actually strike his vital point.
-1000
A big damage number floated atop but shockingly there was no blood. No matter how one looked at it this attack was aimed at the weak point, right near the neck region but still, there was no heavy injury.
The barbarian chief’s physical defense was simply amazing!
“So even my critical attacks are not critical?” Liam did not stop there and continued lashing out at the big guy. He was trying to get a hang of the attack pattern of the chief.
Weirdly enough the other party was only blocking him and not doing a single offensive move. Also, the other barbarians were also simply standing around and watching the show. No one showed any intention of sneakily attacking him during this fight and backstabbing him.
The entire barbarian group was clearly looking down on Liam. When such an interesting opportunity presented itself to him, he did not want to let it go!
After all, 500,000 health points weren’t all that much. He had soloed bosses with more health. He continued swinging his sword around and slowly gaining rhythm for the barbarians blocking pattern.
A few more seconds passed and Liam was still only slowly chipping away the health. He wasn’t doing anything flashy. Seeing this, the barbarian chief grunted in annoyance. “Weak. You are too weak. Graaa!”
He raised his hand to block Liam’s last attack as he planned to send the insect flying with his next move but just as he moved his body, suddenly Liam’s speed increased.
[Spirit Wrath]
Using the full momentum he had gathered so far, Liam used his ultimate sword technique on the guy when he least expected it.
Grummm!
Hundreds of swords sprang up from the ground skewering the enemy standing atop it.
