717 All fall down!
Liam’s heart pounded as he tried to rack his brain for a solution. He had one in the bag but there were not three others ripe for taking! He watched the dazzling fight in front of him, wondering if there was some way he could steal those three souls as well.
Luckily for him, the one thing that seemed to be working for him was that these soul particles did not dissipate so easily. They were continuing to linger on the corpse as if they were waiting for him to come and harvest them.
Was this because the soul belonged to a higher beast or perhaps because of the barrier that seemed to enclose the hall?
Either way, he was in a difficult position. There was no way he could collect these souls without going in right? Perhaps he could attempt it? Even if he succeeded, would his presence then be revealed to everyone else?
Just as he was mulling over this, in the blink of an eye another three wyverns fell down. Unfortunately, their corpses as well thudded on the ground right in the middle of the battlefield.
After that, things started exploding at an exponentially rapid pace. The fight became completely one-sided and the last four wyverns also crumbled at breakneck speed.
The five dragons jutted their chest out, proudly displaying their battle scars, and roared loudly. The kid also shouted with arrogance. They had won the fight!
“Stupid bitches. Do you think you can win against someone like me? I am meant to rule this world. I am the fucking dragon king.” He shouted loudly and kicked the wyvern’s corpse in front of him.

He then arrogantly walked to the keyhole once again, his chest jutting out as if he was the ruler of the whole damn universe. Liam’s face twitched. Don’t tell me! He still hadn’t seen the woman in shackles?
While the kid placed the key once again inside a pattern, it was clear that there was nothing else to stop him this time around.
Fuck! What was going to happen now?
Liam was going crazy. This place was a treasure trove for him. Ten wyvern souls were shining brightly right in front of him and he wanted them all! Where else would he get such a chance for a second time?
For this, he wouldn’t mind going up against this kid. The wyverns might have lost but he had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Besides, the dragons also seemed winded from the battle. They only won barely so they can’t show their full potential if he attacked immediately. Win or loss, this was a risk, he had to take.
There was also the mysterious chained-up woman who was a big wild card. There were too many moving parts and anything could happen at any instant. The risks were simply overwhelming and he had to make a decision now!
While he was contemplating whether he could absorb their souls from where he was hiding sneakily or if he had to go in an all-out battle with the kid, something strange happened.
The kid turned the key, the prison unlocked and the door cracked open. At that moment, Liam couldn’t help but look at the chained-up woman. Was she going to get up and come running at the kid like a crazy beast?
However, she did no such thing. In fact, she hardly moved at all. Only the smile on the woman’s face changed. It was now a big wide grin. Liam shuddered. This was the most dangerous entity in the room, not the dragons, not the wyverns.
His eyes glued onto the woman to see what her next move would be but all the movements happened somewhere else.
Arrghhh! The kid suddenly shrieked, the arrogantly cocky look on his face completely wiped out and now replaced with a pained agonized expression.
The next second things happened really fast before anyone could react. The woman who was sitting in the corner completely chained suddenly lifted her head up and raised her hand.
The kid did not even get a chance to take another breath as his body floated up and was flung aside thrashing on the opposite wall.
And he was not the only one who was affected!
Unexpectedly, the five dragons that were majestically standing next to him just a second ago now started dropping like flies one after the other. Their huge bodies lifelessly thudded on the ground.
Everything happened too fast and even Liam only saw it after the five dragons were already down. There was no blood. There were no injuries. They were simply dead.
The supreme beings who were just now fighting with full of life, vigor, and power were just like that reduced to nothing.
“Noooo! Noooo! Nooo!” The kid started screaming. He was in utter shock. He was frantically pounding at the system interface willing for his skill to work.
A beast tamer could usually resurrect their pets after they died. Liam also knew this which was why he was even more surprised. The kid might not be able to see but he could see clearly.
The dragons in front of him were simply dead. At this very moment, there was no difference between them and the dead wyverns. All the souls of the dead beasts were shining like stars as they hovered around the bodies of the respective corpse.
How could this be happening?
Ahhh! Ahhh! All the arrogance and the attitude completely disappeared from the kid’s face. There was now only utter terror. Liam had no idea what he was seeing but he was manically moving his fingers mid-air as if he was closing several notifications.
However, with each passing second, his expression only turned worse.
As if this was not enough, the woman in the chains was not done yet. She let out a loud cackling laughter as she made her next move.
Right in front of Liam’s eyes, the soul dots of one of the dragons slowly started lifting up and then moving toward her.
