Chapter 880 Helikatos

Liam saw the vampire lord grin, and he instantly knew that something was wrong. He reached forward again and lifted the black dragon sword up to swing it down one more time.

However, just as he brought the sword down, he was blocked once again, and this time, he saw something shiny and metallic in between the black dragon sword and the vampire lord's skin.

"Fuck!" Liam immediately retreated back several paces.

There was one more being here, and that being was strong enough to block a direct attack from his black dragon sword at his full strength. This was not good.

And he already had a feeling what this additional being was.

It was a…

At the same time Liam retreated back, a figure emerged from the shadows. "Which idiot dared to attack us when this lord is guarding the entrance?"

Liam stared at a huge blue-colored being in front of him that was half-human and half-spider. As the spider-human chimera skittered toward him with a vicious grin, a strong aura engulfed the space.

This guy was definitely not at the level of the vampire lord on whom Liam did not bother using the inspect skill, as their levels and powers were not usually proportionate.

But now he immediately used the skill on the spider beast man.

<Level 110, Helikatos>

Liam's eyes widened. Not only was the spider beast man a level 100+ being, but he was also a named being.

Why was someone like this present in their world right now? This did not make sense. This should not be happening. No matter how fast the beasts around him were evolving, this was an evolution rate that transcended the norm.

The spider beast man did not give him any time to think as he skittered towards him at an incredible speed.

While the upper half of his body was that of a human being, the lower half of his body was that of a huge spider, and the being possessed several sharp metallic legs.

It was one of these legs that had been strong enough to stop Liam's attacks from earlier, and now it was also these legs that were moving fast enough not to give Liam any time to react.

The spider beast man crossed the distance between them in a millisecond and was now in front of Liam, attacking him with several sharp metallic limbs.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal screeching against metal echoed loudly in the enclosed space as Liam grit his teeth and used the black dragon sword to block every single attack that came his way.

Each of the creature's sharp metallic limbs aimed to pierce his vital point and tear his body apart. Not just that, but there was also a faint purplish-black glint in the metallic skewers.

Though Liam had no way to confirm his assumption without actually taking damage, he was pretty sure that these limbs were coated with extremely toxic material.

One single mistake, failure to block one single attack, could potentially mean instant death. Moreover, the creature's stats were clearly superior to his own, and his physical attack power and defense power were extremely high.

And since they were already engaged in the combat, Liam couldn't muster even a split second to conjure a spell to try and get the upper hand.

His casting speed which was high enough to be classified as an instant casting ability, was now somehow too slow in this combat.

He had to focus 100% to make sure that he was not the one losing in this exchange. The exchange was taking place at a rate that was not even visible to the naked eye anymore.

Liam was pushing himself to the limits. He was stuck in this vicious chain where he couldn't move or stray from his current block and parry pattern.

However… he was not alone…

Liam did not hesitate and immediately reached for Luna and the wyverns.

GROWL!

A huge sound resounded in the distance as the group of soul minions, and one white fox rushed forward.

"For a level 80 small fry, you aren't that bad! Ke Ke Ke! But it is only a matter of time! Ke Ke Ke!" Helikatos cackled as the man randomly lifted one of his limbs and licked it with his long pimple-covered purple tongue.

Saliva dripped everywhere, and the place where it touched the ground sizzled and hissed. Liam immediately knew he was right. This guy not only had astonishing physical stats, but he also boasted a dangerous poison.

His level was also nothing to scoff at. There were about 30 levels of gap between the both of them. He had to be very careful here.

The spider grinned menacingly as if he could read Liam's thoughts and then flashed a sideways glance at the vampire lord who was standing beside him.

"Foolish human! Have you forgotten that I am not the only one here?" The spider cackled loudly again, the man's sinister voice echoing in the space.

Liam did not know what he was doing, but he had his eyes closed, and he was chanting something that might as well be gibberish to him. A red aura seeped out of him, and the air in the space smelled strange.

Then all of a sudden, the spider in front of him burst forth with extraordinary speed and power, something even higher than before.

"How?" Liam's eyes widened in shock.

Until now, he was matching evenly with the Level 110 monster, but now he was suddenly falling behind. How did he become stronger? He didn't even see the spider activating any skill?

However, the next second, it dawned on him. As a slight shade of fatigue assaulted him, he realized that the spider hadn't become stronger. It was he who had become weaker.

But just as he was about to be completely overwhelmed by the enemy's cluster of attacks, a massive fireball launched into the room, smacking the spider right on his face.
