Liam's entire body shivered and trembled as an ancient powerful aura enveloped him, pulling toward him all the mana from the surroundings.
The wind whipped about and the solid ground quaked underneath. In the blink of an eye, so much mana had gathered that even the draconian princess had an awestruck look on her face.
And out of this swirl of raw turbulent mana waves, something even more powerful emerged. A giant burst of icy flames shot out of Liam's mouth.
The icy flames were so powerful that the moment they doused the huge grotesque creature, the Ison King was once again frozen solid, and this time not just for a moment.
The insect's entire body was frozen from top to bottom. The area surrounding the insect was also frozen solid. In a second, the whole landscape changed into something else.
Moreover, even after freezing him, the icy flames did not die out. They were burning the Ison King in the hellish cold flames from which there seemed to be no escape.
Bright mysterious runes shone, circling around the dancing ice flames and the burst of pure icy mana left the afterimage of a dragon.
"This is it! A dragon breath! A real dragon breath!" The draconian princess exclaimed in shock and excitement.
Though she had expected Liam to possess the dragon breath skill, in reality, she thought that he would only have a derivative of that skill.
But this right in front of her was the real deal. Just how did this human extract the true skill that could only belong to a dragon? Just how high was his soul manipulation?
Her gaze darted toward Liam who was now panting and heaving with his eyes fixed on the icy flames dancing wildly.
The single attack had left him completely drained and disoriented. If the soul attacks were draining, then this was equally tiresome though in an entirely different manner.
This attack took its main toll on his body. Along with the stinging of the soul injury, he now felt his entire body burning.
His mana vessels felt as if they had been crushed and broken. His bones and muscles ached from deep within. His stamina was non-existent. The single attack made him into a dry husk of his former self.
However, that was not important at the moment.
Liam held onto whatever willpower he had left in him and looked at the frozen ison king.
There was pin-drop silence all around, except for the wind whistling by. Everything had come to a standstill.
The next second Liam's eyes widened as if he realized something.
With a smirk, he then casually walked forward and raised his black dragon sword to bring it down on the frozen creature.
The Ison King's body crumbled down into a mountain of ice chunks right in front of everyone's eyes!
The only thing that was remaining was the fist-sized mana core of the insect. Everything else was just gone.
The others stared at the scene with their jaws dropped on the ground.
The fight was really over? The level 500 creature that threatened their entire planet was dead?!
At the same time, Liam also received several notifications.
Liam only looked at the number 100 as a wave of intense fatigue swept past him. He slumped down to sit on the heap of remains of the ison king.
"Level 100! Level 100! Level 100!"
He looked up and let out another roar, this time one filled with maniacal laughter. He clutched his head as his body shook uncontrollably.
"Tam Level 100 and the insect is dead!"
The past life him had dreamt about this exact moment countless times and now he had actually achieved it!
Not just that, but he had also managed to completely decimate the threat of the second wave of the apocalypse!
It was a complete victory!
Liam continued laughing wildly without any care in the world. His body, brain, and soul were hurting in a million places but he continued to let loose all of his frustrations and worries.
At this moment, he barely even looked human. There was madness within his eyes which was clearly displayed for everyone to see.
However, no one cared about it at the moment because it takes a monster to kill another monster and their monster had successfully saved their entire world!
Unfortunately, this joy was short-lived as Liam all of a sudden stopped laughing and swung his head around to look at the two standing well within the protection of the magic shop.
The oracle and the monk gulped. Liam's cold intense glare made the two of them wonder what the hell was going to happen now.
The Ison King was taken care of... this meant that now it was their turn?
They then felt the madman's gaze shift from them to the draconian princess. However, unlike them, the woman was more than happy to receive all of the attention.
"Marvellous! Marvellous!" She clapped her hands and started running toward Liam without caring whether she was in the protective barrier or not.
"Congratulations on reaching Level 100! Did I or did I not tell you that I was going to help you! Now are you glad that we made the contract?
This is just the beginning. I am going to take you to the top of this world!"
The draconian princess beamed brightly and to her surprise, Liam also nodded. "Ok. I am looking forward to it."
Huh? The princess was taken aback. She expected another kind of reply.
But the very next second what she expected did indeed happen.
Liam grinned wildly as he once again shifted his focus to the two human beings. "I only have one thing that I need to take care of for that to happen."
According to the prediction of the Oracle, that one person was bound to be his greatest ally. The problem was that there were three of them.
However, if two of them suddenly ceased to exist, then this problem would no longer be there.
Seeing the sinister smile on Liam's face, the duo quickly understood his intentions. The guy was tying up loose ends and their turn had really come!
