Chapter 587 Lunatic

The blast of the cannon resounded loudly amidst the group of terrified players. They had seen this cannon blasting before also when it decimated a big section of their forces.

However, they still dared to stand in front of the guild residence because of one and only reason. Someone had said that the cannon could be fired only once.

Where was this intelligent person now?

The thousands of players did not know who they were more terrified of, Liam or the cannon?

The cannon had killed dozens at once, while Liam stepped into the b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacres and smiled like a lunatic. He was like the grim reaper swimming in the souls of the dead.

Players who came face to face with him were completely terrified. This person had lost it!

And since he was a single person in the presence of several other melee players, it was difficult to target him.

The attacks were all completely random and chaotic. The attacks aimed at him were falling on other players and taking down their own side.

No one was even able to aim properly because of all the dust and the blast debris. There was just blood and flesh strewn everywhere. It was disgusting, pungent, and nauseating.

Most players at the back had already started running away. The big guilds quietly retreated.

The moment they heard the cannon blast again, they realized that they couldn't touch Crimson Abyss right now. The cannons were simply too overpowered.

They could only blame their bad luck for not being able to upgrade their own guild residence yet and quickly started disappearing.

However, how could Liam allow this to happen so easily? He was gaining a lot at the moment.

[Ding. You have now acquired 55% of the Legacy]

[Ding. You have now acquired 56% of the Legacy]

[Ding. You have now acquired 57% of the Legacy]

After the fight with the tower master and after forging his soul, it was as if a barrier had been removed in his brain.

He was not only able to sense the souls better, but he was learning more and more about his cla.s.s. He was in the d.a.m.n zone! He was not going to let his guinea pigs leave so easily.

"ALEX! NOW!" He shouted again, and another round blasted, taking one more group of players down.

And once again, Liam walked around the corpses, taking in the sweet essence of the souls. About ten rounds went off by the time the crowd finally managed to disperse.

They were chased out like mere street dogs. .h.i.t by stones. It was humiliating and not to mention very expensive.

The ground was littered with loot. Some of the stragglers fell for this, and they tried to grab some loot before escaping, but it only backfired, and they died without knowing how.

Liam cleaned the random sword he was holding with a sigh. Looking at all the loot, he couldn't help but think of a certain someone.

Usually, a white fox would go crazy on these items, but she was resting now. He did not even know how she was doing.

He shook it off and signaled the guild members to come down and do it instead.

Soon a mount of sparkling and dazzling loot formed in front of him. They had just now seen how scary their big boss could be, so no one dared to pocket anything.

Alex was also overseeing things.

"He He! Our coffers are full! Between the gold coins from the betting and this pile of loot, we are flush with guild reserves!" She announced. Everyone cheered loudly.

The tournament was over, and everyone had come back unharmed. They had also chased out the hyenas wanting to pick their guild apart.

Everything had ended well. The huge crisis that befell their guild had been averted. This was time for celebrations!

With this, Crimson Abyss guild's reputation was also going to soar to the sky.

The number of members wanting to sign with their guild would increase, and their guild would become a top guild of the Kingdom. So everyone cheered and started celebrating in high spirits.

Liam, on the other hand, didn't partic.i.p.ate in this and silently walked away. He dashed towards the graveyard near the guild residence in deep thought.

Sitting there, he started harvesting random players resp.a.w.ning after the fight. He simply killed the players who showed up, one after the other, without leaving a single prey to escape.

"Liam, what are you doing?" Alex followed him to check on him.

"Finis.h.i.+ng a quest." He answered, his frown deepening. He did not even bother standing as he sent out a sharp ice spear, piercing the next player dead.

Alex silently watched him. The guy wasn't even batting an eye as he slaughtered players. She felt a little uncomfortable. However, she didn't say anything.

She knew about Liam enough to know that he wouldn't be doing this unless it was necessary. As she was staring at him, Liam suddenly looked up at her and asked, "Where is Derek?"

"Derek?" Alex gasped, finally realizing the important matter she had missed. "s.h.i.+t! s.h.i.+t! s.h.i.+t!"

Between Liam, Luna, the attack on the guild, and capturing the three mysterious players, she had completely forgotten about Derek!

Liam saw her fretting, and he shook his head. He pulled up his system interface as he already had a bad feeling about this.

And just like he thought... Derek's name was still greyed out.

There was no way to contact him. He also did not know what happened to him and where he was now. "He was not there when Luna and I showed up?"

"Ah~ No." Alex nodded. She bit her lips in frustration.

"Hmmm It's fine. It's not your fault. I don't think he is in a place where we can reach him. There is no trace of him." Liam sighed.

"So that weapon?" Alex gasped.

"Yes... And I have no idea what type of weapon that axe is..."

He silently pondered for a bit. There was only one person he could think of who could help them now.

He needed to meet the blacksmith elder to get more information. Maybe he can shed some light on what happened to Derek.
