Chapter 786 You Are Being Unreasonable!

Seeing the utter dread on the mayor's face, Liam calmly smiled. A Level 15 field boss was nothing to him, but he was not planning to make a move anytime soon. "You said that you did not want our help, right?" He sneered at the desperate guy mercilessly.

At the same time, his hand was busy as he started converting all of the dead human souls into his minions, one after the other.

After all, these were trained professionals who had spent at least two years in the police academy learning how to do their jobs well. He did not want to miss out on such valuable, skilled minions.

Seeing the smug smile on the other party's face, the mayor trembled uncontrollably. "You are being unreasonable! Everyone is dying! Can't you see?" He simply wanted to slap the s.h.i.+t out of him, but he couldn't risk staying here any longer.

He started scrambling to run away, but he suddenly found himself flying and landing right next to the giant beast. Liam had grabbed him and tossed him back to the front lines.

Ahhhhh! The mayor screamed.

"Not so fast." Liam smiled. "Stay and defend and protect everyone. You are not going anywhere today."

The man became further terrified and started shouting madly, "You! Traitor! Traitor! He is a traitor! Shoot him down!" The only problem was that all the cops next to him were already squashed like bugs by the boss.

Unable to think clearly, he lunged towards a gun that was lying nearby and started shooting Liam down himself. Seeing that he was not moving, the mayor's face twisted into a pathetic smile. He even got a couple of shots in.

However, only then did he realize that something was off. The bullets that landed on the guy definitely made holes in his s.h.i.+rt, but that was the extent of the damage they were able to cause. There was no blood, or even a scratch, for that matter.

"What" The mayor stared at the sight dumbfoundedly.

"Just how big of an idiot are you?" Liam shook his head helplessly. "Alright. I think that this is enough." He summoned one of the wyverns, who immediately took control of the situation. It first squashed the mayor, who was talking a bit too much.

The giant gorilla immediately noticed this new entry. The beast, who had been rampaging around until now as if it were the King of this land, suddenly came to a halt on seeing the real King.

It dazedly eyed the wyvern in fear and shock, and the next second, a burst of flame a.s.saulted the beast, completely roasting it from top to bottom.

Thud!

Just like that, the boss of the gate collapsed lifelessly. Everyone who witnessed this stood frozen on the spot, blankly staring at the scene.

Soon afterwards, the gate started crackling and sputtering once again. To all the people still scattered around the area, this felt like a death sentence. They immediately prepared to flee again, but surprisingly, something different happened this time.

Instead of another monster stepping out, the portal simply became duller and duller, finally vanis.h.i.+ng into nothingness. Like it had never been there, the mysterious gate vanished from sight.

Huh? Huh? What happened to that ma.s.sive thing?

Did it just disappear?

Did they win?

Was it over?

Everyone gulped as they looked around in pure horror. Was everything really over?

Only Liam casually walked forward and placed the gorilla corpse into his spatial artifact as if he couldn't care less about anything else.

He also put the corpses of some of the other beasts that had died nearby into the same artifact. Then he began looking carefully at the ground for something.

The next second, he picked up a small crystal from the ground. It was a mana core. "Got it. Our job here is done." He coolly whistled and started walking toward the guild group after dismissing all the recently created soul minions.

The guild members were all still staring at him.

Alex rolled her eyes at this drama. This guy always had to overdo it. "You couldn't have done this in any other way?" She shook her head.

"Heh." Liam chuckled. "This was not just for putting on a show. This was a lesson for everyone. Look around you. There are eyes everywhere. We can't go around dealing with everyone one at a time, can we? Who has the time for that?"

"Well, I guess I could have taken a more direct approach, but that would have been way more brutal, and there would have been even more casualties. Letting the boss teach them a thing or two instead was definitely the better option."

Alex was speechless. Why was it even necessary to have casualties in the first place? People were not in their right minds at the moment. So maybe showing them a little bit of patience was required.

Liam shook his head. He could clearly see what she was thinking. "See I don't want to kill everyone mindlessly. I do think that they deserve a chance to change."

"But at the same time, they needed to know that I do not have any problems with allowing a few deaths." Liam smiled.

He was, in fact, extremely serious. Right now, manpower was something that was needed. The casualties in this city were very low because he had intervened, but that was not the case everywhere.

The world right now was facing severe death and destruction. So he wanted to avoid ma.s.sacring everyone, even if they were idiots and even if they deserved it. But that didn't mean he was going to be endlessly patient with them no matter what they do.

There would be a bottom line, and just for today, this bottom line was a bit lenient. Everyone needed at least a day to come to terms with the new reality. Even after that, if some people didn't want to follow the new rules, then there would be a price to pay.

What Liam said did make sense, so everyone nodded in understanding, but at the same time, how exactly was he planning to bring everyone under his control?

There was just too much chaos and commotion at the moment, and there were far too many people to handle. When compared to this, their numbers in this city were very pitiful.

No one had previously realized how important Liam's earlier warnings would prove to be until now. If they had, then perhaps their entire guild could have been here, and they would have been unshakeable.

But now, with just this small fraction of people, everything was going to be difficult.

Liam, on the other hand, seemed to not care about this issue. He looked very confident as if he had already planned everything out, just like back in the game.

"Hey Now what? You have something on your mind?" Alex asked, gripping the axe in her hand tightly, ready to fight.

Liam smiled. "Well, first things first. There are five other gates in the city, so there should be five more bosses. Let's deal with them first."
