Chapter 1324 Escaped?

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Liam was speechless. "You mean I slept for so many days?"

Eldrin shook his head. "No, my Lord. You slept for a few hours but your meditation session went on for quite a while. You must have made significant progress huh? Is your soul injury cured?" The elf asked with a bitter smile.

Liam's face changed. The elf's words were shoving daggers deeper into his wounds and twisting them. No. He hadn't made any progress at all. In fact, he had failed in every single attempt. However, he was pretty sure he hadn't spent that much time. What was happening? Did he lose track of time while practicing the technique? Did he underestimate the difficulty of the technique? When the instructor warned him that the technique would be extremely difficult, he didn't think too much about it but now he understood the ten years time limit. Maybe there was even a real chance of failing to comprehend the technique in ten years?!!

No. He couldn't let that happen under any circumstance.

Before he could make sense of the situation, the golden glow fully enveloped them, followed by utter darkness. The darkness jolted him from his stupor. Liam quickly snapped out of it. No matter what had happened in the Spire he would have to think about it later. Now there were far more pressing concerns. He was being shoved back into the real world and that meant he would be facing a whole slew of attacks, all aimed to slaughter him. He would return to the same time point in Nymphomania and they hadn't left on a good note. They had run away from an army of angry beings in Nymphomania and now they would all be right where he left them.

But now there wasn't much holding him back. Liam's anger and frustration surged from getting kicked out of the Spire so unceremoniously. He had wanted to climb more and gain more and he was already done. Had he been too weak for the Spire? Was his strength not comparable to the other elites of the myriad realms?

The strongest of the myriad realms had managed to reach all the way up to tenth segment and eleventh segment but he couldn't even cross the fifth segment. This was his limit?

Liam felt a surge of energy as everything returned to him including his spatial artifact and all the items he was wearing before he entered. He could feel Luna's presence and his other newly contracted beasts presence and the next instant, he could also feel the presence of the overwhelming oppressive energy all around him.

He could feel the tremendous pressure exerted by the combined attacks waiting to explode his body. This was it. They were going to be put back right in the midst of the chaos and commotion.

Just like that the last tendrils of the barrier between himself and the surroundings broke off and Liam, and everyone else materialized in the same spot as before.

In front of a violent mob who couldn't wait to rip him to shreds. The draconian family young master was still there in front of the system shop, bombarding him with attacks along with many others. An unnecessary complication he neither needed nor wanted.

Also, all of them were completely unaware of what had happened in the last 99 days.

Liam had crushed the Spire token while some barriers were still active so the few attacks landed on the barriers and broke them apart. Now the group was standing helpless and vulnerable unprotected. There was nothing between them and the angry mob. At least in the eyes of others.

A vicious smirk appeared on the draconian family young master as his murderous gaze locked onto Liam. For a moment he felt as if something was different, something had changed but he immediately shook it off. Today he was going to destroy this arrogant fool.

However, the next second, a ripple of intense energy spread out. Young master Kael shuddered as he felt a domineering presence gaze down on him. It was suffocating. He could feel the blood lust that wrapped him around and tried to snuff him out.

Liam's gaze met his and at the same time spikes of nether and ice struck the monolithe he was using to block all spatial distortions.

"Impossible!" Kael's face turned grave, but he couldn't prevent what was happening next. In front of the system shop, Liam easily activated a teleportation token to return back to his home world right in front of his eyes. Kael hurriedly tried to mobilize a few more spatial destabilizers when unexpectedly none of his methods seemed to work. A pitch-black fortress appeared around Liam and nothing he did was able to pass through that fortress.

"He… He erected a domain?" Kael's eyes went wide.

"What the heck? How is his domain so strong?" Kael was not able to understand. What was happening? One second he was winning and the next second everything was completely upside down. How could there be such a sudden power surge? At this rate… the arrogant fool was definitely going to escape and he wouldn't be able to do a single thing.

On the other side, Liam strengthened the domain further. He might have failed in climbing the Spire higher but he was not going to lose here. He imbued his domain more and more with his two dao seeds, the combined effect further amplified by his recent progress and increase in stats. Every single one of the attacks falling on the group sizzled and fizzed out as the fortress formed an impregnable barrier.

Right in front of everyone's eyes the teleportation token fully activated and the figures standing in the midst of the chaos disappeared one after the other. Right up till the last moment, Kael did not give up and tried to use some sort of artifact but it was already too late. The spot in front of the system shop was completely deserted. The entire group was gone. They had all escaped.

"Arrrghhh!" The young master trembled in rage and humiliation. He turned to grab the person standing next to him. "You said I was going to capture him. You said I was going to win! Did your mana mirror lie?! Or have you become incompetent. Tell me." "Because I can help you with both of these. If your divination mirror is no longer useful, I will break it for you. If you are no longer able to divine then I will break you. Perhaps in your rebirth you will be more useful!"

The poor guy shivered. "My Lord, please have mercy. My divination is not wrong. They will get captured. They cannot return home. They will be held prisoners. I am sure of it, my lord. They cannot leave Nymphomania today. I am not lying."

Kael snorted in contempt as he waved a few of his bodyguards to deal with the raving lunatic. He then crushed a token and teleported from the world. This time around the trip had been a complete waste. This was why he never listened to these mirror diviners. They were all a bunch of scammers. His grandfather was merely foolish to trust the words of these liars.

As for that person… Kael clenched his fists. Sooner or later, he would find out his identity and when he did that arrogant fool was going to pay.

Meanwhile…

Liam opened his eyes. His face changed immediately because he knew something was wrong. He couldn't sense Luna at all. He couldn't sense any of his contracted beasts. This had nothing to do with the Spire because his spatial artifact and his other possessions were intact.

He turned to the side to see Rey, Madan and Lan Deming standing with him, looking equally puzzled. Coincidentally both Eldrin and Dante were missing. Liam was pretty sure the both of them had been right next to him back in Nymphomania but now they were somehow missing.

What was happening? Was the teleportation successful? Was there some sort of malfunction in the teleportation token?

Just as his mind raced to think about what he might have potentially missed, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Hello. Hello. Hello. Monsieur. Welcome to the wonderland. We are so glad to have you all. Please allow this humble bard to sing a song in your praise and make this stay as comfortable as possible."
