Chapter 585 What happened?

"Ah! These are seriously too many players! Will they be able to break the barrier?" One of the mages standing on the wall worriedly mumbled.

"Of course not." A figure landed with a thud next to him, "These pigs think they can take advantage of us? Fuck no." Alex pointed her sword and smote one of the melee players rushing forward to strike the barrier.

The thick mana barrier glowed brightly as several attacks pelted it one after the other. The barrier held strong, but the players seemed relentless.

They were determined to break through the defenses today. Seeing this, everyone standing on the inside couldn't help but become nervous.

"Heh. Why are you all worried? They are attacking us out of greed. Let's show these fools the strength of our guild residence. Want to attack an S-rank guild? Keep dreaming." Alex smirked.

"Let's fire up the cannons. I don't want to take any chances, and I don't want these pests loitering outside our guild residence for long."

The group of players standing near Alex immediately became overjoyed. Ever since they upgraded the guild defense, they had been itching to try this out.

Meanwhile… inside the main guild hall, Liam finally stirred awake.

"Brother! Brother! Are you okay?" Mei Mei immediately grabbed him and shook him.

"Hey… mmm… wait." Thanks to the girl's tough love, the guy who had just now recovered once again began feeling faint.

Shen Yue saw this and immediately pulled the little girl aside. "Mei Mei! Stop! You are hurting him!"

"Ah… Sorry, brother." She wiped her eyes and mumbled. The little girl's face was full of tears. Shen Yue's eyes were also reddened.

Only Mia was calm and composed as she continued attending to Luna and cast several healing spells on her in intervals.

Liam slowly rubbed his head and sat up. In the end, he wasn't too sure what happened. He felt a severe pain spread across his body, and he felt very weak. He had really strained himself too much this time.

At least, was it successful? He needed to know this. Otherwise, they might still be in danger. He hurriedly opened the system interface to check even though his vision was blurry and his body swayed.

"Brother, what happened?" Mei Mei looked worried.

"Liam, you should take some more rest." Shen Yue held him up to support him.

However, Liam still continued to open his stats and checked his list of soul followers. Chickens, rabbits, wolves, bears, imps, dryads, and… and…

Liam rubbed his eyes vigorously. He couldn't believe it. He just couldn't believe it. There it was! Beneath his first human soul soldier, there was now another human soul soldier.

[Ding. Do you wish to name your soldier?]

"Yes," Liam muttered dazedly. He was still reeling in the fact that he had actually won. "Crawford." He named the guy because the blacksmith elder had called him so.

He then hurriedly summoned the guy. The next instant, white translucent wisps started gathering near him. They slowly morphed together and took shape.

Not the shape of the burly close combat mage but the shape of a stern old man, lean and mean.

"Ah~ brother, who is this?" Mei Mei gulped, inching away slightly closer to Liam. Just looking at him, this guy was quite fearful.

Shen Yue and Mia as well turned to look at the newly summoned being in awe. They had only seen chickens and rabbits, so they were quite shocked to see a full human being appear in front of them.

Had Liam already progressed this much?

The two of them looked at Liam, only to find him absent-mindedly staring at the old man. He was also looking at the person for the first time. So this was the guy who had almost made their life a hell.

"Can you talk?" Liam asked slowly, coughing a little.

However, the soul in front of him did not respond.

"Hmmm?" Liam's face changed.

He then summoned Gorak out. "Master!" The guy immediately flashed a smile that looked shady and did a salute. Liam's face twitched. This guy… he had so much attitude and individuality. So… why was the other soul very different?

He closed his eyes and tried to get a grasp of the two of them.

Mei Mei, Shen Yue, and Mia stayed quietly without disturbing. They could see that Liam was dealing with something important, so the three of them simply stared at them.

Seconds ticked by and then minutes. Finally, after fifteen minutes, Liam flashed his eyes open. They were filled with shock and disbelief.

He then once again closed his eyes as if he was double-checking something. This time he was sure. It was unmistakable.

"Execute a sword technique," Liam commanded.

Immediately, the soul follower stayed silent and waved his hands as if he was holding a sword.

"What do you know about the stone tablet? Did you target me because of that?"

Surprisingly, for this command, the soul follower stayed silent. Gorak snickered on the side. Liam ignored that guy and continued to look at the tower master in perplexion. This confirmed his thoughts.

The soul in front of him was incomplete!

Gorak's soul was complete. It might not be 100% perfect, but it was complete, and the annoying guy was all there.

However, the tower master's soul was very different. Maybe only half of his soul or less than half was there, and because of this, he didn't have any personality or memories that gave him the traits and characters.

In a way, this was better. He would listen to his commands and follow him with absolute obedience, unlike the slacker standing in front of him.

The only question was… what happened to the tower master now? Losing about half of his soul must have surely made him weak?

Liam turned to look at Mia. "Tower?" He faintly asked.

"The tower disappeared completely." Mia immediately explained to him what had happened.

"I need to go and meet the blacksmith elder." Liam nodded with a sigh of relief. It looked like, at least for now, they were not in any immediate danger.

If the tower disappeared and they were able to leave freely, then it should be fine. Maybe this was over. But what about the rewards? And what about… He looked at Luna, who was resting nearby.

"She is fine now. She is recovering." Mia said.

Liam was about to reach the little fox when he felt a searing headache course through his brain and his body once again swayed. He could do all of this analysis and research later.

For now, he needed to rest and recover. He took out the flask and drank the special astral water. It helped him recover a little, but he was still very tired.

Liam frowned. At the same time, he heard several loud fireworks from outside. "Is our guild under attack?"
