1028 You maniac! "Ah... About that..." Liam watched as the dragon princess, for some reason, suddenly started backpedaling. "Hmmm?" He frowned. "I did my part. Now it's your turn." "Yes. Yes. Of course, it's my turn, but there is a small catch." She awkwardly laughed. Liam did not look pleased about the direction this conversation was headed, but more than that, the Oracle was the one who felt as if he was in the hot seat. If this woman did not help Liam at this moment, then his prediction of her being an ally wouldn't come true! And if that happens... Before this crazy monster killed him, Liam would definitely kill him first! Caden gulped and then bowed to the mysterious woman respectfully. "Miss... please don't create any unnecessary trouble. Please just help. Our entire world is resting in your hands." The monk also vigorously nodded his head. He had no idea what was going on, but the thing in front of him was absolutely freakish. It needed to die ASAP! "All my blessings are with you, miss. Please help." Feeling the three pairs of accusing eyes on her, the draconian princess immediately cleared her throat. "What are you all hinting at? I am a proud woman of the dragon race. We do not go back on our words! Hmph!" "As for the method to kill this guy, first, I need some information from you." Liam's face twitched. "What information?" "Just how far have you progressed in your soul manipulation technique?" "Hmmm? What does that have to do with this? Didn't you say that you will help me kill it?" "Ah... Right... About that... I meant that I will guide you." The woman laughed awkwardly again. "You still have to do the work." "By work, you mean... risk my life and fight that thing which is more than 400 levels above me?" "Brat! Don't put the blame on me. Firstly, the isons are one of the easiest parasites to deal with. Only the really useless lower realms suffer from these kinds of stupid insects." "Do you even know how long they have existed and for how many centuries they have been trying to eat their way through the universe?" "In all those years, after so many invasions and struggles, I can count just a handful of Kings who have successfully emerged from their propaganda." "Yes, it is true that they have the advantage of extreme evolution, but if they are dealt with within the first couple of days, then they are basically no different than a hive of harmless flies." "It is not my fault that your backward planet did not have even this basic information and allowed one of the most annoying parasites to develop to this extent." Liam looked at the woman, still remaining calm, and blankly said. "Just get to the point." He was not agitated in the least about the missed opportunity. It was pointless to worry about things beyond one control. It was also pointless to think about what could have been done. Right now, the only thing that mattered was the opponent in front of him. The draconian princess crossed her hands in front of her chest and then exhaled loudly. "You ungrateful brat. You are the one who is refusing to cooperate." "Look here. While the isons are easy to take out in the first couple of days, dealing with them even a week later is an entirely different matter." "The power level of that beast standing in front of you should tell you that much. He has grown this big thanks to all the human essence the little ones have been feeding him." "This is also not the end of it." "He will continue to grow even bigger. It doesn't matter if he has hatched or not, an ison King has the ability to devour your entire world." "And a King born from devouring a realm is a frightening opponent. The current Ison Kings roaming around in the myriad realms are also powerful beings." "So you have no other choice except to deal with him right now and here. This is why it is important that you tell me everything. How much have you progressed in your soul manipulation technique?" "Besides, we have already signed a contract. What is the point of hiding things anymore? Is it such a big deal to reveal the extent of your ability to manipulate souls?" Liam narrowed his eyes. He did not reply to her immediately and contemplated the words the woman had spoken in silence. While he had pretty much figured out some things about these insects, he still did not know that the isons had such a background, and there were many Kings born even before this. It was not a bad idea to sign the contract after all. As a member of the draconian race, this woman could possess a lot of knowledge that could help him deal with the threats that stared at him from all different directions. "What do you want to know about my soul manipulation?" Liam asked. "Dear Gessiyah! Why are you being so stingy with your words?" The draconian princess became impatient. She suddenly scoffed and walked closer to Liam, then unexpectedly reached forward and tugged at the crystal ball he was wearing like a pendant around his neck. "You are hanging your achievement for the entire world to see, and yet you try to be secretive?" "Huh?" Immediately the one Oracle and the one Monk looked at the scene in confusion. What was she talking about? The draconian princess shook her head helplessly. "What? You expect me to believe that this is a simple trinket like these two fools? Was I born yesterday?" She looked at Liam directly in his eyes and smirked. "Brat, my abilities are on an entirely different level when compared to yours. So don't even try to hide. This is a ball of souls." "This means that your soul strength and your soul manipulation ability are high enough to control a ball of souls constantly!" Liam narrowed his eyes, coldly returning the gaze of the draconian princess. He then nodded. "Yes, it is a ball of souls." He did not attempt to hide anything. The princess smirked proudly as if she had unlocked an achievement. She continued playing around with the condensed ball of souls when she once again abruptly tugged at the crystal. "You maniac!" She shouted in shock. "What have you done? How many souls are within this ball?" "Oh?" Liam raised his brow. Could she sense even that? "Yes. I can sense it. Of course, I can sense it!" She sighed in exasperation, clearly reading Liam's thoughts. She stared at him for a moment, thinking about something, and then the obvious dawned on her. "You! You have condensed a whole swarm into this ball, haven't you?" Liam smiled. She was correct once again. To be more precise, an entire red zone was hanging around his neck!
