Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 1018 I Am Not Interested
"I already finished what you started. The war is over, and everything ended well. It is now time for you to die."
The moment Liam finished talking, a few sparks started coming out of the tips of the ice spears as if they had almost succeeded in taking down the barrier.
Liam's grin widened.

As if unaware of the reality unfolding around him, the Oracle was still in his own world.
"What about injury? How did you treat it? Are you no longer held back by it? Did this happen in the nether dungeon? Is that soul trinket you are wearing around your neck also obtained from the same dungeon?"
"Hmmm… you are too nosy, aren't you?"
The sparks started buzzing louder, and the ice spears were inching closer.
One of them snapped, and the Oracle finally came to his senses. He turned his head to his left and then to his right, realization of his current plight dawning on him.
He looked a little agitated and even used the same summoning spell a couple more times, but unfortunately, it was in vain.
The powerful illusion and the dark creatures were just as useless as the first time. Liam took care of the creatures in a jiffy without so much as lifting a finger.
Seeing that nothing was working and his time was almost up, the Oracle then spoke with an urgency in his voice.
"Listen to me. Do not act in haste. I am not your enemy. I am only trying to-"
Unfortunately for him, before he could finish his words, Liam chuckled again and made a flicking motion with his fingers.
"I am not interested."
The ice spears that were struggling to enter the invisible barrier up until now all burrowed through at the same time, skewering the man at the center like a piece of meat.
Liam then slowly stood up, giving a satisfied nod at the end result. This was finally over.
…
…
…
At the exact same time…
At a place slightly far away from the battleground, a man silently appeared out of thin air. He flashed his eyes open as he gasped, sucking in a big mouthful of air.
Caden was alive once again!
His body which was previously skewered and punctured in various places, was mysteriously somehow put back together without a single injury on it.
He was currently naked, but he was alive and whole.
He was also no longer agitated. He was once again calm and composed. He stood up casually from the muddy ground and dusted himself. Sighing, he looked at his hand.
His gaze landed on the ring on his middle finger.
<Archangel's Boon>
<Item Effect: Restore life from the grips of death. Not even the reaper will be able to claim your soul>
The trinket no longer had the same splendor. The translucent gemstone at the center was cracked.
The ring had done its job, and now it was gone. He had also been reborn from death, but with a slight drawback. He was back to Level 1 and had also lost all the skills he had painstakingly gathered.
Caden chuckled slightly. This was a huge loss but not something he wouldn't be able to overcome with a little effort. The important part was he was still alive!
Of course, he wouldn't have preferred to use this item unless it was absolutely required, but today was one such day. Today he simply had to die. There were no two ways about it.
However, that didn't mean he couldn't die and still be alive. Where there was a will, there was a way. He had foreseen his death, and now he had survived. This was a victory.
He sucked in another breath of air, wondering what was the situation outside. Too many things had happened.
Unfortunately, he couldn't change much of it since the consequences would have been disastrous, so big that there would have been a planetary mass decimation.
He had no other choice except to let it all play out. It was a weird feeling to know the future and yet not be the driving force behind it.
Moreover, the losses today had been far too many to count. Could the United Nations guilds even recover from this?
Perhaps he had to rebuild everything from scratch. It was not going to be easy, but now he had a lot more information on the man who was no less than a monster.
Also, he had an upper hand above him. He was still alive!
But Caden was not too pleased with it. The thing was… having an upper hand over him had never really been the issue.
The real problem was every single time he planned to use this advantage, it was he or his team that ended up in the negative.
Liam always managed to find a way to come out on top. It was almost as if he too could predict the future.
Caden sighed. His head hurt just thinking about that monster. He also still hadn't made his decision about him.
When Liam was concerned, he had two choices, to join him or to oppose him, and he hadn't picked one yet. There were reasons to go either way, but there was something that was preventing him from making this decision.
He did not know why. Especially when that man was concerned, he had always felt as if he was missing something big. His gut instinct told him that he did not have the whole picture.
However, he also knew that he couldn't postpone this decision much longer.
Every time they clashed, the lines of fate tangled up inexplicably. More importantly, the blows he was taking were also becoming bigger and bigger.
The next they met, he had a feeling that he might not escape alive, no matter what item or ability he managed to salvage.
That man was a true monster. Caden couldn't help but think back to the interaction they just had. His body trembled as he recollected the aura of death that clung to him.
It was no wonder Kouske was never able to hold a candle to him. However, what about him? Could he really stand against someone like that?
If he ever were to achieve this, then he needed the help of the fairies all the more. It was good that they accepted his services.
Hmmm… Caden hummed in contemplation.
Several strategies flashed past his mind, and as he turned around to leave, engrossed in these thoughts, unexpectedly, a familiar face greeted him.
"Leaving so soon?"
Liam was once again standing right in front of Caden. The Oracle froze.
