Chapter 1087 That's enough

Chapter 1087  That's enough

Liam did not have much experience using nether but at this moment it felt like his attack was still not enough. The guardian beasts were not completely subdued just yet. Just like he suspected, they were beginning to break free from the nether prison.

However, Liam gritted his teeth, as he tried to maintain his control over them. Meanwhile, nether raged in his body wreaking havoc at all ends. At this rate, even with the world seed's aid, he would only be able to last for a couple more seconds.

He could see that he needed to do more. With a loud grunt, he reached in for more.

As he pushed himself to the limits, dark tendrils of nether appeared around the pillars and they began to intertwine with them. The additional surge of power created a sinister aura that intensified the grip on the guardian beasts.

Even the strong life force of these powerful beasts felt the corrosive aura of the attack. The beasts roared and thrashed, their struggles growing more desperate as they fought against the increasingly oppressive hold of the nether.

Liam, on the other end, was not doing that much better. Dark black lines started appearing on his body. His breathing grew labored and his body trembled under the strain.

The dark black lines on his skin pulsed and writhed, spreading across his body like intricate veins. The nether threatened to consume him, to turn him into a vessel of darkness.

Liam did not know how long he could endure it. He also had a feeling that he was unnecessarily overusing the energy creating even more damage in his body than was needed.

Despite being in the current precarious condition, his mind felt oddly calm, probably thanks to the world seed and he felt as if he was at the cusp of understanding something about nether.



He tried to focus to get to this elusive thought in his mind as he desperately needed another trump card at the moment. However, before that could happen, suddenly a loud explosive sound reverberated in the distant ocean.

Liam, including all the guardian beasts, even Luna this time, turned to stare dumbfoundedly in the same direction.

However, the only thing that was visible was millions of droplets of water falling from the sky, creating a mesmerizing sight as they cascaded down in a torrential downpour. ????????????????????????????????.????????????

Liam's eyes widened in surprise as he watched the spectacle unfold. As the water droplets fell, they began to gather and coalesce, forming a colossal figure amidst the chaos.

It was a being composed entirely of water, towering over the ocean's surface with an imposing presence. The ocean from which it had emerged now only had a deep void within it.

Liam's face fell. Where the hell did this thing come from?

The damn thing was colossal! Bigger than all of the guardian beasts put together!

His control over the guardian beasts was already cracking and on top of that he was now supposed to fight this massive calamity?

But then a thought entered Liam's mind. Perhaps this was a water effigy just like the blood effigy with which he had battled earlier. Perhaps a stronger being who had restrictions had conjured this being.

However, the moment the thought entered his mind, it was already shattered as the enormous water thing opened its eyes. Further, as if the water was simply a coating covering its body, the being now revealed a dark navy blue shiny coat.

The blue coat glimmered under the reflection of the stormy skies, exuding an aura of power and dominance that sent a chill down Liam's spine and he could finally see its full figure. It was a colossal whale-like creature.

And as it opened its eyes, a pair of blood-red crimson orbs were revealed.

Liam instantly knew that he was screwed. He did not have the time to think about these red eyes but the hostility in them was unmistakable. This meant that there was now yet another enemy he had to face and defend against to obtain possession of the world seed.

His mind raced to find a strategy, but the overwhelming odds stacked against him made it difficult to come up with a plan. All he wanted to do was survive and build a home where he and his family could live. Why was that so difficult?

Ignited by the helplessness and frustration he felt, a rage bubbled inside him. Reflecting his mood, the nether around him churned. At the same time, the mana around him also responded.

With his body almost at the limit, Liam pushed forward. However, before he could do anything, unexpectedly a wave of warmth washed over him.

"That's enough, human." A strange voice sounded.

Liam stilled as he could see the source of the voice. It was coming from the colossal whale. "I am not your enemy. Halt your actions. You are harming yourself."

And the very next second, Liam shivered as a wave of agonizing pain washed over him. It looked like his physical body was truly at its limits controlling this amount of nether at once. However, he couldn't let go just like that. If something were to happen-

"Hmm. I see you are not one to easily listen to well-wishers."

As soon as the beast finished talking, a loud rhythmic humming resounded in Liam's ears. Without waiting for Liam to obey the orders, the beast made a move.

But weirdly enough, Liam did not feel any pain after that. It was almost as if there was a healing component in that melodious hum.

"No. I haven't healed you." The beast once again spoke as if it read his mind. "It's an illusion that temporarily helps your mind to think calmly."

"You can also release those idiots in your grasp. I have placed everyone under my illusionary spell. They will not stop you again. Do what is needed while I hold everyone back."

"Don't just stand there. When someone is helping you, accept it. Now go."
