1070 What is it?



Liam did not know why, but once the idea surfaced in his mind, it took root, and he couldn't shake it. Since he had no idea what else he could do at the moment, he swiftly decided to deal with this thought one way or the other.

After enquiring with one of the guild members, he once again dashed into the magic shop and took a portal to the zone where Madan was currently fighting. 

The group of players became alarmed on seeing Liam, wondering if something big was going to go down. However, Liam unexpectedly just called the hunter to the side and asked him.

Madan was even more confused. "Ah… you mean that day when I got here? Bro, honestly, I am not sure. I have never seen that guy before, and I also did not pay much attention to him."

"No. Think carefully. I need to know this." Liam stressed.

Madan nodded solemnly, understanding the urgency of the situation. He racked his brain thinking about it and, in the end, remembered something. 

"The two or three people who were waiting for you were talking to Abraki in some Arabic language, bro. Sorry, that's all I am able to remember."

Liam's eyes immediately brightened up. This was enough. He could now track down this guild. He once again dashed to the magic shop. 

"When did bro learn to fly?" Madan swallowed.

Seeing him flying at top speed, everyone was in awe. In their eyes, right now, Liam might as well be wearing a cape and his underwear outside.

However, only the Crimson Abyss elites had a different look on their faces. They could see that, once again, something was going on. In fact, every single one of them had a look of dread on their faces as they had never seen Liam so serious before.

"Let's finish this fast and head back to the guild," Alex murmured and continued fighting with a pensive look on her face.

Meanwhile, Liam used the portal and arrived at the place Abraki was currently fighting. And just like Madan had said, the man indeed remembered all the details Liam needed.

"That's the Pyramid guild." Abraki immediately gave the information that he knew. "That day, the Pyramid guild leader visited you to request assistance. Actually, the guild vice-leader."

"I am not sure if you heard about that guild before, but back in the game, they were one of the top guilds. After the apocalypse, their standing has plummeted."

"Their guild leader Asim is currently unwell. Have you heard of him?"

Liam once again shook his head. He had heard about neither of them. Even if they were a huge guild, they did not amount to much because he hadn't heard about them even in his last life.

"Liam, don't underestimate Asim. How should I put it? His skill level is not normal. He could be compared to Lan Deming in our guild. No. He is definitely more capable than him, perhaps even as powerful as you."

Hmmmm… Liam raised a brow.

Abraki sighed. "I am sorry. I just want to be honest and prepare you for the visit." 

Liam waved his hand, signaling him to continue. He was not someone who would get his ego bruised so easily.

Abraki nodded and continued. "Asim's real abilities started to shine only after the apocalypse began. We are both from the neighboring zones, so I have personally seen him fight on numerous occasions."

"Both during the first wave of the apocalypse and when the isons had assaulted, he had fought in the frontlines. He alone almost took care of an entire swarm protecting his guild."

Liam frowned. What he was hearing did not make sense. If someone was so powerful, then what was he doing when everything was going down?

"But it's not all good news. When the isons had invaded, he suddenly stopped fighting on the second day. He did not even show his face outside after that. No one knows what happened to him."

"It was only the other day that they revealed that he is sick with something. I am not sure what happened to him."

"Hmmm." Liam nodded. "Ok, thanks. I will contact them directly." He then returned to the magic shop shortly, finally taking a portal to the magic shop closest to the guild.

He was not sure how the world seed fragment was related to this guild leader Asim or the guild, but it did make sense that he would be strong if he kept consuming something related to the seed fragment just like Helikatos, the spider with whom Liam had fought against.

Before heading to the guild, he first scanned through his messages and the guild chat to get an idea about what was happening. This did not take very long as the Pyramid guild had been extensively messaging in the chat, asking for anyone's and everyone's help.

From the looks of it, they were very desperate.

From what Liam could see, the person probably ingested something related to the world seed fragment and became quite powerful. Perhaps he himself did not even know about the world seed and kept consuming it, creating an adverse effect. 

This would explain his strength and his illness.

Liam understood the situation in general and hoped that his hail mary assumption would actually be correct. Either way, there was only one thing he could do to find out about it. Go there and see for himself!

Just as Liam prepared to leave, the draconian princess also hurriedly walked over to him. "I can help you find it."

Liam paused, giving the woman a blank stare.

"You can trust me." The draconian princess sighed. "Now is not the time to reject my help."

Liam thought about it for a moment before nodding. He knew he couldn't trust her, but the woman was not wrong. At this moment, he had to take every help he was offered. The two of them took the portal and arrived at the Pyramid guild.

They were standing somewhere in the middle of Egypt. Just like Crimson Abyss, the guild was located not too far from the magic shop. The two of them quickly reached the main building.

They barely took a step inside when the draconian princess suddenly stopped. She closed her eyes and took a deep whiff.

Liam froze, looking at her expectantly. The next second, the woman flashed her eyes open. "What is it?" Liam asked her expectantly.

However… the draconian princess only shook her head slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"I am sorry, Liam. But the world seed is definitely not here."
