Chapter 1300 Got it!

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

The visibility in the battlefield wasn't all that great to begin with and now it was at its all-time low because of the constant bombardment of all sorts of attacks. Powerful auras and explosive attacks surged forth here and there making everyone's hair stand erect but even after several seconds not a single one of them breached the barrier.

Just how strong was the dao field protecting them? All eyes were on Liam as he single-handedly dealt with the red-eyed lunatics who just wouldn't stop targeting them.

Eldrin's back was fully drenched with sweat. He had heard many tales about the Spire and some mentioned that the opportunity was both a disaster and a blessing. He now knew what that meant. There was no way he could have dealt with something like this on his own.

Eldrin's thoughts were abruptly cut short as a new wave of attackers surged forward, their eyes gleaming with the same crimson malevolent light.

But this time something was different. One of the attacks actually managed to crack the dao field, almost reaching the group. The elf quickly acted, blocking the attack. He then turned to look at Liam to see what was wrong, only to find the guy grinning like a mad man.

As for the vampire who was currently giving him a headache, he was someone named Gorendth. He was a bright young scion of some family called Blood Tear. And the reason why he was getting targeted at the moment was also pretty straightforward. It was not because of some personal vendetta. Thank god. The vampires simply had a standing order from above to kill all the other elites they come across in the Spire.

In fact, they were even authorized to sacrifice as many foot soldiers as they needed to get this done. This made Liam think that something else was going on.

If the vampires were indeed preparing for some sort of grand war, then they wouldn't be sacrificing the grunts left and right like this. But that was also a problem for another time. Maybe he could learn more if he captured more souls.

Liam grunted as he channeled the dark energy he had saved in one of the chambers of the heart fruit. There was no special reason he picked this energy this time. Constantly maintaining a dao field was extremely straining and draining. It was good that he had stored himself full of all sorts of energy, fully utilizing the heart fruit. Now he was draining all the chambers one after the other while slowly trying to fill them back up. Without this advantage, he would have been hard pressed to constantly fight against these high-leveled grunts one after the other. Liam could not even fathom the power of a faction that would freely use such high-leveled beings as expendables. This was a harsh reminder that he was no longer back on earth or in the tutorial world. He was now in the vast wide cosmos where there were myriad realms and myriad powers.

Liam continued slashing down the vampires and gathering as many souls as he could. Soon, they finally arrived at the inner section of the golden pyramid. Now they only had to cross over less than five platforms to arrive at the end point, the golden pyramid.

He had assumed that the vampires would finally give up on their chase now but they were still hot on their trail. It was extremely unsettling to watch one vampire after another aging to become a dry husk as they combusted themselves to fight back.

But Liam knew that they were not doing this for fun. They were doing it purposefully and it was to tire him out before someone stronger arrived.

Liam was right on money as the next second a group of vampires descended down on a couple of platforms away from him. He instantly knew that this was going to be different because these ones hadn't followed them here. These ones had clearly jumped off the golden pyramid back onto the platforms.
