Chapter 55: Time's About Up!
The sudden interruption left Zanis's face momentarily stunned. A very young Far Eastern adventurer, cloaked in grayish-black.
Directly broke through the closed Familia gate.
When he came back to his senses, he discovered Lili had already run to Liam's side, and even in front of so many Familia members.
Was saying words he couldn't understand at all…
With things developing to this point, the cause and effect gradually became clear. No wonder Lili, as a supporter.
Would choose such a bold method, drugging the Familia members, wanting to bypass him to discuss leaving the Familia with Soma.
So the backup plan was Liam.
Looking at that unfamiliar adventurer's face, Zanis's expression was uncertain, "So that's how it is…"
"So you collaborated with another adventurer. Liliruca, you really have surprised me!"
"So."
He withdrew his gloomy gaze. For Liam to have the guts to break into the Soma Familia home during a Familia gathering meant he had absolute confidence in his strength.
At the very least, he was a Level 2 adventurer.
Zanis continuously calculated. Relying on this group of unmotivated Level 1 adventurers whose bodies had been hollowed out by divine wine and women, to stop him?
There was simply no possibility!
His tone was a warning, "How much remuneration did Liliruca give you to make you take such a risk, even to the point of offending our entire Soma Familia?"
"If you leave now, I can let the matter of you disturbing our Familia gathering slide."
This was the multiple-choice question Zanis presented. Directly abandon Lili and leave with 500,000 Valis – considering the situation, this was indeed the optimal choice.
The key was, if he really did that, what was the difference between him and the former "Lili"?
Liam, of course, wasn't thick-skinned enough to posture as a champion of justice. He turned his head and looked at Lili, who was clutching the corner of his clothes, forcing herself to stay calm.
Since she was willing to add more money, it was all good!
He shrugged his shoulders, looked up, and directly faced Zanis's threatening gaze, his tone indifferent, "Then you might as well pursue it."
"."
Zanis's expression stiffened for a moment, but it was quickly covered by ruthlessness. In the years he had controlled the Soma Familia.
All his energy was focused on managing the Familia. Since he could control the members with divine wine, he could naturally also turn this group of trash into thugs.
"You lot, what are you still standing around for!"
"An outsider has bewitched a Familia member, delusionally trying to subvert the Soma Familia! Deal with this guy, and tonight, everyone's share of divine wine will be doubled!"
As Zanis finished speaking.
The originally silent scene gradually began to boil. Unity was impossible to see in the Soma Familia; now, it was only under the influence of the divine wine.
The adventurer members who hadn't been knocked out by the "Blue Butterfly scale powder."
Upon seeing the benefits, they all picked up their weapons, their eyes filled with unconcealed greed as they looked at Liam.
"What a way to frame someone..."
Unlike the monsters in the Dungeon who only attacked with full force, most of the Soma Familia members were Lv1 adventurers with combat experience.
Liam knew it would be a bit tricky.
And in this situation, the choice of combat style would determine the final outcome. He gripped the Second-Grade armament in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Lili took out a small hand-crossbow, a Robin, for a supporter's self-defense. Its arrow range was short, but its power was strong.
At least it could relieve some pressure for Liam.
When she looked up, her smile was gone, replaced by a gradually serious expression, "What do you need me to do?"
"Stay far away."
With the activation of the "Flowing Stance" buff skill, Liam could feel a slight drain on his stamina. Sword intent flowed over the surface of his broadsword.
Erupting with a faint sound of resonance.
Zanis wanted to use the pressure of the Soma Familia to force him to leave. Although he couldn't imitate a certain hero's ultimate move and use his own strength.
Making this group of adventurers, who feared death but were greedy for life, recognize the situation was also very necessary.
With a crisp sword swing, the sharp slash erupting from the broadsword decisively launched an offensive towards the eager adventurers not far away!
The wooden floor couldn't withstand the impact of the slash at all. The moment it was torn apart, wood splinters flew. Due to the attack range of the sword aura slash.
This sudden slash.
Stopped perfectly in front of those few adventurers who were eager to fight and had assumed a combat stance!
Without any warning, the "magic-like" attack effect undoubtedly poured cold water on these adventurers driven mad by the divine wine.
They looked at each other, not rashly launching an attack. Magic was undoubtedly a dimensional takedown for ordinary adventurers.
The extremely fast attack speed had already exceeded the limits of their body's reaction. No one could guarantee they wouldn't be Liam's next target!
"Your Familia captain spoke first, so I'll also let you make a choice."
Since the deterrent effect had been achieved, Liam stepped on the bench in front of him, his calm eyes sweeping over everyone present, giving a final ultimatum.
"I'll give you 10 seconds to leave. I can pretend I didn't see you..."
"."
Upon first seeing Liam, Zanis thought his reliance was his adventurer level. That slash could be said to have refreshed his understanding.
A casual sword swing erupting with sword aura – was this a magic skill?
He didn't have time to think too much. He knew the disposition of his Familia members; they would inevitably shrink back when faced with danger. He looked towards Ganu, a Lv2, beside him.
"Ganu, you go assist in the battle. Surely the Soma Familia, with so many members, needs to worry about this Level 2 guy?"
"Take him down smoothly."
Zanis said, filled with hatred for the spoilsport Liam, and gritted his teeth, "As long as this guy is dealt with, tonight's divine wine!"
"Drink as much as you want!!"
"!!"
With one of the few Lv2 adventurers in the Familia joining the battlefield, the ordinary adventurers who had been intimidated by the "magic skill" earlier.
After their fear dissipated, what occupied the highest point of their rationality was greed.
And the craving for divine wine. An adventurer skilled with a bow had already stood on a table, paying no attention to Liam's continuous countdown.
"3."
"2."
"Time's about up."
Holding no expectations for this group of addicts, Liam, who had long been prepared for battle, with the complete end of the countdown.
He smiled faintly, surveying the numerous Soma Familia adventurers. He violently kicked over a table, and the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks shattering on the ground.
Symbolized the beginning of this battle, and also represented its end!
Towards Liam, Lili's emotions were exceptionally complex. She had never thought that someone as terrible as herself could receive salvation from another.
And at the most dangerous moment.
Perhaps there was a mix-up in the process; even this guy was someone she had hired.
When Liam told her to "stay far away," for a moment, her heart was enveloped by gentleness. She also wanted to prove that a supporter wasn't just a pretty face.
As she aimed her hand-crossbow at the archer in front.
The subsequent development of the battle indeed shattered Lili's perception of adventurers. This group of adventurers who had once bullied her was actually so weak?
She also realized…
Liam's "stay far away" meant not to interfere with his battle?
As her thoughts stagnated, Lili's face stiffened as she looked at this completely one-sided battle, inexplicably recalling what Liam had said.
"Ahead... is hell!"
Mm.
He was saying it to this group from the Soma Familia!
