He grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, he knew it for sure. This was probably some sort of nether poison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of his perfect affinity to the nether, not only did the poison not work but it was also healing him right back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam's pitch-black figure revealed a big smile that looked unsightly as his white teeth shone against the black background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the demons including Hongumbra looked dumbfounded as the black poisonous slime-covered person continued to dash forward, now not even bothering to evade the spiny tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be? Hongumbra grunted in anger and irritation. The demon desperately rushed to finish his current summoning, hoping that it would change the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small red snakes started to appear but Liam arrived next to him just in time to hack and slash away whatever health he had remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon's body that was already riddled with injuries from top to bottom gave out like rotten meat, no longer possessing the high inherent defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Hongumbra could only vainly try to erect another barrier to block these fatal attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liam coldly gazed at him and did not give him any opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gathered a massive condensed fireball and smashed it right onto the partly formed barrier, breaking it apart into a million wisps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Funnily enough, these wisps also flew to him like flies attracted to a trap and joined his already black appearance, making him look like a black flaming pit demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… what are you…\" Hongumbra gasped in shock. However, he did not have any time left to understand what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at Liam dumbfoundedly, the last bit of his health left his body and he crumbled and fell down on the black slimy cracked arena ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO! I will not accept… I am a demon from the abyss…\" His voice boomed, filled with regret and indignation as the vicious light in his eyes dispersed and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The almost invisible dome covering the two of them also disappeared along with him, the battle officially coming to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. The challenge battle has ended]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have succeeded in challenging the Garrison Leader of Thol city]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. Garrison Leader Hongumbra has been defeated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You are now the new Garrison Leader of Thol city]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The Garrison Leader of Thol city, Hongumbra has been defeated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Platoon Leader Liam Chang is now the new Garrison Leader of Thol city]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam as well collapsed on the black slime-covered arena ground, completely tired out, both mentally and physically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really had not expected to win this time. If the demon had summoned the red snakes first instead of the tentacles, the outcome might have been different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he only won this time by the skin of his teeth. Nevertheless, he excitedly gazed at the notifications, looking for any and all experience points rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what he needed the most right now. However, unfortunately, there were no such announcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only see the results of the fight and his promotion to the Garrison Leader position. And there were also world announcements of the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm… It's fine. Being a Garrison Leader will have its own perks. There should be some ways to gain experience points. I should find out more about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groaned and stood up, wiping some gunk off of his body and downing a vial of health potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around to see all the demons still standing in the same position as if they were frozen in time and place. No one dared to utter even a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse of their leader was still fresh in front of their eyes. Their leader who was a demon of the abyss had been defeated just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an impossible thing had actually happened right in front of their eyes! What were they supposed to do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make matters worse, they had also ridiculed the other party very badly thinking that such a thing happening was akin to the sky falling on their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… they had to face the new Garrison Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam, however, did not care about these things and did not plan to hold any grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, these demons would probably never receive the same treatment his own platoon would receive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While one group would be a favored personal army, the other group would simply be cannon fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply ignored them and turned to pay attention to the corpse of the dead demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see if he could get any clues about the demons and the abyss from Hongumbra's corpse. Maybe he also dropped some equipment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as Liam took a step forward, a black pentagram appeared in the air above the corpse and reddish black wisps started coming out of this mysterious symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wisps started gathering around the demon and the next instant, the symbol along with the corpse suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam dashed ahead to examine the spot but he couldn't find any clue, but judging from everything that he had heard he could vaguely guess about things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abyss… huh…\" He silently pondered looking at the place where the corpse had laid. In his previous life, he knew nothing about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the more he learned, the more puzzled he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of seconds later, surprisingly another notification sounded, snapping him out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. Squad 104 has successfully completed a mission.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have received 10000 experience points]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam dazedly read the notification and re-read it again several times, but no matter how many times he saw it, he still couldn't believe his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because.... if this notification is real… then that means…\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0c1ab929f359cf4c8acd68dcbf7168ed844fedc285cb7aee6a6fb4106bc3238","re-evolution-online-chapter-240","re-evolution-online-chapter-187",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
