Liam pondered as he walked out of the garrison tower and then out of the small city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So to unlock this [Soul Forging] skill, I need to first sense the presence of a soul? How am I supposed to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded at the guards, walking past them to the outskirts of the city. He spotted a few demonic hounds prowling nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me start with these guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic hounds were only Level 34 so Liam finished them off in a couple of fireballs and a wave of fire bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked over to the corpses to examine them. He stared at the dead doggos for a minute, but no matter how much he tried he couldn't sense a soul or whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were alive and now they were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then spotted another pack and went over to them to once again continue with his experiment. This time he did not kill them right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply blocked and parried their attacks, while trying to see if he could sense something different. However, once again, his efforts did not result in anything fruitful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he sensed was their killing intent when they struggled violently, trying to sink their teeth into his flesh and claw him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm…\" Liam silently observed things before finishing them off as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried this type of approach for a while when he finally decided that this was not going to get him the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ok. Time to try the next thing.\" Liam used the only necromancer spell he had in his possession and cast [Awaken Undead].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used this spell several times in the past. However, this time when he cast the same familiar spell, he felt something very unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, it was as if he was blind before and now suddenly he was able to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swirls of thick black nether energy coiled around the dead hounds and slowly by slowly they became richer and turbulent as if the nether itself was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy then suddenly flooded inside the corpse and disappeared in a flash, the dead hound, springing back up alive the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam was absolutely flabbergasted. This was the mystery of life and death in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, he even forgot about why he was trying to become stronger and became interested in what just happened in front of him, one of the greater truths of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam unsheathed his sword, cutting down the hounds he had only just now summoned and trying to sense if there was something inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again cast the spell [Awaken Undead] and did the same thing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick swirls of nether gathered once again and gushed into the corpses for a second time as if it couldn't care less if the being possessed a soul or not or if it was alive or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Liam thought about this, he wondered if nether could have the same effect on a living being. Could he perhaps manipulate something that was already alive with nether?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did it specifically have to die first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his mind was beginning to wander in a different direction, he pulled his thoughts and focus back to the main topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul! He wanted to sense a soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam tried casting [Awaken Undead] repeatedly but he had a feeling that this spell did not require the presence of a soul. So after trying for a while he gave up this approach as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm… do I have to die again?\" Liam chuckled as he sat down beneath a boulder and pondered the other options he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time he died, he was finally attuned with nether and was able to sense it as if he had forever breathed it in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So perhaps for sensing soul as well he needed to do something similar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam blankly stared into the distance for a while but then shook his head, rejecting that thought. \"Why should I die when I can simply kill someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also curious about the graveyards and the presence of nether in the graveyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Let's do it. I can camp someone at the graveyard and kill them enough number of times to see if I can sense a soul or not.\" He nodded and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, this is what I will try next.\" He liked the idea and decided to stick with it. He also had an incomplete quest that he hadn't touched in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to still collect several more souls for the quest. So while he was trying to sense it, he might as well finish that quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam's mind quickly began to recalculate and re-evaluate everything that he had to do and the priority with which they should be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he also had a long list of people whom he owed a debt to, the newest members being Kouske and the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to him he had gained so much. Perhaps he too would have missed the things beneath the moss if he was not trying to scavenge everything for Luna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, he only helped him out… but still… he couldn't just let that incident slip. He was neither that forgiving nor that kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Liam mulled over everything that was yet to be done, suddenly a thought popped into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the soul devourer quest, he already had two more quests related to the soul in one way or the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Kingdom quest in the south about the spreading of sickness and the other was the sword that was made of dragon souls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could obtain more knowledge about the inheritance or gain some other breadcrumbs after finishing these ones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. Didn't that guy also give me a soul forging technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam quickly opened that skill description and saw that the portion which was locked was now unlocked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bonus Chapter~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please thank Steamed Arrow for sponsoring this bonus chapter!\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","4bbd151245e62225bb625557d2c4847bee0c75a26ee776a145f8f8d1fd74d86f","re-evolution-online-chapter-283","re-evolution-online-chapter-281",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
