Also, he had a huge plan for them after the spatial rift quest was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he decided to do the big unveiling, and show off his army later when he was done with specific preliminary preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with this everything was in order and everyone was ready, so Liam took out the small spatial rift crystal from his inventory space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small translucent crystal that did not look different from any other random marble stone. However, that was only appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rift crystals are extremely powerful stones. They are stones that constitute the very fabric of the universe and the millions of realms present in the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam also did not know too much about it. He only knew that rift crystals appear in a realm when its boundaries are being tested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the full force of the demon army to step on Xion, the barrier preventing portal magic of such huge proportions need to be destroyed first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, in turn, gave birth to these rift crystals that were themselves portals to spatial rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these spatial rifts were not destroyed in time, then the barrier would be destroyed, and the demon army would be able to teleport in and out of Xion freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So while one faction, the nether realm demons, attempted to tear open these rifts, the other faction, Xion's goal was to destroy and close them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were on the side that wanted them closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam contemplated explaining this to the group but that would raise some unnecessary questions. So he simply stuck to the very basic instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we enter, we first need to clear the demons. Kill as many demons as possible. Don't touch anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sir!\" Everyone answered in chorus, nodding their heads. Though they couldn't help but be curious about what 'anything else' could mean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else other than demons could be present in these spatial rifts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Liam crushed the rift crystal, and immediately the space around him started cracking. Not the ground, not the trees but the dimensions themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's vision darkened and when things cleared up, they were no longer standing in Xion. They were standing on something that looked violet in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the entire world around them was a shade of light violet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be standing in some type of a desert. There was ground, there was a sky and there were rocks around, but everything looked violet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a lot of information to process and understand and everyone gazed at the world around them in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam smiled and helped them out a little. \"Look up.\" After all, this was not the first time he was stepping inside this land so he knew a thing or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately everyone looked up following Liam's words and saw a strange moon hanging in the sky. It was a dark violet in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at it made everyone feel weird. A mysterious sense of danger arouse in their hearts that sent chills down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They instinctively did not want to stare at it for too long. They also did not have the time to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the group arrived, a few demons patrolling ahead of them in the desert caught sight of the intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this quickly escalated. They did not hesitate and immediately blew their horns relaying the information to all the other demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it. The fight was about to start. Everyone clenched their weapons tightly anticipating the demons to arrive when unexpectedly, Liam shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are not going to face them together. Everyone quick, use your stealth potions, and disperse. Scatter in groups of two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? What was Liam talking about? The whole group heard his words and became utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though no one had yet successfully closed a spatial rift, there were already many topics about it available online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many guilds discussed their experiences, and there were also strategies available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liam mentioned that they were also going to attempt a spatial rift, everyone even Mei Mei had done a little bit of research on the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all different strategies, mainly battle formations or tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them had its advantages and disadvantages, and all of them were unique in their way. But the thing was… not a single strategy talked about splitting apart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was splitting apart really the strategy to use against a thundering horde of strong and bloodthirsty demons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen if someone by mistake got caught? Sure shot death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every death would make the team weaker and weaker until eventually, the whole team collapsed. Splitting apart was undoubtedly a very bad idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked reluctant and their doubts were written on their faces, so Liam quickly explained it to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number of demons is simply too many. Sure, together we are stronger but they are even stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our best chance is to split apart and hunt them down here and there as quickly as possible. Do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this fight, we all need to act as assassins. This is why we prepared all the stealth potions in advance. Don't hesitate to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And also, don't forget to notify in the group chat when you kill a demon. This way we can keep track of the counts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the number is high enough, we can once again assemble together and fight as a team. This second part is also important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to scatter and we need to regroup fast. SPEED is the key here. Remember that and do your best. Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't forget. Only engage the demons. Nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else? Split apart and takedown demons as fast as you can?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam's cryptic words were not clear to everyone but it was clear enough for them to understand what needed to be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with the [Stealth] skill activated it, and everyone else used the potion to scatter and disperse at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also used a buddy system no one was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole group ran away from the spot where they were standing as fast as possible and as far away as possible, running in different directions in the endless desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only managed to erase their presence just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, the dull roars in the distance started becoming louder and the demon army galloped towards the spot where everyone had previously been.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b15b4c2b57a87786b395e725b86e1edc5e394f82c61546cb8c34d7fcf3aa1f5","re-evolution-online-chapter-354","re-evolution-online-chapter-352",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
