Re: Evolution Online Chapter 159

After spending a few hours repeating the same skill over and over again, Liam had somewhat managed to achieve the control that he wanted.

In fact, the rock that he had been practicing on now had huge holes in it. He had zapped the same spot enough times to directly drill a hole through.

However, that was not his aim.

His aim was to produce whispers of lightning, just a few sparks.

This initially proved more difficult than he had thought, but Liam found a way to practice. He first drained his mana completely and then tried the skill when he was simply running on fumes.

In this way, he forcefully, squeezed out only a few strands of mana, thus grasping the control of just using a little at a time.

He did this over and over until he had thoroughly comprehended the technique and he was finally able to replicate it even when he was stuffed full of mana.

"Hmm…" Liam frowned. He had solved this issue but now he was facing a huge problem.

He either had to try his new skill, directly aiming at the bigger group of gnomes or he had to wait for another seven hours for the smaller batch to rotate in.

The latter would be the saner and safer option, but it cost him time.

Thanks to everything being moved up the timeline, Liam no longer had the luxury to wait around idly for the perfect moment.

He was confident in his skill and he could feel that he had grasped another level of control. So he did not see any point in hesitating or seeking a more opportune moment.

"I can't just wait around."

Liam placed himself at a hidden spot and started neutralizing one gnome at a time.

Unlike before, his spell was not a strong showy bolt of lightning, rather a few invisible sparks flew forward, accurately tickling the red button on the mecha gnome.

Zing.

The gnome immediately started spinning around and entered a dazed state where its hard-wired system tried to reboot itself.

This time his attempt was a resounding success!

Liam however, did not dare to take it lightly.

He had gotten the skill down but this was only the beginning.

The gnome's dazed state lasted only for about 15 minutes, at least from what he knew.

This means that he only had about 15 minutes of time to render all the gnomes in the vicinity in a dazed state and then toss a bomb to clear out the entire pack.

Even if he became a second late, then all the gnomes would become alert again and would also be automatically aggroed onto him.

It had almost cost him his life just getting away from five gnomes!

Liam let out a long sigh. "It's fine. One death shouldn't matter a lot. Next time I will make sure that this doesn't happen."

However, right at this moment… a bird swooped down.
