Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 385: Carl vs Liam

At the beginning of the battle, Carl and Liams side.

Liam Khan had great mastery over his element. From childhood to the day, he had practiced unrelentingly. The organization he grew up in rewarded the children based on their success in annual tests. He always had a big appetite and had a sister to look after. She wasnt his real sister, but the two of them kept together while they were really small, and his sisters element was difficult to comprehend, thus she couldnt show too much success. Many nights, they would cry together in hunger and cold. They would dream of nights of warm and full stomachs. To them, eating heartily and sleeping without worry was the most precious thing in the world.

After a year, they were saved by people in black suits. These people gave them shelter and food. For the first time in many years, both brother and sister ate to their hearts consent and slept until the afternoon. Later, they were given new clothes. New clothes! That was something they never had before. Later, they were tested for a superpower and taught by masters. Annually tested and rewarded. Liam swore on his life that he would do anything to repay whoever saved him. Even if it meant his life.

As he grew up, he became more mature and smart. He started to realize how the world revolved and what he had to do for his and his sisters benefactor. He worked hard day after day, even if it meant cutting the time he spent with his sister, but she understood. She was the same. After growing up she too learned how to use her unique powers to help their benefactor.

And now, his stage was set. His savior asked him to assist Yasmin May to win this competition. Liam Khan was determined to do it even if he had to bleed to die for it. And as he battled with the geniuses of Myriad Elements Academy, he realized how he overestimated them. Just he and Yasmin were able to tear down their bases and defeat all ten of them. He was the juggernaut charged at their formation without any care in the world, and Yasmin was the main force attacked from tricky angles to neutralize students.

At that time, he thought the victory was already in their grasp. He thought that was the level these academies could offer and their benefactor was making too much of the other students. But as he was about to rush out to Yasmin to stop the boy with piercing blue eyes, a smiling student appeared before him.

This student didnt look anything worthy. He had a handsome face and good physique, but it was obvious to him that this opponent grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was probably a young master of a rich family and had all the richness and resources he required since his birth. But as he was about to defeat this enemy, he realized how wrong he was.

You are strong! He said with a wild grin. This was the first time he was challenged for a long time. Even in Portal World, most monsters couldnt hurt him. When he used his power to cover his body with a diamond exterior, even claws that could pierce the hardest alloys couldnt damage him. But now, a simple-looking fist shook his organs. He actually felt his blood stirring in his body.

So are you, Liam Khan. Carl smiled. I really envy your talent. How could it be to create a giant robot with a diamond exterior?

You are a fan of Mechs too? Liam asked with an excited smile.

Mechs? No! Carl spat. Mechs are just tools humans drive. What I like are robots. Cruel, calculative, and awesome!

Mechs are better. Humanitys smart mixed with a robot's arsenal and hard body. It is perfect! Liam defended.

How can that be? Humans are fragile. If a heavy impact falls on a Mech, the human turtles inside of it can still die from the aftershock. Carl snorted in disgust.

That is not true. Liam crossed his arms as he looked at Carl in defiance. Ultimate defense and ultimate smart! That is Mech!

Let me see your ultimate defense and break it! Carl shouted in anger as he charged. On his fists, a pair of golden gauntlets formed. That was a really rare orb, Golden Kangaroo's Suckers. They were troublesome monsters that rarely left their nests, and always traveled in mobs. Their fighting power was also not to be underestimated. They could punch the hardest alloy in their tier and could leave a deep dent.

But that alloy alone wasn't enough to deal with Liam. He had already covered his body with diamond and he was holding a wide shield, similarly made of diamond. He also used his energy to make them even harder, but Carls expertise lay in overcoming defenses. Even Zall, who had one of the best defenses in his tier, had trouble going against Carl. Zalls organs, unlike Liam's, were hardened as part of his physique.

Carls movements were erratic, ghostly. His footsteps were reverberating all over the battlefield, but his steps were actually light. He would appear on the right at times and left at others. Liam, despite the training he went through since childhood was having a hard time following his opponent.

Liam had misjudged Carl. Although as he predicted, Carl indeed was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the competition in big families wasnt any less than in the organization he grew up in. Not all families had an amicable relationship with their management. Especially a business dynasty like the Flynn family. There were many profits involved, and many people were eying them. Carl, since childhood, had to prove his worth to be titled for those resources.

He worked hard and was also passionate about his powers. Even since he could understand, his biggest dream was to create the awesomest robot in existence. And when his superpower was awakened, he realized how possible his dream was. His father sat him down and talked to him about Ultimate and all the excellent expectations of Energy, and since then, he was waiting for his powers to develop. And now, he was close. So close!
