"I am sorry, Liam. But the world seed is definitely not here."

Liam stared at the draconian princess for a moment. He did not completely trust this woman but at the same time, he also did not think that she was lying in this situation.

However, he couldn't deny the strong gut feeling he had. They were here already. So they might as well take a look at the situation, confirm everything and then leave.action

"Let's go in." He decidedly said and stepped inside.

The bungalow was quite crowded as all the guild members had gathered inside, awaiting Liam's arrival. By now everyone had heard about the benevolent hero of the Crimson Abyss guild so they were extremely eager for what was about to happen.

"Hello, Mr. Liam." The guild vice-leader, Birahi hurriedly walked forward and welcomed Liam. The man was extremely polite and welcoming but at the same time, he did not show any desperation.

Until recently the pyramid guild was the reigning lord of this country. They had safely evacuated many cities and towns and had gathered quite a huge population in their settlement, their total guild population rivaling that of an entire country.

The guild vice-leader of such a big establishment was akin to the leader of a country. The man did not show any weakness while also not exhibiting any arrogance. He was very diplomatic. The only thing was that Liam neither was in the mood nor had the time for such politics.

"Where is your guild leader Asim?" He directly asked. "Can you explain to me in detail what exactly is wrong with him?"

This was where Liam did not have much confidence. While he had knowledge about many alchemy recipes, especially since he had gained a lot more recipes after visiting the elves, he was not absolutely sure that he could cure anything.More importantly, if the illness was something related to mana rejection then there was very little that he could do.

Contemplating the various possibilities that he might be facing, Liam followed Birahi as the man led him and the draconian princess inside.

Naturally, everyone was curious about the mysterious beautiful woman with a wild, unyielding charm but no one dared to take a second look at her.

These days it was common for anyone who had a little power to have a beauty by their side so no one found it out of place. At least that was until…

The moment Birahi led the group into the room, all of a sudden, the draconian princess abruptly stopped in her tracks and her brows knitted to fixate on the room in front of her. The cruel, slitted eyes darted here and there before she fixated on the pale, lifeless person lying on the bed.

"Liam! Him! Him! He has it!" She started trembling with excitement.

"Huh?" Liam snapped to look at her questioningly.

"That man has the world seed fragment. No. That man is the world seed fragment!"

Liam frowned. "Are you sure?" He couldn't sense anything at all and just now this same person had told him that the world seed fragment wasn't here.

"No. No. Forget what I said before. He has it. If I am correct…" Ignoring everyone else present around them, she quickly ran ahead and used her palm to touch various parts of the sick person's body.I think you should take a look at

Gradually she lowered her palm to the man's abdomen where she stopped. "It's in his mana core! Wow! Look at this! Come here. You can feel how big his mana core is. Even you do not have a mana core like this!"

Liam's eyes lit up as he also rushed forward and placed his hand on the sick guild leader's abdomen. Unlike the draconian princess, he was still unable to feel the world seed but he could somewhat feel the intensity of the other person's mana core.

Could this be correct? Was the world seed actually in this man's mana core?

If that was indeed correct, then everything that Abraki had told him made sense. The man's power, his inexplicable rise to the top, and his sudden sickness, everything made sense. That must have all been because of the world seed fragment lodged inside him.

The seed must have nourished his body, mana core, mind, and soul.

But just the effects of the water that was surrounding the world seed fragment was so potent, then how could the normal human body handle that much nourishment at the same time? No wonder this person looked pale and listless, his life force dwindling like a lamp in the wind.

However, this man's health was not Liam's concern at the moment.

Now that they knew where the next world seed fragment was… Liam shifted his gaze to look at the guild vice leader who was standing at the doorstep.

He had a strange expression on his face, a look of confusion and realization. The other guild members also seemed to realize that something was going on here.

"What is going on, Mr. Liam?" Birahi frowned.

Before Liam could say anything, the draconian princess quickly grabbed Liam's hand and spoke first. "I can extract it out safely. The man won't be harmed."

Liam nodded. "That's good."

"But his mana core… he will forever be crippled."

Liam nodded once again. "Look Mr. Birahi. I can save your friend's life but he won't be able to fight again." Even before the other party could consent or understand what was going on, the draconian princess already started extracting the world seed fragment.

She unceremoniously dug into the man's flesh with two of her long sharp claw-like fingernails and the next instant, right in front of everyone, dug out a small grain-sized particle.

It was so small that normal people would probably have difficulty seeing it amidst the blood dripping but everyone in the room was at least Level 20 so they were able to see what was happening. However, neither she nor Liam cared about these things at the moment.

The second world seed fragment was actually in their hands! It was unbelievable!

"Quick. Join both the seed fragments." The draconian princess urged Liam.
