Liam stared at the beast's description in shock. His eyes particularly couldn't believe the special skill list he was seeing. The wolfhound combo in front of him could actually cast a dual element attack?
"Wind Blade, Nether Blade, and Nether Wind Blade," he read the names of the skills again. "So wind element and nether are compatible." Liam had no idea how to combine these two.
He had only barely achieved combining his swordplay with an elemental attack. He was still too far from combining two elements together. However, the beast in front of him could simply innately do that.
There was also the new skill alpha. "Gives a 5% buff to its pack members. I see." Liam chuckled as he patted the wolf that looked like a hound or rather the hound that looked like a wolf? He scratched his chin as he couldn't make up his mind.
From one angle it looked like a wolf and from the other angle it looked like a hound, but no matter what the beast was terror-inducing. Its feral eyes could drill fear into the enemies.
"Alright. Well, good enough." Liam sent back the new soul minion satisfied with this progress. "I am on the right track." This was the type of minion worth grooming and sharing his experience points with.
The three-headed chickens and monster rabbits that were standing arrogantly up until now immediately made way for the new boss as they moved aside for the wolfhound.
"Not bad. Not bad at all. Let me make a couple more of these." Liam once again called over another dire wolf and a hellhound and started the forging process all over again.
Time ticked by and an hour later, three wolfhounds stood majestically side by side. However, only two out of the three had special skills.
That too, the second wolf had a different set of skills [Nether Claw], [Wind Claw]. From the looks of it, it was not capable of casting the dual element skill yet. It also did not have the [Alpha] skill.
The third one as well was rather ordinary as it had only [Nether Bite] though all the three new wolfhound versions were Level 40 and above with overall improved stats.
Seeing this, Liam decided to move on from this combo to his next target… one of the spiked mountain bears and a dire wolf walked forward.
He immediately closed his eyes and visualized a bear wolf, a werewolf with a bear head and it seemed to make sense, so perhaps they would be compatible?
"Well whatever, I will just give it a try."
A few minutes later… a huge bear stood on its hind legs, its body elegant and muscular. The head was that of a bear but its body was muscular and lean like a wolf's.
Its stats were once again better than a normal spiked mountain bear's stats, with the same high physical defense. In fact, the physical defense was even higher when compared to a live one.
"Success!" Liam was excited. "Level 48!" This was his best creation yet. Encouraged by the continuous positive results, a maddened look appeared on his face and he started going all out.
The next few hours passed by in this manner. The entire dungeon resounded with forging sounds and not a single second was wasted as the various souls began to be combined in different manners.
In the end, there were all sorts of soul creatures hanging around on the rocks, some of which Liam did not think would be compatible at all.
There were… Bearwolves, Bearhounds, Werewolves, Werehounds, Bearmen, Werebarbarians, Bearbarbarians.
On the side, Gorak, Gu Donghai, and the four other lackeys from the Gu family were standing and trembling. At first, Liam was only experimenting with beasts but then he started combining the souls of men and beasts.
The group was worried sick when it would be their turn and if they would finally lose all of their identity, truly die and become the guy's puppets. However, until the end, their turn never seemed to arrive.
The group thanked their lucky stars, sighing in relief, as they watched Liam stand up, "This is enough for now." He cracked his neck as his gaze fell on this exact group.
Everyone shivered but Liam smiled at the bunch. Of course, he was purposefully keeping them intact. He also did not touch Crawford and some of the barbarians.
This was because he still had a use for them. Once that was done… all the experience points they were swallowing would be put to good use.
Liam gave the group another glance and then ignored them once again to examine his newer creations.
All of them without any exception were Level 40 and above and their stats were extremely impressive. Compared to before, this was a huge improvement.
Apart from this Liam had learned two important things. The first one was that almost all of the soul minions had a high physical defense but they had a lower magic defense.
It did not matter what species they were. All the soul minions shared this low magic defense property. So Liam concluded that this was a weakness of his soul minions. They were more vulnerable to magic attacks.
The second point was that almost any two minions were compatible except when it involved the very low-rank common beasts like chickens and rabbits.
So when the higher beings were involved, compatibility did not seem like an issue at all. This surprised him the most as he had made the opposite assumption earlier.
"I will think about this later." Liam finished his lap around the minions. There were now only about forty minions but each and every one of them was strong and sturdy.
"Heh. Time to start the dungeon run again."
