The way in

After encountering the first group of barbarians, Liam and the soul gang came across a few more groups. Surprisingly all of them were lower leveled so the minions took care of them with complete ease.

Liam also used this chance to forge a new set of minions, the barbarians. These guys had a strong physical build and were naturally combat oriented so even if their level was low, they were performing better than many other minions.

"Higher beings are higher beings." Liam clicked his tongue as he observed the new additions. He had managed to forge five whole barbarians, preserving their souls perfectly. 

Their forging difficulty was at par with human soul forging so this process was very time consuming. This was his main limiting factor at the moment. 

Since he was currently in enemy territory he couldn't freely set up camp and do as he pleased. If a horde of barbarians swarmed him then it would be game over.
