Bamm Bamm Bamm
The barrage of thunder lances ca at , while at the sa ti, Knight and two others attacked
from three sides.
The bastards have killed all my death guards and special zombies and now attacking
insistently, not giving
even a single chance to attack.
The only thing I could do was cast multiple bone shields to defend and chill domain to slow them down, but both of them were barely working.
The old bastard Blackstone was attacking
in a mad, mad flurry of powerful spells and had cast protection on the two warriors, which warded off the most adverse effect of my chill domain.
As for the Knight, the bastard does not need any protection; his aura is more than capable of doing that.
If I hate anyone here most after Blackstone, then it is the Knight, but I would also love to get my hands on his body. If I get it, I will be able to make a very powerful Zombie Knight, if lucky, then a Death Knight.
It will make
very powerful.
I had four Zombie Knights once upon a ti; those were my golden years. If not for the incident in the grim valley, I would have still had them, and these bastards wouldn’t have been able to force
to this degree.
Bam!
Another thunder lance crashed against his bone, and to my shock; the lance, with its 30% power intact, pierced through the bone and stuck
before I could act to defend against it.
Zimmm!
A buzzing sound rang out as the defensive layer covering my body nearly collapsed. It would have completly collapsed if the power of the thunder lance had even been slightly stronger.
I looked at the grinning face of the old bastard and then at myself and ca to a realization.
I need to run away.
I couldn’t stay here anymore; they would get
eventually, and the price of that would be huge if I ended up losing this body on which I had spent a fortune.
I wouldn’t be able to afford another one of this level.
I cast more bone shields and filled them with greater power than before.
Earlier, I had been careful about conserving mana, but now there is no need to worry about it, as I am going to escape.
There will be so punishnt, but it will be much less painful than losing this body.
The old bastard seed to have caught what I was planning to do as the grin on his face vanished, and his expression turned serious.
“It is trying to run away!” shouted Blackstone and shot even more powerful thunder lances at him.
As the Knight heard it, the aura around him thickened that even he began to feel a slight suppression, while the other two burst out with their full power and ca at him, but my shields moved, stopping them in their tracks.
Still, I was quite surprised to see their power; they were hiding quite a lot and would have gotten
if I had continued fighting.
Thankfully, I am escaping.
I did not waste any ti, and imdiately, a scroll appeared in my hand, and the eyes of Blackstone widened in shock.
Scroll of Teleportation.
My life-saving asure; had cost
a lot, but it was worth it. Nothing is more important than surviving.
“Next ti we et, I will fucking kill you all,” I swore vengeance and unfurled the scroll, ready to teleport out of this wretched island.
Hun!
But to my utter shock, nothing happened.
The shining scroll suddenly frizzled and furled itself back; seeing that shock couldn’t help but appear on my face before I turned to the bastard Blackstone.
I could sense what that bastard had done.
Disruption.
He cast the disruption and successfully disrupted the teleportation spell. The spell scrolls are easier to disrupt than the spell cast by the person.
“You wretched bastard!” I cursed loudly at Blackstone with all the rage in my heart and unfurled the scroll again.
It lit again, but a second later, it fizzled out like the last ti.
“Since you have co here, you better stay lich,” said Blackstone with a grin. “I am a lich; you can’t kill ,” I said back.
“I could not kill you, but I could destroy this precious body of yours. I am sure it will give you quite a backlash,” replied Blackstone with mirthful eyes.
“You can only dream,” I said and activated the ring of greater haste and moved at a speed that surprised even Blackstone.
“Follow it,” shouted Blackstone and cast haste on himself and others to chase after him.
‘Greedy bastard!’ I cursed.
He might have tried to hide it, but he could see the greed in the old man’s eyes.
Given how the old bastard fought and the arsenal of spells he had, he could have run away easily. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to him, but he stayed, and the reason is .

The bastard is after my wealth; while I am not carrying all his wealth since I am a lich, I am still carrying a fortune, including my body.
Blackstone wants it all, but he will not have it; as soon as I create enough distance between them and , I will activate the teleportation scroll.
Boom Boom Boom
Blackstone is throwing spell after spell at , but with greater haste, I am dodging the most, while those I could not dodge, I am defending with my bone shields.
With each step, the distance between them widened, and in a minute, I would be able to activate the scroll without any problem.
Soon, I was out of the grove, and to my surprise, I saw a group of humans in front of , fighting a small group of undead.
I did not change my course to avoid humans; I did not want to do sothing that would make them catch up to .
So, I directly moved toward humans; they froze seeing
coming toward them, especially the young human, who was in my direct way.
To my surprise, he took less than a mont to co out of shock and swung his sword toward ; seeing that, a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.
I love it when weakling shows the spirit; it is always fun to crush with absolute force.
Especially now, when I had failed to kill any one of those bastards, crushing him will make
feel good.
Bone Scythe!
I cast, and a long bone scythe appeared in front of
and shot toward the young human, whose eyes widened in horror again, but his sword did not stop.
…
The lich was coming toward , and now he cast a scythe of bone; he could feel the sharpness of the scythe and knew it would cut him into two.
‘Remus!’
I heard Eva screaming my na; it should have been louder, but I could only faintly hear it for so reason.
Likely because I am watching the scythe of death coming to reap my life.
It filled
with horror, but I did not stop my attack, and instead pushed my rapier with every bit of the strength and skill I had and also activated the enchantnt of the rapier at its full power, which I hadn’t done till now.
There was no need to; it was able to cut everything with low power, and I also didn’t want to spend all power of the enchantnt, as they are very expensive to service.
Now, I did not care about that.
It did not take even a second for the scythe to reach
and move past my rapier.
I wanted my rapier to clash against it, but it easily avoided it and ca toward , while the leach appeared directly in front of , while my sword moved toward its heart.
It did not seem to be worried about that, and I wouldn’t have been if I had been in its place, given the difference of power between us.
Even if my sword hit it, I don’t think it would be able to do anything to it, but I have to try. If I am dying, then I want to die, giving my all against the enemy.
Finally, the scythe reached ; I felt it touch the button of my bloody shirt.
Ti seed to slow down for
that mont as I saw the scythe cleanly cutting through the button before touching my skin.
Crack!
I braced for the pain and death that would co, but instead, I heard a cracking sound, and the blue layer of energy covered ; as it did, the bone scythe turned to powder.
It shocked , but it also shocked the lich who had appeared very in front of , and my sword, which was now covered in blue energy like my body is less than an inch away from its heart.
Its eyes widened in shock, and it tried to stop itself, but its speed was too fast to stop imdiately.
The tip of my sword touched its pale skin, which I found covered in a thin layer of grey energy, which my sword pierced without any problem before burrowing in its heart.
Puch!
A sound rang as the sword pierced through its heart. It was more like it was skewing itself into my rapier with sheer montum.
“Bastard!”
It cursed at
with rageful eyes, and I saw a huge black bolt coming from its staff and hitting , but like a scythe, it also turned into dust, the mont it hit the blue layer of energy covering .
The layer beca imdiately paler as it happened.
Khatch!
I could see the light in its eyes, and its staff began to glow again, and I thought I would truly die when an arrow pierced through the skull of the lich from behind.
At the sa ti, I saw a great sword piercing through its chest, sliding across my sword, and a silvery flash coming and cutting its head cleanly.
Bannng!
As it happened, the body of the lich crashed into
hard, giving
a glimpse of three people behind, who dealt the final blow to the lich.
