Chapter 138: Belkoseu and the Lich King. Also, Jamon.
As expected, the Lich King began to pour out magical attacks.
Only his form had shrunk, but the attack pattern was the sa as the one I had encountered before.
It was good for that he advanced at with fierce attacks.
Even if his attacks reached , the Roa’s Staff that I obtained from taking down Ghost would absorb all the magical attacks, so I would take no damage.
To be exact, the ability of Roa’s Staff that my Butcher’s Sword had absorbed was what would do the job.
It should be able to absorb any magical attacks without any issues.
Since it had previously eaten up my Transcended teor, it had proved its ability without a doubt.
The only downside was that there were only 88 charges left on it.
However, that shouldn’t be an issue either.
I wasn’t going to let the Lich King cast that many spells in the first place.
The only thing I would focus on would be to defend myself against attacks beyond ranking.
That Lich King was going to turn into a pile of ash before the charges on Roa’s Staff’s ability on my Butcher’s Sword would run out.
The Lich King stared down with his red glowing eyes and let out a horrid roar.
“Kwuhuh………”
“Kuhuhu. Are you only going to continue avoiding. Is this the attack that you were boasting to about before? Pathetic. Hurry up and show . Show the reason why you did not kneel before the mighty Belkoseu!”
“There’s not much of a difference from the one I saw on Earth. I think magical attacks worked against it?”
“Hm? Another Lich King exists in a different dinsion…… Monsters exist in another dinsions?”
“If you don’t know, just sit back and watch. I’ll began the show.”
“Arrogant……”
“Ah! And you’ll be next, so make sure to hold onto your waiting list ticket. I’ll end this quickly and give you the attention you want so badly.”
My banter with Belkoseu didn’t last long.
The Lich King began his barrage of attacks.
Unlike before, he was creating a massive distance between us.
I wasn’t sure if he had used Teleport, because he had moved his body far away in a very short ti.
However, the attack that he casted after left speechless.
I stared at the sky blankly in shock.
The demonic realm’s sky was covered in his spells.
It was the teor skill. A giant one at that to boot.
I did expect the Lich King, also known as a archwizard, to be able to cast such a spell.
He used skills beyond ranking, so being able to cast teor was a given.
However, the teors falling down from above weren’t any ordinary teors.
Pitch black burning teors fell from the sky. These teors were Awakened teors.
It was a skill that Awakened could learn after getting their teor skill to level 100, and then they had to use an Awakened Essence to upgrade it so.
However, I could not bring myself to understand how a monster was using a skill that I’ve only seen Awakened using.
I did not avoid his attacks.
I wanted to check for sure.
It could be a similar looking skill with a different effect after all.
Even if it was a skill that was beyond ranking, it didn’t matter.
No matter what, it could not deal damage to .
After hitting center mass on my Mana Shield, the shield shook madly.
Looking at how much my shield shook, I could confirm that this really was an Awakened teor.
Even though I had casted it countless tis myself, I didn’t recognize it right away.
From what I had noticed, out of all the monsters out there, only the Lich King seed to learn skills, and on top of that, he could Awaken them.
I had many questions to ask, but this wasn’t the ti to ponder about them.
I had scouted enough.
I was sure, no, I was absolutely positive that this monster would drop sothing good.
The Lich King had made quite the distance to cast teor.
However, Glacial Field was enough to cover that distance.
The floor froze, and he began to take damage from the cold.
Even the monsters that road about without a direction were caught up as collateral damage.
“Kwuhuh!”
“It’s still just the refrigerator. You’ll soon go to the freezer.”
It used Teleport to try to get away from Glacial Field’s range.
However, no matter how far he fled, he was dancing on the palm of my hand.
A simple leap allowed to get close without much difficulty.
After all, there was no way that a mage could outmaneuver a warrior.
Of course, technically speaking, I was a mage.
I cast down many Blizzard on his head.
Shards of ice as blue as the ocean began to rain down with massive speed onto him.
Due to it being an AoE attack, it was difficult to be accurate with it.
However, in a pouring rainstorm, how can one not be struck by a single drop of water.
The Blizzard that ca down like rain hit his body.
“KUWUHUH!!”
“Still the refrigerator. There’s still more to go before you get sent to the freezer.”
It had barely blocked the mass of frozen rock with its shields, but this wasn’t the end.
The Blizzard skill’s attack still hadn’t finished yet.
Around and him were shards of broken ice from the Blizzards.
Like the shrapnel of a bomb, the second part of the attack from Blizzard ca.
His body was pierced all over by the shards of ice.
He let out an ear piercing howl and as he bled from all over his body.
Blizzard consisted of ice raining down first followed by the shards exploding outwards until it collides with the target, which could only be a description fitting of an S ranking attack spell.
The glow from the Lich King’s eyes blazed fiercer.
He must be incredibly furious.
However, I did not give him the opportunity to counterattack.
“Kuh……uck!”
“I’m not sure if he has a mana bar or perhaps a cooldown to deal with because he has not cast the shield again.”
He was completely sealed off in the giant Iceberg.
The Iceberg that had reached level 300 crushed the Lich King’s form into a pathetic shamble.
Almost as if scattering a 10,000 piece puzzle, his body was scattered beyond recognition.
To the Lich King who was frozen completely and was unable to regenerate, I casted Blizzard once more.
Since Blizzard was a higher ranking spell, it pierced into the Iceberg and exploded.
Almost as if the bullets in a person’s body was exploding, it could deal massive amounts of damage to the enemy.
The red glow from his eyes faded, and he dropped a ton of bloodstones.
It wasn’t that difficult to kill the Lich King.
The mont that I walked towards the loot that the Lich King had dropped, I sensed Belkoseu moving.
However, I did not sense a killing intent behind his movents.
After getting close to , he spoke.
“Amusing. A race from another realm, and on top of that an amusing show of skill.”
“Custor, you have to wait your turn. You can’t cut in line like this.”
“What?”
“Wew, don’t worry about it, just wait a bit. Don’t annoy .”
“You little!”
“What? You little? Alright, I’ll take care of you right away. I’ll make an exception for you right now!”
“Ukk.”
It happened when I turned my body to face him.
I could hear Karin’s voice.
Despite him being far away, I could hear him clearly.
“Human! Min-Cheol! It’s the demon king! The demon king is coming! Ladin as well!”
“Damn it. Has he detected our scents? Why now of all tis…?”
“What are you blabbering about? Co! Belkoseu will be your opponent!”
“Hey custor, it looks like I’ll have to serve you next ti.”
“Ha! Are you afraid! Was all that just for show?”
“The demon king is coming. And he’s not alone, because he’s bringing along Ladin as well.”
“Is that true…… Hm………”
Perhaps Belkoseu had felt their magical energy signatures as well, because he suddenly cald down and was erring on the side of caution.
I spoke to him.
“You’ll be fine, even if they co, but isn’t it a different case for ?”
“What are you trying to get at.”
“Since you’re a monster too, you can see the magical energy that flows within ! Aren’t you interested in it?”
“……”
“If you keep here, I could die and possibly give all this to those two. Do you understand now?”
“There is no way that I can lose out on your magical energy… We’ll fight another ti.”
“Finally, I got through to you. My goblin ally will rember your magical energy signature.”
“………”
“I will find you a few days from now. Wait for in a place as far away from the demon king and Ladin as possible. I’ll et you there.”
“Pfft. Seems like quite the flimsy excuse to prolong your life.”
“Or you can let get eaten up by the demon king. But you won’t do that since you have your own plans, right?”
“Kuha! An amusing race you lot are. So be it. I shall wait. However, if you think that you can save yourself by not coming, you best give up such false hopes. I shall find you myself personally.”
“Were you scamd in the demonic realm before or sothing? Why are you so doubtful? Whether you co or I go, you’ll be dead!”
“I’ll be looking forward to it……”
As soon as I finished, I ran straight to Karin.
Karin was hiding behind a rock while invisible.
If I didn’t use Eye of Insight, even I wouldn’t have been able to find him.
I spoke to him.
“Karin, get our stuff. We’re going to where hyung-nim is.”
“Kerut! Understood! Good call! I told you that fighting him is a bad idea!”
“What about the other two? How long will it take for them to get here?”
“Kehel. Roughly about 10 minutes in human ti! They could get here even faster.”
“Okay. That’s plenty of ti. But before that, the empty duffel bag.”
“Kel? H……Here it is.”
“Hold on to .”
“Kehel!”
After receiving the duffel bag from Karin, I went back to where Belkoseu was in order to pick up all the loot.
As expected, the Lich King wasn’t an ordinary monster.
I couldn’t help but be excited from the mont that I saw the Awakened teor, but to think that he dropped this many artifacts whereas Zekill and Berdan dropped nothing.
I ordered Karin to start putting them into the duffel bag.
“Take only the stones you want to eat, and throw away the rest.”
“Kel! The demon king is coming, so snacks are not an issue!”
“Oh. You’re pretty good at getting up to speed. Ignore the bloodstones, grab all the artifacts.”
“Keheheheh! Don’t talk to . I’m busy! Busy!”
I simply looked at Karin toiling away.
It was because there was a chance that an artifact would beco soul bound to if I picked it up.
Since Karin realized that the demon king was coming, he moved quickly, and in less than 1 minute, it was all taken care of.
I couldn’t help but think of him as the number one guide for the demonic realm.
Belkoseu was silently observing us.
His appearance could put knights from the middle ages to sha.
With a cape on his back and ard to the teeth with tallic armor, it reminded of an Awakened wearing full plate armor.
With him being 2m in height, it even made wonder if he was actually a human being.
But who knows. There was a possibility that a head of lizard would pop out if I removed that helt after all.
It didn’t seem that he would move, even though the news of the demon king’s arrival was heard.
As expected of the title he possessed, the undying knight.
The proof of him not dying to attacks by monsters was in his choice to stay here despite the announcent of the demon king’s approach.
Karin carried four duffel bags and urged to hurry.
The 3 of them held all the at he couldn’t live without, while the last one was filled with artifacts to the brim.
The weight of them should be quite a lot, but he did not complain as he hurried his little feet to work.
“Min-Cheol! Let’s go! Now!”
“Yeah, you did well. Let’s go.”
“We’ll see each other again, human.”
“Will do.”
