Previously, on "My Little Barbarian Unicorn Centaur Princess"...
Kel'Caldor waited until the glow from his spell faded. Of the centauress-unicorn, nothing was left behind. He allowed a single chuckle to escape his undead jaw. She was dead, a pity. But the accursed System gave him no kill ssage. As his master used to say, "It ain't dead until you get the Exp!"
Wary, he floated ahead The floor of the catacomb was glowing orange for hundreds of ters where the massive ray of Light magic passed. She'd vanished. He made the beam wide enough to cover the whole tunnel and it did so until it hit the far wall. Where did she go? She pulled surprise after surprise. His pride wounded, Kel'Caldor seethed as he rembered her countering his magic.
He replaced the single-use concussive ring. They were expensive but he needed the respite, because of that attack. He examined the notification from the single attack of hers that landed and ground his teeth as he rembered how that accursed unicorn spear went from ridiculously easy to dodge from sothing nacing. He still had a gash across his ulna where the spear grazed him.
Where it GRAZED him for almost a million damage as a dozen special abilities triggered with the attack. He focused to control his hatred. He needed information. The attack dealt MP damage as well, and the ability was called {Ethereal Rend}. That was another na for the astral plane. Was it where the missing portion of his arm bone went? She had the freaking ability to banish parts of him to the astral?
That centaur must die, Kel'Caldor decided. He cast a spell. "Astral gate," and stepped through. Truly enough, the unicorn was there, already healed of most of the damage he caused and... taking a nap?
"You are full of surprises and secrets, my little unicorn," the lich gloated. "And all of them will be mine!"
Round two of their fight was just about to start.
The centauress rose back on her hooves. She nodded. "I would like you to share so of yours too," she cheekily replied. "But I'm afraid our fight will end now. Enough playing around, undead!" She beca nacing. Was this so sort of trick?
She gathered so magical energy. That a savage from the plains could control magic to such a degree of precision was astonishing. Curious, he let her charge her attack. She was clearly not that skilled if she needed that much ti to manipulate such a small amount of magic...
"Joestar secret technique!" She shouted. Stupid Adventurers and this custom to shout ability nas. Kel'Caldor braced himself, eager to learn new magic. Then she finished whatever she was doing and shouted, "逃げる!" [1]
She vanished.
When I saw the ring back in his bony finger, I knew I had to get away from there. He had copies of his enchanted items and clearly was willing to burn those precious treasures on . I wasn't fully healed and fighting in the Ethereal was a disadvantage for as {Ethereal Rend} didn't work there.
I ran over the boiling corridors of the catacombs, courtesy of the {Solar Ray}, and started to explore this place left and right, mapping it in my mind. Dead bodies of the undead made out of the inhabitants of the plains littered the corridors we didn't destroy with our fight. Or those he didn't destroy with his magic, to be clear. I just stabbed him. He must've harvested the surface for centuries to gather this many creatures. Ahead of and in the tunnels to the sides, the whole map of the place beca known to because there was so many undead crowding the place.
I cleared all the debris. Bones, rusty weapons, armor. All that was within reach of my item box was taken into it. Was this so sort of invasion force? He had tens of thousands of minions here. They all died to the {Manastorm}. The way he shrugged my auras hurt my pride. Damn, I should be the ultimate undead killer. That was so unfair!
He ca back to the material world several minutes after . I bet that gateway spell of his had so serious cooldown. I slowed down and stealthed. Not that it would help much because he probably could tell where I destroyed his minions and follow the bubble to find . However, moving at half speed for was still fifteen tis faster than a centaur walking at a relaxed pace. To throw a wrench in his tracking abilities, I took shortcuts through the stone.
I picked so hints of treasure and made a literal beeline for it. What awaited were ridiculously intricate wards overlayed by the dozen. Soone had been very paranoid about keeping their sanctum protected. These wards even extended into the Ethereal and blocked access from there. The lich was far away but I only needed to ss up once to reveal to him where I was. I could try to bypass the wards but it would take too much ti. He probably would find before I did.
There was only one way to go around this. It was to literally go around it. The lich's sanctum was a room in the catacombs, a big one asuring around thirty by twenty by five ters in size. I added a ter on each face of the gigantic brick I wanted to carve and Inserted the Force walls at those positions, sparing no MP for that. I needed to do it fast. I entered the stone and stood right next to the Force box that was forming.
The lich sensed what I was doing or my position and accelerated toward . He didn't go around the walls but he took so secret passages that I missed. All the while, the Force magic was cutting the stone and releasing the lich's sanctum from the planet's embrace. I took so mid-level cores and drained them for more Energy. I had to keep so in the tank or I would be lich food. Or so undead minion. Neither seed a good idea.

He was more than a hundred ters away when it finished. I touched the stone and sent the gigantic brick to my item box, releasing the Force walls at the sa ti. That's when the stone above us decided to complain about the sudden open space and cave-in. The movent also damaged the tunnels and buried the lich. At least it stopped moving.
Inside the bedrock next to the cave-in, I wasn't affected. Note to self. Keep a living creature inside my secret lair so dinsional storage thieves can't make it whole. I should also spend the rest of my Abilities in [Evasion].

Another explosion rocked the ground and the lich started moving again. Small tremors rang through the rock as he did sothing to the cave-in. I skulked around and re-entered the tunnel he was in from behind. I shut off my light.
"ACCURSED UNICORN!" He scread. "You should've remained extinct!"
He was zapping the rocks with a brown beam from his skeletal fingertips. I rembered that abject magical energy from Marlowe's final spell. Disintegration. It was ti to end this. I aid and hurled my spear.
Right before the spear struck, I tried to put a {Death Contract} but the undead spellcaster wasn't a valid target. So automated defense activated and a sheet of Force magic appeared. The spear plowed through, losing so speed but still doing heinous damage.
