These Familiars Are Strange Chapter 120 Not a lich

"Let's leave this thing here for now."

That was the decision that I ca to in the end.

Iris and Wang Rong looked at silently for a few seconds before nodding in agreent.

They understood why I wasn't touching this strange pillar filled with dark energy.

After all, there was no telling what this thing was.

If I were to destroy it without that information, it was very likely that I would have provoked sothing that I didn't want to provoke.

Since we're in the dungeon, it was best not to poke hornet nests right now.

It was better to see what else was in the dungeon before taking care of this thing.

That was why we headed off to take care of the rest of the Elite Monsters.

The Elite Monsters of this dungeon were quite easy to take care of since all of them were just like the Skeleton Knight and the Flesh Golem. They were all stationary like NPCs as they stood there in the place.

As for the reason for that…it was the sa reason why the Flesh Golem was standing there in place.

After searching around for a bit in the area that the Elite Monsters were stationed in, we would always find one of the strange pillars from before.

At the sa ti, it seed like the pillar was always a set distance away from the Elite Monster.

That just went to show that the Elite Monster had been standing there in place for no other reason than to protect these strange pillars.

The one confusing thing was still why those Elite Monsters were standing there guarding the strange pillars and what purpose those strange pillars served.

Did they serve so kind of special purpose?

That was the thought that was on my mind until Iris said sothing.

"It seems like they're set up in so kind of formation…"

As soon as she said this, I turned to see that she was holding a piece of paper and a pen in her hand. On that piece of paper there seed to be so scribbles, but looking closely at it, I was able to see that she had drawn so kind of map.

She had been jotting down the path that we had taken, as well as the layout of the pillars that we had discovered.

Based on the drawing that she made, it really seed like the pillars were laid out in a way that seed to be surrounding a center point. With the lines that she drew, it showed that there was indeed so kind of formation that was being laid out by the pillars.

Though we had no idea what kind of formation this was.

"Let's see what's at the center of this."

Though I said this, I already had a guess as to what was in the center of this formation.

It was most likely the lich that was the boss of this dungeon.

This formation was most likely so kind of formation that the lich had set up to achieve so kind of goal. As for what that goal was, it was most likely related to the dark energy that was inside of these strange pillars. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

"It must be trying to strengthen itself, right?"

That was the thought that passed through my mind after thinking about what the strange pillars were for.

My guess was that the lich was using the formation of the pillars to gather the dark energy that was necessary for it to evolve even further.

Even if the lich was already considered a powerful monster, that didn't an that it was the most powerful form of undead yet. There were still Elder Liches and Lich Kings that were above the lich.

So it would only make sense that it would use this formation to try and make itself stronger.

But it seed that my guess was wrong.

That was because when we arrived at the center point of the formation, we found that there wasn't a lich.

"Death Knight."

Iris and I said the sa thing at the sa ti when we saw the monster that was standing in the middle of this clearing.

But it wasn't the only thing that was in this clearing.

There were marks that were on the ground and they seed to be surrounding the Death Knight.

So our guesses were correct that there was so kind of formation that was here, it was just that my guess was wrong that there would be a lich here.

Only that still didn't explain why the lich that had created all of these undead would create this kind of formation for this Death Knight.

What was it trying to do?

After staring for a bit, Iris suddenly said, "It seems like a kind of magic array that's used to gather and condense energy."

Wang Rong and I both looked at her with surprised looks.

With an awkward smile, Iris said, "I've picked up a few things from the things that my parents taught ."

Wang Rong still looked confused as he didn't know who Iris' parents were, but I just gave an understanding nod since I knew.

With two World Summoners as parents, it was only expected that she would have this kind of knowledge base.

"So the magic array is gathering energy for the Death Knight?" I asked her.

With a nod, Iris said, "That's right. It seems like it's set up in a way where it forces that energy that it gathers into the Death Knight itself."

"But for what reason?" I asked in response.

This ti, Iris shook her head to show that she didn't know.

I didn't bla her since I knew that it wasn't her fault.

So I just turned back to look at the Death Knight with slightly knitted brows.

After a while, I said, "Let's go back."

The two of them were surprised to hear this, but they agreed with since they also had a bad feeling about this Death Knight.

However, I wasn't going back as if I was leaving the dungeon.

I was heading to where the last Elite Monster we took down was.
