rich.
A high-ranking monster that often appears in games and novels.
In addition to powerful magic, it is a tricky opponent with the characteristic of endlessly reviving unless the orb called the Life Force Vessel is destroyed.
‘I didn’t expect to meet like this.’
During his days as a hunter, he attacked numerous gates and dungeons, and hunted various monsters, but he never met a lich.
Now that I think about it, it was a strange thing.
Among the skeleton-type monsters, only the lich did not appear.
‘It was similar in Demonic.’
There were many skeleton students in the Demonic as well.
There were various types of skeletons, from normal skeletons to skeleton warriors, archers, and wizards.
However, strangely, the beings that could be considered a lich could not be seen.
Professor Cedric was also a wizard, but not a lich.
‘It’s probably related to black magic.’
Even in this demon world, black magic was rejected.
Even in the Pandemonium, where strength is valued the most, black magic was considered dangerous.
And it was the situation in which such a dangerous being had now appeared in front of me.
“I have a greater reason to kill you. Now that you know who I am, I can’t let you live.”
It’s absurd to say something like that when I was thinking of killing him anyway.
“If you can, do it.”
Dig.
In an instant, I approached Richie.
Movement fast enough to leave an afterimage.
follow-up attack.
“no use.”

Unlike the first time, the lich withstood the attack by enclosing a shield around him.
The black demonic shield of bones collided with the red demonic energy and began to explode.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Weak defense than expected.
But that was my mistake.
‘This… .’
The Bone Shroud wasn’t destroyed by my attack, it was causing an explosion on its own.
And at the same time as the explosion, hundreds of sharp bone arrows began pouring down.
“You’re doing some tricks.”
I charged the lich again, enduring the attack with the demonic barrier.

Up until now, he had fought countless times with Cedric.
And I realized two things I shouldn’t allow against mages.
distance and time.
‘I can’t afford to give him time to use his magic.’
When he was defeated by Cedric in Dalian, it was always a situation where he was comfortable using magic.
The opponent in front of him is a strong man who is no different from Professor Cedric.
It doesn’t matter if it’s sparring because each other doesn’t do their best, but now it’s a real fight where you have to defeat your opponent.
So it was difficult to give more space.
‘First of all, it shakes concentration.’
Kwaaang!
A storm of red magic hit Lich’s surroundings.
Although the Bone Veil and Black Barrier withstood the attack.
“Nevertheless!”
It produced the result of canceling the magic that the lich was preparing.
The lich, whose concentration was scattered, prepared his magic again.
“It’s already late.”
In that short gap, I finished preparing for Diablic Requiem.
Quarreung!
A beam of red demonic light swept across the front.
The Diablic Requiem that pierced through several layers of defenses and hit the lich’s body caused a huge explosion.
Wow!
Huge clouds of dust obscuring the view.
Lane, who was watching from afar, exclaimed.
“I got it done!”
That order is difficult.
A scene where the dust settles and reveals itself.
It was the robe that had turned to powder and the bone powder inside it.
Same situation as before.
However, Richie quickly recovered his body this time as well.
“I would have said it was useless.”
I didn’t think it would end easily in the first place, but looking at it, it seemed like a pretty annoying opponent.
‘Even if I make powder, it’s meaningless if I recover right away.’
Margie still has room.
I also have enough stamina.
However, in the end, my strength would be consumed, and he would continue to recover, so I had to see that it would be difficult to win in a long-term battle.
Rich laughed at my troubled look.
“Khehehe. Have you realized the difference in strength? But it’s a skill worth using. Originally, I wanted to kill you, but I will make you a slave with a special dark contract.”
Richie is relaxed, perhaps thinking that he has been given the chance to win.
It was quite intrusive, but it was difficult to rush into it.
‘A divine-type skill would be effective against an undead monster like a lich.’
But right now I don’t have that skill.
No, in the first place, it could be seen that divine power was a contradiction to beings in the demon realm.
It’s a situation where it’s hard to think that you can use it even if you have it.
“You are not afraid to look away from me in front of you.”
Fire.
Black flames spread around.
At the same time, huge whips made of bones flew from all sides.
A fierce attack that cuts off retreat routes and targets vital points.
Of course, it wasn’t that threatening so far.
It was a situation where the opponent’s attack couldn’t pierce my defense, just as my attack couldn’t penetrate the opponent.
‘But time is not on my side.’
After blocking the attack again with the magic barrier, I widened the distance.
‘If you use Diablic Requiem at full power… .’
But I had to shake my head.
The current situation is not a lack of attack power.
Lich’s resilience, which recovers even if it becomes powder, is a problem.
‘It’s meaningless unless the Life Force Vessel is destroyed.’
But it must have been hidden in a safe place, but there was no way to find it.
Paperweight!
A magical attack that flies non-stop.
The moment you want to respond.
-Don’t bother Kyler!
Zeon, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward.
Roaring!
A black flame into a stronger flame.
Quarreureung!
A wall made of bones from an earthquake.
Shuka Kaka!
The exposed body of the lich was swept away by a huge whirlwind.
-Hehe. good job
Xeon’s expression, wanting to be praised.
I lightly stroked the boy’s head.
“Good job. But it is not over yet.”
-uh? Are you there again?
A lich that immediately recovers the body.
It seemed that Zeon’s attack was also useless.
“It seems to be doing tricks, but it’s useless.”
Xeon disappeared, so it seemed he mistook me for using magic.
‘Well?’
As I was examining Rich, something strange came into my eyes.
The result of being attacked by me and by being attacked by Xeon were the same, but there were definitely differences.
‘Maybe this… .’
I said looking at Xeon.
“Zeon. Continue to use your magic.”
-okay.
Xeon continues to attack without questioning my words.
Numerous types of attacks rained down on the lich, and the lich continued to disappear and recover.
and after a while
‘So it was’
I was able to find a clue to defeat the lich.
* * *
Both my attack and Xeon’s attack were the same in destroying the lich.
However, the crucial difference was the time it took to recover immediately afterward.
Lich, who was recovering quickly from Magi’s attack, was relatively slow to recover from Zeon’s attack.
To be precise, it felt like the resistance against the spirit’s power was falling.
‘It’s a different concept from divine power, but is it because the spirit’s power is also the pure power of nature?’
After all, if you’ve found a clue, there’s no reason to hesitate.
“Zeon. Keep attacking.”
-okay.
There was no limit to Zeon, who used the energy spread around him.
There is no need to worry about getting tired, so you can attack to your heart’s content.
Zeon got excited and started attacking.
“Ha ha ha! I would have said it was useless.”
Kwaaang!
“Give up and accept death.”
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
“You are foolish. how many times… .”
Wheein!
A lich exposed to such endless attacks.
He resisted in his own way, but in the first place, it was meaningless in front of Zeon, where nature itself is the source of power.
Read at noblemtl. com
Unlike before, the lich does not immediately recover from the continuous attack.
-Hehe.
Seeing that, Xeon was excited and continued to attack.
“Big!”
Finally, a moan of pain escaped Richie’s mouth.
– Kylers. Shall we continue?
“You can stop for a moment.
-yes.
When Xeon stopped attacking, Lich struggled to recover and stood up.
However, the ugly appearance with half of the upper body excluding the face and legs blown away was not normal.
“Wherever you go, keep teasing your mouth.”
I raised the corners of my mouth looking at the powdered Richie.
“dare! How dare you interfere with our work!”
Nonsense from my point of view.
It was he who secretly followed us, and he was the one who tried to steal our things.
But what kind of enemy is this?
“I don’t think we need to hear any more.”
Xeon preparing magic again at my beckoning.
Seeing that, Richie hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Delune won’t leave you alone!”
The moment I was about to launch an attack, an unexpected name came out.
‘Delune?’
It was the name of a notorious black magician I learned from a dungeon I had recently visited.
‘To find his tail in a place like this.’
He is a being who plots to resurrect the Great Demon King of the past.
It seemed like it would be of great help if I could get information through the lich.
When I said nothing, Richie mistook for fright.
“Khehehe. Did hearing his name change your mind?”
“It did change my mind a bit.”
“Then stop attacking immediately… .”
“By capturing you alive.”
“What, what?”
Kwaaang!
Zeon’s carpet bombardment continues again.
“Kuuu!”
“All you need is a head that can speak. I will destroy the rest.”
“aaa!”
After a while.
A lich with only his head remaining beyond the limit of recovery.
It seemed that he no longer had the strength to resist.
– Kylers. What are you going to do?
“There are people to deal with separately.”
I immediately contacted Toby and Harold.
The two people, who knew the dangers of Delun better than anyone else from the work in the last dungeon, are conducting various investigations.
It came over here immediately upon my contact.
Whoops.
Toby appeared with the magic circle.
“Did you really catch Delune’s minion?”
“That’s right.”
Toby’s gaze turned to Richie.
“Hoo? Looking at the aura of black magic, it’s definitely similar to the aura I felt in the dungeon.”
“Has Harold-sama not come?”
“Ah, he was away because he had something to investigate.”
“okay. What do you plan on doing with this guy?”
“I’ll have to seal it first.”
Toby skillfully started drawing a magic circle.
Whoops.
Soon, a small prison was created around the lich’s head.
“Ah! What are you doing!”
Richie screamed in pain.
“You guys are no longer receiving energy from the Life Force Vessel. So that means you can never recover.”
“this… Damn you!”
“It’s good that you still have energy. I have so much to hear from you. So please, please live up to my expectations.”
Toby’s eyes lit up as if he had found an interesting toy.
“What are you thinking?”
“I plan to go to Jetty’s hometown together.”
“Right. Then I will take this guy and go back first.”
“All right.”
A magic circle that is completed in an instant with the flap of Toby’s wings.
“I’ll see you next time.”
After Toby lightly waved his wings, he left his seat by moving through space.
Seeing this, Jetty vomited a small exclamation.
“I think Uncle Toby is really great. The day will come when I will be able to use magic like that, right?”
“Of course. Your growth rate right now is by no means slow.”
“Hehe. Good luck then.”
“Well then, shall we go too?”
It was a little late, but it didn’t interfere with visiting Jetty’s hometown, which was the original destination.
Richie will take care of Toby himself, so it’s not too late to hear the details later.
You won’t get anything if you go back right now anyway.
“okay.”
Soon, the magic circle created by Jetty radiated light.
Whoops.
Soon, the space movement magic circle was activated.
“When we arrive, it will probably be in the woods near the village. Then we will move.”
Jetty activated the magic circle, and light enveloped the surroundings.
After a while.
“Wow… It’s been a while since I’ve seen Slashion Forest.”
Jetty is delighted to see the wide forest spread out in front of her.
-Is this Jetty’s hometown?
“right. If you go inside, there is a village.”
The energy flowing around was very clear and clean.
You feel comfortable even when you are still.
“Looks like a nice place.”
“Okay, I’ll guide you, so just follow me.”
Jetty flew forward excitedly, and we followed him into the woods.
