Chapter 1076: Lich’s nightmare (1)
Everyone immediately tensed up when they saw the undead turning in the direction of the Orb of the Dead.
With the way that they tensed up, it seemed like they were ready to fight at any moment if a fight did break out.
Only the undead horde didn't do anything in the end.
All they did was look at the Orb of the Dead that was there on the ground as if they recognized something before turning back as if they didn't see a thing. With the way that they lost interest, it was as if they were never interested in this thing in the first place.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
That was just how fast they lost interest in the Orb of the Dead.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw this, but then Klein said, "We're heading back."
He wasn't saying this for everyone, he was saying this for me alone.
After all, I was the one that had caused all of this.
The way that he said this was almost as if he was scolding a child, but he didn't say anything beyond that.
I raised my hand to stop him as he was about to grab my arm and said, "Wait a minute." Klein deeply knitted his brows and seemed like he was done with me, but I didn't care as I went forward and jumped off Joan to pick up the Orb of the Dead on the ground. Before picking it up though, I made sure to tap it with the Staff of Earth just in case something happened.
I was using the Staff of Earth as if it was something that could purify the Orb of the Dead.
Though the Orb of the Dead didn't seem to react at all even when the Staff of Earth touched it. It just laid there on the ground as if nothing changed.
Seeing this, I picked it up and quickly put it away before jumping back on Joan.
When the others saw this, they also started getting ready to leave.
The only one that was a bit hard to bring away from this place was Alidus with how big he was, but we were able to do it with four different wyverns grabbing him at the same time.
He hung from the wyverns like he was doing some kind of wyvern surfing.
As for why he couldn't just walk back...
Even if the undead horde didn't seem like it would do anything, it was better not to provoke them. If Alidus were to start stomping around on the undead, there was no telling what would happen.
While they were calm now, if they were to provoked and start attacking...they would cause quite a bit of trouble.
So it was better if Alidus wasn't allowed to walk through them.
As we flew above the undead horde, we were able to clearly see just how many of them were still left. With the amount of undead that were left in this horde, it was clear that they would do a lot of damage if they were to charge all of a sudden.
But for now, it seemed like they were calm.
With the wyverns, it shouldn't be a problem for us to slowly whittle down these undead as long as they didn't do anything unexpected. After all, the main backbone of this undead horde, the lich was now gone.
It was just that we had spent quite a bit of energy to defeat the lich and it would be hard to defeat the undead horde if we were to fight it now.
It was best if they just remained there and let us recover some of our power before fighting them.
After returning to the wall, it didn't seem like the undead horde were planning to do anything. It was at this point that I couldn't hold on any longer.
I did my best to keep my consciousness, but the Staff of Earth really had a terrible mileage and
I just wasn't able to hold on any longer. So the moment that we flew over the wall, I fell onto Joan's back and lost consciousness.
"Your majesty!" I could hear them shouting around me, but I just couldn't do a thing as my vision faded away.
...
"How could lowly mortals possibly take me down like that!"
I could hear this voice ringing through my ears, which forced me to open my eyes.
When I opened them, I found that I was in a completely dark space.
This was unlike any other place that I've seen before, so I had no idea where I currently was.
But looking around, it really didn't seem like I've been in this place before.
After all, I don't remember ever being in a place that was as dark as this before.
Looking around, it didn't seem like there was anything around me.
That was until I heard...
"How dare you kill me!"
This voice was a familiar one since I had heard this voice not that long ago.
It was the voice of the lich.
When I looked around though, it didn't seem like I was able to find the source of this voice. At the same time, it also felt like the voice was coming from all around me, as if it wasn't coming
from a single spot.
It was as if it was just all around the area.
Then all of a sudden, there was a large bone hand that appeared above me.
When I looked up, I found that there was a giant version of the lich that was standing there over me with its hand reached out. With the way that it was reaching out, it really seemed like it was trying to grab me.
I didn't know what was happening, but it wasn't as if I could just stand there.
So I jumped out of the way of the hand that was coming down at me.
But after jumping out of the way, I just stood there with a confused look on my face.
After all, I had no idea what was happening here.
