Chapter 16: On the Importance of Huddles

The skeleton lich sitting on the throne said secretly in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Akai and I made our way up the top floor of the Lich Tower after a short spiral of staircases.

It's a huge room.

"It's a very uncomfortable feeling." Before I got closer, I could feel the killing intent in the air getting thicker and thicker, and the scattered murderous aura completely enveloped the power space, making people feel pressure all the time.

It's like there's a guy with a sharp knife in his hand, and it's rubbing back and forth against your neck.

It's unpleasant.

"Looks like a guy who can't breathe." Akai said lightly. This level of murderous oppression doesn't work much for us, because we're not young birds. "Let's go up, it looks like that guy is waiting for us, and it looks like he can't wait." The murderous aura has become heavier, and Akai knows that this is the other party urging us to hurry up and die.

"Humph! It is not certain who will die. "I habitually pulled up the hat of the archmage's robe, and the whole person was hidden in the wide mage robe, and the darkness wrapped my face, and the whole person looked extremely gloomy.

Syllable!

"Hey, what are you doing, okay, okay, don't pull my hat, this is the capital used to pretend to be b!"

"Pathless, you gloomy man! I'm used to it, but I feel very uncomfortable when I see you pretending to be b! ”

"Really, I'm just interpreting what ordinary mages do." I reluctantly put my hat down.

"Come on, the more you look at you, the more you look like an evil wizard, especially this black mage robe." Akai gave a slightly disdainful look.

"What's wrong with the black one! The black one is in your way, how can it be repaired! Do you think I like to wear black robes・・・・・・ well, I do. But if it's a white mage robe, I can cosplay that legendary melee mage Gan Ye, and there is wood. I spread my hands.

Stalking ・・・・・・

"How, how?" I asked as I looked at Akai's strange eyes and twitched out of the corners of my eyes.

"Just you guy who likes kite streams in the distance? Rush up for melee combat?"

I turned my hand and patted Akai on the shoulder, "You still know me!" That's why I'm not a melee mage. ”

・・・

After a fight, the atmosphere and situation that should have been very tense at the moment when it was clear that the enemy was suddenly dissipated, and although our mood did not improve much, we finally relaxed.

But the one above looks like he's already going to blow up.

[Damn, dare you look down on me! I'll give you a taste of my awesomeness later! After waiting for no avail, the Lich King finally rose from his throne.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

The Land of the Fire Swamp.

The hydra slowly opened its closed eyes and looked at the forest in the distance.

[Oh? It's already here. Those two little guys are still quite fast. Suspicious words of praise, [That guy is relatively easy to deal with, although the ability is more troublesome, but as long as you find the right way, it is still quite easy to crack, but I don't know if the strength of these two little guys is enough. 】

[Hehe, what am I worried about, can a human who can break my attack head-on and knock off a head of the old man not be able to break through the defense of that dead bone. 】

The camera pans to the top of the Lich Tower.

As soon as we reached the top room of the Lich Tower, we were met with a tremendous murderous aura and astonishing rage.

In an instant, there was nothing to hesitate about, and we went straight into the state of fighting, and it was a state of fighting with all our might! One buff after another, I cast the magic of the effects, enhancing our abilities. And in the next battles will continue without interruption.

It's going to be an uphill battle. Our enemies won't be like the hydra Hydra who didn't do their best just to test our strength, nor would they be as clever as the Naga serpent.

I don't know if it's because of the dignity of the strong, there is no other existence in this room except for the skeleton lich in front of him.

Both sides were silent, but they were also observing each other.

A skeleton lich with a dark purple cloak and a golden crown on its head, the skeleton of its upper body looks like white jade, and there is silver light flowing inside, which is very different from ordinary skeletons. The lower body was a purple trouser robe, and a pair of hideous bone claws stepped on the wooden floor, making a trampling sound.

【Come on!】 Let's fight! No one can get out alive today! 】

Death is the only way to pass here!

The skeleton lich let out a oozing scream, and the staff inlaid with ender pearls in his hand glowed pitch-black.

Akai and I couldn't help but squint our eyes, silently waiting for the incoming attack, our bows and arrows and magic ready.

With two flashes of pitch-black light, two figures identical to the skeleton lich appeared in front of us, and then slowly dispersed.

"Doppelganger?" I frowned and said, if it's a simple doppelganger technique, it's impossible to think about it with your toes, there must be something special, it's better not to act rashly now, let's test it first, I thought so in my heart.

He gestured to Akai with his eyes, who nodded. Raise your hand and shoot a half-drawn bow and arrow towards the clone of the skeleton lich on the left.

Bite!

Just as the arrow was about to hit, three golden shields slowly emerged from the skeleton lich's body, including the two clones, circling around each of them.

Three shields protect them from the airtight.

I swung my staff, and one fireball after another flew towards the three lichs in front of me. Because I'm not sure if the boss in front of me still has the ability to freely replace each other between the clone and the main body, so I can only attack all at once.

However, those golden shields were unexpectedly powerful, and they actually blocked all my fireballs. At this moment, the skeleton lich, wrapped in three golden shields, showed an extremely ugly smile.

Akai, who had been paying close attention, was suddenly shocked.

"Summer! The guy has a move. Akai reminded me, and I settled down, since I haven't found a way to break the defense for the time being, let's observe the actions on the other side first.

I saw that the three skeleton lichs moved in unison, raised the staff in their hands, and the strong elements gathered together, converging into an unstable red elemental ball that would explode at any time.

[Flame Field]! Sensitive to the fire element, I defended in an instant.

"Spread out!" As soon as we finished speaking, three dangerous-looking fireballs shot at us. Akai and I scattered left and right to dodge.

Rumble!!!

Three fireballs exploded in succession on the floor, blasting a crater in the wooden floor, and Akai and I were slightly affected by the wind pressure of the explosion, but it didn't hurt. It's just ・・・・・・

"Damn, this guy has something else in the flames, it's a corrosive element of darkness, Akai be careful not to be attacked." I shouted.

"I see, no wonder I felt a strange aura in that fireball." Akai's movements became cautious.

For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The Skeleton Lich and its two clones just stood on their stakes, shooting exploding fireballs at us, while we dodged in a frenzy, waiting for a chance to fight back and a chance to show its flaws, looking for a way to break the defenses.

[Qi, what an annoying little bug. Feeling irritated, the skeleton lich increased the frequency of the magic in his hand a little faster.

And at the cost of some of our explosive fireballs that were hard to dodge.

Looking at the menacing fireball flying towards him in front of him, Akai gritted his teeth and instantly cut out the iron sword from his backpack.

"Let's see if we can stop it." Akai narrowed his eyes, and then, with a swing of his sword!

Touch!

"Eh???" To our surprise, Akai actually knocked the fireball to the ground, and then the fireball exploded on the ground.

・・・・・・

"This thing can actually fight!" I was surprised! So what are we hiding in such a mess for!

A wave of anger quietly rose in his heart.

"How dare you use this kind of thing to play me like a monkey・・・・・・" I stood up in front of me, and my mind calmed down inexplicably, "This kind of thing..."

"Look at me and I'll call you back!"

With a dazzling swing, I swung the staff in my hand to the extreme, and one after another explosive fireballs flew towards me and were all struck back by me with my staff.

Ever since I got my staff, I've often wielded a stick as if I were practicing my wand, or at least I've been able to do it.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Akai and I stopped dodging and shot back all the explosive fireballs that were coming at us.

The fireball swerved and smashed into the skeleton lich's shield, exploding.

Card rub!

The sound of the shield shattering.

"It worked!" Akai and I said aloud at the same time.

Seeing this, the skeleton lich changed its previous attack and flew towards us with pitch-black balls. This is a pure ball of dark elements.

However, since that one can be beaten back, then this thing doesn't need to be said.

With the shattering of the three shields, the two clones of the Skeleton Lich turned into smoke and disappeared into thin air.

For a moment, the scene returned to a state of silence.

However, in the spirit of coming and not being rude, this time it was us who attacked.

White light danced in my fingertips, and the tips of the arrows on Akai's bowstring shimmered coldly.

Shout! Zizizizizi!

The arc wrapped around the blade of the iron arrow, which flew towards the skeleton lich with a powerful current. In this room, Akai's attacks don't have the same dodge as my magic, and the arrows are lightning fast.

But the next moment, a black light covered the whole body, and the black light around the skeleton lich swelled, followed by the sound of an arrow hitting something.

The black light faded, and what appeared in front of us was a zombie.

To be precise, this is a zombie with an arrow nailed to its chest and scorched all over its body. It was just shattered and vanished.

"Do you still have the ability to summon?" I watched this scene cautiously.

"It seems so." Akai seemed unwilling to accept that blow from being blocked by the Skeleton Lich in this way.

As zombie after zombie appeared, we couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

"This guy ・・・・・・," I whispered.

Akai watched as more and more zombies grew, and on the limited room platform in this place, the advantage of zombies was extended to the maximum.

"It's not going to fill this place with zombies, is it?"

"It's possible." With a wave of my hand, an arc of lightning rushed into the zombie pile, and after jumping and jumping, I knocked down four staggering zombies. But it doesn't seem to stop the zombies from limping towards us.

Isn't it just more than firepower!

Akai and I looked at each other, a smile on our lips.

In that case, our firepower only needs to exceed the speed of the opponent's summons.

Five arrows were ready to fire on the stiff bowstrings, and the massive fire elemental was no match for the crappy fireball of the Skeleton Lich.

For a moment, flames and arrows filled the space.

This was followed by the hoarse roars of the zombies.
