Chapter 114: RUN AWAY!

Chapter 114: RUN AWAY!

(WOAW! Seriously, I hadn't expected the range of this to be that far. I mean, you are at, I don't know, more than one kilometer. And it entirely destroyed the two lich that were pierced by it. I honestly want to tell you that they won't be able to fire more of that thing. But four additional metal sticks are getting loaded as we speak. Should we retreat for now?)

Ok, this will be a painful memory, but I will have to deal with this later. For now, I only have one thing to do. RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! And, as bravely we were marching to conquer the walls of Ronta, we are running like cowards to escape the range of those snipers, I will call them that way. I mean, it looks like it is a sniper rifle, from the description of Oslo. Ah, and I am still staying underground, for now, I won't dare to stand up in front of the ratmen. Never, never, underestimate a race that was hiding in the shadows and preparing their return for a century.

I mean, we haven't killed anyone, and I already lost 5 lich. By killing anyone, I mean, really killing anyone. Neither the assassins that we caught or the slave sentenced to die by the hands of my undead are really important. Why? Because, if they are caught by vulgar ghouls, they are no threat to me, meaning it is not their best ratmen. As for the slave, I won't talk about them. It is obvious that they are the lowest vermin possible, and I remember the memory from the Agorians. They were as starved and weak as they were when they fought the Tomb Kings.

I mean, just look at their weapons, a broken sword, not a single shield? Not even some leather armor, I am not talking about metal, just leather. As for the assassins, I didn't really saw what was their equipment, but it should be barely better. They were just the scouts, the alarms put in place to prevent anything. I mean, we are still very far away from Ronta and

ZZZZZZZZZIP ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIP ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP

DAMN! SERIOUSLY?

(Yes, even after five seconds of running, they are still capable of touching us. The good thing is, the shields of the lich were capable of repelling the attack. Even a single shield of a lich has managed to stop the deadly projecting, so, I suppose that one kilometer is the maximum theoretical range. Past that, the projectile fired loose both his speed and his power. It managed to break two shields from your lich at a closer range. That's going to be a huge problem, there are five of them.)

Yes, but I only heard 4, does that means that the first one is still reloading.?

(Let me see, yes, the weapon is fuming, a huge smoke is surrounding the metal stick. The three ratmen operating the sniper rifle, like you called it, are even coughing. The same spectacle can be seen around the four others. Let me count the delay between two shots. Still not able to even get close, ah, finally Now, they are putting the monster core, putting another one, and a third, clonck? I guess that means that the weapon is armed, and yes, I see one of the ratmen looking in a glass. It's a magnifying glass, wow, it is really advanced, they can even modify the efficiency of the glass. But, for the delay between two shots, I will say, fifteen seconds.)

Exactly, I still have a chance to create a new spell. Now, I just need to find out what I really need. Because, I have an army, I have something allowing me to bypass all the environment, I have something to defend myself. I have also multiple ways of killing my enemies and I can blind or curse them. What do I truly need right now?

(I have no idea; you still can't use the [Death Ray] right?)

Let me try once more, even with my 1750 MP, can I use it?

"Not enough mana"

Well, apparently, no. I truly wonder what is the cost of such a spell, even with 1750 MP, I can't even cast it. But, forget about that annoying part, what should I create? Something to make my undead better? Something to kill people at a very long range?

(Don't focus too much on your undead. Yes, they are very good, and extremely useful, and right now, more powerful than you. But, sometimes, you will face a situation where you won't be able to rely on an army of undead, to slaughter your enemy. Sometimes, you will have to face stronger foes, meaning, you need to have a better spell. All the previous ones are still useful when you are alone, but if you create a spell just for your undead, you will stop growing.)

Ok, I get it, me getting stronger is better than me getting stronger thanks to my undead servants. The principle of strength by myself and not by all my assets. So, you suggest creating a spell only available to me, but then, what should I do? Besides having a long-range distance attack, that's what I am currently lacking, I don't see anything else. But that's not very useful in an arena when I will battle other Heroes.

(You don't have to care about other Heros, besides one or two freaks, you are able to kill everyone. In a one against one, you can hide in the underground, make the other party starve to death, be plagued, be melted. No, you need to focus on your shortcomings, and the idea of something capable of destroying those sniper rifles from far away is quite good. That's always a nice thing to have, that way, you can almost every time strike first.)

Ok, so we have the idea, but what will be the spell?
