Chapter 73 - A Lich

They kept walking through the left corridor. It was just the same as all corridors, so there was no telling if it was the right choice or not.

What scared them the most was the silence on that floor. It was as if someone was watching their every move, and could strike at any given moment.

The fear of the unknown was daunting, but they had to explore that dungeon, or else their school and students might be in trouble.

At first, nothing happened. There were no beasts, no humans, not even small bugs. But that did not last long.

What appeared in front of them was a skeleton, and not a weak one to say the least. Arthur saw that it had a level of 30, which was high considering that was just a common enemy.

The skeleton had a curved sword in hand, and was already running towards them.

Arthur took the lead, and clashed with the skeleton. The sword and his claws touched, making a metallic sound that echoed through the corridor.

He had the upper hand, and the skeleton retreated a few steps after the impact. Arthur was not a fool to stop there, so he ran towards the skeleton, and attacked non-stop.

Eventually, the skeleton could not block all the attacks, and got hit, and hit, and hit. Until it broke into pieces.

The first enemy was dealt with, but all of them knew more would come.

Arthur actually kept gazing at the bones to see if the skeleton would resurrect, but nothing happened, so they moved forward.

More and more skeletons came, but with the three of them working together, it was not hard to deal with them.

They managed to win against 5 skeletons at the same time without major problems.

That floor was way bigger than the previous one. They walked for a long time, yet there was nothing except the corridor.

Arthur was starting to think they went the wrong path, until they saw a huge door made of stone, with some engravings on it.

“I don’t have a good feeling about it.” Jane said, and the others agreed.

If that floor had a master, it would probably be behind that door. So, Arthur, Jane and Wisa took their time to rest and prepare before entering there.

Arthur went first, and pushed the door to see what was behind it.

What he saw was a room with a stone table in the middle. The chairs around the table were also made of stone, and there was someone sitting there.

It was a skeleton, but not like the ones they faced before. That skeleton had a scepter, and wore a robe.

“A lich?” Arthur thought, and at that moment, the lich noticed his presence.

It gazed at Arthur, and out of their expectations, it spoke.

“Humans? What are you doing in my domain? Are you seeking death?” The lich got up from the chair, and was ready for a fierce battle.

Arthur saw the level above the head of the lich. 55.

“Jane, Wisa, watch out. He’s strong.” Wisa and Jane knew that just by looking at it. They knew about liches, so they knew these were strong and rare creatures.

The lich tapped his scepter on the ground, and a magic symbol was drawn beneath him. Then, 10 skeletons rose from the ground. The same skeletons they had faced before.

It did not stop there. The lich hit the ground two times, and one skeleton was summoned.

That skeleton was way stronger than the rest. It had a level of 40.

The situation did not seem good to Arthur and his girls.

He could not run, as the door behind them locked itself, and fighting against that many skeletons did not seem possible.

“There’s no other option but to fight. Use everything you have.” Arthur used his dragon transformation again, his wings, and all the other things he had on his arsenal. Wisa also took out her enchanted sword.

It would be the fight for their lives.

A crowd of skeletons rushed in. Arthur instantly used his Dragon Breath to slow them down, and went flying through the room, attacking them with his flaming claws.

Wisa was in a sword stance, and all of her body started to fire up, and she turned into a human torch.

That was one of her strongest attacks, and one that put a huge burden on her body.

Jane also had a spell similar to that one. Wisa was her teacher, and had been teaching Jane for months. So, Jane came up with a spell of her own that did the same thing as Wisa’s, but instead of flames around her body, it was thunder.

They were all going all out. Jane was sending lightning bolts to all skeletons, and Wisa dashed, attacking with her flaming swords and ending the lives of these skeletons.

The major problem was the lich, who kept summoning more skeletons.

Not only that, but it also started to throw spells at them. Most of these spells were of dark affinity, and none of them wanted to get hit by those.

They dashed from side to side, trying their best to avoid the attacks. But as time passed, it became harder, and harder.

Arthur knew their best shot was to end the lich first, then go for the rest of the group.

So, instead of aiming for the weaker skeletons, Arthur flew directly towards the lich.

“Stupid human.” The lich said, as he threw a dark beam directly at Arthur.

The lich was sure the fight was over, but what happened next was out of his expectations.

Arthur opened up his mouth, and devoured the spell.

[+15 to all Stats]

[+ Dark Resistance]

Anything Arthur ate improved his body, and seeing how strong that spell was, the buff was actually good.

“What?” The lich said, surprised, but before he could do anything, a flaming claw hit his face.

Boom, the lich flew and hit the wall.

“Is it over?”
