Chapter 389 Bones That Won't Break!
Cracks appeared all over the walls and ground.
Half of the ceiling had made its way down to the ground, sending pieces of rubble in every direction and filling the room with dust.
The sheer force generated from a 'Spark' was incredible.
But Mark had no time to be impressed or surprised.
His first move upon unleashing the attack had been to swallow the various Gems and Stones that he had taken earlier as he leaped through the room.
The Gems and Stones, as he had expected, were filled with Mana.
Instantly, his Mana Reserve was filled back to the brim.
[Your Affinity with Water Magic increases by a very slight margin.]
[Your Affinity with Thunder Magic increases slightly.]
[Your Affinity with ...]
The Undead Lich wouldn't die from that.
Mark was convinced by that fact.
No notifications from the System added to his certainty. This content originates from n0v3lbin•
The Undead Lich's body is made up of bones. It was different than a Ghoul or an Orc.
The latter could have been injured gravely and left bleeding out under the rubble.
The Undead Lich was different.
Shattering the skull.
A one-hit kill, or nothing.
"You're going to keep hiding there? I don't mind piling up the Sparks."
"Surprising. That Flame should have been extinguished with the death of the Giants."
The Undead Lich was indeed under the rubble.
Despite the two dozen meters separating them, the shockwave as the Undead Lich freed itself reached Mark.
"What can I say? I have diverse tastes." Mark said as,
Thump-
Thump-
A sphere was created above the Undead Lich.
Thunderbolts exited that sphere from multiple directions.
They weren't shot simultaneously.
'Thunder Magic. The sphere was made by Condensing... Or bringing together a bunch of Thunderbolts. It's unstable, which is why they shoot out. The Thunderbolts want to be let out. Which means that...'
The Undead Lich lowered its arms, and the sphere moved forward, the roar of thunder resonated!
'It's slow enough for me to dodge,' Mark thought as he jumped to his left. 'The explosion will send Thunderbolts in every direction randomly!'
The Thunderbolts came from the Undead Lich itself, not a Magic Circle! The destructive power will be different!
Mark jumped forward, before casting another wave-like protective structure made with Ice Magic.
The wave-like structure allowed him to defend and protect the direction from which the attack came.
A spherical barrier would be a shield spread too thin, an issue that he had encountered multiple times, especially when defending against the Corrupted Dark Elves' arrows inside the Dungeon.
Additionally, and this was the most important aspect of the wave-like structure and the reason why he had jumped forward, this allowed him to keep an eye on the Undead Lich.
As Mark had expected, the Thunderbolts birthed from the explosion shot out at random.
Out of the many Thunderbolts, one was headed towards the Undead Lich.
A deep blueish Aura oozed out of its index finger.
Its finger moved, leaving a trail of Aura lingering.
A Sign was drawn on the air.
And a large Portal appeared.
The Thunderbolt was swallowed.
Mark's eye widened. Where does the Portal lead to? What happens if he is swallowed by it?
His first instinct was to look above him.
The Thunderbolt hit his side, immediately scorching the white scales.
"You don't mind piling up the Sparks, you said earlier."
Tsk-
"Are you capable of handling a hit from your own attack, I wonder?"
Mark did his best not to think.
He leaped forward.
The attack had come from his blindspot.
A blindspot that had been created. That, in a way, Mark himself had created.
