Chapter 1063: Lich (2)



We were all shocked to see this lich since not a single one of us had expected this undead horde to be led by a lich.

An undead horde that was on its own was completely different from an undead horde that was controlled by a lich after all.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

An undead horde that had a lich at its helm was not a headless chicken, it was a dangerous force that they had to be careful around. Just like how the undead had formed that hand and had tried to grab at the wyverns earlier.

With the lich holding the fort in this undead horde, it was unknown what kind of things they could do.

It was really different when the undead horde had a brain controlling them.

The lich was a S Ranked Monster that was on the same level as the wyvern, but the danger that liches presented was more at the SS Rank. A single SS Rank would be enough to destroy smaller kingdoms.

Perhaps the Kite Kingdom in the past would have fallen to a SS Ranked Monster as well, but it was different since we had the wyvern riders now.

With the wyverns, we could at least put up a fight against an undead horde that was led by a lich.

Though it would certainly be a hard fought battle.

Seeing that no one was responding to it, the lich suddenly said, "Humans, know the despair that I bring. You can try to steal control of the undead from me, but you will never succeed. When the time comes, we will bring you into our fold."

Without waiting for a response, the lich disappeared back into the undead horde.

Once it hid its power and blended into the undead horde, it was hard for us to find it since there were many other skeletons that were in that undead horde.

Just by appearance alone, it was impossible for us to find the lich.

The undead horde didn't seem to approach and instead took a few steps back as if they were setting up camp.

Though I knew that I was just as helpless as them in this situation.

After all, I didn't have any information from the game that could help me here.

Once the guards calmed down, I waited for Klein to tell me to leave this place.

However...

"You can't leave now. We have to stay here and fight, we can't let this lich get any further into our territory." Klein said with a serious look on his face.

I was caught off guard by his words, but then I realized that I had been wrong about Klein.

Even if he did nag me most of the time, that didn't mean that he was doing it because he wanted to. He was only doing it because it was the right thing to do from his position as the captain of the royal guards.

But this time, it was not the place for him to back down.

He realized that we needed to take down this lich and to do that, we needed the power of the wyverns. Even if the wyvern riders were getting better at controlling their wyverns, that didn't mean that they were able to control the wyverns better than me, who had tamed them all.

With Joan, I could make the wyverns do things that they wouldn't be willing to do normally. However, that wasn't the only thing that Klein wanted from me.

"You're the only one that can find that lich with that orb of yours. You can find it, right?" Klein suddenly asked.

I was caught off guard by this question since I didn't even think of this. I was surprised that Klein had even noticed this small detail.

Taking out the Orb of the Dead, I held it up and closed my eyes for a bit before opening them to say, "It's faint, but I can feel traces of the lich's power through the orb. I would need to get closer or it needs to reveal its power for me to find it better."

Klein just gave a simple nod as he said, "That's already enough. We should be able to take care of that lich with this."

I also gave a nod in response, but there was an uncertain look in my eyes.
