Chapter 1072: Dark energy corruption



This net of dark energy quickly rose into the air before closing around the two of us.

This was a large net that completely surrounded us, trapping us as soon as it closed in like

The dark energy that made up the net was powerful, it was clear that it was from a very powerful source.

As for what could release this kind of dark energy...I could only think of one thing.

"Pa, pa, pa." A clap rang out before a cold voice said, "You truly worked hard, didn't you? It's just too bad that you fell right into my trap."

The voice was too unique to mistake who it was.

It was the lich that had been hiding the entire time.

After saying this, the lich slowly appeared from the center of the undead horde and showed itself to everyone.

At the same time, it almost seemed like there was a smug look that was on the lich's face. It was as if it had thought that it had won.

Though it wasn't strange that it was thinking this.

With that same smug look on its face, it said, "People always let their guards down when they've figured that they've won and you are the same. You just completely let your guard down as soon as you took down my Death Knight, but you never expected me to make this kind of move, right?"

The way that the lich spoke, it was almost as if it was giving an evil monologue...

But it wasn't as if we could actually do anything to the lich right now.

I ignored it and looked down at Joan to ask, "How much power do you still have left?"

She looked at me before shaking her head and raising a few fingers.

70%.

That was what she was trying to say with these seven claws raised.

But I could also tell that the corruption that was entering her body was spreading and it wouldn't be long before she wouldn't be able to resist it any longer.

I could guess that this dark energy net was the lich's final move, so it must have put quite a bit

of energy into this. This was not a net that would be destroyed that easily, especially since it was already corrupting Joan.

It didn't seem like we would be able to break free of this place before she was corrupted by the dark energy.

At the same time, it didn't seem like the others would be able to help us.

The undead had started surging after the dark energy net appeared and had been keeping Klein and the others back. Even Alidus with his special magic weapon wasn't able to smash through all of the undead that surged forward.

There was even a part of me that wondered if the lich had sacrificed that Death Knight just to lure us in here.

After all, if the undead could fight like this from the beginning, they would have been able to stop us from reaching the Death Knight. They would have even been able to fight with the Death Knight to take us down.

Was this how highly the lich viewed Joan and how much it wanted to corrupt her?
