Chapter 1073: Purifying earth



At this rate, it really seemed like there was nothing but death waiting for me and Joan...

But it didn't seem like there was a way to break out of this dark energy net with our powers alone.

So the only thing that could be done was to try everything at my disposal.

The first thing that came to mind was The Penetrator.

Since it had a 99.9% penetration chance, it should be able to shatter this dark energy net without a problem.

It was just that when I tried it, I found that the dark energy net just repaired itself without a problem.

Even if The Penetrator shattered the dark energy net, it wasn't as if it would completely destroy it. It would only create a temporary hole in the dark energy net that was far from being enough to let us escape from it.

As long as the lich kept providing the dark energy to the net, it would keep repairing itself. So it wasn't as if we could stop the lich from providing energy to the dark energy net from here.

It really seemed like there was no other option than to give up...

But I didn't want to give up since I still had things to live for. I couldn't give up since I still had people to return to.

So after a bit of regret, the only thing that I could do was pull out the one thing that I hadn't tried yet.

When I pulled it out, I pointed it forward at the lich.

The moment that I pointed this thing forward, the ground that was under the lich started to

The Staff of Earth was a divine artifact in the first place, it was something that could only be used by someone who possessed a large amount of mana and had the Mark of God. So it was something that could only be used by those that had the approval of a god.

Since this Staff of Earth was a divine artifact, it naturally was something that was filled with divine energy as well.

The undead were creatures that went against the natural order of things to come back to life after they died. Their greatest weakness was holy magic, or at the very least, they were weak against things that were related to the divine.

That meant that even if I was just using the Staff of Earth to control the dirt that was under it, just the fact that I used the Staff of Earth which was a divine artifact meant that there was divine energy that was being imbued into the dirt that I was controlling.

This divine energy was what was suppressing the lich's power.

"That staff..." The lich wasn't a fool.

It was an undead monster that had lived for a long time and it naturally had the wisdom to match its age. Just based on its magical senses, it was able to tell that the staff that I was holding was anything but normal.

As such, it knew that I was the one that was causing this suppression to it.

The lich raised its hand as if it was about to do something else, but I immediately stopped it. Since it already had the divine earth tendrils suppressing it, it wasn't able to gather its power as fast as I could. So before it could make a move, there were more earth tendrils that suddenly came out of the ground to grab the lich and suppress it even more.

"This isn't a permanent solution." I said to myself as I looked at the earth tendrils that were around the lich.

Though the ones that I just applied seemed normal, the same couldn't be said about the ones that were applied before.

The ones that had been applied before seemed to have been dyed a bit black because of the dark energy the lich released.

It seemed like there was a limit to the earth tendrils that I created.

They only had so much divine energy to purify the lich's dark energy with.
