As hard as Ishaan was working, the skeletons weren't reducing in numbers. Clearly, the Lich was summoning more as one fell from his blade.
Kiro was tempted to not interfere and see just who would last longer in the battle of stamina but within hours, Ishaan was starting to lose his flair. Everyone watched this always scared kid with a newfound respect but only a little because at that moment he collapsed making his moment a little less cool.
"Felix, you dunce! Why weren't you healing him." He said while using vibrations to stun them in place.
Felix didn't reply, he simply wore a sadistic smile on his face and shrugged. He started healing him then, his mana was almost entirely drained, another second and he would have been in a comatose state.
'Yeah, a masochist through and through.'
Nikolai didn't need to be told as he blasted through the formation and into enemy territory. He didn't want to use his death ballad, because that would compromise his comrades. He stuck with his dagger. Poisoning them as he went deeper.
Hiro just stood there, standing guard while Felix was doing his job.
Vibrations caused a disturbance in the atmosphere, the Lich couldn't hope to summon more. So they dwindled in numbers, and Kiro was able to discern where the culprit had been hiding.
He must've known he was found out because he sent a spell of dark flames. Kiro uses Ryu to fuel the damage whirlwind could cause.
The spell was sent in different directions, the impact on either side was devasting, rubble shot through the air falling on them like a summer's rain.
Hiro used his shield to protect themselves. While Kiro used his speed, fists and staff. Nikolai did the same.
"I must say, I've been bested here it'd be idiotic to stick around." The Lich King proclaimed in cheerful voice.
His body started to liquidify, attempting to escape in one of the drainages nearby.
"Oh no you f*cken don't you little weasel, just like your master."
"Spectres, can't you feel anything?"
"Death?" they said at the same time, more of a question than certainty.
Kiro paced, scratching his head. He was almost out of energy from using his energy consuming abilities. He was absorbing but it wasn't fast enough.
He stopped and looked at Kel, "Can't you look through the walls?"
Kel simply looked at him dumbly. Kiro was just asking, he didn't expect an answer, he knew his skills and they didn't include X-ray vision.
He cursed whoever brought him back, just to change the dungeons of this game, now his future game information was pretty much useless. He found himself hoping that, this was just a dungeon that wasn't discovered in his past life.
He wasn't too mad though, he had already made a lot of money from the game, which was his goal in the first place. Now, his responsibilities only grew longer. There was much to do.
His real objective for a while had been to destroy the way his society operated. With the new information from Nikolai, it only served to strengthen his resolve. He was almost certain his grandfather was no longer alive, but he wanted to uncover what he died for.
"Can't we just break the door down?"
Kiro was jerked from his thoughts by Ishaan's question.
"We at least need to be prepared, for that we need to know what we're dealing with." Nikolai answered before Kiro could. He nodded in agreement.
"I'll have to use vibrational sense to see what's going on inside." Kiro proclaimed.
Kel looked at him with a expression that said, 'if you could do that, why did you have to ask me to see through walls?'
Kiro noticed this, but he paid him no mind. He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate hard on absorbing faster.
He sat cross-legged and within seconds unwittingly entered the meditative state.
