587 The Two Ultimate Bosses (1/2)

A Lich! The Radiant Priest named Kevin had produced a Lich as his Pet!

This came as a shock for Qin Ruo and the others spectating the battle. Although they'd killed their fair share of Liches, the chance of getting a Pet Egg for one was so incredibly slight that they'd only ever heard of two people who'd found one.

Liches were incredibly powerful. From the perspective of a player, they were like living grimoires of dark magic, including spells dealing with the Undead! They were overpowering opponents!

The most terrifying thing was how, the moment the Lich was summoned, its dark eyes flared, and a Shadow Barrier immediately formed around it, the spell cast with breathtaking quickness. The only time Qin Ruo had ever witnessed that kind of speed at spellcasting was from Little Eye.

Seeing this, Qin Ruo's thoughts turned suddenly to the Grand Tournament.

Maybe things might not go as smoothly as he'd imagined. Even if they didn't run afoul of those few pinnacle-level elite players, they could still encounter all sorts of surprising champions and Pets.

Someone like this Radiant Priest before them, for instance.

Able to buff his Pet along with himself, having access to more exotic forms of attack (like a Psystrike), not to mention being able to Purify and Devour all kinds of Elemental magic… combined with the Lich's vast command of Dark and Undead magics, it might even prove to be a match for Black Rock.

***

While they were considering this new development, the Lich threw out a mass of black shadow, which completely engulfed both the Priest and the Lich.

Qin Ruo's expression betrayed a hint of consternation. This Radiant Priest who accompanied Savior was indeed proving to be no common player. His reflexes alone demonstrated that he was the equal of any Field Commander! With his first move, he'd caught Wandering Soul in his Darkmist—Blindness was the most debilitating to those of the warrior classes.

Granted, with what Qin Ruo knew of Wandering Soul's abilities, he knew that neither the Priest nor the Tier 5 Lich would pose any real threat for the time being. The question was whether Wandering Soul would be able to handle himself sensibly.

Remembering the Tier 3 Terra Swordmaster he'd met in the Goblin Mountains, he was willing to bet on him against any odds.

Meanwhile, the fighting had begun in earnest. With the phenomenal range of Qin Ruo's Aqua-type Elemental Perception, he could see that Wandering Soul was doing him proud, neither retreating nor throwing out his Pet in a panic. Advancing boldly while bringing out his Aura Drill, he scattered the Darkmist like fog before a gale, and was upon the Lich in the blink of an eye.

Shwing!

Dark ochre lines spiderwebbed across his blade as he brought it down heavily upon the Lich's Shadow Barrier.

One and a half seconds later, although mostly kept safe by his Aura Drill, he nevertheless got hit by the Priest's Elemental Wave!

The Radiant Priest had predicted that Wandering Soul would bring out some form of defensive measure. The moment he'd felt the presence of his opponent's magic, he'd finally had the opportunity to unleash the spell he'd been holding on to!

There was a flash of golden light, and the very air shook for a moment!

The Aura Drill was broken, but the Elemental Wave hadn't been fast enough to cancel the power of Wandering Soul's attack, which cut through the Barrier and tore away over two thousand HP from the Lich!

”Hmph.” Savior sneered, seeing this.

Swordmasters only had two defenses against magic: one was Aura Drill, and the other was Elemental Armor. The former was highly effective, while the latter broke immediately after absorbing a fatal attack, and required a period of fifteen seconds before it could be used again.

There was no way either Kevin or the Lich would grant him such an opportunity: the moment he lost his Elemental Armor, the Priest's Psychic magic and the Lich's Dark magic would render the young Terra Swordmaster helpless, unless…

Another flash of light, and another unbelievable sight:

In that instant when Kevin used his Elemental Wave to dispel Wandering Soul's Aura Drill, a piercing white light burst forth from the boy.

Roar!

It was a battle cry worthy of the king of beasts!

Two pairs of wings, shaped of pure light!

The radiant golden form of one of the Beastkin!

Its presence instantly overwhelmed the sense of dread emanating from the Lich, and the color washed out of Kevin's face.

”This…”

The Lich's first actual attack spell crashed against the golden Half-Lion that had suddenly appeared in front of Wandering Soul.

The Heaven's Peal Lion!

A second Tier 4 Ultimate Boss, no lesser to the Lich. Now that it was at Tier 5, it far surpassed even the Tier 5 Lich!

A Light-elemental Ultimate Boss, its body was completely unharmed by the Lich's Dark magic.

This latest surprise got a reaction from Savior, who was watching from a distance.

With extremely high resistance to Dark magic, a Light-elemental Ultimate Boss was completely immune to Dark-elemental effects.
