Chapter 167 (2/2)

Once a Lich, they would lose any chances of having a normal life and suffer forever because of a terrible curse.

‘What on earth did that Arsene guy do to become a Lich?’

“It’s an ugly excuse, but I wouldn’t have asked Princess Reina to do it if I hadn’t been beaten by him. He’s already mastered dark and white magic, and it’s almost impossible to get rid of him with swordsmanship or general magic.”

Magi’s epidemic was divine power.

But in the current time, no one in the Rhodesia continent was strong enough to face Arsene head-on.

The Pope of the Holy Arthenia Empire couldn’t overpower him.

That was why Erenes was determined that the only means to fight against a Lich was using elemental power, and to get that strength, he needed the door to the Spirit World to be opened.

“Kul! Kukl…! You already know that I’m not scared of death. If anyone would follow after me and fulfill the wishes of the fairies, I’m happy to die. But I am afraid that the beings who disturbed the realm of life and death will cause this world to end.”

If Arsene’s power as a Lich continued to grow stronger, the continent, or Middle-Earth, would be ruined.

When that time came, neither the fairies nor the humans would be able to withstand their downfall.

Erenes took a twig from his sleeve and handed it to Luke.

“Please defeat Arsene. All the fairies will follow and help you.”

“You don’t even have to say it,” Luke assured him.

Luke once again had a vengeful expression. He looked at Erenes who had a calm face.

Until then, he was forced to try and live a little more, but now he had reached his limit.

Even if he held on for a few more days, he would still meet his end.

“Then, I have a favor.”

At the words of Erenes, Luke nodded.

Luke looked over at the attendants who were there.

Erwin and the dark elves bowed to him. They could feel a strong will to follow him and any of his commands.

Luke looked at them with his cold expression and spoke to them, “I believe that you know what you have to do. I hope you won’t break my hope and beliefs for your own sake.”

“…”

Understanding what Luke meant, they all nodded quietly, and everyone went out of the room except for Erwin, who was looking after Erenes.

Luke ended up calling for Victor, who was standing on a corner.

“Please bring in Sir Pavel because there is something I need to discuss with him and tell Meister Mute of Katarina Magic Tower that I will visit him soon.”

“Understood.”

There was a lot he wanted to ask, but Victor suppressed his curiosity and followed Luke’s command. The important thing in the moment wasn’t to satisfy his curiosity but to find Princess Reina.

After Victor went out, Luke went to the permanent manor of Lamer.

The report about Reina disappearing and the story of Arsene was frustrating and complicated.

However, it wasn’t like he could just sit down and think.
