Chapter 713 - You Thought You Didn’t Confess? (2/2)

That was definitely an unbelievable matter for an ordinary Mage.

Looking at the dimming red stripes on the wall, Roland put on a gloating smile and dropped three magic spiders again.

Let’s see how you can destroy these three “eyes” that can hardly be noticed.

After the magic spiders stepped into the darkness, Roland strode on.

Because his fiery form was luminous by itself, he didn’t need extra spells such as Illumination.

After walking for about five minutes, he suddenly stopped, because the magic spiders had sent pictures back.

At the end of the dark cave was a round space that looked like a burial pit.

An infinite number of undead creatures had crammed into the pit, with a lich at their center.

It was a stereotype that liches were smelly creatures with ulcers on the top of their head and oozing puses at the bottom of their feet.

But this lich was different. He was quite handsome with his golden hair and blue eyes, and he was very strong. He could’ve easily impressed others as a descendant of a noble family had it not been for all the undead creatures around him.

He seemed to have noticed the magic spiders. He smiled in disdain and curled his finger at the magic spiders.

It was almost as if he were shouting, “Just come here!”

Roland sped up and soon came to the end of the cave.

Seeing a fiery man walking over, the lich snapped his fingers, and the undead creatures that surrounded him slowly split up, making a straight pathway between them.

“Fiery man. It’s really you, Roland.” Intense hatred burst out of his eyes. “The magic attack on the ground just now that was almost a forbidden spell must be the fireball spell that you’re famous for.”

“It’s indeed my work.” Roland’s voice sounded dull in the fire element form. “You can’t get away. My companions have surrounded this area. Speak. How many accomplices do you have? Why did you come after me?”

The lich laughed so crazily and madly that his body was shaking nonstop. “You’re threatening a lich? Do you not know that you can’t kill me until you find my phylactery?”

Roland nodded. “Of course I do, but I’ve remembered your mental power waves. It’s all right. I’ve tried to create a spell that can search for mental power and distribute quests for you everywhere. I’m weak as an individual, but money can be very powerful as long as you have enough of it.”

He wasn’t lying.

The Church of Magic was giving him more money every month. Also, magic teleportation arrays had been set up in one third of the major cities in Fareins.

Many smaller countries were starting to construct magic arrays too, which made transportation and administration easier.

As the magic teleportation arrays were established throughout the world, Roland would make an unbelievable amount of money every month.

But of course, the Church of Magic would make even more money. They had more shares.

Money could get things done on most occasions.

Hearing what Roland said, the lich couldn’t have looked more awful.

He had imagined a lot of scenarios. For example, Roland was furious to see that he was a lich, but knowing that it was impossible to deal with him, Roland would give in and negotiate with him.

He didn’t expect Roland to threaten him in such a way.

If people everywhere started searching for him as Roland threatened, there would be few places he could go to.

It was probably impossible for him to come to Hollevin again.

When he thought of that, he said gloomily, “Roland, that’s truly brutal of you.”

“Not as brutal as you. There’s no grudge between us. Why did you come to me for trouble?” Roland raised his eyebrows. “Why do you and your wolf-masked fellows want me dead? Did I ruin your business?”

After a chuckle, the lich put on his wolf mask. “There’s no hate. We simply want to hunt you down.”

They were really trying to take him down?

“Roland, we’ll go after you alone in the future and spare your friends and lovers,” suggested the lich. “In return, you can’t hunt us with helpers.”

“Do you take me for a fool?”.

Without further ado, Roland threw a small fireball at him.

That was exactly the “basic attack” of the fire element form.

The lich reacted fast too and threw out a black spear, which hit the fireball. Both of them were neutralized.

“Why didn’t you accept my offer?” asked the lich grimly. “That’s a fair deal!”

“Fair?” Roland burst into laughter and crazily threw out fireballs, while he said, “You really think I’m stupid. Is there anything worth negotiating between us?”

The lich’s offer seemed fair at first.

If Roland didn’t hunt them with other forces, they wouldn’t go after Roland’s family and friends.

One condition for another.

But the problem was that they came to Roland for trouble first. How could they get away easily?

One would’ve ignored that if one were beguiled by them and focused on so-called “fairness.”

Then, one would be taken advantage of.

The innate fireballs of the fire element form could explode too and were reasonably powerful, but naturally, they couldn’t compare to Roland’s own fireballs.

That being said, when the fireballs exploded consecutively in the cave, it was like a whole team of soldiers were throwing grenades nonstop.

The noises of the explosions were echoing nonstop.

The undead creatures all fell like wheat that had been cut down.

The lich could only create a dark magic power shield and look at Roland’s attack coldly.

He couldn’t attack.

The lich was best at curses and summoning undead creatures.

But those advantages were useless against Roland.

Very soon, the undead creatures in the cave were cleared.

The lich was left alone, with a feeble magic power shield.

“Your friends and lovers will die miserably, I swear on my blood.”

“Humph!”

Having no time for his nonsense, Roland simply condensed a small blue fireball and tossed it out after it grew to twenty centimeters in diameter.

After an intense explosion, the lich was gone. Even the cave had half collapsed.

In reality, the blue fireball of such a size would’ve been as powerful as the explosion of a 100-millimeter cannonball.

In the game, boosted by the high stats and talents of the characters, the explosion was at least as powerful as that of a 250-millimeter cannonball.

Roland resumed his human form and put on a mysterious smile.

It seemed that the lich didn’t confess anything, but Roland had still gathered a lot of intelligence from the conversation and his own observations.

It was well-established that Mages were smart and keen observers.
