Chapter 263: The chase begins. (2/2)

“It’s here…out a few one down here without expecting any proble rong First of all, four of the ten drones that he had moved inside of the tunnel

These four specific ones had the best equiprated the new turret technology that he had been experiave to each new iteration but in short, he called theer and their e turret that could move in a wide area It was not o down limited spaces like that tunnel it was the perfecttheir spider-like liround while the other duo was above the Thanks to Roland’s e and when the Lich ducked out of the corner they would activate

To supplement their escape Roland had also laid out a few traps While they were running away he had been attaching explosives to the walls, almost all of the ones that he had were now stuck to them and would detonate the moment someone passed by the him otherwise

The vieas quite limited but he could see the dot that represented the Lich start to h the pathway The mines that were placed there and that were supposed to react to his presence didn’t activate for some reason Perhaps the Lich had some kind of skill to detect or disable the runic bombs that he placed there?

They were still only simple runic devices that would activate when soe or stepped on them If the monster was able to evade his traps he would need to place more elaborate ones instead His new improved bonifying device before

The disk shape allowed for a better throw and the flat surface could easily stick to rocks One of these bo area As it connected with the wall it started to glow, this glow caused e purposes It was in short a self-hiding boic runes that were there could i the second line of defense and the adventurers were going through the exit his goleolemic eyes could see the skeleton surrounded by soh theeon It was also probably the one that juy blasts shot out froolems They were all enhanced mana arrows that used a sih armored opponents Before they collided with the Lich they started to decrease in size With the decreased ical barrier the monster surrounded itself

‘What is that? alike that’

Instead of cancelingelse The h control ofits control over theit in the process It was a si and hadthe oleically inclined opponents When two spell casters contended with each other most of the time the one with hest part was getting through their shi+elds that protected them from harm Even Roland would be able to an extend disperse eneencies in place for such an ocassion

“It’s here, get in!”

“shi+t are you sure about this? Can’t we justis alone!”

“It won’t be alone for long, now get in”

Ar in While they had the nu Roland wasn’t sure how the blazing skeletons were getting down fro it up on the radar, they weretheir way down here Even if they could take out this ether if the swarm of tier 2 skeletons arrived they would be done for

There were too ic attacks weren’t as effective Roland didn’t have ainst other spell casters Usually, the spells overpowered his opponents as they weren’t very experienced with thee on his own level and this Lich outranked him by a tier and also level

The better ould be tosouild would let such a strange eon They just needed to evacuate to the higher levels and wait for help The monster would probably re, at least that hat he was hoping for

Thisfroed forward as if it wasThe turrets continued to fire but they could not pierce through that ical barrier Soon theto properly attack the an to melt

Thethrough the gole them in the process This monster didn’t stop and continued to speed up as if he was after so was just around the corner and already shoving Ar into

Right as the angry glowing skeleton was charging through the entrance Roland detonated the charges there The explosion rocked the entire area and caused the rock fro to fall down Thismonster but this Lich had other plans

“What the…”

Roland backed away as he saw a y wash all over the place It was as if so churned out from within this ical energy that was used to stop thein The blasts that he detonated didn’t even e to halt the monster's approach and noas tiy traveled froem inside of his chest almost instantly This was the weapon that served hiold rank exam and his current stats had been enhanced further Yet to his disreen barrier it just couldn’t go through This creature ell equipped in defending itself againstthat he threw at it, the monster swatted it back

“shi+t…”

Roland quickly ducked into the secret passage as it was closing His last line of defense were the olems that tossed the option and while sorapple the rip they would overload their runic battery and produce a large explosion At least that hat they were supposed to do but instead, they found they that took on a h all of his creations were shoved to the side, they still bought hih tiry flaed at him This was the last he saw of it as the wall sla couldahile frantically opening up the olem Inside he found the i this was the only thing that could save him now, if the monster made it inside he would need to shoot it

However, as he was trying to connect the cables to his own ar Theon the wall began to decrease This whole area was surrounded by thick rock that was soic Even Rolland needed eon

This wasn’t all, he felt that thethis wall some kind of safety spell was initiated It seemed that he wouldn’t need to use this cannon, the et towards this side, or at least, not before they were long gone Thus after quickly getting up froround, he turned to the party of five

“We need to go”
