Chapter 264: Time to evacuate

It has been e location The beings around it eak but it still wanted to spend so thee containing strange worround was transformed into its lair and the bodies that continuously respawned were turned into fla skeletal minions

Yet what interested it s that rarely caeon monsters the Lich encountered they varied vastly Soe and some were small Their skeletal structure was different and soans were also rarer than the others which e thing happened not soon after it left Before it wasn’t aware of it but after killing soer There was no pro the information but the Lich certainly knew that it had leveled up Slowly as its forces greas getting stronger, the feeling of ot about leaving this place for adrive was interrupted on this faithful day The strange bags of flesh began to appear less and less until a group of slightly stronger ones came close to its lair Previously it didn’t even need to coh Yet this s enough to escape

Then a peculiar thing happened, it could feel it The minion that it left behind in the area it first appeared had been defeated The link to itsit saw flashed before its eyes It was soe wolf-like creature that it had never seen before and behind it stood a strange arht it was just a new variant for it to study but it turned out to beout a unique rew accustomed to, it was the same one as the beam of mana that collided with it Could this be the source of it all? Could that arave it freedom?

It was momentarily stunned as it just continued to focus its ht show ensued soon after and the five creatures its e, they juive up on their lives, it didn’t seeed to survive

This was a chance for the Lich, it needed to find who that person was It descended down the hole it had previously come out of with the help of the lesser levitation spell Slowly but surely it arrived at the tunnel and there it could feel the e feeling went through its e for could be around the corner There was a probleeaway Was it aware of its presence and decided to flee?

The Lich grew angry, how could the thing that awoke it deny it? Why would it be unwilling to give it the answers it desired? It wanted to knohat this world was and no one would stand in its way of discovering the truth Without hesitating anymore it stepped forward, quickly it would capture the one that set it free to exahly

Its approach was htly different but the spells they produced were similar to the ones it knew With how much it had studied the mana pattern it was quite easy to disperse the particles before they collided with its own shi+eld y

The Lich wanted to stop and exaer prize before him Why should he settle for these empty shells if their creator wasn’t far away froical explosions that didn’t cause a single point of health to drop

Finally, it arrived at the y blast This one was more similar to the beam that continuously invaded its previous home It troubled it a bit et through its ical defenses To the Lich’s dis for disappeared behind a secret wall that it was unaware of

How could it have known that there was another way out of this place? Did the being with the uniquefroer and charged at the closed passage Before getting to it, the passage was closed

This reh the hidden opening Even when it continued to slah to get it through Soered to ih it but the time it would require would be tre that had it vanished froh this wall but it couldn’t just give up What if the ar for it to leave? It needed to continue and get through it but this was not enough The Lich no that there was a possibility of hidden entrances and exits It was possible for his target to flee while it was spending all of its ti it needed to leave this place but the arain Luckily one of its skills that it had learned after leveling up had just gone off cooldown Without waiting for another second it pointed out with its staff at an ereen occult sy followed by a skeletal shape

This skill drained a lot ofhile After aa body like the lesser ones This one was much taller than the rest and its bones were black as obsidian The horns and aniuished it frouard this place while it tended to other things

With this out of the way the Lich quickly h a lot of ed to get back to the original lair

As it stepped down onto the ledge it was greeted by the mostly mindless minions The skeletal soldiers spread apart as theirWith a wave of its bone staff, it canceled the illusory spell that no one was able to detect

This opening had been set through Now on the other hand it was spacious enough for several skeletal warriors to squeeze in without a problereen once e open space There as if waiting for his call a swar eyes followed suit

…

“How long have you been hiding this place? Hey, does the city Lord know about this… wait, was it his Idea?”

“You’re asking a lot of questions, now isn’t really the ti so many questions, I’ve just almost died to a tier 3 Lich with a s around here…”

“Aye, Ah bet he hud so to do wi' it!”

“Wedamir, I know that you dislike Wayland but I don’t think that he would be wandering around here if he knew that there was a Lich roary dwarf that was following behind her Some time had passed since they escaped into these tunnels At the e empty chamber that looked like a place fit for a boss Roland that was guiding them here didn’t say et out first

He was trying to wrap his head around the thing he had done The Lich out there was running loose and was clearly not acting like a eon It was more in line with the free eons Roland didn’t have enough ti skill but he wouldn't be surprised if the Lich’s level was higher than before

While the other continued to ask him questions about this place his mind was elsewhere Somehow he had to come to terms with his blunder and that he was probably responsible for releasing that monster Perhaps he couldn’t be totally sure if he was the only reason but all hints pointed his way If it was true and all of it was his fault then the lives of the people that died to the Lich would be on his conscience

‘Was I being too greedy?’

“Hey, Wayland, what's wrong with you?”

“Huh?”
