Chapter 108: The Secret of the Lich
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
The over reliance of the Undead Cala the fall of the Lich, Carlohin’s Undead army falls apart
In our eyes as ex-Undead Lords, this shows that the army’s structure is extremely chaotic The h-tier Undead they would have With more middle-level commanders within the arreater ih their leadershi+p They would also be even less fearful of getting killed
However, the reason why Eye army fell apart after his death back then was because he also walked the opposite extreh-tier and Middle-tier Undead in theirwith the formation of the Country of Undead and the teht Scepter, an opportunity opens for the powerful to cli the said, that junior Lich of ht in front of aincantation Is he that sick of living? Is this what you taught him? His battle experience is incredulously horrid Looks like your standard as an educator is getting worse and worse”
The darned cat on my shoulders became so mad from my words that her hairs stood on ends If it wasn’t for the fact that she is still feeling awful froh ain
I understand her quite well Usually, she is about just as thick-skinned as me, indifferent to any words directed towards her However, the ic and her standard as an educator, she would be provoked in an instant
“That… That isn’t taught byThe fool is obviously the one who lacks battle experience I aarten teacher; do I still have to teach these basics over and over again?”
Yes, basics As a fragile Mage job, the first law that they have to observe is to maintain a safe distance fro a battle between a powerful Mage and a close co their best to close in distance on the Mage while the Mage would be using their defensive spells to avoid theh Teleportation This cycle will go on continuously until a gap appears in one’s defense, and that would be the decisive e would gain sufficient distance and time to focus their firepower to blast away the close corind away the defensive spells, escape spells and control spells of the other party and slice them apart
To say the truth, this isn’t very fair The Spellcasters could err over and over again whereas it could be fatal the moment the close combatants commit a mistake Under most circumstances, close coes and end up being played to death
However, there is no such as absolute equality in this world Mage jobs have a high requirement for innate talent and they number less than a tenth of the other jobs Furtherrooes to earn a position of respect in the human society compared to close coes and a king of the royal fa in an estee in opportunities to accu along a large group of bodyguards So, how could it be possible for him to stand on the frontlines and be forced into a life and death situation?
Should I say that he inexperienced to the point of naivety? This junior of ht in front of a close coh my power rank is much lower than his, he shouldn’t underesti that I didn’t dismantle him forcefully, if I were to send in a few more attacks from the Pale Justice, he would also be done for
“I… I think that I should expel Carlohin froht such a shameful apprentice Actually, you should be secretly joyful over it If it wasn’t for this fellow lacking in battle experience to such a ludicrous point, given his strength as a Saint-rank Lich along with his SemiGod Equipment, it is definitely impossible for you to defeat him”
What Harloys said is true Actually, this couldn’t be bla him well Apparently, he would usually th as a Saint-rank and his Seh-circle spells Meeting someone who is immune to his spells, he iiven his strength as a Legend-rank Fire Mage and a Saint-rank Necromancer, not to mention the possession of a SemiGod Equipment, he could have dealt with us patiently There would at least be a dozen methods for him to claim victory and he wouldn’t have ended up decapitated
This sufficiently verifies an old adage No matter hoerful a person’s martial arts is, if their brain is unable to function well, they would end being put in place by a concrete brick
I nod h a smile had creeped onto my face
“Heh, this junior of mine is almost like a captain of a treasure delivery convoy The equip this SemiGod Equipment with joy”
[The Dark God’s Breath of Death]
[Attack Power: 1-2 Tier: Sele-handed staff Prerequisite: Intelligence 15+, High-ranked Necromancer]
[Breath of Death: Allows one to store 3 Death Spells that is ofthe user to instant cast it the moment it is activated For a 9-circle spell (Myth-rank), the user is able to cast it without incantation and only one 9-circle spell can be stored]
[Doible Doic is increased by 50 and the probability of Affliction of Death being inflicted is increased by 30]
[The Countenance of the Dead: The wielder’s Intelligence will be increased by 2, Stamina by 2 and he will be immune to all fear-related and death-related effects However, his charm will be reduced by 10 (This stat can be reduced to the point of negativity)]
[The Protection of the Dark God: Suic dae Before the protective barrier breaks, the wielder will be iic Duration: 10 seconds]
[The Rage of the Dark God: An active ability After it is activated, the next ic spell will be enchanted with the Affliction of Death effect, even if it is just a noric Bullet The Affliction of Death effect would be equivalent to the power rank of the spell]
[Soul Conversion: Siphon the soul of a dead and convert it into pure Power of Death]
[The Ancient Undead Emperor Dark God has once reached the pinnacle in the field of Death It is said that just by breathing, he is able to plunge the living into the world of the dead Even if he has already fallen, the Sement of his soul Perhaps, an Undead Lord would be able to coh this equiphest throne of as a SemiGod Undead Emperor]
This is a classical SemiGod Equipment as well as the profound wisdom hidden within it that could send Undead Lords into a state of frenzy could actually be neglected After all, it iselse, it is not so that could be attained forcefully Rather, the three instant-cast Death Spells of the Breath of Death ability alreadytool
Just with this ‘Breath of Death’ itself, it doesn’t need any other abilities Throwing out three Death Spells in an instant, ould be able to withstand it? Also, with the ‘Soul Conversion’ ability, the wielder’s mana would never run dry,
No wonder Carlohin’s battle experience would be that lacking With this Se everything Even if he is obstructed temporarily, he just has to siphon a few souls and continue blasting spells over
“Although they say that I ae, this junior of e”
Looking at the Protection of the Dark God, it seems that I have underestimated the other party When he chanted the spell to co his faith on this protective barrier To get through that 200 dae barrier, I would have at least takenelse even if I ed to break the barrier However, he didn’t expect that I would be unlike his previous opponents, that I wouldn’t utilizethe powerful Lich and instead choose to pull out his bones barehanded After pulling out his lower jaith one strike, he was unable to even chant any spells normally and naturally, the odds fell in our favors
If this toy were to be exposed outside, the Church of Holy Light would probably launch a crusade against me instantly I intended for Harloys to consuest a SemiGod Equipment Preparations still have to be made and thus, I kept the SemiGod Equipment joyfully
Just when ht of that defensive ability which didn’t activate as anticipated, five h evaluation of hiain
“This… I really didn’t teach this I… I don’t know him!”
“I believe you Such a brainless student indeed cannot be justified by the iuidance of a mentor He is probably born with a defect in his brain that cannot be cured with any ence is probably on par with that silly lass How did he ascend to Saint-rank?”
The e Toe began to ‘collect spoils of war’ However, thearound his roo it,a blue bottle wrapped in velvet Inside the bottle, a soulfire burns quietly
If there isn’t a second Lich here, this toy is surely the Carlohin’s phylactery
This is an ideal textbook exaht lose it To interpret the word ‘phylactery’ literally to such a level, he could be considered as eccentric as well
TL: Phylactery literally means Soul Box in Chinese And his soul is literally placed in a bottle in a box
While other Liches are trying their hardest to disguise their phylacteries over and over again, fearful of so this weakness of theirs, this phylactery which sits upright there without a hint of disguise left us stupefied
“Hey, Harloys, if you were to be converted into a Lich here, hoould you create your phylactery?”
“I would find some debris and throw it into the water after successfully converting it I can guarantee that no one would be able to find it You?”
“I would put it into an ordinary-looking concrete block and use it in the eway Passers-by would cross it every day but they would never iine that there would be a phylactery under their feet”
The two of the in both their eyes
“Alas, our heritage was unfortunate! Back then, I should have included an intelligence test in the entrance exams”
“Don’t tell others that I aain such a title”
The sighs of the two harer withstand all the sarcastic res, do you think that you could insult me casually just because I have lost? Noof Auland My senior? Do you knoho my master is? You think that you… Don’t shake the bottle, I a it!”
One of the reason why the textbook example of soul bottles has died out is because that souls contained in a bottle is really too fragile Just by slightly shaking it, Carlohin ihts
