Chapter 1213: Ch 1213: Undead Lich and Dragon

The robed individual who was giving off the aura of a rank 10 powerhouse turned toward Shin and his friends. Immediately his identity became clear. It was a lich and probably the one who was formerly the magus who had created this place.

But during his life, he was just a rank 9 magus and according to the available information, he died while he was trying to reach the rank of 10 and had failed in the process.

But now, it looked like he was actually sucessful but not in the way he had hoped for.

This was actually a massive problem for Ren and his party. Even though he and Shuzu both were rank 9 and quite strong for this realm, they had reached this level very very recently.

And the gap between a rank 9 and a rank 10 was much wider compared to any other rank. So even if this lich here was the weakest existence of rank 10 and Shin was a hero with combat power to defeat people stronger than him, this battle was still not going to be easy.

But first, he wanted to see if the lich was conscious or not. Normally turning into lich got rid of the past life’s memories except for the memories regarding knowledge and magic. But there were some special self aware liches too.

And as this lich transformation was most probably the result of an experiment done by the magus himself, there was a high chance that he had made sure to keep his consciousness intact.

This magus was not known to be evil or something. He was way too dedicated to his research and extremely bad with money but these were very common qualities for research oriented magi like him.

So Shin stepped forward and tried to ask the magus about what he was doing. He was also being extremely respectful in the process.

But what greeted him was a "Gravity Crush" spell. It was a powerful rank 8 magic capable of crushing the target into a pulp with gravity. Even for Shin, experiencing this would not be pleasant.

So he dodged it somehow and used a ram like star soul to block the Gravity. This star soul was also special to him and was capable of manipulating Gravity, one of the strongest fundamental sources.

As for the other people, Tatsumi protected all of them with her barrier. As she was still enjoying the boost from the three headed wise ape, her spells had became more powerful and she was able to block the magic of a rank 10 magus.

Even though this was the Magus holding back and not going all out and she was also not the primary target, her being able to block this was a show of her excellent control over magic.

The barrier that she had used, it was powered by the origin source of space. So this was definitely a high quality barrier that only a few rare magi were able to create.

From this display, Shin judged that the lich was not a special individual and was moving based on pure insticts. So they had no other way but to fight it. And for this fight all of them needed to go all out too.

So immediately, almost all the individuals took out some blood red pills. From the colour, it was clear that this pill was not something safe. And that was actually true.

The red pill that almost all the members of this party had taken was called "limiter Unleasher". It was a powerful drug capable of boosting someone combat power by a massive degree but the backlash of using this drug was also crazy.

But while facing off against a rank 10, they did not have the luxury of choice and they needed the extra strength if they wished to survive.

The only two people who did not used it were Ellie and Kashimo. Ellie was too weak. So even with the boost of the drug, she would be useless for this battle. That was why, instead of joining others as powerless individuals after the end of the effect of the drug, her task was to take everyone away while they were powerless with the help of her undeads.

Kashimo’s reason for not taking this drug was very similar. As his task was to be a shield for everyone on the frontline, even with the boost, he would be powerless to block any attacks from a rank 10 powerhouse without doubt.

That was why, he also decided to stay fit and ready to carry his friends out if there was a need.

And this was how the battle started.

...

After the eighth rank gravity crush, the next spell that the lich used were a barrage of Heavy Blust. The name of this spell was simple but actually, it was a very powerful spell with the fundamental source of gravity.

But this was a rank 7 spell. So even with the mucn higher number count, a hyper boosted Tatsumi was able to block all of them all on her own.

At the same time, a boosted Shuzu went to cut the lich down. A regular Suzhu was already a very scary thing but a boosted one was basically something out of the most dangerous nightmare.

So like a well honed killing machine, she tried to cut the lich in half. The lich was ready for this and tried to block her sword swing with a Gravity barrier but at the very last moment, it actually jumped away.

And that turned out to be the current decision. That was because as soon as the sword came in contact with the barrier, it was able to cut through it easily.

And this one slash was not the end and Shuzu continued to go after him.

The barriers of the lich was useless and Shuzu was dodging even his ultra close range magic attacks easily. So all in all, she was definitely dominating this lich who had a very weak defense just like herself.

As for Shin and Nakamura, they were taking care of the Undead Dragon together. In this battlefield, the rank 10 lich was not the only danger and the rank 9 Undead Dragon was also dangerous enough.

So just like that, the battlefield was divided in two sides with Raphaela being the bridge in between. With her boosted healing and support, she was making sure that no one was ever in the danger of dying.

So this was how the battle started.
