...
Everyone looked on silently as Silver walked back with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Hehe, how was that Master?" He asked with a smile and Christopher nodded.
"You did well and still kept the damage to a minimum, good job." Christopher paused and gave Silver the desired reward, headpats.
The others looked on with some envy, wishing it was them.
After a but, Christopher turned in the direction the skeleton creature had come from.
"Well, we have our target. Let's go." When he said that, he leaned forward before shooting forth like a rocket.
The others followed suit and headed deeper into the ancient city.
After a while, they all felt Mana gather and jumped away just as bone spikes erupted from the ground to impale them.
"Looks like someone is getting impatient." Umbra chuckled as the group didn't slow down and kept moving towards their destination.
As they moved, the dark Mana in the area got thicker and thicker, causing Chiara mostly to get even more irritated by the second. But she refused to do anything that could upset Christopher.
Eventually, they finally reached the end of the ruins, and they laid eyes on the boss of the dungeon.
Seated highly on the throne of bones, the Lich looked down on the group, purple Flames burning from its eye sockets.
"What Business do you have here?" It's voice was raspy and boomed throughout the cavern, however before any of them could reply.
"You are very bold, expressing your cute darkness authority like that." Umbra floated forward, his expression one of disdain.
"How Dare You be so brazen?" His tone was filled with power and a terrific pressure instantly erupted from his body, completely suppressing the Aura of the Lich.
The flames in the eyes of the Lich flickered as it felt the heavy pressure descend.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"... What grievances do you have With me?" The Lich's tone was actually very careful as it spoke, knowing fully well that no one in the group in front of it should be treated lightly.
"And why should we give you our reasons?" Umbra replied and the pressure doubled.
"Umbra, that's enough." Suddenly, Christopher spoke and Umbra paused before looking at him with a pout.
"Aww, but it was getting fun." He whined.
Christopher walked next to him and rubbed his head.
"I wanna do something with this guy, okay?" Hearing his gentle tone, the unwillingness in Umbra's heart instantly vanished and he giggled.
"Hehe, okay." Immediately, the pressure let up and Christopher thanked Umbra before walking forward.
He stared up at the Lich and asked calmly.
"What is your name?" At this, the Lich tilted its head.
"... I do not need a name. Such things are pointless." Christopher merely nodded.
"I see. Regardless, you have two options at this moment." He held out his hand and Scarlet appeared with a flash of red light.
At this moment, Christopher pointed at the Lich that was floating high in the air and said, his voice like an Emperor's decree.
"Downforce." Instantly, the Lich that had been floating felt an irresistible force crash down on it, the barrier around its body shattering to pieces as it smashed into the ground with a loud boom.
All the remaining monstrosities also experienced the same pressure, but theirs was more intense as their bodies were ground down to dust.
The Lich struggled to move as Christopher walked towards it casually, and when he reached it, he squatted near its head and said.
"I told you." The Lich managed to look up at him.
It knew Christopher was stronger, it sensed it the moment he entered the cave. However...
'To think there was such a difference. It's hard to believe he's even human!' It exclaimed in its mind as Christopher said.
"Well, you are mine now." He snapped his fingers, and the Lich suddenly found itself in a new location.
"Wh-" Before it could even utter a word or observe its surroundings, pain unlike anything it had ever experienced erupted from the depths of its soul.
It consumed its mind and every aspect of its existence and left it reeling.
It had long thought that it was incapable of pain, its physical body lacking such a weakness. But what it was experiencing was far more than anything it had experienced while it was alive and more.
But eventually, the pain subsided. And when it did, the Lich was shocked when it felt its body.
"Wh-What?" It looked at its hands in shock.
The bones were still white, but they were more vibrant and pearly. Moreover, it could see purple markings on them and it assumed such a thing had occurred for the rest of its body.
But its appearance wasn't the only thing. It's strength as well, had also received an incredible boost, far more than it was just moments ago.
"Have you come to?" A familiar voice echoed and it looked up to see Christopher looking down on it.
It knew it should feel some sort of indignation or hate towards the Human that had beaten it so thoroughly, yet when it looked at him, all it felt was gratitude, and admiration.
Without even thinking, it bowed down it's head and said respectfully.
"Master."
Christopher saw this and nodded in satisfaction. He had gained a lot more from this journey than he had hoped.
'Let's see this guy's stats.'
Race: Arch-Lich Rank: Ruler Affinity: Darkness, Undead, Bone Physique: Advanced Extreme Bloodline: Death Monarch Abilities→> Christopher saw his stats and was very satisfied. He then looked at The Lich and said. "From now on, your name is Thanatos."
