Chapter 51
Elder Lich
Translator : PolterGlast
"Ooo..."
What came was a
monster that looked very similar to the Lich that appeared on the seventh
floor.
The robe it was
wearing was of a higher quality, and it exuded an air of dignity.
And while the jewel on
the top of the staff was the size of a fist for the Lich, this one is about the
size of a baby's head.
The size of the staff
seems to be about one size larger to match the jewel.
Also, if you look
closely, there is a little flesh on the bones... the difference in appearance
is not that significant.
But the pressure
emitted from that body is overwhelmingly intense compared to the monsters I've
fought so far.
And the most abnormal
thing of all - the Elder Lich was completely floating in mid-air.
And, with the wind
surrounding its body, it was approaching me at a tremendous speed.
If you look closely,
you can see that the green jewel attached to the staff in his hand is glowing.
Perhaps he is already
using wind magic?
Wind magic I don't
know... is it the flying magic that I can't use yet!?
If so, that means he
has already mastered wind magic to LV 10.
An opponent who can
use magic as much as or more than me...
As if to show the
power of my opponent, something in my head has been ringing alarm bells all
this time.
(--Okay, let's run
away)
The decision was made
in an instant.
While watching the
Elder Lich trying to approach me, I immediately activated [Home] with my left
hand and opened the door.
And the coin already
set in my right hand was aimed firmly at the Elder Lich.
"--Railgun!"
I, who had already
finished preparing to activate it, drew a line of lightning and fired the coins
at the Elder Lich.
It hit the Elder Lich,
which was heading straight toward me at the shortest possible distance.
With a cracking sound,
it shattered several ribs.
"Ooo..."
The attack certainly
did damage.
But that's all.
The core in the back
was unscathed, and it was emitting a dim lantern-like light.
The Elder Lich is
coming towards me at about the same speed as before, without showing any sign
of concern about the broken ribs.
In my estimation, the
railgun calculates damage by adding the physical attack power of the flying
object to the pure magic attack power of the magic itself and referring to
both.
So there is no doubt that
the Elder Lich has quite high defense and magic resistance.
Since he doesn't care
even if his ribs disappear like that, it's better to think that he can also
recover with dark magic.
Yeah, with my current
self, it's impossible to buy time to use Judgment Ray while fighting this Elder
Lich.
It seems difficult
unless I can use dual activation more skillfully, or activate LV 10 magic
instantly.
"Oo..."
I immediately stepped
into my home.
Then, with the door
open, I observe the floor on the other side.
The Elder Lich should
not be able to see me anymore, but it continued to fly and held up his staff
towards me.
The green jewel
embedded in the tip of the staff is cloudy.
It was as if a drop of
black was dropped into a green palette.
The black mixed with
the green started to dance, and the cloudy green emitted black light.
"Oooooo!"
While making a
chilling voice, the Elder Lich begins to construct magic.
I had a bad feeling,
so I immediately closed the door and locked it.
Then... BOOM!
From the other side of
the door, I hear a tremendous explosion as if all the heavy machinery was
activated at once.
I can see that the
door that is taking the impact is clearly bent over.
Cold sweat ran down my
body as I imagined the scene on the other side.
I gripped the door
tightly while trembling... and breathed a sigh of relief when the door
withstood the attack without breaking.
And after confirming
that the Elder Lich's attack did not come after that, I was able to breathe a
sigh of relief... I slumped down at the entrance.
"The difficulty
level is definitely too high all of a sudden..."
All I could do was
mutter that.
Apparently, the real challenge for the [Knight's Holy Remains] starts from this tenth floor--.
