He let go of the greatsword, and a sword appeared in his hand. He swung it around to get used to its weight before saying, "Let's start round two."Roar*The death knight roared, its body got enveloped in death energy, and it charged at him, slashing.Michael ducked, the sword passed over him, and he slashed at the monster's torso.Clang*The armor blocked the strike, but a cut still appeared on it and holy energy invaded through that, making the monster roar even more as it brought down its blade.Michael stepped out of the way or thought he did so, but the blade still hit him and embedded itself into his shoulder.Argh*He grunted in pain but used this chance and cut at the monster's neck.The death knight backed away, leaving the sword embedded in his shoulder as it dodged the strike.Michael, upon missing the strike, held the serrated blade and got it out from his shoulder. A deep cut appeared on his shoulder and the death energy was corroding the muscles further.Michael looked a
The expedition stayed in the arena for over two days before Maria came back and told others what she found. Unfortunately, she still didn't have any clue about the phylactery."There is a giant cavern system after this arena, and there are countless monsters in that cavern system, ranging from the oxyaizl to giant skeleton monster."Kenneth heard her describing each monster they would encounter if they took that path and said, “That should be the last area of the dungeon.”Everyone turned toward him, wanting to know why he said that."The fact that a death knight was guarding the entrance and that the death energy started getting concentrated in there tells me that the Lich must be in there.""Tell me, did you feel the death energy getting concentrated the more you travelled further in?"Maria nodded as she had that feeling of creepiness and death the further she travelled in. Now she knew what had caused it."There was a door which two giant skeletons were guarding."Everyone nodded.
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
