“I agree,” A woman’s voice sounded from the distance, stirring Kyle in his sleep. “It was most unfortunate.”
“Indeed,” Another voice sounded. “We must inform him.”
Kyle opened his eyes, and immediately closed them again as the first rays of sunlight at dawn blinded him. He covered his eyes with his hand and tried again.
He was laying on the grass, just outside the dungeon he, Caille and Luke had gotten out of yesterday. He blinked a few times to try and wake up as footsteps neared.
“Summoner,” The Priestess of the Golden Flame spoke. “We cleared the underground tunnels. Not a single creature is left alive.”
Aoris nodded. “But we did not find the snake you talked about. It must have sensed our presence and escaped to the bottom of the chasm.” She folded her arms. “I can go down and look for it, if you wish.”
Kyle shook his head. “No, that’s fine.” He muttered, still trying to wake up properly. “Make sure

“It’s beautiful!” Igna’s shout and her amazed smile clearly made that dangerous trip down the chasm worth it for Luke and Caille. “It’s like that story – like the golden fleece in Greek mythology!” Igna continued as she carefully touched the gold coloured cloth. “We can call it the ‘Golden Tablecloth’” Luke suggested with a smirk. Kyle stood back. This trip had only been somewhat worth it for him because of two vital pieces of information he gained. The fact that his summons’ kills granted him experience points even when he wasn’t in the area made things a lot easier, and the existence of a second path to his side of the chasm was vital information. While he wasn’t immediately worried about attacks to him or his plateau, he felt like just shutting the door at the end of the stairwell and putting a log against it wasn’t the best solution. He needed to find a better way to either seal that entrance, or to have a way to be alerted if anyo
The Lich's Master Chapter 117: A New Threat Emerges
“Such insolence!” The Priestess of the Golden Flame exclaimed as soon as she spotted the group of horsemen charging at them. “How dare you raise a hand to us?!” Her voice, booming with power and authority, echoed across the hills. The horsemen paused, they stopped their charge as the soldiers looked at each other, some in confusion, others with almost crazed eyes. “We serve you no longer, turncoat!” One of them shouted with an almost mocking tone. “We have found the Chosen One. He will lead us to the glorious Flame!” Another one chimed in. Kyle scowled. “What the hell are they talking about?” He asked, shooting the Priestess a quick glance. “Blasphemy!” Irena retorted. “There is no Chosen One. We are all equal in the Flames!” She pointed at the group. “Now tell me – why do you attack? This man has given the Embers life and nourishment!” The soldiers muttered amongst themselves. Kyle gulped, his heart was racing. What was all thi
The Lich's Master Chapter 118: Tier II
The skies were washed in crimson as Irena and Kyle decided to stop for the night. The Priestess was perfectly fine with going on, but Kyle was exhausted. He had been on the move for days now, with only minimal rest. And now… after a day riddled with intermittent fights and constant walking, he was done. “Do whatever you need to make sure the campsite is safe.” He said with a tired sigh as he took his cloak off and threw it on the patch of tallgrass by a large rock. He sat on the cloak, then laid on his back. “I’m heading to sleep,” he added with a yawn, and closed his eyes. He heard the Priestess of the Golden Flame chant with a low voice, casting her protective spells as she circled their campsite. As much as he didn’t trust her much, Kyle gave in to the sweet darkness of sleep. His dreams were calm and serene. When he woke up with the first light of dawn, he felt well rested, despite having slept on a piece of cloth thrown on some grass. He wasn’t sure at w
The Lich's Master CHapter 119: Hidden Away
Reading the spell’s description, Kyle’s smile widened. He picked the spell without hesitation. ‘Shoot a sharp shard made of Light Magic to the enemy. The shard bursts into pieces upon impact, each piece dealing separate instances of damage. The number of shards this spell creates increases with the spell’s level.’ Kyle’s eyes widened. Ordinary, usable spells also had levels?! Not just the passive skills had them? He put four more points into the spell without even a second of hesitation, then shook his head and chuckled at his own stupidity. He also quickly went back and levelled ‘Shield’ to Level 5, since it was the spell he used most so far. Once that was over and done with, he once again looked at his passive skills. The selection of available passives wasn’t as wide or varied as the spells at his disposal, but some were incredibly useful still. ‘Summons’ Strength’, and ‘Light Mastery
The Lich's Master Chapter 120: Shards of Light
Five crystalline shards appeared at the tip of his fingers. They glimmered, shining a beautiful golden light around themselves. Then, they rushed in the air, each hitting one of the men rushing towards Kyle and Irena. For a split second, nothing happened. Then, those men’s chest burst open with explosions as shrapnel of crystalline light scattered about. In a matter of seconds, the entire attacking group had fallen, either to the initial blast, or to the scattering pieces of crystalline light. Kyle paused, then breathed a shaky sigh. “Well, that takes care of it.” He muttered quietly. This had been beyond his expectations. “Let’s keep going.” He said and walked past them as the bodies quickly disintegrated into nothingness. “Impressive,” Irena commented after a few moments of silence. “Your power has begun to grow rapidly, Summoner. It makes me happy to see such growth.” Kyle shook his head. Sure, he had grown, but ‘rapidly’ wouldn’t be a word he woul
The Lich's Master Chapter 121: Fir'don
Irena’s voice was filled with hatred. Her fists were clenched as she glared at a set of doors straight ahead. “There – I can sense its power.” She hissed, and stepped towards the doors, almost like she were in a trance. “Irena, wait.” Kyle’s sharp voice seemed to snap her out of her anger momentarily. She glanced at him over her shoulder. “What is it, Summoner?” She asked, a fire of hatred still burning in her eyes. Kyle hesitated only for a split second. “Tell me what to expect.” She tilted her head for a moment. “Powerful fire magic. And if I am right, a spear wielding battlemage.” Kyle scowled. “I see.” he pursed his lips. “Let’s go then.” In truth, he wanted to turn back and wait for the Fallen Knight Aoris. But he could see the fire in Irena’s eyes. This clearly meant a lot for her. It seemed she had an emotional attachment to this. And… no matter how he felt about her, he couldn’t take the chance to face h
The Lich's Master Chapter 122: The Priestess' Trial
‘Vector, Servant of the Ash Demon’ A second health bar appeared on top of that of the Ash Demon’s, giving Kyle quite the frighten. “Two bosses…?” He muttered as his heartbeat fastened. “Filthy mage!” Vector shouted, spitting as he spoke. His eyes glimmered with hatred. “Fight me like man! Draw your weapon!” Kyle pointed at the man again. “My weapon is my magic. Shards of Light!” Once again, five crystalline shards appeared at the tip of his fingers and rushed at the Servant of the Ash Demon without pause. The man, having learned his lesson, didn’t bother trying to block the projectiles, instead, he threw himself to the side to avoid them completely, then rushed at Kyle, his flaming weapon in hand. Kyle narrowed his eyes and pointed at the ground beneath his own feet. “Sunburst,” He whispered as Vector leapt high up into the air, and brought his flaming spear down upon Kyle, only for it to bounce off of his barrier spell. Despite
The Lich's Master Chapter 123: Crimson Flames
Kyle’s eyes widened. He turned to look at Irena again and saw it. The otherworldly red glow in her eyes, the same colour as her flames. Almost as if she was in a daze, she cast her spells almost randomly, not even bothering to try and aim at the Ash Demon anymore. “Yeah no,” Kyle muttered, annoyed. “This has gone on for long enough.” He turned at Vector. “Shards of Light.” He said, pointing at the man’s chest. The spear wielding warrior’s eyes widened again as he dashed away, but the crystalline shards of light followed him. Kyle heard a grunt, followed by a pained moan after the shards exploded. The second health bar at the bottom finally depleted with that final attack. “About damn time.” Kyle muttered as he stomped towards Irena, annoyed. “Oi, Irena!” He shouted again as he approached her. “Snap out of it!” The priestess didn’t seem to hear him. Her gaze was focused on the cackling demon, as she shot fireballs and the like to the air. Kyle t
