Kyle crouched behind the fallen log. He could see Aoris standing behind a large tree perhaps ten meters ahead of him as well.
He gulped, and waited, ready to cast his spells.
Soon, footsteps sounded, and a young elven woman entered his view. She ran past the tree Aoris was hiding behind, hopped over the log Kyle was crouched behind, and disappeared in the forest. Soon, more footsteps sounded, accompanied by the sound of metal hitting metal as the humans’ plate armour made it difficult to move fast at all.
Kyle licked his lips in anticipation. The group of humans soon entered his view. They all wore metal armour and carried fancy weapons. Immediately, Kyle recognised that armour. It was the same that Jeffrey used. These people were from his guild – he was sure of it.
He whispered softly as they approached the tree Aoris was hiding behind.
“Shards of Light.” He then hid his hand behind the log and watched as Aoris stepped out

The elven leader took much convincing, and the other elves even more. They protested at first, because they liked it here. The forest was gigantic, thick, and filled with life. The lake was the most beautiful blue it could be, and this was the home of these unicorns. It wouldn’t do to move up to the barren plateau, they cried. Where would their trees be?But their lives were on the line, and they were not stupid – they knew the plateau was the safest place to be. Kyle promised to help them with the move, as well as help them grow their ideal forest by the river. It took a while, but eventually, they accepted.“You did good to bring them to the plateau,” The Fallen Knight commented as they rode back to the cathedral. “They are strong warriors, and I am sure they will be of much help if we ever were to be directly attacked.”Kyle scowled. “That’s not why I wanted them to move to the plateau.” He dismissed her w
The Lich's Master Chapter 175: The Undead Drake
When Igna said it was an easy fight, Kyle didn’t really believe her. He thought it was just her showing off, boasting about how powerful her guild is. But no, seeing the group of thirty or so people just annihilate the undead drake, he almost felt bad for the thing. Almost.The beast was once a majestic creature, surely. But now, not much was left of its glorious wings, or majestic horns. Now, it was just an animated pile of bones, with a green breath attack and some necrotic spells.“So,” He shot Caille a quick glance. “How many times will we kill it?”The Eldritch Witch shrugged. “Till enough of us get bored.” She smirked.Kyle couldn’t help but chuckle. The pile of bones once against started to glow with a green power – the colour of necrotic energy that Kyle had become very accustomed to in the last couple of days. He pushed the memories of the Damhan-Nectidh and her lair aside and focused on the u
The Lich's Master CHapter 176: Visiting Arceum
Kyle wasn’t sure how to feel about being back in the city of Arceum. There were more people who could recognise him now, thanks to Jeffrey and his stupid underlings. But on the other hand, inside the city, attacking was prohibited. As in, if anyone tried to attack someone else, they’d immediately be struck down by a bolt of lightning.When Luke first mentioned it, Kyle had some trouble believing it, but Caille claimed to have seen it happen before. So, he just shrugged, and decided to accept it.“So, where to first?” Luke asked, glancing at Igna. The guild leader smirked. “First, we sell all of these bones and teeth and everything else the drake dropped!” She led them throughout the streets, to the small shop she’d brought Kyle before.They sold everything, pocketed their money, then hurried over to the auction house. It was almost dusk, and the auction would begin soon.“So,” Caille turned to look at

Kyle’s eyes shot wide open. “What?” He whispered as he looked around to try and see where the voice had come from.“Eleven!” Igna’s voice rose. Immediately, she had clenched her fists, and was glaring around, trying to find the owner of that voice as well.“Twenty!” The voice rose again. Igna’s eyes shot wide open as she shot Kyle and the others a quick glance. “I…” She muttered, clearly debating whether it was worth giving so much money for a single piece of armour.Kyle shook his head. “Don’t,” He whispered. “Make him waste his money.”She nodded, though her face was pale.“And it is sold to this gentleman over at the VIP section to twenty thousand gold coins!” The Auctioneer announced. “The next item is this dagger…”“Igna,” Caille hissed. “Try to buy the dagger for some low amount.”

“No.” The Prince stated, folding his arms. “I will not forge you any old piece of armour.”Kyle rolled his eyes. There it was – that dwarven pride.“But you yourself said you don’t have the heart of the forge!” He protested, despite knowing it was in vain. “You realise what sort of a dilemma this is, right?”The dwarven prince raised his chin. “Get me the heart, and I will craft you the most powerful piece of armour you’ve ever seen!” He declared.Kyle pressed his palm against his forehead. “… Where do I find it?” He finally asked, giving up on trying to convince the goat-headed dwarven prince.“Up north from the village, there are the vermillion mountains – an undead best resides in a pathway between two mountains. Beyond the path it guards, you will find old ruins of dwarven make. Within them rests the heart of the forge.” The Dwarven prince p
The Lich's Master Chapter 179: The Beast Felled Once More
Igna’s guildmembers proved to be more than happy to slay the undead drake a couple more times. As soon as Kyle dropped by their fortress to ask for that favour, they happily prepared to set out to help him.“So,” Caille looked at the Irena, who was silently watching the guildmembers systematically surround and attack the undead drake. “You’ve recovered fully then?”The Priestess of the Golden Flame nodded firmly. “Indeed. My apologies for not being able to stand my ground against that demon.” She added with distaste. She clenched her fists, probably remembering how quickly she’d perished, before even getting a chance to try and fight against the Demon of the Nightbloom.“None of us were able to.” Caille said with a shrug. “We didn’t really expect to come across someone quite as powerful.”Kyle nodded. “I’m surprised how quickly you recovered after I touched the Evertre

The eerie silence sent a shiver down Kyle’s spine as they opened the door fully and peaked inside. He pulled his scarf over his mouth and nose and watched as the others also did something similar with pieces of cloth.“Either there is a pile of dead bodies in there,” Luke whined, “Or there are a bunch of necromancers filling this place with necrotic energy.” He unsheathed his new, mithril blade, and took a deep breath. “Either way, let’s go.”Igna also unsheathed her blade, she then raised her hand, and whispered softly. “Flame, cleanse us.”A small ball of fire appeared in her palm, it then floated up into the air. “It’ll cleanse the necrotic energy around us. It’s not very strong, and my mana won’t last for more than fifteen minutes, so let’s hurry.” She explained.“Light,” Kyle said as he raised his hand as well. An orb of light appeared in his hand, bri

It was impossible to know where the sound had originated from in the first place. Thankfully, the sound did repeat itself every few seconds.“I don’t like this.” Kyle whispered as they followed the sound, slowly making their way towards it. The labyrinth like hallways were more than a little difficult to navigate, and Kyle couldn’t help but remember Droigheann’s illusion trick.“What is that noise anyways?” Luke asked as it grew louder. They were very near it – in fact, they had almost reached it. Or at least that’s what it sounded like.“It sounds like something metallic is hitting the floor.” Igna muttered. Kyle scowled, he crouched and pressed his palm against the floor. Sure enough, with every repeat of the same sound, he could feel the vibrations run through the ground.“Yeah.” He whispered quietly. “I don’t like this.” He added after a short moment of hesit
