The Giant raised his bushy eyebrows. “You were looking for this place? Pray tell, whatever would a little human like you need from these old ruins?”
Kyle took a deep breath in an attempt to calm his racing heart. “The Heart of the Forge.” He stated. “I was told it was here. I didn’t think there would be anyone here, working the forge. I thought this place was abandoned.”The Giant slowly nodded. “Indeed, it is.” He straightened his back, and then leaned forward, inspecting whatever it he had been working on. “I am the only one here.”His voice was mellow. A deep sadness permeated it. How long had he been here, alone?“Why are you still here?” Kyle asked, unable to curb his curiosity. “Why not leave? Go somewhere with people?”The Giant turned his head to look at him. “I dream of the day I can set foot outside this forge, human, but I fear it will remain just that

The veil shattered almost immediately. Kyle exhaled as pain struck his body momentarily. He stumbled backwards as the Necronomicon drained him of his strength.A pair of armoured hands caught him by his shoulders. “It’s done, close it!” Droigheann hissed into his ears, springing the young summoner back into action. He bit his lips and closed the Necronomicon. As soon as the book closed, he felt his draining strength return. Well, some of it.“How did you get-““Hush!” Droigheann hissed, silencing the clearly confused Giant. “I must leave now, I will explain to you later.” He said as soon as Kyle put the Necronomicon away. The Demon vanished into the young man’s shadow, letting Kyle breathe properly again. As soon as he was gone, the drain on his vitality had also disappeared.He took a deep breath, then forced a smile. “How about we get the hell out of here before the necromancer notice
The Lich's Master Chapter 184: The Giant’s Vow
“Indeed,” Erdan-Sol’s voice boomed as he carried Kyle, walking towards the plateau with surprising speed. “We do have much to talk about, old friend.”Droigheann leaned his back against the giant’s fingers, and smirked. “How did you end up in there anyways? How could a puny necromancer get the better of you?” He asked with an amused tone.The Giant let out a sigh. His entire body shook with that sigh. Kyle gulped, sitting in the giant’s palm, he could only hope Droigheann wouldn’t annoy him too much. He didn’t want to get killed like this, not by being squished in a giant’s palm.“If only she was just a puny necromancer…” The giant shook his head. “She was powerful, old friend. Powerful, and clearly experienced in her ways. I always thought she was the one in possession of the Necronomicon.” Erdan-Sol’s gaze turned to Kyle. “Now that I k
The Lich's Master Chapter 185: Will You Allow It?
The path leading up to the plateau was right in front of them.“I don’t understand.” Kyle gritted his teeth. “You are so sure I’ll try and rule the world or something. All I want is to live here, and not be invaded by a rich brat and his friends!” He realised he was shouting after the fact.“Then you must learn to defend the land you have claimed,” The Giant’s advice rang empty in Kyle’s ears. He pressed his palm against his forehead. “I already explained it to you-““And I have told you – necromancy is never the answer.” Erdan-Sol cut him off. “I will not tolerate-““Enough!” Droigheann’s voice boomed. A wave of darkness spread forth from the Demon of the Darkbloom. He clenched his armoured fists. “Stop it, Erdan-Sol.” He hissed, his voice seething with anger.The Gaint paused, he looked at the demon with a confused expre
The Lich's Master Chapter 186: Rebuilding the Forge
“They sure work fast.” Droigheann whispered, leaning towards Kyle. The young summoner nodded. He had to agree, they’d been gone for less than a day, and already there was a new building upon the plateau.“This will not do!” The giant declared as soon as they entered the building, only to see a wide stairway leading down underground. “I can no fit through here!” He protested, clearly alarmed by the mere thought of not being able to enter the forge.“Don’t worry,” One of the dwarves tried to calm the giant down. Since he had less of an accent, it was much easier to understand him. “We’ll change the entrance.”Kyle let out a sigh. “So?” He asked, looking at the Demon of the Nightbloom. “What do you think?”Droigheann let out a sigh. “Well, he’s sure to be a powerful asset.” He smirked. “But that’s not what you asked, is it?&
The Lich's Master Chapter 187: The Demon’s Plan
Whatever warmth the dwarves’ words lit up in Kyle’s heart was immediately snuffed out by the Demon’s cold gaze.Kyle was about to get a change of clothes when the Demon of the Nightbloom appeared out of his shadow. Kyle immediately pulled his shirt back down as the Demon smirked.“What?!” He hissed, annoyed.Droigheann’s smirk vanished. “I think I know how to protect you from the Necronomicon’s drain.” His cold, calculating voice gave Kyle surprising confidence in the Demon’s abilities. He didn’t think the Demon of the Nightbloom was lying, nor did he believe he would take too big of a chance when it came to Kyle’s life.“How?” he asked as he fixed his clothes and sat down on the couch. The Demon didn’t sit, instead, he folded his arms and glared at Kyle. “There is an artefact that once belonged to the God of Light. It was used to protect the Temple from the demo
The Lich's Master Chapter 188: A Short Distraction
The road leading to the Temple of Light was often trodden. What used to be a dirt path snaking along the rocks and cliffs, then passing through the small forests around the grasslands had now become a stone paved road.Merchants travelled through here now, and as Kyle rode along the road, he came across many people, players and otherwise. Oddly enough though, there were no elves or dwarves, or any other species aside from humans.He couldn’t help but scowl. Why? The Elves didn’t have just a single grove – the group that had moved to the plateau along with Kyle were just one of the many groups of elves in this part of the world. And the same could be said for the dwarves. Sure, the group that left Prince Thornir and his new home in the Cloudrest Mountains to live with Kyle on his plateau was a large one, but it was hardly the only group of dwarves in this part of the world.“Odd,” He muttered mostly to himself. Mostly, because he was well
The Lich's Master Chapter 189: Returning to the Temple of Light
“So,” Droigheann turned to face Kyle as the last of the men died, leaving the road empty save for the summoner and the demon. “Care to tell me why they’re so fixated on you?”Kyle chuckled but his smile faded as he noticed the look on the Demon’s face. There was no wicked, or amused smile there, nor was the demon having fun. The dead serious look in his eyes, and his pale lips pressed together caused Kyle concern.“I killed their leader a few times.” He tried to explain. “He just kept falling into the pitfall traps I’d put up to repel undead and such.”Droigheann’s expression didn’t change. He continued glaring at Kyle.“I’m telling the truth!” He pressed in a hurry. Did Droigheann not believe him? “He decided I must be killed, that I’m a-“ He stopped himself. ‘I’m a boss’ wasn’t the best way to explain this to Droi
The Lich's Master Chapter 190: The Purifying Chain
As soon as the Demon finished his words, the crystal shattered. Kyle was quick to reach out and snatch the chain that was contained within, before it fell to the ground.Immediately, he felt the cold rush of power run through the chain, to his fingers, then up his arms. He shuddered, and clenched his fist before he dropped the chain.“Are you sure this is broken?”He hissed through his clenched teeth. “This seems very much functioning.” He shivered. It felt as if someone had doused him in ice cold water.Droigheann scowled. His brows furrowed, and he narrowed his eyes as the chain let out a soft, white glow. “Are you certain?” He asked with a wary voice. “That should not be possible. It’s not, I saw it break – shatter, with my own eyes.” His words seemed to be directed more towards himself, so Kyle didn’t respond.It was so, so cold. He gritted his teeth as the power of the chain washed
