Kyle let out a sigh. “Why are you still here anyways?” He asked, annoyed. He had hoped Vis would also leave along with the others, but the ancient vampire seemed to like this place a tad bit too much.
“A prime viewing of a battle was promised to me,” She said with an innocent smile. “I wouldn’t dare miss it.” She pointed at the still surface of the pond. “They’ll reach the camp soon.”
Kyle gulped. She wasn’t wrong. Droigheann had promised Kyle would be able to watch the battle, and he had cast a spell on this pond. A spell to let one of Cacophus’ skeletal birds to act as Kyle’s eyes.
As the sun began to set, the surface of the pond rippled. A few moments passed before an image slowly formed on the water&rs

The water of the pond was icy cold, and it was still filled with Droigheann’s mana. The dark strands of demonic magic enveloped him as soon as he fell into the water. His body grew numb for a short moment, and his vision blurred and darkened.He looked around in a panic as he tried to tell up from down. Which way was he supposed to swim?!He breathed out a few bubbles full of air. They moved towards his left hand! He quickly followed them, and soon reached the surface. As soon as his head broke the surface of the water, a shout reached his ears.“No, no don’t!” A man’s scream echoed, followed by a snap, and a crack.‘Player Killed’ Kyle’s gaze snapped to the source of the screams, only to see Vis standing next to the now dead body of a player as it disintegrated.“Filthy bastards.” Vis hissed. She let go of her oddly red whip, and it immediately liquified, and flow
The Lich's Master Chapter 226: White
Kyle locked his door, then walked around his room, checking every nook and cranny. As he looked under the bed and found nothing but a paid of boots he had kicked down there, he breathed a sigh of relief.The young man finally let himself relax. He changed into comfortable pyjamas, then crawled into the bed. He then held his breath for a good five seconds, and only when he made sure there was no one but him in the room did he breathe a sigh of relief and pulled the blanket to his chin.Droigheann had to practically drag Vis out of Kyle’s room. Irena had then taken her to a room she could call her own. Kyle was still hoping that she’s grow bored of this place and go back to her home. Maybe she would be gone when he woke up.With little hope in his heart, he closed his eyes, and let his consciousness drift away.Come morning, the chirping birds woke him up. After his usual morning routine of breakfast and getting dressed, Kyle heade

Luke narrowed his eyes a little. He glared at Kyle for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to Igna. “Igna, why don’t you check out the potions I mentioned to you?”Igna’s eyes shot wide open. “Oh, yeah!” She exclaimed. “Kyle! Do you mind if I check them out myself?”Kyle shook his head. “Not at all, they’re in the tower.” He pointed at the tower next to the courtyard. “Check the box next to the door.”“Alright, I’ll be right back then!” Igna’s voice was filled with excitement. She hurried inside without waiting for a response. Once the wooden door closed behind her, Luke scowled. He folded his arms and glared at Kyle again.“Why don’t you try explaining that hair of yours again?” He suggested. “Tell the truth this time, though.” He added.Kyle flinched. Was his lie so obvious? “Is it that unbelievable?” He
The Lich's Master Chapter 228: Not Enough Time
The Paladin glared at Kyle. “Well?”The young summoner let out a tired sigh. “Do I really need to explain why I haven’t slept well?” he asked, rolling his eyes. “It’s just bad dreams, nothing more.”It was the next day, and Luke had dropped by again to take some of the healing potions to the auction.“Yes, you do need to explain.” Luke said with a serious tone. “Now explain. Caille says dreams are nothing to be ignored.”Kyle let out a sigh. “You seriously do worry too much.” He whined.“So what? Explain.” The Paladin simply wouldn’t budge.Kyle shook his head. “It’s just a dream about the damn angel.” He threw his hands in the air, then explained the dream he’d seen briefly. “This isn’t something to worry about, it’s Rhealis’ dreams that I worry about.”Luke scowled. “I don&
The Lich's Master Chapter 229: Harsh Words
“Shards of Light!” Kyle’s voice rose as their enemy moved slowly. Five shards of crystallised light formed at the tip of his fingers, then darted towards the large creature.The shards easily hit the rock body of the elemental, not even causing it to flinch. It didn’t even seem to be aware of Kyle’s attack – it just creeped closer, slowly, but persistently.Kyle bit his lips. The shards exploded not a moment after hitting the creature. This time, it paused as pieces of rock rolled off of its body.“It will take you ages to kill this thing.” Droigheann commented. The Demon of the Nightbloom sat upon a large rock, watching Kyle’s struggle with an amused look on his face. His lips were curled up somewhat, and his eyes glimmered with the fun he was having.“Come and do it yourself then.” Kyle snapped. “I’m a mage – I can’t just go and smash the damn thing t
The Lich's Master Chapter 230: Arduous Training
Kyle ran up the steep hill, towards the Demon of the Nightbloom. Droigheann was seated on a large rock. He watched Kyle with an amused expression as the young summoner reached the rock, exhausted and out of breath.“Good job.” The Demon’s lips curled up with amusement. “Though you’re certainly exhausted.”Kyle nodded as he tried to calm his racing heart. He leaned against the rock for support as he panted.“Drink some water.” The Demon suggested. “Then rest for half an hour. After that, you’ll fight a few more rock elementals.” He pointed northwards, where two rock elementals were ever so slowly creeping closer.Kyle ignored the elementals and grabbed a bottle of water from his inventory. Drinking the icy cold water washed away some of his exhaustion. He forced himself to take deep breaths afterwards. His chest still hurt, and his lungs felt like someone had lit a fire within.
The Lich's Master Chapter 231: A Lair of Elementals
“I’m going to check the surroundings.” Droigheann declared as he stood up. “Don’t wander away.”Kyle laughed. “Like I’ve got the strength left to do that.”Droigheann left, and Kyle lay on the ground, ready to sleep. He had lost count of how many elementals he had killed today. At first, he felt a little bad for coming here to kill them, but then Droigheann had explained how elemental creature were formed.They were beings created to be servants to powerful mages. But they had no real consciousness, they couldn’t understand spoken words, nor could they be communicated with in any other way. Telepathy apparently didn’t work, nor did any type of sign language that some mages had tried.They did usually have instinctive behaviours, though the miasma that infected them had clearly destroyed whatever was left of that as well.They needed to find the source of the miasma and destroy it if
The Lich's Master Chapter 232: Behind the Cliff Wall
Staring at the crack in the cliff wall, Kyle couldn’t help but shudder.There was nothing that didn’t scream ‘cave with monster’ about it. First of all, the grass in front of the entrance had a yellowish hue to it, it looked sickly, and it was clearly half dead already.Then, there was the stench coming out of the crack. It was so strong and awful that even from so far away, Kyle could smell it. He covered his nose and mouth, then took a couple of steps back.“Definitely inhabited by a demon.” Droigheann spoke up. He had a distasteful expression, his lips were curled down, his eyes narrowed. “A nasty one at that.” He added as he stepped towards the crack. “Come on, let’s head inside. There is no point in wasting time.”Kyle gulped, then took off his scarf and wrapped it around his mouth and nose before following Droigheann. He wanted to breathe in as little of the miasma as possible.

The serene white light changed as soon as they stepped into the garden. It grew brighter, lighting up even the darkest corners of the garden. “Finally.” Azazel whispered. He calmly stepped towards the bright white light. “It’s been so long.” He and the rest of the group arrived before the tree. The Fallen Angel reached for the tree, only for his fingers to touch a barrier surrounding it. The yellow-brown barrier rippled as soon as the Fallen Angel’s fingertips touched it. Azazel flinched, and pulled his hand back as a look of disgust appeared on his face. With furrowed brows and blazing eyes, he turned around, and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Show yourself, Demon!” Droigheann flinched. “He’s here?!” The Demon of the Nightbloom asked wide eyed as he unsheathed his blade, and put his helmet on without hesitation. Luke stepped forward, making sure to stand in front of Caille and Kyle. Igna tightened her grip on the hilt of her blade, while Cacophus’s bony fingers rummaged through

Chapter 276: The Ancient City of Necron (4)
The fully armoured knight dropped his sword and tried to grab the slimy goo with both of his hands. The goo only latched onto his helmet further as he struggled. The man started to stumble a few moments later.Kyle couldn’t help but laugh a little, though his near brush against death kept him from enjoying Jeffrey’s suffering. The knight soon managed to grab onto the goo properly, and threw it away, only to be met with Kyle’s light magic.“Bolt of Light!” The young man shouted, then as the Knight raised his hand to cover his eyes from the bright golden light, he dashed towards him, blade in hand. He hadn’t used a sword properly in ages, not since he’d gotten his Summoner class, and started summoning powerful people such as Aoris, or Irena. But Aoris and Irena were busy protecting the cathedral, and Droigheann had his hands full with the remaining group of enemies.And he had a particular hatred against Jeffrey and his constant stupidity. He grabbed the hilt of his blade with both his

“Oh for fuck’s sake.” Kyle rolled his eyes as the enemy charged at him and his allies. Jeffrey’s ridiculous accusations and ignorant behaviour was the last thing he needed at the moment.Droigheann unsheathed his blade and struck the ground with it. Black veins spread across the grey marble plaza, originating from his blade. They leapt off the ground, reaching for Jeffrey and his allies.“Fire storm!” A voice boomed. Kyle flinched as a whirling storm of flames burnt away the roots and veins. Droigheann gritted his teeth and removed his swords from the ground. “Damn mages,” The Demon grunted as he stepped forward. His helmet materialised in his hand, and he promptly put it on.“SHALL I DISPATCH OF THEM, KYLE?” Cacophus’ sudden question surprised him. “Yeah, please help Droigheann.” Kyle hissed as he pointed at the group. “We shouldn’t waste much time on them.”As he spoke, several shards of crystallised light formed at his fingertips. He fired them at the man leading the charge.“AS YO

Kyle took the first step down the grey marble staircase. As his feet touched the ancient slabs, he involuntarily flinched.Azazel and Droigheann followed just a step behind, along with Cacophus, who chose to float next to them.“AMAZING, IT HAS BEEN PRESERVED PERFECTLY!” The Lich exclaimed, pausing just a few steps in, and carefully inspecting the waist high walls preventing them from falling off the side. “LOOK AT THIS CRAFTMANSHIP!”Kyle shot a glance at the waist hight wall. It was covered in intricate carvings from top to bottom. Just a few meters of this wall must have taken weeks to create, if not more. “Yeah, it’s amazing.”“Just like the legends.” Droigheann carefully ran his finger along the carvings. “A city of ancient wonders, housing powers beyond imagination, made from the most beautiful materials by the best craftsmen ever to grace the face of this world.”“Seems about right.” Azazel pointed at the buildings. “Any one of these would have taken months to perfect, if not y

The Necronomicon’s pages turned on their own. Kyle waited patiently for the book to settle on a page. Once it did, he read through the spell. It was a modified dispel spell.“Stand back, just in case.” He said to the others. Everyone took a few steps back, even Cacophus who had just arrived. The Lich didn’t speak, but the green glows in his eye sockets glimmered and lit up brightly with excitement.Kyle’s lips curled up with a faint smile for a moment before he turned his gaze back to the Necronomicon. “Open thine gates, lift thine veil.” He recited the spell’s words clearly. “Allow me passage to what is rightfully mine, as I hold the Book of Ancient Secrets!”A moment passed before the spell fully took effect. The barrier around the Ancient City of Necron began to lower as Kyle felt his vitality drain with alarming speed. He looked down at the back of his hand with a panic as the few locks of dark hair dangling before his eyes slowly began to turn white.The mark of the Evertree glow

Chapter 272: The Records Restored
The elderly woman took the two pieces of the hourglass in her hand. A faint, almost mellow smile appeared on her lips as she closed her fingers around the pieces of the hourglass. “I am in your debt, Azazel, young man.” She whispered as she clenched her fingers further. The muffled sound of something cracking sounded. Then, a fine dust flowed from between her fingers. The cool breeze caught the dust, carrying it away from the patio. The elderly woman smiled. “No, come back.” Her voice was calm, almost as if she was speaking to an old friend. “I’m right here.” The wind whirled, suddenly changed its direction, and blew the dust right back at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. Kyle braced himself for… something. “It’s alright now.” Her motherly voice reached his ears. “It feels good to be whole again.” She turned her gaze towards the sky. “It is a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Kyle disagreed. Dark clouds covered the sky. “It is good to have you back, Record Keeper.” Azazel bowed his

Chapter 271: The Hourglass
It was a misty morning and getting out of bed felt like a huge chore. He still dragged himself out of bed, albeit slowly, and staggered towards the hot spring. He paused in front of the mirror for a second. The bite marks on his neck were awfully visible. Vis had definitely taken some of her frustrations out of him last night.He let out a sigh and went to take a bath. She was rightfully upset, and he didn’t care about how he looked too much. He bathed, then got dressed and opened the door of his room, only to see Droigheann standing there, leaning against the wall.“I didn’t realise you’d come out.” Kyle said as he fixed his cloak and hair before the mirror.“You were asleep.” Droigheann explained with a faint smile. “You found the second half of the hourglass.” He stated with a hint of curiosity in his voice. Kyle nodded. “We did. We almost died for it too.” He shuddered. “I’m never going back to the Celestial Plane.”Droigheann laughed out loud. “That is indeed a good idea.” The De

His eyes shot wide open, and he stared at the grey ceiling above him. A couple of moths were walking in rough circles. One of them tried to fly, only to continuously hit the ceiling afterwards.He blinked a few times as he tried to figure out where he was.“You’re awake!” A panicked voice reached his ears. “Rhealis, they’re back!” It took him a moment to recognise Vis’ voice. A cold hand pressed against his forehead as he slowly began to notice the numbness around his right arm. There was a mild pain too.Footsteps approached as Kyle tilted his head to look at Vis. “Did something happen while we were gone?” He asked with a crusty voice. He licked his dry lips. He could use some water right now.“Your arm got charred!” Vis hissed wide eyed. Was she angry? “And the Fallen Angel’s wings started bleeding!”“Indeed,” Rhealis approached them with a glass of water in her hand. She helped Kyle sit upright, then gave him the glass. He drank it without hesitation. The water passing through his

Azazel led him through the distorted landscape in a hurry. “They can’t see as well here.” The Fallen Angel explained as soon as they walked through a cathedral door and fell upwards. Kyle hit the ceiling with a muffled thud. A thick, soft carpet had broken his fall.He moaned with pain still. Constantly falling somewhere was slowly taking its toll on him. His back couldn’t take many more falls. “Why?” He asked as he sat upright and rubbed his sides.Azazel flew up and closed the cathedral’s door. “Because of the distortions. They don’t see things as you do. They see what something is, can be, and was.” The Fallen Angel hesitated upon seeing Kyle’s confused expression. “You don’t understand, do you?”Kyle shook his head. “Nope.”Azazel’s shoulders dropped with disappointment. “When you see something,” The Angel said, speaking slower th
