Kyle stared at the Demon’s serious expression for a few seconds before breathing in. “And what in the world made you think that’s a good idea?” he shouted, flailing his arms around in an attempt to convey how ridiculous Droigheann’s suggestion was. “Go and ask? Who are you going to ask that to?”
Droigheann chuckled at the panicked young man. “You worry too much for things you do not need to worry about, human.” He said with an amused expression. His eyes glimmered as he grinned. “Most demons do not care about what happens in the material plane. The Abyssal Plane is more than enough for them. I am sure that piece of power has its price.”
Kyle bit his lips. Control over time itself. That was what was at stake here. How could a power like that have a price? By definition, it must be priceless! Or that’s what he believed in. He hesitated still, what if something happened to Droigheann? What if a fight

“IT IS AMAZING, KYLE!” Cacophus exclaimed as soon as the young summoner stepped into his study. “LOOK, THE SUN IS UP,” He pointed at the drawn shut curtains with his bony fingers. “YOU DID IT, DIDN’T YOU? YOU WENT SOMEWHERE WITH THAT ANGEL, YOU FIXED THE STORM CLOUDS, YOU MADE THE GREATER BEING LEAVE.”Kyle flinched. “Uh, no hang on.” He gestured the Lich to calm down. He was way too excited. Why? Had the Greater Being’s arrival scared him so much? Considering how he rushed to hide in the damp, dark catacombs below the plateau, Kyle didn’t have much trouble believing that.“I didn’t make the Greater Being leave.” He explained. “It was looking for something and left when it turned out it wasn’t here.”The green lights in the Lich’s eye sockets lit up with curiosity. “WHAT WAS IT LOOKING FOR?”Kyle shrugged. “I’m not sure.&rdqu
The Lich's Master Chapter 249: A Visit From Vis
Kyle paced around the cathedral, taking in the view. While he had been taking it for granted until now, he forced himself to look, to pay attention to his surroundings. Wildflowers surrounded the small, stone path circling the cathedral. Fruit trees dotted the landscape around it, providing some much needed shade, and the delicious fruits he ate for breakfast every day.A wry smile formed on his lips. He paused, and crouched by the largest, most vibrant patch of wildflowers. He gently touched some of their petals, feeling the texture.The flowers from Necron were even more vibrant than these. They were sturdier, not so fragile. They bloomed so much more, in a matter of hours for some of them. Their scent alone was enough to help him relax, to calm him down and allow him to clear his mind.These flowers on the other hand… They were beautiful, but fragile. They bloomed for a couple of days, then wilted.Was that why the residents of Necron created st

The room suddenly grew darker as Kyle’s shadow seemed to gain depth. Not a moment later, Droigheann, clad in his armour, appeared.His gaze fixed on Vis almost instantly. “What are you doing here, vampire?” He hissed. Vis smiled. “We were talking about stuff.” She said with a cheerful shrug. Droigheann quickly turned to look at Kyle. “Is that so?” He asked.Kyle chuckled and nodded. “No worries, Droigheann. How did it go?”The Demon of the Nightbloom took off his helmet, then smirked. “I think they’ll give it to us.” He said with a victorious smile.Kyle’s eyes shot wide open. “Seriously?!” He exclaimed. “That’s-““What’s the catch then?” Vis asked with a flat voice. “I’ve known demons, they wouldn’t just let you have it.” She added.Droigheann chuckled. “The catch is that they want to me
The Lich's Master Chapter 251: Demonic Arrival
Vis and Droigheann had completely transformed the Grand Hall of the Cathedral. The once holy – looking hall was now a summoning ground for the Demon Lord. Or Lords, depending on how many of them decided to come from the Abyssal Plane.There was a large pentagram drawn on the ground. The pews that once decorated the hall had been taken outside, put up against the wall in the hallway.The pentagram was drawn with blood, some taken from Kyle, some from Vis.“We both must remain in the room,” The vampire explained as she finished drawing the pentagram. “This will contain them within this circle,” She pointed at a larger circle. Most of the Grand Hall was within this circle, with only the entrances and the altar remaining out of it. “But only for as long as we stay within it as well.” A grim smile formed on her lips.“That’s… better than nothing, I guess.” Kyle muttered. “Thanks, Vis.&rdq
The Lich's Master Chapter 252: The Demon Lords
From the sea of blood, three figures rose.The one nearest to Kyle was a woman. Her white hair and eyes were quite a contrast to her crimson skin covered in black veins. The pair of demonic wings on her back stretched as she opened her eyes. Terrifyingly beautiful, Kyle thought as he noticed her sharp fangs, and claw like hands. A long tail swung from one side to the next as she raised her chin.The other two were identical to one another. Both of them had dark grey skin, and a pair of wings on their backs. They both wore armour made from the scales of something. Perhaps a dragon, the young man thought. Although they seemed much more dangerous with their hostile gazes, and the pair of horns on their heads, the woman terrified him so, so much more.“Welcome, Lady of the Pit.” Droigheann’s voice sounded. “And young lords as well.” He respectfully bowed his head.The Demon of the Nightbloom circled around them and took his place
The Lich's Master Chapter 253: First Half of the Hourglass
If looks could kill, the Lady of the Pit’s glare would have offed everyone in the room. Kyle gulped, staying calm and collected was growing increasingly more difficult.“Then your pest will remain, and you will have to deal with it yourself, Ruler of the Pit.” Azazel’s calm and collected voice was oddly soothing. It helped Kyle remain calm while startling the Lady of the Pit. “But if you could deal with it, you would have done so yourself ages ago. You are not one to allow a pest to exist because you simply didn’t feel like dealing with it.” The edges of Azazel’s lips curled up ever so slightly. “You may decide not to give me the half of the hourglass, but then the pest remains as well.”The Lady of the pit clenched her claw-like hands. “Yet despite claiming you will offer assistance, you refuse to enter a blood oath!” She hissed. “Is that not hypocrisy, Fallen Angel?”Azazel laughed out loud. “Binding myself to a Demon’s whim would be more so, don’t you think?”“If you already intend

Kyle rubbed his chest, where the blood oath hurt him. He wasn’t paying much attention to the bickering of Droigheann, Vis, and Azazel. They had been at it for nearly twenty minutes, and it didn’t seem like they were going to calm down anytime soon.He sat on the ground and leaned his back against the large marble altar. The stinging in his chest had ceased, but now he felt somewhat exhausted. Not because of whatever that Blood Oath was, but because the relief of having gotten the hourglass. They were halfway done already.“Listen to me, Demon!” Azazel hissed, his wings half open. “I already told you once, and I will tell you again. I do not intend to let the mortal die. So drop this already!”“I still can’t believe you’d have him enter a blood oath.” Vis’ voice sounded. The vampire was standing next to the pillar she’d been hiding behind. “And such a dangerous one too, what if this pest turns out to be something more dangerous than he can deal with?”Kyle pressed his palm against his
The Lich's Master Chapter 255: A Monumental Task
“I feel dizzy just listening to that.” Kyle grumbled as the group of four walked down the hall. “Are you sure it’s doable?”Azazel shrugged. “It should be. You did somehow manage to break me out of there. Now there will be two of us.” He smirked.“Don’t even remind me of that nightmare.” Kyle muttered, massaging his temples. He’d rather forget all that instead. But of course, Azazel didn’t seem to be willing to let him.“Either way, since you’ve somehow managed to go that far, I am sure we’ll be able to reach the precipice.” He paused. “Probably.” He added after a split second of silence.“Yeah, thanks.” Kyle grumbled. “That was very reassuring. How the hell are we going to get to the Celestial Plane anyways?”“How did you get to it the last time?” Vis asked, her eyes glimmering with curiosity.&ldqu

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

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.

“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

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
