The figure was wearing a cloak that covered his entire body except for the face part and he was holding a magic staff with a purple-colored crystal stone that was emitting dark energy.
Then, as the figure looked up looking at the battle in front of him. Look at the real face, or it can be said not the face because it is a white skull.
And in the part of his eye sockets there was a purple light that was the same as the new crystal in his magic staff.
The figure was undoubtedly Lich, a magician who used dark magic to the extreme.
"!!" Julian stopped his actions and looked towards the front as he sensed the terrifying dark energy.
"Lich!!!" Julian screamed because he immediately knew what kind of creature he was seeing.
"What!?" everyone who heard Julian's shout immediately followed the direction of his gaze and they also saw Lich up ahead there.
...----------------...
Lich is also a type of Undead, she was once a human who was usually a witch of the dark element who wanted eternal life through sacrifice or ritual.
However, the sacrifices or rituals used are taboo. Because it uses humans or other living things except monsters and animals to be sacrificed.
The victim would be absorbed by his blood and soul using a forbidden magic. The witch who will become the Lich must drink the blood of the victims.
They are also good at putting the souls of the victims into their bodies. The process will be very painful because it is related to the soul, but they do not care about it as long as they get eternal life.
That was the reason why the Lich was a skeleton because their bodies had already been eaten by time and only their souls remained.
...----------------...
Julian defeats the last Undead wolf and transforms into a human again and approaches Raff.
"Count Raff, what are Lich's weaknesses besides fire and light element magic?" ask Julian.
Raff nodded and said, "Nothing but those two things. But, there are two different types of Lich. First, the Lich has only two weaknesses: fire and light element magic."
"Second, the Lich who has one weakness is a container to hold his soul. So, even though we destroyed Lich's body with elemental magic, she was able to come back to life because her soul was still there."
"So, hopefully the Lich in front of us is the first Lich. Appraisal." Julian's using appraisal towards the Lich.
[ The Lich
HP: 100%
MP :100%
strength level: 4
level where 8 ]
"Level mana 8, it looks like this fight will be a little difficult," Julian said.
As they were talking a lot, Lich raised the magic staff and knocked it down. Then, countless human Undead appeared from under the sand.
"You all take care of the Undead! Let me fight the Lich!" shouts Julian.
"Master! That's too dangerous!" Claire said in a disapproving tone.
Raff nodded and said, "That's right, it's too dangerous for Master to fight Lich alone."
"I know, but if you go, you'll be burdening me because this fight is on a different level" Julian said.
Then he added, "So take care of the Undead called by Lich. Hand the Lich over to me."
Then without waiting for an answer from them, Julian was already running towards the Lich while transforming into a hybrid mode.
"Since my opponent cannot be defeated using physical attacks, then I must use magic. This will be the first time I have fought magic seriously," Julian said.
Julian stood still for a while, he would use a large area fire magic to weaken the Lich. He began to imagine the hot temperature in the city where he was on earth.
After a few seconds, he remembered. He began to gather a great deal of mana in his body for this magic spell.
The air around Julian began to heat up, even the cold air of the desert was inferior to this emerging hot air.
"Heatwaves." Julian took one step forward then the surrounding air grew hotter.
Even the non-flammable sands are now starting to give rise to fire because of the hot air that has this unreasonable temperature.
"For the size of a mortal, you're pretty good." Lich suddenly spoke to Julian.
"Hm, interesting man. Would you like to cooperate with me in the service of Demon King Boldax?" instead of getting angry, Lich offered Julian cooperation.
"I refuse. I don't want to be under someone's control, let alone him being a demon," Julian repelled in a stern tone.
"Why? You can gain more power than you can now" asked Lich.
"It's true, but am I the one who will throw away pride and dignity for the sake of a force?" Julian grinning.
"Instead, this power was granted by the Supreme God Grandfather. How could the damn Demon King possibly be stronger compared to the Supreme God, "his inner self.
"Ho? It seems like you are not the same person, you rarely see a human like you" Lich said in a slightly surprised tone.
Julian smiled and said, "Haha, thank you for the compliment."
"Well, there's no point in continuing this conversation. Let's see, who's gonna die first, am I or are you?" Lich swung her magic staff.
"Dark Hand." The lich raises many hands of darkness from under the sand.
"I learned to fight when I was in school, I think I can use it now." Julian made two swords from the fire element.
Then he slashed the hands of darkness that led to him with his two fire swords easily.
Julian ran very fast and he arrived in front of Lich. As he was about to slash Lich's neck with his fire sword, he felt a dangerous feeling.
Instinctively, he retreated to keep his distance from the Lich. Then he saw that the place where he stood had turned into darkness.
"Dark Matter" said Lich.
Dark Matter is a dark element magic that turns objects near them into darkness and if the object is a living thing, it will take the life of the object.
"A troublesome magic" said Julian.
"Thank you for the compliment" Lich chuckled.
"Together, even though it wasn't a compliment," Julian replied.
"Dark Ball." Lich swung her magic staff and launched countless balls of darkness.
Julian uses his five dinosaur senses to detect all the incoming globes of darkness. Then, he used both of his fire swords to slash the ball of darkness.
"As expected of the Lich. Even if it's weakened, the power still feels very strong" Julian said.
"Kukuku, how? Did you change your mind to join me?" ask Lich.
"No, thank you." Julian still rejected him firmly.
"It's a shame" said Lich.
Julian collected mana in his throat, then opened his mouth and then shot a ball of light towards Lich.
"Bone Wall." The Lich raises a wall from the bone to block Julian's light-ball shot.
"Well, I can't really use the light element. I lack imagination!" inner Julian.
"Hm, I'll look at you first. Fight my experimental creatures, I want to see how powerful they are against you" Lich said.
Lich raised her magic staff, then a purple magic circle appeared and scattered the dark energy in front of her.
A large hand emerged from the magic circle, then after a while, the actual form of the summoned creature Lich appeared.
The creature had a very absurd appearance. A humanoid appearance with a prominent bone on his chest.
Then there are many large and small bumps on his shoulders. His left hand is large and his right hand is small.
"Hows it? I haven't named this experimental creature, so let's call it by its real name, Ivan, for now" Lich said.
Julian knew that the creature in front of him was made with a human body as well as other materials that were certainly very taboo.
Although he was disgusted, but he did not feel many things because he did not care too much about the fate of people who became experimental materials.
It might sound cruel, but in a world where swords and magic are used, it is the person who has the power that can do everything.
Just like the law of the jungle where you have to be strong so as not to be knocked out. You have to kill if you don't want to be killed.
