Chapter 1658 - 1656: You’re Not Good Enough (Looks Like It’s Going to Snow Again Today)
The earth trembles, the sky shudders.
For the adventurers of Blue Rose, their brains have completely short-circuited at this moment.
The battle in front of them has already surpassed their imagination, with the Lich flying in the air, the Angels raising their greatswords and charging forward, the Dragons spewing flames, driving thick metallic mist towards their foes. The Fire Element Elder roars to break through the sky, raising its mighty hand to strike forward.
And under their siege, the Lich is obviously caught unprepared.
Because Fang Zheng had eliminated its surveillance spell, the Lich had no idea what was happening. It judged only from previous intel, assuming the opponent had just a few adventurers and believed it would be no problem to handle them.
But it could never have imagined, when it flew out, it was facing an army!
At this moment, however, the Lich no longer cared!
"Transcendent Magic! Skyfall!"
While shouting, the Lich pulled out a small clock-shaped hourglass from its bosom and crushed it fiercely! Soon, a complex magic circle unfolded centered on the Lich, exploding in all directions. Subsequently, terrifying magical power gathered, burst, and surged down at that moment!
"Boom!!!"
The Angels who rushed up first were almost instantaneously engulfed by magic, the Metal Dragon let out a howl and flapped its wings in retreat, while the Fire Element Elder angrily raised a palm, barely withstanding the terrifying impact descending from above.
"Transcendent Magic... How is it possible?"
Seeing this, the Blue Rose spectators were even more shocked, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Although there are indeed people in this world who can wield powerful Transcendent Magic, such magic usually requires chanting and preparation time. Yet, this Lich could release such powerful magic instantly?
"The power’s not much different from a Dragon Break Slash."
Compared to the adventurers of Blue Rose, Fang Zheng appeared more bored. He yawned and then made a gesture.
Soon, under the magical bindings, the summoned Elemental Creatures charged at the Lich once again.
"Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: Critical Landmines!"
Facing the approaching Fire Element Elder, the Lich suddenly reached out its hand, and then a series of fire lights abruptly appeared in the previously empty void, with the Fire Element Elder letting out a painful roar amidst the chain explosions and momentarily halting its movements.
"Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: Gravity Vortex!"
However, the Lich clearly did not intend to spare this opportunity. It raised its hand again, a pitch-black swirling energy struck out violently at the Fire Element Elder’s chest. In an instant, the pitch-black energy expanded and rotated, swallowing the Fire Element Elder completely.
Meanwhile, the Metal Dragon arrived behind the Lich, swinging a claw down!
"Useless, Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: Rib Bindings!"
Accompanied by the Lich’s roar, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless sharp white bones stretched out, stabbing towards the Metal Dragon.
At this moment, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"High-Level Dispel Magic."
"Splash!"
A light beam shot from Fang Zheng’s fingertips, hitting the bones, and soon the cage of bones shattered instantly before it was completed. Meanwhile, the Metal Dragon let out a roar, slapped the Lich like an insect, sending it flying to the ground.
"Boom!!"
Kicked to the ground, the Lich had no time to think, raising its hands again.
"Ultimate Magic Boost: Thousand Bone Spears!"
"Hooah... Anti-Magic Barrier."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers once more, casting an Anti-Magic Barrier for the Metal Dragon, and soon the flying bone spears vanished before the Metal Dragon, and it took a deep breath.
"———————!!!"
Next, Dragon Breath blasted out, enveloping the area along with the Lich and the forest.
Yet, amidst the breath, the Lich’s voice echoed again.
"Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: Immediate Severance!"
A flash of light.
The Metal Dragon’s Dragon Breath abruptly stopped, replaced by a painful wail; looking up, a bloody scar suddenly appeared on its chest, blood spurting out as it hurriedly retreated, shaking as its massive body collapsed to the ground.
"Healing Technique!"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng casually cast a Healing Technique on the Metal Dragon and sent it away.
"Really unexpected, there’s even Spatial Magic? Seems stronger than a typical Lich."
Fang Zheng squinted at the scorched earth post Dragon Breath, letting out a light hum, while the Lich slowly emerged. It raised its Golden Staff in hand, staring at Fang Zheng.
"Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: Thunderbolt Annihilation!"
"Boom!!!"
Shining lightning descended from the sky, striking towards Fang Zheng. Yet before this lightning could hit him, it quietly vanished into thin air.
"Triple Ultimate Magic Boost: True Darkness!"
Pitch-black energy surged from the ground, enveloping Fang Zheng; nevertheless, he remained standing, leaning on his Greatsword, even yawning out of boredom. The enveloping energy filled with pitch black and Power of Death seemed to have no impact on him whatsoever.
What on earth is happening?
Seeing this, even the Lich was internally alarmed. It had continuously utilized High-Tier Magic, which should be unavoidable, implying all magic should’ve hit the target. But why, why did this man show no reaction?
Then, how about this move?
"Release High-Tier Magic Sealing!"
Thinking of this, the Lich raised its hand once more, and swiftly accompanying its actions, three red magic arrays expanded around the Lich, and golden blades shot out from them, aiming at Fang Zheng.
"Rainbow Magic Wall!"
A Protective Barrier shimmering with rainbow colors instantly unfolded, blocking the Lich’s renewed attack.
Since that’s the case......
Seeing this, a red light flickered in the Lich’s eyes.
"Special Skill. The goal of all life is death!"
As the Lich finished speaking, a golden clock suddenly appeared behind it.
"Whoa, what’s this thing?"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but be stunned.
You, a Lich, copying Chronos? If Kurumi saw this, she wouldn’t let you off!
Although magic seemed ineffective, special skills, on the other hand......!
Thinking of this, the Lich raised its hand again.
"Magic Boost. Crimson Supernova!"
"Magic Boost. Skeleton Wall!"
Soon, a pillar of fire rose again, enveloping Fang Zheng, while a sturdy skeleton barrier stood in front of him.
"Is this all you’ve got?"
Engulfed by flames, Fang Zheng was unconcerned; on the contrary, he merely waved his hand lightly, and in the next moment, the flames and skeleton barrier shattered.
But just as the skeleton barrier shattered, Fang Zheng saw that the Lich, at some unknown time, was standing just behind it, merely a dozen meters away from him.
"Solar Flame Burst!"
However, in the face of this scene, Fang Zheng didn’t hesitate to unleash magic. Soon, a beam of positive energy descended from the sky, enveloping the Lich within.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
Under the impact of the positive energy, the Lich let out a cry of agony, collapsing to the ground, looking as if it was on the brink of death.
In fact, when the energy storm subsided, the Lich had completely fallen to the ground, motionless.
"Is it over?"
"No!"
However, as Fang Zheng asked with a mocking tone, the Lich suddenly lifted its head.
"It’s you who’s finished!"
At the same time, the hands of the clock behind the Lich moved to the final position.
"Die!"
Facing the Lich’s crazed shout, Fang Zheng merely raised a finger.
"Maze Magic."
"Click."
The moment the clock hands aligned behind the Lich, it suddenly vanished from Fang Zheng’s sight, dispelled by a magical beam.
"I forgot to tell you, before a Prophet Mage, there are no secrets."
"Whew-----!"
Just as Fang Zheng’s words fell, the Lich reappeared right in front of him.
"Back so soon? Didn’t expect that trick could even kill the maze, hmm.... seems like banishing you to another space was the right choice, so...... let it end now."
"It’s not over yet! Not yet!"
Roaring angrily, the Lich raised its magic wand. But at this moment, Fang Zheng raised his hand as well.
"Grand Disintegration Spell."
"----------!"
It was a gentle breeze.
A soft, emerald green breeze, seemingly without any killing intent, gently brushed against the Lich’s body. Yet, at the instant it was touched by the breeze, the Lich’s golden staff shattered in response, and all its magical effects vanished. Its robe, its equipment, everything was destroyed within this breeze.
"How could...... everything......"
Staring dumbfounded at the scene, the Lich didn’t know what to say, and at that moment, its body trembled violently.
"Splash!!"
A pitch black greatsword pierced through the red gemstone at the Lich’s core, nailing it firmly to the ground.
"I told you, this is the end, Lich."
Flames erupted, accompanied by Fang Zheng’s voice, engulfing the Lich.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
The flames relentlessly seared the Lich’s body and soul, burning and transforming them, the searing pain eliciting a wretched scream from the Lich. It raised its hand, gazing towards the sky.
No, I don’t want to die yet, I don’t want to die! Why? Why must I......
However, its thoughts ended there.
Within the flames, the Lich’s bones turned pitch black, shattered, transforming into black ash, which drifted upwards with the heat of the flames, disappearing into the sky.
"Alright then."
Not until the Lich on the ground completely disappeared, leaving only a pile of pitch black ashes, did Fang Zheng finally draw the greatsword, whistle, then turn his head, signaling to the distant Blue Rose members.
"Mission accomplished, let’s head home."
