Chapter 720 - Ambush (End)
“Attack!”
Frederick couldn’t wait any longer. He raised his sword and charged forward. Serena and Bayer jumped out from their concealment with the remaining three soldiers and formed a row to stop the Lich from escaping.
The Lich was taken aback, but it swiftly pointed its finger forward and emitted a black ray of light at Frederick.
“Waa!”
Frederick shrieked in horror, but he swiftly rolled aside safely, struck his blade into the snow, and slashed upward.
“———!”
The fluttering snow blocked the Lich’s line of sight. Even though Frederick appeared as a careless person, he was actually experienced in battles. But, this was to be expected since he had led his men in the Northern mountain battles. However, he was too inexperienced in dealing with a Lich.
The Lich didn’t slow down. As an Undead Creature, it had a unique way of viewing this world unlike humans. Therefore, the snow didn’t affect it too much. It wasted no time and swung its arms to sweep the snow away. However, Bayer and the others had already surrounded it.
The Lich let out a snort. It clapped its hands and a black flare emerged before it. Thick billows of smoke burst out from the black flare and formed human shapes that held magic blades in their hands while their eyes emanated an ice-cold radiance. They looked as though human-shaped clouds wielding weapons and pouncing on everyone.
“It’s the Nightmare Warriors! They’re non-physical creatures! Don’t get too close to them! Attack the coalesced point in their foreheads!”
The Lich had no intentions of continuing this battle. It took a step back with the thoughts of fleeing.
But it wasn’t that simple anymore.
A golden, holy barrier in the shape of an arc emerged out of thin air and stopped the Lich from escaping. At that moment, Serena and Frederick saw a person approaching the Lich’s back. Orchid Heart casually rode her horse while holding onto the thick, black, hardcover book. Serena noticed that the pages were full of densely written words.
“…”
The Lich turned around and stared at Orchid Heart with menacing, scarlet eyes. Then, it raised its staff.
At the same time, Serena saw that Orchid Heart placed her right index finger on the page and spoke increasingly faster as though she was chanting. Several bone spears emerged above the Lich and shot toward Orchid Heart.
“Be careful!”
Serena and Frederick exclaimed in horror. They weren’t that powerful, so they empathized with Orchid Heart’s strength because she appeared to be an ordinary human without impressive magical powers, swordsmanships, and constitution. The chances of her surviving this attack were slim.
Suddenly, Orchid Heart pointed her index finger forward.
“———!”
The incoming bone spears shattered into dust and vanished entirely. Then, three bone shields emerged out of thin air and spun around her slowly.
What’s this situation?
Serena and Frederick were stunned.
