Chapter 1271 End of the Battle
Kanganas had won!
This much was evident from the skeletal dragon’s cry of despair and tragedy before its death.
After being surrounded and beaten down by the outsiders’ entire party, it had been struck a mighty blow from Greem. Even though Nax was far more powerful than the average Fourth Grade–so much so that it approached the realm of a Fifth Grade–it was still not a match for Kanganas. That was especially the case when Kanganas went all out with no regard for the losses he incurred. The swarm of undead the lich unleashed had simply devoured the skeletal dragon.
The liches were infamous monsters among all the monstrosities and terrors of the universe because of their shameless tactic of swarming enemies with their endless horde of undead. In addition, liches were naturally experts at toying with the soul. Death at their hands did not mean the end of suffering.
Quite the opposite. Death at the hands of a lich marked the start of a painful and arduous afterlife!
Liches would never waste the soul or body of their victims. They used every part of their victim to their full potential, turning them into one of their obedient undead servants. Such servants had no expiry date, nor freedom or dignity.
The mists in the air instantly froze into ice when the heart appeared, clattering to the ground as tiny, little shards. A bone-chilling cold spread in the air, causing the blood of any creature in the vicinity to freeze and their bodies to lock up.
“Nax’s heart!?” Greem gasped in surprise.
The massive heart encased in ice was still beating slightly, containing powerful and plentiful life force. The life aura it radiated was the exact same as Skeletal Dragon Nax.
“Kehkehkehe. Even I didn’t expect that dragon to have clung on to its living body so badly. To think it dug out its heart and sealed it in ice before it converted itself into an undead,” The lich’s jaws clattered as he spoke. “It seems like the dragon intended to find some way to restore its living body after its soul had been modified. But now…kehkehkehe, it belongs only to us!”
Greem weighed the heart in his hands and scanned its life energy with the Chip. He nodded in satisfaction and put the heart away into his Elder’s Ring.
At their level, ordinary equipment was no longer helpful in any manner. Low-grade equipment would barely be able to amplify their powers.
Moreover, powerful law powers would fill their bodies when they engaged in combat. Low-grade equipment would not even be able to bear the intensity of the flames containing law powers, let alone be used to attack the enemy. Inferior equipment would be reduced to ashes the moment Greem used any power at all.
As such, apart from high-grade equipment that matched their grade, using any other equipment would just be a waste.
This ice dragon’s heart was a decent Fourth Grade material no matter how you looked at it. It would certainly make for powerful equipment once it was processed, whether as proper magical equipment or a single-use tool.
Naturally, Greem accepted the lich’s ‘goodwill’ without any hesitation!
“How should we deal with this plane?” Greem lifted his head and looked at Kanganas.
“The ecology and planar environment of this world has been severely distorted by the Ancient Reliquary. It is very difficult to restore it to its former state. You can keep it for yourself if you are interested. I believe those three fellows won’t dare to fight you for it!” Kanganas gave his suggestion.
Having said that, he opened a small interdimensional portal.
Before he departed, he left one last message.
“I will keep my promise! I am returning to the Skeletal Plane to put things in order. It will take me two or three years. Once everything is settled, I will personally pay a visit to you. I will see you then!”
“As will I!”
White light flashed once Kanganas entered the portal, and the rift in space started to mend.
He was carrying such valuable treasure on him. It was only natural that he didn’t dare take his time traveling as he had in coming here. That was why he teleported back instantly, even at the cost of additional resources and energy. He did not want anything unexpected to happen on the journey back.
That alone demonstrated the cautiousness and intelligence of the liches!
