426 Substitute Clone (1/2)

”Sir Barton, I think you misunderstood, it's definitely a misunderstanding…” Weiss walked out of the group, ”We didn't break in here on purpose, and we will definitely not disturb His Highness Baiers' eternal rest…”

If he could, Weiss would rather be besieged by an army of Skeleton Warriors than face a single Lich.

No one knew how frightening a Lich was more than him.

Back then, he was only a newly advanced Archmage. During a campaign in the Dark Azure Plane, he met a Lich. It was very hard for an undead to be formed in the Dark Azure Plane, yet he encountered a powerful Lich.

The Lich's accurate casting, mana control and cooldown calculation all remained fresh in Weiss' mind. Moreover, that was only a several hundred years old Lich, it couldn't compare to Barton who had existed for several millenniums.

Even at his peak, he could only flee in defeat when faced by such a frightening existence.

Moreover, they had no plan to disturb Baiers, they only wanted to find the Teleportation Array to the next level so they could immediately leave this magic tower...

Thus he gave an explanation and called the Lich politely ”Sir Barton”.

”Oh?”

The two flickering phosphorus fires in the Lich's eye sockets slightly throbbed as he eerily looked at Weiss before issuing a sharp and ear-piercing sneer, ”Humans are too naive…”

”You… Sir Barton, what do you mean?”

Weiss' expression greatly changed, beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead. He had a bad premonition when the Lich finished his words. He truly lacked confidence when facing this Lich close to level 37.

”This is His Highness Baiers' country, it has been millennia since humans came in. You are the first batch of humans that came, and also the first batch of humans that will be buried alongside His Highness Baiers…” There was no trace of any mood fluctuation in the Lich's voice, the bone staff suddenly shook and burst with a white light, firing off undead magic in a flash.

At the same time, a few Ice Walls appeared in front of everyone, followed by cracking sounds. Lin Yun had a grave expression, he opened his eyes and glanced at Weiss, ”Talking nonsense with it is useless, the only way to leave this place safe and sound is to kill it…”

After saying that, Lin Yun didn't wait for Weiss' reaction before casting Fire Elemental Incarnation and turning into a flash, dashing over at top speed while waving his Doom Staff, emitting mana fluctuations and a burst of light.

A Meteor Rain emitting extreme heat appeared in the sky above the Lich as one ball of fire after the other fell down and flooded the Lich.

This was Lin Yun making use of the highest fire spell he could use as a 5th Rank High Mage, Meteor Rain. It was extremely destructive and covered that small area. The space also seemed to distort from the heat, and the originally pitch-black soil was burnt down in a few seconds, the black mist also evaporated...

Lin Yun clearly understood that Barton and Lagulin had inevitably been influenced by Baiers and had turned into undeads. This was very similar to Prince Barov's tomb.

”Ah!”

The Lich let out a miserable shriek as he was caught off guard. He was hit by the countless burning balls of fire, but it wasn't enough to really harm him, he only had some blazing wounds on his body and some black marks.

The skeleton of this Lich who lived for several hundred years was extremely durable, and death power had greatly reinforced his defensive abilities. Newly advanced Archmages would find it very difficult to leave any mark on his body.

”Human, you angered me…”

Following the throbbing of Barton's phosphorus fire, the Lich let out a sinister roar and stared at the fiery silhouette. Although that person was wrapped in flames, Barton could still see that it was a shockingly young mage, moreover, that young mage made him feel intimidated. It was a feeling he hadn't felt in millennia. He only felt that from Sir Baiers...

Originally, with his casting speed and reaction speed, he could easily dodge a Meteor Rain, but he had clearly felt suppressed by an indescribable power, to the point that it was hard for him to display his power, and thus, ended up hit by the Meteor Rain.
