Chapter 352: Lich vs Fish (1/2)

”!!!” Theo instinctively used his illusion so as to make them appear like a normal tree.

After that glance, the Zombie Lich furrowed its eyebrows before turning around.

”What's that?” Theo took a deep breath and asked Ava. ”I don't think there's a zombie that can see that far ahead, right? But why does… Wait, this hill doesn't have a single monster around them. Is this the Zombie Lich's work?”

Ava shook her head in confusion. ”Kyu.”

”I know, I know. You are like Alea, so I will do the thinking.” Theo let out a long sigh while peeking at the Zombie Lich and the other zombies. ”Anyway, I have downloaded all the monsters' information in my Monster Detector, so I'm going to take a look at the lich first.”

Name: Zombie Lich

Level: 251-255

A peak Rare Class monster. It is said that the zombie has enough wisdom to use at least five magic or skills. The zombie requires a thousand corpses to be sacrificed to make a perfect body to advance to a General Class monster.

It was the same description as earlier, but he wanted to look at the detailed explanation, so he tapped the lich's picture, which was the same as the one he saw just now.

Description: A former Necromancer that uses its own spell to prevent its own imminent death. It's bound by a restriction that forces the Necromancer to stay in one place until it completes the perfect body to roam around.

It's advised to fight the Necromancer during the day because their skills will be enhanced during the night. There are various types of Necromancer, such as Skeleton Necromancer, Zombie Necromancer, and Soul Necromancer, depending on the previous' life mastery.

”…” Theo narrowed his eyes and muttered, ”Doesn't this mean the Necromancer was a human? As he was about to die, he cast his own spell to resurrect himself?

”If that's the case, doesn't this mean I am facing a former human? It's not like I don't want to kill a human, but his skills… Does he still retain his skills? This is going to be troublesome if he can use all his former skills.” Theo then looked at the hill and its surrounding before coming to a realization.

”Wait… Don't tell me. The Zombie Lich has been clearing this entire place because he wants to invite humans to come since it's like an easy path? After killing them, the lich resurrected them to their current appearances.

”It's no wonder why they fight like humans. But doesn't this mean a human can become a monster too? This doesn't make sense.” Theo gritted his teeth and looked down, falling into deep thought. There were many questions in his mind, but no one could answer him.

He simply had no knowledge regarding this stuff, considering all the knowledge in his mind was mostly about fighting.

”This is the time I wish I had someone beside me. They can explain things to me.” Theo shook his head in disappointment. ”Or it's better if we can use Skynet here…”

”Kyu?!” Ava looked at Theo with a serious expression.

”We are going to kill that Lich. It is a Hero Rank Lich… Although it's quite powerful, I alone should be enough if we fight one on one. The problem is those zombies. If we can eliminate them first, I'm sure we can take the lich on. Hence, I'm going to make sure where that lich is resting before exterminating the rest of the zombies.”
