Chapter 497: Horde? Nah, An Army!

"A Lich?" Bismark mumbled.

"A kind of undead being with the power to control other undead-" Ashton began explaining in simple terms, momentarily forgetting about Bismark's age. 

"I know what a lich is," Bismark sighed while rubbing his chin. 

Before turning into an undead, he had lived on earth for more than a century. Only someone witless would think he wouldn't know what a lich was. Nevertheless, he suspected Ashton was simply trying to annoy him.

Bismark was shocked because, despite his ample age, he had never heard of someone raising a lich. Usually, there were only two ways by which a lich would appear. Either an undead was born as one, or they accidentally evolved into one. 

However, even the mentioned conditions were natural, and even the undead from Nirvana had had no success in artificially creating a lich. Yet Ashton boldly claimed he could turn him, an impure undead, into a lich?
