Chapitre 48: Powerful Magic Battle

The Lich glanced over me and then looked at Zehe at my side.

With a low and trembling voice, the Lich spoke to Zehe.

"Z-Ze… Z-Zehe…"

As if woken up by the voice of this Lich, Zehe yelled at the Lich.

"Teacher! W-Why are you here?"

The Lich looked over the ground for a second and then glanced right into my eyes.

"I have come to fulfill the desires of my King and my Master. If you don't want yourself to be involved on this, run away as quickly as you can, and never met with me ever again"

After such a harsh response, Zehe seemed rather angry, and yelled at the Lich with grieving tears.

"B-But Teacher! I can't possibly leave her alone! T-This is family! I…"

After hearing Zehe answer, the Lich clenched its fists.

"Hngh… T-Then, you will die. With the rest of your family"

Zehe face seemed to crumble into desperation after such a harsh response.

"M-Master…"

I pated Zehe shoulder, and looked at her through her eyes.

"You're not alone, Zehe. Didn't I told you that I would find a way to make him join us?"

Zehe looked at me with her adorable puppy eyes, breathing heavily.

"Snif… Honey…"

"Trust on me. On all of us"

The Lich heard all of this but remained stoic.

"No matter what you try, nothing will probe useful against my willpower, demon. I shall serve my King and Master to my very death. If Zehe becomes an obstacle towards my mission, I shall kill her with my very hands"

"Tch… I know that what you saying is not true! I can already feel your aura and your soul. They are doubting, they are uneasy!"

"Hnngh… Silence, demon! Forbidden Space Magic: Interdimensional Cut!"

Without previous notice, the Lich flew towards the sky and chanted a powerful spell, covering his entire body on hundreds of magic circles.

"Here he comes! Get ready, Zehe, Rimuru, Nesiphae and Brontes!"

Thankfully, the rest of my servants retreated to heal their wounds and rest, so they wouldn't be catch on this mess.

Before the Lich could finish his chant, I activated all my buffs and reinforced my magic shield to his limits!

Fluosh!

"Die, demon!"

SLASH!

Suddenly, all the space surrounding us started to distort, confusing my senses.

"Is this Dimensional Cut? Uuagh!"

Without noticing I felt an incredible pain on my back!

An incredibly deep cut was across my entire back, leaking big amounts of blood.

My wives were surprised over the sneaky way that this magic worked.

"What is this magic? Its too weird! How can we predict it?! Uaagh!"

"Nesiphae!"

Suddenly, countless sharp cuts appeared over Nesiphae whole armor and tail.

Thankfully, Rimuru and Brontes were able to protect themselves, and the cuts didn't affect Zehe, somehow.

"He's not attacking Zehe after all, just as I thought…"

In mere seconds, Rimuru healed Nesiphae and my wounds.

I activated my Mystic Eyes skill and glanced over the entire sky.

The Lich seemed to have flown very high on the sky, and was activating countless spells.

"Advanced Fusion Magic: Triple Elemental Apocalypse!"

Suddenly, all the giant magic circles surrounding the Lich started to combine together, and formed a massive cloud, which started to rain countless meteorites of giant sizes, each one being infused in powerful elemental magic.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

I quickly constructed a spell using Anti-Magic Seal and Magic Solidification, creating something similar as Kekensha Light Shields, protecting us from the powerful meteor rain.

However, this type of magic was too strong, shattering my shields in mere seconds.

We used these shields to take on some hits and evade as much as we could.

The Lich looked at our maneuver withs scorn.

"Hmmph, not bad. But I shall do as my King and Master… desires… Nngh… Forbidden Shadow Magic: Summon High Eldritch Abomination!"

The Lich did not waste any time and flew across the skies, casting countless magic circles, from these circles, horrible octopus-like monsters started to emerge from them. They were quite strong and were able to use [Shadow Beam] and [Shadow Rain].

Brontes and Nesiphae dedicated themselves on killing these fiends, while I tried to catch the Lich.

I was accompanied by Rimuru and Zehe, Rimuru assisted me with healing magic and protection shields, while Zehe attacked nearby fiends.

I quickly summoned my Demon Great sword and sent it off to assist Brontes and Nesiphae.

Flash! Flash!

The Demon great sword flew at max speed, spinning like a tornado, slashing countless Shadow Fiends.

The Lich flew at an increasing speed, being hard to catch, while doing this, he chanted more spells.

"You are quite persistent…! Advanced Fusion Magic: Forbidden Space and Shadow Magic: Black Hole Storm!"

Suddenly, countless deep black spheres started to rain over the battlefield.

Flash! Flash!

I activated my new evolved Cursed Claws skill and started to summon more than 20, and sent them off, taking on the spheres for us.

Each time they touched one, a powerful suction force would absorb the Claws out of existence, leaving absolutely nothing left.

"That's a very dangerous magic! Rimuru, Zehe, shot projectiles at them! Don't let them get to Nesiphae and Brontes!"

"Guuu!"

"Y-Yes!"

Rimuru used her powerful magic to create countless solidified weapon shaped projectiles, shooting down the spheres and activating them in advance.

Zehe fused magic using Shadow and multiple elements, creating small bullets that did the job just right.

While I used my Cursed Claws to take on the rain, my split minds were analyzing the Lich movements, and at the same time, casting more Cursed Claws and maintaining my buffs active.

My split minds were quite fussy, but tried their best.

"Uugh! This skelly doesn't leave us any time to breathe!"

"Master! Are you hanging fine? I'm summoning as many Cursed Claws as possible, if you feel any mental fatigue, please let us know!"

"Fucking Hell! I can't wait to smash that skelly right up his ass! But how the fuck do we get near this bastard!?"

"Angry mind, please keep looking for a way! There must be a recipe using our skills that could rescue the Lich from its enslavement!"

"Its too early! And how the fuck will we even do it if he keeps shooting as us?! We can't get closer to the bastard!"

"Don't worry, I'm also trying my best!"

While Rimuru and Zehe destroyed the Black Hole Spheres, I summoned countless Cursed Claws all over the sky, taking on any sphere. However, I swiftly commanded some to move around and chase the Lich.

The Lich looked at our desperate fight with indifference.

"All of you, must die… Advanced… Fusion Magic… Shadow Space Prison… Eh?!"

Just before the Lich could cast its next spell, five solid Cursed Claws tried to slash him from behind.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"W-What? Is this the demon magic? No… Its not magic at all… A physical skill? Impressive… However! Advanced Fusion Magic: Thunderstorm Spears!"

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The Lich summoned a small thunderstorm that shoot countless lighting spears at my Cursed Claws.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Hmm?! They're detonating?! Uaagh!"

A small Cursed Claw grabbed tightly on the Lich Feet and detonated right on the spot!

Booom!

The Lich entire left leg was blasted into pieces, and it took heavy damage.

"What? She got me so soon? N-No! There is still something I can do! I won't die so easily! Advanced Null Magic: Powerful Body Enhancement!"

The Lich suddenly activated a powerful reinforcing spell, sharply raising all its stats and speed, as it flew away from my Cursed Claws.

While all of this was going on, the bastard kept sending more Shadow Fiends and Black Hole spheres without rest, showing its masterful control over his own magic.

The Lich continued shooting more lighting spears at my Cursed Claws, making them detonate prematurely. However, I reluctantly kept sending more and more. Thanks to my resent skill fusion, my Cursed Claws have evolved to a next level, becoming completely solid and giving me the ability to summon more than 21.

Suddenly I found myself summoning more than 50 Cursed Claws, using around 30 to resist the Black Hole Spheres and the other 20 to catch the Lich.

I had to summon 50 Cursed Claws every five minutes, costing an incredible amount of Stamina. Each skill cast would only summon five, but I did this ten times, meaning a Stamina consumption of over one thousand. My Stamina stat was already in its negative value, but thanks to my Undead body, I didn't feel any physical fatigue. However, mental fatigue had already hit me quite hard, and gave me sharp pain all over my head.

Rimuru used her healing magic to calm my headache as much as she could while blocking the Black Hole Spheres.

"Mastaa! Are you okay?!"

"Y-Yeah… I can handle this, as long as you two support me… How is Nesiphae and Brontes doing?"

"Honey, they're hanging just fine, some Black Hole Spheres have slipped out but Brontes Spirit Shield was able to protect them both…"

"That's a relief… Ungh! Your teacher is a very sharp man! He's been evading my attacks masterfully! Its such a pity that I can't eat him!"

"H-Honey… Don't say such things on the middle of the battle…"

"I-It was… A joke… Hahaha… A joke in such a desperate battlefield… Ugh! Ah there it is!"

Although the Lich speed was impressive, the sheer number of Cursed Claws following him would catch up with him sooner or later.

"Advanced Null Magic: Impenetrable Magic Shield!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, a thick magic coating covered the entire Lich body just before receive the detonation of multiple Cursed Claws.

Boom! Boom!

"Unngh!"

My Evolved Cursed Claws detonation was very strong, but his magic shield was incredible, barely shattering after so many attacks.

While flying away from my Cursed Claws, I used my Mystic Eyes to look right into the Lich, trying to inflict him with any status ailment I could.

The status ailments that my eyes can cause is different than a conventional one, being able to penetrate most resistances and barriers as long as I keep looking at my target.

But something was strange, it seems like a Lich body is immune to most status ailments, failing to inflict anything on him multiple times.

"I can't inflict him with any status? Ugh… Ah!"

Suddenly, the Lich stopped for a small second, and some Cursed Claws were able to detonate close to him, shattering its magic coating a bit more.

The Lich quickly recovered from the status and kept flying.

"What status was that? Appraisal!"

[NAME: HERBELL SKARDEC STATUS: PARALYZED(WEAK)/UNDEAD (FINE)]

"So, it can get paralyzed at least for small bits!"

While summoning countless Cursed Claws, I kept using my Mystic Eyes to follow the Lich movements from far away, my Paralysis would make him stop for a split second, using this opportunity to slowly diminish his magic coating.

However, it was taking too long!

"How is his magic shield so strong?! Is it because of his incredibly high Magic Stat?! This skeleton is ridiculous!"

As the Lich flew through the skies, it healed his paralysis now and then.

"Nngh…! Paralyzed again?! But I just healed myself a moment ago! This demon possesses a skill able to paralyze me from so far away? I have been stalling for time, seeing if she gets any worse, but this demon is incredibly resilient! By the name of my King and Master, I shall unleash my rage! Advanced Fusion Magic: Zeus Thunder Apocalypse!"

After chanting this spell, a powerful and massive dark cloud formed over the Lich head, and from inside a giant Titan made of Thunder magic raised, raising its muscular arms, it started to shoot incredibly dense Thunder Shocks, easily destroying all my Cursed Claws following him.

"Eh?! What is that? So he got way more spells behind his sleeve!"

Rimuru and Zehe seemed worried.

"Guuu! Mastaaa! What do we do?!"

"Honey… I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry! I am also a gifted mage after all, right Zehe?"

"Ah!"

"Guuu! It's true! Masta, let me share my MP with you, while you cast spells, I will drink MP potions, regenerating any MP lost!"

"Good idea, Rimuru!"

"I shall do the same then, Honey!"

"Please!"

We swiftly connected our MP using [MP Share], increasing the max amount of MP that I was able to use.

I quickly changed my plans, commanding two of my split minds to help me create a powerful Mana Zone over my head, while the other split mind would keep the production of Cursed Claws, stopping the Black Hole Spheres.

On the other side, the Lich kept using its powerful spell to shot more thunder shocks towards us and my Cursed Claws, now the Claws that used to chase him had to work on taking its strong hits.

The Lich quickly became aware of my MP density and desperately tried to stop me.

"Advanced Fusion Magic: Helios Meteor Judgement!"

Suddenly, a powerful sun appeared out of thin air at the side of Lich, and from it, another titan made of fire stood up, raising its hands, it started to shoot flaming meteors at us.

"Another spell? How many spells can he cast at the same time?! There is already four!"

While I used all my might to stop the Lich attacks with my Cursed Claws and at the same time, formed a dense Mana Zone, Zehe explained me her Teacher strength.

"My Teacher is an incredible mage! I was once told by another undead that he used to be a powerful mage on the past of the Kingdom of Ollathir… Being able to summon storms that would consume the whole continent if he desired"

"T-That's certainly just an exaggeration, right?!"

"W-Well… He has lost most of his power when he became an undead, losing his God Blessings"

"Does that mean that this guy would be way scarier if he were alive? No way…"

Boom!

A powerful thunder shock fell down from the sky, I commanded countless Cursed Claws and Anti-Magic shields over us but the power of the Lich Magic stat was higher, breaking them all apart.

The thunder shock was about to hit me, interrupting my Mana Zone creation, but Rimuru quickly expanded her body and covered me and Zehe.

BAAM!

I saw as Rimuru slime body suffered from countless shocks.

"Guuuuguuu!"

"R-Rimuru!!!"

"D-Don't worry, I'm fine, Mastaa! I'm an elemental being! Guuu…"

Although Rimuru tried to make herself look strong, the lighting shock still took a big chunk of her HP.

Spark!

When the lighting shock finally finished to go across Rimuru's body, she slowly came together and became a small slime.

"R-Rimuru, you lost a lot of mass!"

"Guuu… Mastaa… I'm fine…"

While I summoned Cursed Claws, and kept making my Mana Zone. A split mind used some of my arms to open my Item Box and take out plenty of food.

"Quick! Eat this!"

"Guuu… Slurp"

Rimuru quickly expanded her body and digested all the food, slowly increasing her mass.

Zehe was barely holding the Black Hole Spheres with her Shadow Shot, and saw the sad state that Rimuru was.

"T-Teacher! Why are you doing this?!"

From far on the sky, the Lich heard Zehe voice and stopped for a moment.

"Z-Zehe… Hnngh! N-No! I have to do as my King desires! Hnnnggahh!"

Detecting the Lich strange movements, I used this opening to go all out!

"I got you! Mana Zone: Overpowering Sun!!!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, I infused my Mana Zone with countless fire and lava magic, which quickly merged with the whole zone. In a mere instant, a powerful and intimidating flaming sun appeared out of thin air!

The Lich was surprised by such high-level magic.

"Hmm?! Overpowering Sun? Not matter how strong is your spell, if you have lower Magic stat than me, my spells will always overpower yours!"

I manipulated my Overpowering Sun around and opened a small gap, and using my threads, I moved Rimuru and Zehe inside.

I created a small magic sphere using Magic Solidification, which would keep us safe inside.

The Lich was enraged and used big amounts of MP, infusing its various spell and increasing their power.

Suddenly, my Overpowering Sun was rained by countless Lighting Shocks, Flaming Meteors and Black Hole Spheres.

However, the density of this mass of lava was quite high, tanking on any hit, and even when the Black Hole Spheres absorbed the space around were they detonated, the Sun mass only decreased very slowly.

As if Overpowering Sun was some kind of spaceship, I flew across the night sky, illuminating the whole forest. While chasing over the Lich.

"You damned demon!!!"

I noticed that Brontes and Nesiphae stopped fighting the Shadow Fiends, as they were able to destroy the magic circles were these ones were coming from, and I quickly carried them inside the Sun.

While chasing over the Lich, he suddenly deactivated all his spells and started to cast new magic.

"Advanced Fusion Magic: White Nova!"

The Lich, by surprise, summoned a powerful white colored Nova, which looked like a small version of my Overpowering Sun.

"Take this!"

Baaam!

The powerful White Nova hit my Overpowering Sun with incredible might, detonating all over it, creating a big hole, which slowly regenerated.

"White Nova! White Nova! White Nova!"

While looking at his back, the Lich threw countless White Nova at my Overpowering Sun, and it quickly diminished its total mass by over 50%.

Baaam! Baaam! Baaam!

Each time a White Nova detonated; an incredibly strong sound resonated through the entire Grand Forest.

"S-Shit! Even Overpowering Sun is not enough? N-No! Here!"

I used Overpowering Sun as if it were a Mana Zone of its own, and infused countless spells.

Suddenly, the whole Sun started to generate countless weapon-shaped projectiles of various elements. Raining over the Lich.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Seeing how countless weapon-shaped projectiles were about to him directly, the Lich chanted a new spell.

"Tssk! Advanced Null Magic: Anti-Magic Wall!"

Baam! Baam! Baam!

The powerful transparent wall easily blocked every magic projectile, only getting a little bit shattered on its sides.

Meanwhile, the Lich kept casting White Nova at us, quickly diminishing Overpowering Sun mass.

Baam! Baam! Baam!

My wives were worried and asked if they could do anything.

"I can't afford to put all of you in such danger, his magic is too strong! We must pull out of this situation on our own way! Please, share all your MP with me!"

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

"Yes, big sis!"

"Guuu!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, I felt as a strong flood of MP entered my whole body.

Using this new MP, I infused a big chunk on my Overpowering Sun, quickly regaining its mass and speed.

"I need to try out new types of magic! Split Minds! Let's experiment with Soul Magic!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"You got it!"

Nesiphae quickly suggested to use Anti-Magic on the mix.

While maneuvering on the sky and trying to dodge the White Nova, my split minds worked at an incredible speed, casting countless Soul and Anti-Magic spells, infusing the Overpowering Sun with a strange yellow and white colored aura.

"Now! Gate of Bjarmia!"

The massive Sun started to shoot countless weapon shaped projectiles, however, this time they were of a strong white and yellow colors, without having any physical mass.

Meanwhile, the Lich casted White Nova desperately, while running around, without a time to properly analyze what was being shot to him.

"Hnngh? W-What is that?!"

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Suddenly, hundreds of magic projectiles rained over the Lich, penetrating its powerful Anti-Magic Shield, slowly shattering it!

Crack!

"Eh?! How?! Hnngh! I will just infuse more MP then!"

Fluosh!

The Lich let off a strong aura that covered its entire body, and infused it over its Anti-Magic Shield, quickly healing the cracks and making it even sturdier.

"This bastard just infused MP on its shield and its back to new?! Aagh! Just you wait! Now! Anti-Magic projectiles!"

While flying at an increasing speed, Overpowering Sun once again rained over the Lich with hundreds of magic projectiles, this time they had a strange transparent aura.

Clash! Clash!

The powerful weapon shaped projectiles hit the Anti-Magic Shield with powerful might, quickly increasing its cracks.

"It seems that Anti-Magic is good versus Anti-Magic!"

Crack! Crack!

The Lich desperately saw as his Anti-Magic Shield quickly shattered.

"Damn it! More MP then!"

Fluosh!

Due to the powerful Anti-Magic projectiles, the Lich needed to use lots of his thoughts and MP into his Shield, for a small moment, he had to stop casting White Nova, which gave me an opening once again.

I used my Mystic Eyes and successfully paralyzed him for a split second, using this, I summoned countless Cursed Claws, which quickly went around his Anti-Magic Shield and started to detonate around him, slowly shattering his magic coating.

"We are back on it!"

The Lich looked at me with hatred.

"Again, with these Claws?! Ugh! Advanced Space Magic: Space Density!"

Fluosh!

After chanting this spell, all the space around us started to feel strange, and I suddenly realized that my body felt extremely heavy!

Not just my body, but this also affected my mind, making it difficult to process thoughts.

"Aagh! T-This…"

Using this opportunity, the Lich flew farther away, and once again threw countless White Nova spells at me.

"Shit!"

"Master!"

"Watch out!"

"Uuugh!"

Fluosh!

More than five White Nova spheres hit the entire Overpowering Sun, detonating on place.

Booom!

The Lich looked over this spectacle with indifference, however, his aura had a hint of fear and uneasiness.

"Z-Zehe… Eh?!"

Just before him, the sun had completely disappeared on place. The Lich thought that even if he killed everyone inside, a small mass of floating lava would be left until it slowly dissipated, however, there was nothing at all!

Just before the White Nova spells could hit my Overpowering Sun, I quickly opened a way and flew with my wives, and deactivated the skill. When such a high-density skill like Overpowering Sun is deactivated, it would instead, detonate with a strong force. Making the Lich think that we died on the explosion.

The Lich quickly analyzed the skies but suddenly, a strong shock hit its entire body.

"Paralysis! Ugh! She is somewhere!"

After fleeing from my Overpowering Sun, I activated my Illusion Magic and [Blood Monster Mimic King Mimicry], creating a camouflaging coating over us, which it seems, the Lich cannot detect.

The Lich couldn't detect our presence and was incredibly enraged, shooting countless spells around himself.

"White Nova! Zeus Thunderstorm! Helios Meteor Rain! Black Hole Rain!"

Baam! Baam! Baam!

The whole forest suffered the disastrous Lich attack, which illuminated the whole night sky.

I flew around with my wives, evading most attacks while regaining momentum.

I summoned countless Cursed Claws and sent them over the Lich, he tried to look over where we were, but everytime we made sure to move around.

Brontes and Rimuru also helped, shooting their strongest spells.

Rimuru used her powerful multi-elemental Gate of Bjarmia, while Brontes used her Coiling Dragon Thunderstorm.

Hundreds of Cursed Claws, Weapon shaped projectiles and Thunder Coiling Dragons rained over the Lich Anti-Magic Shield, which already showed sign of cracking multiple times if it wasn't for his constant infusion in MP.

"I remember him having more than 700 MP! Even if it's a ridiculous quantity, he will run out someday!"

I tried to constantly paralyze him so he would make small mistakes, leaving his Anti-Magic Shield without MP infusion.

The Lich quickly healed his paralysis but as soon as he did that, I inflicted him with it again!

Spark!

"Hnngh! No!"

Flash!

Suddenly two Giant Cursed Claws tightly grabbed his Anti-Magic Shield and detonated!

Booom!

Crack! Crack! CRACK!

"Eh?!"

"His damned Anti-Magic Shield is finally broken!"

"Master, we did it!"

"Guuuu!"

"T-Teacher! Please surrender!"

After hearing Zehe voice, the Lich immediately noticed where we were, and flew at max speed towards us!

FLASH!

"Z-Zehe you dummy, guuu!"

"Ah!"

"He's coming right at us! Why?"

"It's not like him! He always kept his distance!"

Suddenly, I felt a strong Soul aura coming from the Lich.

Fluosh!

This aura seemed to constantly expand, increasing in size and density!

I saw with my Mystic Eyes as his Soul Core slowly started to shatter!

"What is he trying to do? He's going to detonate his Soul Core? But he's going to die!"

Zehe looked over her Teacher actions and started to cry tears of grievance, having a desperate face.

"Teacher! Don't!"

"…"

As the Lich approached us at an incredible speed, I used all my threads to throw my wives far away.

Fluosh!

"Uuaaah! M-Master! Nooo!"

"Mastaaaaaa!"

"Big sis! Don't!"

"H-Honey! Why?!"

As they flew far away, I looked at them with a warm smile.

"Don't worry"

Chapitre 49: The Undead Indifference

I sent my wives several meters away with my threads, preparing myself to intercept the Lich on its full force.

"This better works…"

My split minds were already doing their best, and at my command they had started creating a small Mana Zone over my head, in three seconds it was already done.

"I have both Soul Pact and Death Pact, alongside Soul Manipulation and Penetration. The only thing I need is something to hold all these spells together… Soul Combination!"

I casted the first four spells inside my tiny Mana Zone, and they showed as little lumps of a pale-yellow light, rotating around themselves like stars.

The second after, I casted [Soul Combination], which showed as a bigger lump of light, catching the other four and tightly holding them together.

In these four seconds, as the Lich approached me, I sensed how his Soul Core started to shatter even more, already loosing big lumps, showing off a powerful soul.

"I also need Anti-Magic to hold off the spell that he's using to detonate the Soul Core!"

I casted my [Anti-Magic Seal] and it showed as a big transparent lump of light, which I grabbed on one of my hands.

"Main Mind!"

"Y-Yeah!"

Flash!

When the Lich finally reached me with its full power, a blinding yellow light illuminated the whole night.

As if time stopped, I felt myself immersed on a sea of light, there, I saw the Lich skeleton body slowly disintegrating, and its soul core was on a terrible state, barely holding off.

I sensed a feeling of sadness and grievance, as if the feelings of the Lich infected my own soul.

"I'm sorry, Zehe…"

"I'm so sorry for hurting your family… I didn't want to…"

"Zehe…"

I noticed as the Lich consciousness started to slowly fade into nothingness.

However, I used all my might to yell with my own soul!

"Hey!"

"…"

"Don't die on me!"

"…"

"Don't ignore me, you pile of bones!"

"Ah! You… Let me die… I deserve this…"

"Perhaps you do, you bastard, you tried to kill my wives! I would had already eaten you if it wasn't for Zehe!"

"Ze…he?"

"Yes! Zehe! She is waiting for you!"

"Zehe… I can't look at her eyes anymore"

"You can! And you will!"

"Its too late… Let me die…"

"I won't!"

"W-Why are you so resilient over it…"

"Because I love Zehe! I want her to be happy! She won't be the same after seeing her beloved father killing himself in front of her!"

"B-Beloved… Father?"

"Yes! You are Zehe's beloved father! You are her father figure! The one who made her the way she is! Zehe is… An excellent person… She is mature and very intelligent… But also has a soft and cute side…"

"Hahaha… That is how little Zehe is… My child… Zehe…"

"That's right!"

"But how can I go back to her…? I have already detonated my soul… There is nothing you can do…"

"I can do something! But I need your help"

"My help?"

"Do you accept becoming my servant?"

"Eh? What is this all of the sudden? How can this matter at all?"

"If you accept, there will be a way! But you must accept! Hurry, we are running out of time!"

"I… If what you're saying is really true… I accept!"

"Now! I need to overwrite your last servant contract! This is where this spell I made come into place! You will feel an incredible pain inside your soul! Are you ready?"

"I… I am!!!"

FLUOSH!

I quickly inserted the big lump containing the five skills combined together into the Lich expanding soul.

The Lich soul started to convulse as it tried to adapt to the skills power.

"Uuuggh! Uuaaagh!"

"Hold into it for a bit longer! Don't you dare lost consciousness!"

"I…! Understand! Uuuooohhh!"

FLUOSH!

The Licht soul finally started to slowly assimilate my five skills, and the tiny lump of light became part of his yellow soul, stabilizing it.

The soul quickly stopped expanding but still didn't went back to the Soul Core.

"Now! Anti-Magic Seal!"

I threw the Anti-Magic Seal skill over the Soul Core, and an almost transparent paper made with energy appeared out of thin air, covering the spherical Soul Core, forcing its soul to go back on place.

"Ugh! I am… Recovering?"

"It's done! Phew…"

Ding!

[Impure Lich: Herbell Skardec has become your minion]

Ding!

[You obtained a new title:] [Soul Manipulator]

As the bright yellow light surrounding us slowly faded, I noticed that the Lich entire body was nowhere to be seen. It seems that his original body was disintegrated by his soul radiation, only leaving his Soul Core.

The Soul Core was still able to talk through the user soul, and could also float. But he lost most of his power and stats. What mattered is that he was still alive.

After seeing such spectacle, my wives quickly flew back to me.

"Mastaaa! I thought you were going to die! Gueeeeehh!"

"Master! Don't do that ever again! Ooh!"

"Big sis! Big sis! Bueehh!"

"H-Honey! I was so worried…"

I was greeted by my wives crying like little babies, as they all hugged me, I felt their warm tears flowing through, specially Nesiphae tears, which were massive, soaking my entire head.

"I am fine, I told you to not worry… And your Teacher… Although he lost his body, his Soul Core and his soul are fine. Here"

I opened my hand and let the big red colored Soul Core float.

Zehe was surprised and saddened over her Teacher state, but couldn't resist to hug this crystal ball.

"Z-Zehe… I'm sorry… I couldn't do nothing to stop myself… But even with that in mind… My actions are unforgivable…"

"Teaaacher!! Buaaaaaahhh!"

"Z-Zehe?!"

"Teacher I missed you so much! Please never go away from me! Buaaaahhh!"

"Zehe… But I…"

"It doesn't matter! Honey already fixed you, right? You just weren't being yourself… But now you are free! You can be yourself! And be with me, and my family!"

"Zehe…"

The Lich Soul Core rotated around and saw my wife's warm smiles, he couldn't believe how easy everything he did was forgiven.

However, I still gave him a sharp glance.

"You better behave yourself around Zehe, I hope that your relationship is only just father and daughter, and nothing else!"

The Lich Soul Core started to tremble after feeling my deadly aura.

"Y-Yeah… Don't worry, Kireina…"

Zehe looked at me while pouting.

"Honey! You're scaring my father!"

"Aaahahaha! S-Sorry! I was just teasing him… Welcome to the family, Herbell!"

"Herbell… Right, my name is Herbell… Those undead always called me Lich… I had already forgotten my name, even though it's on my own status"

Suddenly, I felt a menacing deadly gaze in my back!

"Ugh! Right! There are still 3 skellies left!"

My wives quickly noticed this and also became aware of their presence.

The three bastards behind all of this finally showed their faces.

The undead King commanding them, clapped his hands, which barely had any rotten flesh left.

Clap clap

"What a beautiful sight, Lich. You have finally reunited with your beloved daughter"

The Archer at the King back moved to his left side.

"Hmm, and you will be able to reunite once again in the afterlife"

The Loyal Knight at the King right side looked at Herbell's Soul Core with incredible hatred.

"Lich… You have betrayed my King… and our Master… You don't even deserve a quick death, but a horrible one! A death full of suffering! I will slay your daughter! I will take apart each of her limbs! You traitor!"

Herbell's Soul Core floated ahead of Zehe, trying to protect her.

"I won't let you! I have already made my decision! I will protect Zehe and her family!"

While looking at his pathetic state, the undead started to laugh.

"Bwahahaha! And how do you plan to do that? You are just a floating Soul Core!"

"You should know your place, Lich"

"Arrogant bastard! I shall slay everything you love as the punishment over your sins!"

Herbell Soul Core moved around, its soul essence quickly became red-colored, showing his hatred.

"You are the bastards here! Specially you, my King! Forcing me to kill my own daughter! King or not, your Kingdom has already fallen! You are nothing but a rotting corpse, you don't even remain your memories!"

The King looked at Herbell Soul Core with indifference.

"Whatever the weak say, it does not matter… Brace yourselves my knights!"

"Yes, my King!"

"Raaah! I can't wait to smash this Lich to pieces!"

The King raised its demon sword at me.

"Demon, we have come to slay you, in the name of our benevolent Master, surrender now and we will grant your servants a quick death"

Using the opportunity that their pointless dialogues granted, I used my Illusion Magic to cover on my Cursed Claws, as I quickly summoned more than 30.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

I didn't even hear what the King said, as I summoned more than 30 Cursed Claws that rained over the undead.

"Eh?!"

"My King! Watch out!"

"How?! I couldn't detect them in time?!"

The Cursed Claws flew at an extreme speed, the King and his loyal knight couldn't react in time, as the Claws detonated around them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even the Archer who presumed to have a very high Speed Stat was surprised and barely dodged the detonations, however, for the other two, it didn't go as easy.

The King and the Loyal Knight lacked any protection spells, resulting on them taking heavy damage.

The King lost his left arm and was barely hanging his sword with his right arm, his horse also died on the sudden explosions.

The loyal knight lost a big chunk of his back but was still standing with his King.

"My King, are you alright?"

"Yes! This demon is too shred! We must fight back! I will support you two with my magic! Now go!"

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

The undead Archer and Knight jumped towards us, raising their weapons.

I swiftly appraised the two.

"T-These guys are as insane as Herbell!"

Although Herbell wanted to join on the fight, he had lost most of his power and skills, so I forcefully saved him inside my Item Box against his own will.

My Wives took defensive positions and I activated my Solidified Anti-Magic Shields, protecting us from the incoming attack. Meanwhile, I commanded my Split Minds to keep producing more Cursed Claws under the Illusion Magic to stock up on them.

BOOOOM!!!

The Undead Knight was the first to unleash his attack, throwing a powerful flaming thrust towards my Anti-Magic Shield. The strength of the attack was so potent that it made an incredible shockwave around us and instantly shattered the shield, sending all of us flying through the sky.

"Uugh! Such Power! But! Cursed Claws!"

Suddenly, more than 20 Cursed Claws surrounded the Undead Knight, distracting him while detonating. Although they tried to get closer to him, he easily wiped them out with a slash from his powerful axe.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"What? He just slashed 20 Cursed Claws in one hit?!"

"Hmmph! Mere flies!"

Suddenly, Brontes and Nesiphae came rushing towards the Knight and attacked him in combination.

"Don't worry Master!"

"We will crush him for you, big sister!"

"Alright!"

The Undead Knight was extremely strong and even his Strength stat far surpassed Nesiphae, however, his speed was lacking. Nesiphae and Brontes used their better speed stat alongside body enhancement buffs to barely put a fight with him, working as one.

While I flew with Rimuru and Zehe around, I noticed that the Archer was nowhere to be seen, and that the King was chanting a powerful spell, surrounding himself with countless magic circles.

"What is this bastard brewing? And where is the Archer?! Ah!"

Suddenly, a green colored figure appeared above us, surrounding it were countless sharp arrows made of pure wind, ready to shoot at us.

"Die, demon"

Zehe and Rimuru noticed this ahead of time, and alerted me.

"Honey! Watch out!"

"Guuu! Mastaa! Multi-Elemental Shield!"

Rimuru quick thinking saved me once again, casting a powerful multi-elemental shield that saved us from the powerful wind arrow rain. However, after 5 seconds, the shield already started to crack.

As I looked over, the Undead Archer looked at us with a creepy smile.

"Not bad… How about this? Activate Skill: Wind Nova Blast!"

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, the wind arrows surrounding the Undead Archer came together into a powerful arrow, which he infused more MP, making it bigger.

"Here you go! I hope you can eat this much! Hahaha!"

FLASH!

The powerful density of the wind arrow created shockwaves all around the sky.

"S-Shit! Anti-Magic Shield! Cursed Claws!"

I activated countless mini Anti Magic Shields alongside big Cursed Claws, creating a powerful barrier.

Rimuru and Zehe also helped, casting their own magic shields.

In mere seconds, we created a long group of Shields and Cursed Claws made into a big row.

BOOOM!

The powerful wind arrow came across every shield and Cursed Claw easily, however, the combination of shields was able to slow down the shot enough for us to have a small glimpse of time to retreat.

BAAAM!

The massive wind arrow finally hit the ground, creating a devastating tornado that destroyed the forest surrounding it. Countless trees and big chunks of ground started to fly on the sky, slowly dropping on the ground when the tornado finally dissipated.

Without giving us any time to breath, the Undead Archer appeared above us once again, shooting a big number of Wind Arrows.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

I decided to cast my [Fairy Vampire Empress 8 Demonic Wings] on Rimuru and Zehe as we tried to evade most hits.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The small Wind Arrows didn't do as much damage, but are too many and too fast, stockpiling damage with ease.

While trying to catch on the Undead Archer, the bastard swiftly flew around the sky with an incredible speed, laughing at us while shooting arrows.

After seeing Rimuru and Zehe on a poor state, I decided to cast my [Spiritual Blood Magic Shield] on each of them, while I activated my [Crimson Demon Armor].

I told them to assist me from far away while I tried to catch on the bastard.

I kept infusing my Cursed Claws with MP, making them go faster, and using their Illusion effect, some were able to slip through the Archer reflexes and detonated on his back.

"Uuagh! Eh?! Again, with these invisible Claws!"

They might be incredibly overpowered but their movements were quite clumsy and lacked essential vision and shield skills, it seems that the Lich was way more experienced than them in combat.

I suddenly made 20 more of my Cursed Claws that were waiting around the sky, confusing the archer about our whereabouts.

I infused my armor with Illusion Magic and [Mimicry], easily camouflaging me on the deep dark of the night.

As the archer was confused over the explosions, he tried to fly away only to catch on more, he tried his best on creating a shield made of Wind, but it could only take on two hits.

"Ggrr! Just moments ago, I was enjoying myself! W-Where did they go?! Aah!"

I noticed that the archer stopped for a second, and using my Mystic Eyes, I paralyzed him for that split second just in time for me to give him a kick through his back, followed by a punch on his neck.

CLASH! BAAM!

"Uuagh!"

Some time ago, I obtained a skill named [Flaming Demon Empress Earth Shattering Combat Style] through fusion. Just after obtaining this skill, countless information about a powerful combat style crossed through my mind, instantly mastering this power.

Using this skill, I was able to easily connect different types of physical attacks without the need of using skills and wasting MP or giving me Mental Fatigue.

As the Wind Archer fell down in pain, Rimuru and Zehe started showering him in different magic projectiles, the bastard was barely able to dodge all of them with his cheat Speed.

"Tsk! Die Already! Advanced Wind Arrow Technique: Wind God Judgement!"

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, a powerful storm appeared out of thin air over the Archer, and countless green colored tornados flew through the sky, coming for me and my wives.

I used my threads to pull Rimuru and Zehe over my side, as I hold them tightly with my arms, we flew across the sky evading the powerful green tornados.

"Hahaha! Yes! That look really fit you a lot! Run! Advanced Fusion Skill: Cursed Wind Arrow Rain!"

FLUOSH!

After the Undead Archer chant, a powerful black colored wind storm appeared in front of him, creating incredibly dense air currents, the storm quickly showered our path with sharp wind arrows.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

While evading the attacks from both sides, I stealthy kept making more Cursed Claws covered in Illusion Magic and made them slowly approached the Archer from bellow and above.

However, out of nowhere, a powerful flow around the entire space surrounding us started to change.

FLUOSH!

"Uugh! What now?!"

I glanced at my back and discovered the Undead King who finally finished to chant his Gravity Magic.

This Gravity Magic reversed the law of Gravity on this small space, making us extremely heavy, falling to the ground.

The Undead Archer was not affected by this magic, which made me wonder what are the basics of such spell.

"Bwahahaha! Down you go! Advanced Fusion Skill: Cursed Wind Nova Blast!"

At the Archer command, all the arrows around the sky started to gather in one place, growing bigger and stronger into a unified and massive arrow made of a black wind.

Flash!

The powerful Black Wind Arrow wasn't affected by the gravity change, as it flew down below towards us at an incredible speed.

Seeing such powerful magic, I was sure that if this directly hit us, we would instantly become meat paste!

I tried to counter the Massive Wind Arrow with my Gate of Bjarmia.

"Gate of Bjarmia: Pandora's Box!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, hundreds of black colored weapon shaped magic projectiles started to rain under the Black Wind Arrow, slowly diminishing its power.

"Shit! More! Rimuru! Zehe!"

"Guuuuu! Multi-Elemental Rainbow Armory!"

"Shadow Meteor Shower!"

Joining my Gate of Bjarmia skill came rainbow-colored magic projectiles alongside powerful shadow meteors.

Booom! Booom! Boom!

Thanks to our combination, the big Black Wind Arrow slowly dissipated before it could hit the ground.

Thump!

However, due to the gravity change, we fell down to the ground instead.

I glanced over the Archer as he looked at us with scorn.

"Tch! How could you dispel my powerful magic?! Well, just di-"

Suddenly, two Cursed Claws grabbed the Archer from his legs!

"Huh? W-What?! Where did these came from?"

I noticed as he tried to desperately take off the Cursed Claws.

"Deactivate Skill: Cursed Claws!"

Flash!

The Cursed Claws grabbing the Undead Archer glowed on a bright purple as they detonated in front of him.

BOOOM!

"Uaaggh!"

The double detonation blew the archer lower body bellow his hips, showing his rotten insides as he fell down below.

Thump!

"Uggh! Impossible!"

On the ground, I commanded more Cursed Claws to follow the Archer, as he slowly crawled through the ground.

Seeing his impending doom, the Archer looked over his King.

"K-King! Help me!"

The Undead King, who was on a very far distance, looked at him with indifference.

"Use your Shadow Awakening Ring, or die. Those are your options, Archer"

"Ghh! B-But Shadow Awakening will consume my soul! It would be the same as dying!"

The Loyal Knight who was fighting Nesiphae and Brontes looked over the Archer with hate.

"Give your life for your King! Ooorraaah!"

The Undead Knight raised his flaming axe towards Brontes, but thankfully, Nesiphae intercepted him on time with her own flaming axe.

CLASH!

"Not bad, Lamia!"

Suddenly, Brontes came from the back of the Knight, jumping over it with her powerful thunder infused club.

CLASH!

Brontes powerful attack blew the Knight several meters away, and due to the Knight poor speed, she was able to obtain a better momentum, making use of these openings after strong attacks.

"Hmmph! You're not half bad, Cyclops! Advanced Dark Arts: Dark Demon Speed Enhancement!"

A powerful dark aura covered the Knight body as his Speed stat suddenly increased through the roof!

"Big sister Nesiphae, he's fast now!"

"Be cautious, Brontes!"

"Hmm!"

On the other side of the battlefield, I slowly stood up with Rimuru and Zehe, and using my threads to support my body, I ran towards the Archer, commanding my Cursed Claws to quickly cut the indecisive undead hands!

My Cursed Claws quickly ovbeyed my commands.

"I have to… Uughh… Aaah! I wi-"

SLASH!

Suddenly, a sudden pain came across the Undead Archer bones, as he saw his two hands being completely severed by a grotesque claw.

"Aaah! N-No! W-Wait! Give that back! Wind Arrow! Huh? W-Why I can't use Magic? My MP?!"

Unlike the Lich, this Archer had only around 300 MP, and didn't shared it with any ally. The idiot wasted his most primary resource easily spamming devastating area-of-effect magic without care.

This showed his lack of actual battle experience, I presumed that when he was alive, he barely fought in a life and death battle, and always had a clear advantage over his opponents, making him grown overconfident and lazy.

While watching the bastard in desperation, I smiled and commanded my Cursed Claws to bring his half body to me.

Two Cursed Claws grabbed the Undead Archer dying body and swiftly flew towards me in a split second.

The Undead Archer looked at my face with horror.

"My King! My Knight! Why are you not helping me?! Help! Why?!"

It seems that the undead lack any type of companionship, as they already saw him as dead weight and even were happy over his dead giving them some time.

I noticed that the King and the Knight are weirder than the Archer, as the Archer clearly still has feelings and feels fear, however, the King seems to lack self-awareness of what's going on, it would be better if he killed the Archer so I don't eat him and absorb his strength.

Undead are very weird, they seem to be enslaved by their commands but sometimes look tired, as if even doing this that would benefit them was pointless.

Without wanting to waste any more time, I expanded my hand and used [Bloody Lotus Dissolving Juices] to quickly dissolve and digest the Undead Archer while it was still alive, not caring about his screams.

I was surprised that the Undead did nothing about this, as if trying to help me get stronger without any reason.

"What's going on the head of these guys?"

I easily absorbed the entire Undead Archer in 20 seconds, this also included his delicious Soul Core.

I commanded another Cursed Claw to grab the other pieces of the Undead and saved them on my Item Box, while doing this, I healed Zehe and Rimuru and stealthily spread more of my Illusion Cursed Claws around.

Thankfully, Nesiphae and Brontes were hanging just fine, distracting the Undead Knight and the King, who was chanting another dangerous spell.

"I won't let you! Zehe, Rimuru, lets go after the King! Nesiphae and Zehe can handle the Knight!"

"Alright, guuu!"

"Yes!"

The Undead King looked at us with indifference.

"Everything went wrong. Our plan and the commands of my Master. Yet, I still feel nothing. Even at my impending doom, I feel nothing. When did I become like this? Or was I always like this?"

The King raised his demon sword at us, without changing his stoic expression.

"Come, demon!"
