Bab 172: The Phylactery

Henry heard the Lich's yell as well as felt it. He also knew what would come after. 

"Nyx!" He yelled. The urgency of the situation helped him get the words out despite the effort it was taking him to hang on to the hook while his body dangled off the ceiling. Why he didn't just yell it through telepathy, he had no idea. 

Nyx was already on the move and as the Lich prepared to cast attacking spells to knock Henry off the ceiling or even better, skewer him to death, she was quickly within range to strike her legs at it. 

"Get back!" The Lich yelled and before Nyx's hooves could touch it, it conjured a fist of Mana that punched her aside. 

[Nyx has lost 40 Hit Points]

[Nyx's Hit Points: 50/185]

Nyx hit the ground hard and even as she let out sounds of pain, a dark shadow spread underneath her and she vanished from sight.
