However, just as Antoril and Ulthar were fighting in the middle of the cave, a new enemy appeared on the battlefield.
Seriously speaking, this time, it was not a complete 'enemy', but a strange head!
It was a protruding head of a Lich that was carved out of translucent magical crystals.
The crystal head was not big, but it was unusually clear.
On top of the head was a gorgeous magic crown that radiated colorful light, and its empty eye sockets were inlaid with two strange rubies that blocked the scarlet Soul Fire behind it.
When the lower jaw of the head opened and closed to speak, Grimm could even clearly see that the neat rows of teeth were not real teeth, but carved out of magical gems that contained strange power.
With these powerful magical gems, the Lich's head did not even need to chant incantations to fight the enemy. With just a light tap of the upper jaw, the magical gems that were customized to be magic sequencers would be quickly activated, and the enemy would be completely drowned in a storm of rapid spells.
According to Grimm's knowledge, the weakest Lich in the entire multiverse was a Level-3 creature.
Once they gathered enough resources and magic tools to create an immortal body, they would immediately jump to Level-4. The Lich in front of him had barely created an immortal Lich's head for itself, so its basic strength should be at the beginning of Level-4.
Of course, if it could create a Lich's body within a thousand years, then it could jump to the advanced Level-4.
But for the current battlefield, a Level-4 Lich was terrifying enough!
Therefore, when he saw the crystal head appear and block the Druid and Witch's escape route, Grimm did not say anything. He immediately grabbed Alice's waist and turned around, wanting to use Flame Leap to escape the battlefield.
But as soon as he turned around, he froze …
A sinister Lich had already blocked his escape route, and was using the Lich Bone Staff in his right hand to knock on his left hand. The White Bone Staff and the skeletal hand collided with each other, producing a heart-wrenching, crisp sound.
Grimm's heart sank to the bottom when he saw the strange robe shrouded in black light and the dazzling magic aura on the other party's body.
Grimm squinted his eyes slightly, covering the blue light that was leaking from the chip's full operation. He began to analyze the entire battlefield, looking for an opportunity to escape.
The A.I. Chip operated frantically for a while, and very quickly provided 5 ways to escape from this dangerous situation. However, three of them required abandoning Alice to be carried out perfectly, so Grim could only reluctantly abandon them. After the A.I. Chip's rapid analysis and summarization, the remaining two escape plans gradually merged into one, forming a plan that had the highest chance of escaping.
27%...
No matter how the A.I. Chip calculated, the chances of Grimm and Alice successfully escaping this time was less than 27%. Making a move with such a low probability was undoubtedly a huge risk.
But looking at the situation before him, he had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, by the time the Tier 4 Lich finished off Antorier and Ulthar, he wouldn't even have a 27% chance.
The terrifying Flame Demon had self-destructed!
No matter which plan it was, the best way to distract the enemy was to order the terrifying Grade 2 Flame Demon to self-destruct.
The Grade 4 Lich was now targeting the two Grade 3 Lich, which meant that the only enemy Grimm had to 'deal with' was the Grade 3 Lich in front of him. As a Grade 2 Fire Lich, Grimm did not have any spells that could directly threaten the Grade 3 Lich.
Hence, the self-destruction of the terrifying Flame Demon was probably the only way he could pin down the Grade 3 Lich!
Grimm gritted his teeth and was about to proceed with the plan, but Alice, who was leaning against him, gently pulled him back and shook her head.
In this short moment of hesitation, the situation in the arena changed drastically once again.
The two Grade 3 Lich had been defeated!
The heavily injured Druid Antorier was almost at his last breath when he was hit by the Lich's Skull's torrent of spells. He lay on the ground and could no longer move. The Dark Witch Ulthar, who was still in good condition, also chose to escape at the first moment.
Unfortunately, facing a Grade 4 Lich, Ulthar could not escape even if he used all his methods.
Shadow Movement?
Ulthar's thin and withered body had just turned into a Shadow Body, and before she could squeeze into the shadows, she was hit by a Soul Fire. The silver Soul Fire that burned brightly on top of her head lit up the space around Ulthar, dispersing the shadows and darkness that gathered around her.
Her short-distance Shadow Movement was blocked, so Ulthar could only quickly open a spatial crack and escape into the Shadow Plane. With the unhindered movement of the Shadow Plane, she could quickly increase the distance between her and the strange Lich's Skull, and then escape easily.
Unfortunately, her plan was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
The huge ruby embedded in the eyes of the Lich's Skull shot a strange spell at the spatial crack, and the crack actually closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ulthar, who had just entered the Shadow Plane, was ejected from the space again, and the half of her body that was stuck in the Shadow Plane suddenly disappeared.
Ulthar screamed miserably!
Anyone who had half of their body suddenly devoured would be in excruciating pain like she did.
If she hadn't transformed into a Shadow Body, she would have been gravely injured and on the verge of death.
The Lich's Skull's relentless pursuit drove Ulthar crazy. She raised her head and let out a shrill cry. Shadow Spears appeared out of nowhere and shot towards the floating crystal head.
The Lich's Skull did not even react to the Tier 3 Dark Witch's counterattack. The Lich's Skull did not even have the time to cast the most basic Magic Shield and Elemental Protection, and the Shadow Spears devoured it.
Haha, that Tier 4 Lich was too careless …
While such thoughts lingered in Ulthar's mind, the floating Lich's Skull had already flown out of the Shadow Plane's Suicide Zone. Not a single scratch could be seen on its translucent crystal skull, which was as smooth as new and flawless as ever.
Damn it … Damn it … Damn it …
This was the first time Ulthar experienced the terror of the Lich's Immortal Body!
Did Undead like Liches have any weaknesses?
There was … Soul Fire!
It could be said that all Undead only had one fatal weakness, and that was the Soul Fire hidden deep within their skulls. In order to protect this Soul Fire, many Undead had evolved skulls that were tougher than steel to prevent their enemies from killing them with a single blow.
The Lich, which stood at the top of the Undead, took this advantage to the extreme.
It used the world's most precious and sturdiest Magic Crystal to create a near-perfect Soul Fire dwelling. The Crystal Skull seemed to be made of a thin layer of crystal glass, which made it look weak and fragile. However, in reality, its Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance were astonishingly high.
The Tier 4 Lich Luke, for example, had created a Crystal Skull that was immune to all spells and physical attacks below Tier 3. If a Tier 3 or higher spell or physical attack wanted to damage the Lich's Skull, it would have to focus its power on a single point to shatter it.
The Lich's Skull was not afraid of Ulthar's large-scale elemental attack!
Therefore, Lich Luke controlled the Crystal Skull and floated to Ulthar's side. He resisted the Lich's crazy counterattack and used an instant Withering Spell to defeat the Dark Witch.
At this moment, rows of Death Knights walked out of the tunnels behind Lich Annos. Judging from their imposing manner, they seemed to be Tier 2 Undead.
Grim completely gave up this time!
If Alice had not stopped him, even if he used the Balrog's self-destruction to force the Tier 3 Lich away, he would have run into these Death Knights while escaping.
If it was a one-on-one battle, Grimm was 80% sure that he could kill one of the Death Knights within 15 minutes. After all, when a spellcaster faced a Warrior who only had brute strength, he could use Teleportation to increase the distance between them and attack to wear down the opponent's defense bit by bit.
If Grimm were to face two Death Knights, he would have a high chance of winning if he used all his trump cards. If there were three Death Knights, Grimm could only run away and avoid the battle passively.
But looking at the scene in front of him, groups of Death Knights walked out of the tunnels and formed a battle formation. Soon, there were 21 of them.
How … How could a mere Grade 2 Fire Wizard like Grimm stand a chance against such a team?
So, under Alice's signal, Grimm had no choice but to withdraw his terrifying Flame Demon and obediently surrender.
After Grimm and the others were captured, the group of Undead slowly dragged them into the depths of the underground.
For some reason, Grimm could feel that the group of Undead seemed to value Alice more than Ulthar and Antoril. After the Tier 4 Lich bound Alice with a Fixed Body Spell, he lifted her with a light beam and flew into the depths of the underground first.
Grimm, Ulthar, and Antoril were escorted to a temporary camp by the Undead Legion led by the Tier 3 Lich Annos. There, Grimm saw an innumerable number of intermediate and high-level Undead, as well as the Undead Legion that filled the entire underground space.
