The heavily armored man was not very fast, but his momentum was extremely fierce. Every step he took was accompanied by a violent crash. The sound echoed in the narrow cave, getting louder and louder, and gradually became like thunder.
"Now I know why all the adventurers were annihilated." Devore swallowed his saliva, clenched the battle axe with both hands, took a deep breath, and got into a fighting stance.
Lafleur, who was at the front, had disappeared. Obviously, he had used the stealth skill that he was proud of to hide in the shadows everywhere in this underground cave. When the time was right, he would naturally jump out and give the enemy a fatal blow from behind.
"I'm on guard!" Rhett said loudly. He nocked an arrow and looked around vigilantly, guarding against any possible sneak attack.
In the face of a well-equipped team of adventurers, it was almost impossible to defeat or even kill them all in a head-on battle. For them, the most dangerous thing was the possible sneak attack of the enemy.
Just like the group of adventurers before, what really defeated them was not the charge of this heavily armored monster, but the joint sneak attack of the fire elementals, the earth monsters, and the spellcaster. If they were not flustered, according to their usual configuration, the outcome of the battle would still be unknown!
So, although Devore and Morton had to fight the seemingly fierce and powerful monster, in fact, the most important task in the team was not them, but Rhett.
He had to be vigilant and guard against the enemy's sneak attack; he had to protect their boss, Palin, and prevent this weak young mage from getting hurt; and he had to be ready to use the scrolls to escape at any time. It was really a heavy responsibility!
But they all neglected one thing.
Palin, who was protected in the middle, was not weak even though he was not old!
Looking at the heavily armored guy rushing over, Palin was not in a hurry. He took out the spellcasting materials from his portal bag with his left hand, and quickly drew a circle in the air with the wand in his right hand. With the power of the wand, he used the power of the wand to replace the spellcasting ceremony, and he chanted a spell.
A dark yellow light flew out from his hand and hit the ground in front of the enemy. In an instant, it spread out and turned into a layer of oil that was clearly visible under the dim light.
"Grease Spell!"
This spell could create an area covered in oil. If the enemy wasn't agile enough and didn't have the support of suitable spells, then they would be restricted in this area. If it was light, they would stumble and stumble all the way. If it was heavy, they would directly fall down. After getting up, they would continue to fall.
The fellow in heavy armor was clearly not an agile type. As soon as he stepped on the oil, there was a loud rumble, and he fell heavily to the ground, sprawling on his back.
"Well done!" cried Devore, delighted.
Grease wasn't a high-level spell, and even novice Mages could learn it. But how to use it in a timely and accurate manner in battle was not something that a novice mage could do.
Because he had been under their protection, Palin had never had the chance to show his strength. In addition, he was indeed very young, so the adventurers mistakenly thought that he was weak and was just a rich rookie.
However, his performance just now proved that he was definitely not as rookie as he looked. This dwarf teenager who seemed to be underage was a Spell Caster with decent strength.
This is really good news!
The adventurers' morale was greatly boosted, and at this time, Morton also completed his spell.
He shouted the name of the God of Light and raised his war hammer. The holy emblem on the war hammer emitted a dazzling light, and in an instant, a huge holy emblem appeared in the air, covering a large area around it.
The light of the holy emblem came and went quickly, but everyone could clearly feel a surge of power flowing into their bodies, making them stronger and more determined, and full of confidence in victory.
This was the power of war magic. The key reason why the God of Light could become the main god of the Human God System was because of his important priesthood and the exclusive spells that accompanied it.
The range of this divine spell was extremely wide. Not only did it cover his companions, but it also covered the enemies who were hiding in the surroundings.
But for the enemies, the effect of this divine spell was not to encourage and strengthen, but to weaken and suppress.
A muffled groan came from the shadows in the distance. Rhett's sharp eyes immediately looked in that direction and noticed that there was a figure moving slightly inside.
In the next moment, there was a flash of cold light. Lafur, who had already quietly sneaked behind the enemy, waved his dagger and gave a ruthless backstab!
This knife of his was really deep in the essence of the three words "steady, accurate, and ruthless." The knife went down all the way to the hilt, and he even twisted it in passing. If it was a body of flesh and blood, this knife would definitely be a fatal wound, and there might not even be time for rescue.
But as soon as the dagger was thrust out, Lafleur's expression changed dramatically. Without thinking, he let go of the dagger in his right hand and let go of his beloved weapon. He quickly retreated and jumped far away from the man like a frightened rabbit.
At the same time, he cried out involuntarily, "Lich!"
His voice was very loud, and at this moment, he shouted with all his might. His voice echoed in the cave, causing everyone's ears to buzz.
But they did not have time to complain, and their expressions all changed.
Lich? The kind of horrible monster that a spellcaster turned into in order to escape death?
Rhett's reaction was the fastest. Without thinking, he shot an arrow towards the black figure. He did not even bother to look at the effect of this arrow. With a backhand, he took out an arrow that emitted a milky white light from the quiver, drew the bow again, and with a swoosh, another arrow was shot.
His archery was very accurate, and both arrows hit the target. Not only did it interrupt the spell that the figure was about to cast, but the second arrow that contained a strong divine power also accurately hit the head.
The head was the weakness of most Liches!
Not only that, Rhett continued to draw his bow, and without hesitation, he shot out the precious holy arrows.
This kind of arrow cost a gold coin, and it was very powerful. The silver arrowheads could cause additional damage to many dark creatures, and all the arrowheads had been worshiped in the God of Light's temple for at least a month, and the priests and priests had specially prayed to them, giving them extra power to destroy evil.
Although the more fragile arrowheads were difficult to preserve in battle, and each arrow could only be used once, it was expensive. But against evil monsters, especially monsters of the death element, it was undoubtedly the most reliable weapon for archers!
Of course, the Lich was also a monster of the death element. Not only could the holy arrows cause great damage to it, but they could also make it unable to focus, and it could not cast a single spell.
Because Rhett was holding it back, everyone's battle became much smoother.
Devor exploded with divine power under the support of Morton's divine arts, and with a swing of his axe, he cut the heavily armored guy in half. There was a zombie inside the armor, and after being cut in half, it immediately emitted a terrible stench. It was as disgusting as the Stink Cloud spell. Palin used a spell to blow a cool breeze to dispel the terrible stench, saving everyone's noses.
And Morton seized the time to add another spell, causing the zombie to completely lose its vitality. It quickly turned into ashes, and it could no longer pose a threat to everyone.
After dealing with the zombie, they surrounded the Lich.
The unlucky Lich had obviously consumed a lot of magic power in the previous battle with the group of adventurers, and even the protective spells on its body were not able to be replenished in time. Under the hands of Rhett, who never missed his target, the Lich was in a sorry state. It let out angry howls again and again, but there was nothing it could do.
Of course, it had tried to escape, but Lafur, who had just jumped into the shadows, came out from behind it again. This time, he was holding a short axe, and the axe heavily chopped down on the Lich's neck.
The Lich's body was just a skeleton protected by magic. Although it was much stronger than ordinary skeletons, it was still seriously injured by the axe. Its head was not directly chopped off, but looking at its swaying appearance, it was obviously stunned.
Of course, Lafur would not let go of this opportunity. He raised his short axe again, and again … as if he was chopping a tree.
When he was slapped away by the Lich, Devor also rushed over. His Tauren's axe was not comparable to Lafur's small camping axe. He raised the axe with both hands, roared, and heavily chopped down on the Lich's head.
The Lich, who had been beaten dizzy by Rhett and Lafur, did not have time to react and was chopped in half by the axe. From the left shoulder to the right side of the waist, many bones were broken, and the body was also divided into two. The lower half of the body fell down, but the upper half still had some strength left, and it fell to the ground, still struggling.
At this time, Palin's spell came again. He cast the Ice Seal. A blue and white light shone on the remaining half of the Lich's body, and immediately turned into solid ice, freezing it.
"Morton!" Palin shouted. "Seal it!"
Morton, who was preparing the Holy Prayer, nodded and changed his previous plan. Through a lengthy prayer, he exerted Holy Power, causing a silver chain to shine brightly. Then, he used the chain to firmly bind the block of ice and the Lich inside.
This time, the Lich could not escape even if it had wings!
"Well, when we go back, send it to the temple to be purified." Morton breathed a sigh of relief. Because he was happy, he said a few more words. "By then, even if it has a phylactery, it can't escape!"
Monsters like the Lich were very troublesome. If it was simply killed, it could be resurrected after a period of time with the help of the phylactery it had prepared in advance. In order to truly kill it, one would need to use divine power, such as a holy weapon that could destroy evil. It was not a common item such as a holy arrow, but one that was famous throughout the world, a true divine weapon.
Of course, Heavenly Weapons were very rare, so in most cases, the choice of adventurers was to seal it and send it to the temple to be purified.
As for the mages, they tended to use magic to find the Lich's phylactery, and then use the phylactery to control the Lich.
Uh? Kill it? What a waste …
In Lafur, "Someone help me! I think I sprained my back! "Amidst the moans, everyone looked at each other and laughed.
They had won!
Not long after, they found five corpses not far away. Four belonged to the dead adventurers, one belonged to the Earthly Monster they had killed, and a pile of ashes in a bottle, which was the remains of the Fire Elemental.
Only then did they really feel relieved and put an end to this short but fierce battle in their hearts.
