Looking at the tribal garrison in front of him, which was more complete than an ordinary village, Luka was only slightly surprised. He would not feel a pity if he really wanted to destroy this place.

Compared with these, Luka is more concerned about the meaning of the Goblin King's continuous escape into the depths of the cave. Is there any other exit here, or is there some prepared trap?

Just when Luka thought that the Goblin King was playing some conspiracy and was planning to lure them deeper into the cave, he noticed that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The front of the dark cave became bright, and then the Goblin King was seen standing on a high altar. There were four or five tall stone pillars around the altar, and at the top of each pillar there was a strange skull emanating from it. The faint blue firelight.

The altar is more than four meters high and is made up of a large number of bones, both goblins and humans, and even mixed with the remains of some animals. In the middle is a black hexagonal stone square pillar that looks like a coffin. It looks extremely weird and terrifying.

Damn, isn’t there a hidden boost?

Looking at the huge square pillar in the middle of the bone altar, Luka suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Could it be that the reason why the goblins here have developed such a level of civilization is related to this square stone pillar?

After all, the mainstream monster illustrations are written by authoritative people and are used by adventurers on the mainland. If there is such a big deviation in the information about low-level monsters like goblins, it should have been discovered and corrected long ago.

"This altar looks a little strange, please be careful."

Faced with this situation where unknown dangers may exist, Luka thought for a moment and decided to ask the girls not to continue the pursuit.

However, before Luka finished speaking, he saw Betty rushing towards the Goblin King, but she was too fast and had no time to stop him.

The Goblin King standing in the center of the altar looked at Betty, who was still charging towards him, and suddenly made a move that Luka and others did not expect at all.

It neither chose to escape nor use a weapon to block the attack. Instead, it waved its left hand vigorously. The blade wrapped around the iron chain drew an arc in the air and struck directly on its right shoulder. A huge wound was cut, and blood continued to pour out and drip onto the ground.

This guy... crazy?

Betty, who was halfway through the rush, couldn't help being slightly stunned when she saw this scene, but her movements didn't pause at all. She rushed up to the altar while the Goblin King was slashing at its own body, and then swung her right fist into a circle and hit it with all its strength. The belly of the Goblin King.

"boom!"

Faced with Betty's full blow, even the huge Goblin King was sent flying backwards.

However, Betty did not stop because of this. Instead, she chased after him. She grabbed the chain on the Goblin King's left hand and used the force to jump up. Then she bent her right leg and kicked it in the head with a whip. .

"Pfft!"

A slender crack spread quickly along the edge of the Goblin's ear, and then the Goblin King heard a painful cry. His entire left ear was kicked out, and his body was hit hard. On the square stone pillar in the center of the altar.

Although he also had high-level strength, the Goblin King was completely unable to fight in front of Betty who entered a violent state. He was seriously injured almost in an instant and fell dying under the stone square pillar.

Is this the end?

Looking at the Goblin King who seemed to have lost his ability to fight, Luka, who was originally worried that something would happen, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe I'm worrying too much, this guy is pretty easy to deal with.

However, just when Betty pulled off the iron mask on the Goblin King's face and raised her fists to end its life, she saw the Goblin King turning his head to look at the stone pillar behind him and gently pressing it with his left hand. He walked up with a strange expression on his face.

The expression seemed more like an apology than reluctance.

"Sorry, teacher."

The Goblin King used his last bit of strength to speak hoarsely and feebly, and then fell unconscious.

As it fell, a large amount of blood from Cong's wound seeped into the gap at the bottom of the stone pillar.

The next moment, a dazzling red light burst out from inside the stone pillar, shining through the gaps, as if something terrible was brewing and exploding inside.

"Dangerous, step back!"

Seeing this scene, Luka immediately warned Betty.

Betty, who was staying near the stone pillar, was originally stunned when she saw this scene. Now she regained her senses instantly after being yelled by Luka, and quickly retreated backwards.

Although she didn't know what the red light was about, the bear people's natural combat intuition told her that the stone square pillar was very dangerous.

Chapter 96 Lich

"You should also retreat quickly!"

Luka turned to the other team members and shouted, although they are still some distance away from the bone altar, who knows where it will be affected after it explodes?

Others may not know it clearly, but as a magician, Luka can feel that from the moment the Goblin King's blood flowed into the square stone pillar, a terrifying magic power began to condense in it, and it became more and more powerful.

Under the influence of this powerful magic power, Luka felt that his breathing was much more difficult.

After receiving the warning, Betty immediately retreated a lot further, while Ruka also led the remaining teammates to move farther away with all their strength.

But obviously, they were still slow after all. Just when Luka and his group had just evacuated less than 20 meters away, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed from the center of the giant square pillar, followed by a strong shock. With the altar as the core, it spread, and with violent shaking, a huge rock with a diameter of five meters from the top of the cave crashed down.

If Wei Yin hadn't picked up Luka and flew to the side with quick eyesight and hands, Luka would have almost been hit by the boulder.

"Cough cough cough cough...what the hell is this?"

Luka, who was choked by the dust, couldn't help coughing a few times, and then looked at the bone altar again. The huge hexagonal stone square pillar that was originally located in the center of the altar had been blown to pieces, leaving only fragments on the ground.

On the fragments, a skeleton can be seen quietly suspended in mid-air.

The skeleton was not too big and looked like it belonged to a human being. It was covered in a tattered robe. It was too old to recognize the pattern on it.But from the crystal tiara on its head and the gemstone ring on its finger, it is not difficult to guess that it must have been a powerful magician during its lifetime.

But now it has nothing to do with the magician. Whether it is the eyes burning with the blue soul flame or the black mist condensed on the soles of the feet, it hints to Luka and others that it is an undead.

"The lich... is actually a lich."

Looking at the floating skeleton in front of him, Luka's body began to tremble slightly, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

According to records, some powerful mages will look for various ways to continue to survive when their life span is about to end. One of the most common methods is to transform themselves into lichs.

The principle is also very simple. It is to use magic to transform one's body so that it can separate from the body and obtain a certain ability to independently carry the soul, and then cut off part of one's soul to make a "life box", so that the soul can adapt to the relatively weak bones. body.

But this not only requires extremely high attainments in undead magic, but the whole process often takes dozens or even hundreds of years and tens of thousands of biological flesh and souls to complete. It can be said to be an extremely evil ritual that all intelligent civilizations cannot tolerate.

So it’s not surprising.

Looking at the lich in front of him, Luka connected the whole thing in an instant.

No wonder these goblins are so much smarter than normal goblins and call them "teachers". I'm afraid this guy deliberately used some method to improve the intelligence of these goblins and taught them various techniques before his death. Command them to prepare the flesh, blood and soul needed for the ritual, and protect the bone altar from being destroyed.

This abacus is indeed very smart, because the low-level adventurers are unable to defeat the Goblin King and go deep into the lair, and the high-level adventurer team does not look down upon this place. It is indeed a very suitable hiding place.

"It shouldn't be...the ceremony hasn't been completed yet."

The Lich raised his arm and looked at it carefully for a moment with empty eyes, his tone seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Then, it turned around and saw the Goblin King and Luka's group who had been blown away into the distance, and immediately understood what had happened.

"So that's it, a nasty mouse broke in..." The lich opened its mouth. Although its tongue and throat had long since rotted and disappeared, it could still make a low and cold sound with the help of magic power.

"How dare you interrupt my ceremony, you will pay the price!"

After saying that, the Lich raised his withered hands and grabbed a handful of the void towards Luka. The surrounding air suddenly solidified, and then a frost spear about three meters long appeared out of thin air in its hands.

"go!"

After sensing that the opponent's strength was at the master level, Luka gave the retreat order to the girls without saying a word, and then ran towards the entrance of the cave along the original path.

However, before they could take two steps, the Lich threw the frost spear in his hand on the ground at the entrance of the cave.

As the spear exploded, the once solid ice wall quickly condensed, directly blocking the retreat of Luka and his party.

"Asshole, break it open for us!"

When Betty saw this, she roared and punched the ice wall.

However, this full-force punch only left a hole and a few cracks in the ice wall, but did not directly break it.On the contrary, Betty's fingers were frostbitten by the cold air escaping from the ice. She screamed and shrank back in pain.

"The power is good, but that's it. If your body is made into a zombie, it would be very suitable to become my new guard."

"Stop struggling, you can't escape!"

The Lich smiled sinisterly, then waved his hand, and sharp ice edges quickly condensed in front of him, and then shot towards Luka and the others like a heavy rain.

"Damn it...everyone stand together!"

Since the number of ice edges condensed by the lich was too much, there was no room to dodge in the not-so-wide cave. Luka could only ask the girls to gather together to resist the lich's attack.

But even so, the girls and Luka still had some wounds scratched by the ice. Although they were not serious, they clearly reflected the gap in strength between the two sides.

Even though it was a four-on-one situation, Luka's side had already lost the battle before the Lich took full action.

"It's really unlucky to encounter such a thing..."

After barely surviving the icicle rain, Luka immediately took out a few bottles of potions from his body during the lich's attack and threw them to the girls. Then he took out a gorgeous scroll and tore it open directly.

This is a high-end scroll that he bought from the underworld at a huge price to save his life at critical moments. It will naturally come in handy now.

Luka didn't dare to have any reservations against such a powerful enemy that could kill him if he was not careful.

Chapter 97 Hard fight

Along with Luka's spell, the scroll burst into brilliant light, and then a hot breath poured out from the scroll, wrapping everyone in a circle of blazing red flames.

Under the illumination of the flames, the girls were pleasantly surprised to find that the small scratches on their bodies had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the scars had faded a lot, and they could feel a steady stream of power gushing out of their bodies.

This is the master-level magic scroll "Holy War Fire" that Luka bought for a sky-high price of [-] gold coins. After using it, it can greatly improve the abilities of himself and surrounding allies, and it can also give resistance to negative states. It is very Powerful group buffs.

"What a powerful flame... As expected of Luka, he prepared so well in advance."

The girls showed admiration on their faces and praised Luka one after another.

"There's no need to talk nonsense like this. Get everything ready. We have to attack." Luka raised his right hand, pointed it at the lich and started chanting a spell.

"Wei Yin, you and I interrupt the Lich's spell-casting rhythm and cover Betty and Erin to rush over!"

"I know, dear, just leave it to me." Wei Yin narrowed her eyes and licked her lips, then her whole skin instantly turned pink, and the succubus wings behind her also spread out.

A long-range confrontation with a lich with the strength of an archmage is tantamount to seeking death. Melee combat is the only correct choice for one's side.

And because the body is corrupted and only the skeleton is left, the lich's close range ability is even much worse than that of the average archmage, which is considered its biggest weakness.

"Interesting... Goblins, humans, bears, and even a succubus. Are humans in the outside world so tolerant of demi-humans and monsters now?" Seeing this scene, the blue flames in the Lich's eyes burned even more. After a few moments, it stretched out its hand again and drew an ice blue circle in mid-air.

"After killing you, I will read your souls."

Immediately afterwards, it recited a strange and obscure mantra.

As it chanted, a huge spiritual pressure suddenly fell on Luka and the girls, as if it was going to completely crush their will.

"Oops...this is a soul attack."

Realizing this, Luka immediately gritted his teeth, struggled to hold on to the pressure of mental pressure, and tried to fight against it.

Perhaps because of soul penetration, Luka's soul is much tougher than ordinary people. This was something he discovered when he led Yilin and others to attack a soul-sucking demon.

At that time, after the soul-sucking demon discovered that Luka was the weakest person and also a magician, he directly mobilized all his spiritual power to attack Luka. As a result, Luka only felt his head was slightly dizzy and recovered.

Although the Lich's soul attack was stronger now, it did not reach Luka's limit. With a roar, Luka directly crushed the Lich's attack that penetrated his soul.

"Interesting, you only have mid-level strength but you can break through my soul blast... But even if you can withstand it, your companions don't seem to have this ability." The lich saw that Luka had forcibly carried away his soul. Attack, he couldn't help but praise Luka.

However, even so, the crisis for Luka and his party was not over. Luka himself was able to resist the Lich's soul attack with the strength of his soul, but the situation of the girls was not so optimistic.

Betty was holding her head and roaring in pain, even smashing several rocks around her with her head. In order to maintain her will, Erin directly inserted the sword into the left side of her waist.Only Wei Yin's situation was slightly better. As a succubus who was good at illusions and mental attacks, she could barely maintain her basic consciousness.

They must find a way to restore their condition, otherwise Luka's own combat power alone would be tantamount to wishful thinking against the terrifying lich in front of him.

"disperse!"

Luka activated the magic power in his whole body, raised his hands and launched dispersing magic on Betty who was hitting her head on the ground. However, after a burst of faint white light, it had no effect at all.

Obviously, with his ability as an intermediate magician, it is impossible to help others relieve the soul attack of the lich.

"Just struggle and let me see what else you can do." The Lich just watched Luka's actions coldly and did not continue to attack.For it, which has been sleeping for a hundred years, watching an interesting struggle after waking up can be regarded as entertainment.

What an arrogant stinker... But you have to pay a price for your arrogance.

Luka felt unhappy after listening to the Lich's words. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had something in his hand that could break the current situation.

Since people who fall into a coma can be awakened directly by the "whip of love", it may also be effective for girls who are currently in mental chaos.

Thinking of this, Luka quickly took out the black whip and struck Betty directly with lightning speed.

What are you doing, are you crazy?

Seeing Luka's sudden strange behavior, even the lich who had lived for hundreds of years couldn't help but fall into brief doubts.

However, the Lich's doubts did not last long, because what happened next made it so shocked that its jaw dropped.

After Luka's long whip hit Betty, Betty, who was hitting her head on the ground, suddenly shuddered and let out a gasp. Then she stopped moving, holding her head and wailing, as if her soul The pain was completely gone.
