That’s why the dead people who were bound to the Lich Lord were released once after another. Their bodies seemed to have reached their limit a long time ago, thus immediately decomposed into soil. This mean I have to be quick.
It was his wife who then replied to Aaron.
[In my remaining life, I will live as to not to make you two ashamed…. I, I can finally feel at ease.]
[Don’t you dare interrupt Aaron.]
I switched into bow form, and generate a magic arrow with my remaining magic power. I added dust attribute to the arrow, and aimed to the Lich Lord’s forehead.
[You’ll remain here, petrified.]
The arrow was released in a staggering speed, and hit the target. The petrification took effect almost instantly, to the point that it didn’t even have any time to shriek.
An terrifying stone statue of the Lich Lord was completed. Even if someone took it and tried sell it away, nobody will be willing to buy it since it looked like a cursed item. Good grief…it’s still terrible even after dying.
Afterward, came the excitement of the Gluttony Skill after consuming a crown tier monster as usual. It raged throughout my whole body. The soul of the Lich Lord seemed to be very delicious, all the crown tier monster I’ve come across so far are no match.
[Ku….uuuu]
As I caught my breath and took a look at Aaron, the sphere of light finally disappearing slowly. Aaron watched them depart solemnly.
[Please go ahead and wait for me. I still have something left to do, I’ll be there with you one day]
As if reassured after hearing his words, the two souls finally faded into darkness. Only Aaron and I left in this castle. The battle we had here felt like it was never happened.
When Aaron turned to me, he opened his mouth with a troubled face.
Aaron planned to rebuild this city. But first, we’ll have to exterminate all the monsters dwelling around here. I guess it will take overnight….no, with the scale of this city, it will take a few days.
But I’ll do it anyways. It’s my master’s request, so it’s my obligation to fulfill it as his disciple.
He’s a tough old man alright. But as far as I know, there is no magic to heal wound. So I’d rather that he doesn’t push himself too hard…..though I can’t ask about it to Aaron yet. But anyways I have auto recovery myself so I can work as hard as I want and still be fine.
He’s really tough….or perhaps old age simply made him stupider. While thinking about that, Aaron raised his voice.
Aaron was laughing out loud. Since I didn’t understand the reason, it only managed to confuse me.
As Aaron himself doesn’t know how it actually happened, he couldn’t give me a proper explanation about it.
I was whispering with Greed at the back when Aaron finally recovered from his initial happiness for being able to experience limit break.
Aaron went out of the castle, with chasing behind trying to tell him an impending issue.
As expected of Aaron. He knew that Myne had this weakness when it came to money, even if they barely talked to each other. With that 100 gold, I dare bet that she’d immediately forgive us for being late. I can already imagine her expression upon receiving the money.
With that problem solved, I’ll be able to fight to my heart’s content. I fully demonstrated the new stats I obtained after consuming the Lich Lord’s soul, getting ahead of Aaron.
Aaron and I ended up competing on who killed the most monsters. If this went on, it might actually take faster than I expected. Retaking the city from the undead and starting over.
