Omega Summoner
chapter-241

The doom knight sensing that Adrian's attack would be cataclysmic in nature for the undead could no longer think of a way to counter the upcoming attack except for one. The doom knight looked at the token that the Arch Lich Malus has given it. The Arch Lich Malus told him to only destroy the ring when necessary and the doom knight did.

In a temple made of numerous bones of animals and humans, a lich in a regal looking robe could be seen sitting down. Its eye sockets suddenly lit up in a pale green light as it sees the effects of the token it gave to the doom knight manifest in front of it. The Arch Lich Malus did not do any ceremony and strode towards the door as it felt energy that is foreign even to it.

The destroyed fragments of the ring suddenly enlarged and formed into a gate made of skulls. A swirling form of energy is formed. The energy that Adrian collected in his two hands became unstable and he put both his hands together to combine the two spheres of energy in each hand.

The Nether Blast explosion is so massive that it wiped out all the undead near Adrian and even those faraway did not come out unscathed. The number of enemies that Adrian defeated with the Nether Blast are numerous that it made him level up twice even if he shared experience with other players that damaged the undead monsters.

Adrian also thought for sure that he got the doom knight or at least damaged it to appoint where it only needed a few bashings. His fight with the doom knight was at a stalemate since they had similar stats even with Adrian transformed in his true form. He can only be shocked at what he witnessed next.

A lich dressed in clothing more regal than a king could be seen standing in front of Adrian. The lich even conjured a barrier to protect him from the explosion that Adrian made. Adrian recognizes this lich because he has seen it once when one of the player dark mage uploaded a video on this specific lich.

"Arch Lich Malus" Adrian uttered and the Arch Lich turned his head towards Adrian.

"Demon!" The Arch Lich stated in a cold dark voice as he grabbed Adrian by the neck as Adrian is no longer in his true Netheros form.

Although Adrian is still wearing his Glamour, it seems that the Arch Lich can still see through the illusion of Adrian's skill. The Arch Lich looked at Adrian with intense hatred and rage that could easily kill someone. Adrian tried peeling off the skeletal arms of the Arch Lich but it seems that he cannot do that due to the skill of the Arch Lich that is affecting him.

[You have been affected by Arch Lich' Touch.]

[One percent of your health will be drained per second.]

[All your stats will be decreased by 50% due to the effect of the skill Arch Lich' Touch.]

[You are being strangled. You will die from asphyxiation if you cannot break free in one minute.]

Adrian could not break free from the hands of the Arch Lich because of his reduction in stats. All his soulbounds are also unsummoned as a side effect of undoing their nether form. Adrian could not even mutter the words needed to summon.

"It is quite funny that you demons still help those that have limited life despite them persecuting your kind." The Arch Lich stated misunderstanding why Adrian is helping the living.

Adrian actually smirked to the best of his ability because the Arch Lich misunderstood why he is there. That works for Adrian as the Arch Lich will not connect that he is helping the undead king from the shadows. Valar did tell them that Eldritch is looking for the undead king which is why he took the former as hostage.

Adrian put two and two together that Eldritch is somewhat helping the Arch Lich. Adrian knows the history of the undead and Eldritch being the Envoy of the Dark Gods will make sense to help the undead on the Arch Lich' side. Though it seemed Eldritch has an ulterior motive in helping the Arch Lich.

"I have always seen your kind to be a pest. When I regain my former subordinates, I will make sure to put the skulls of your kind in pikes. I will make sure the souls of your kind will be tormented for eternity." The Arch Lich Malus stated as his grip became tighter and tighter.

The living players seeing another boss type monster come in their location has charged towards the location. The Arch Lich upon seeing the waves of living coming towards him could only sneer as he conjured a bone casket to bound Adrian.

"Feeble mortals!" The voice of the Arch Lich reverberated which made the charging players stop in their location.

The voice of the Arch Lich is so terrifying that just hearing it made them get a stack of the fear status ailment. A fireball is then shot towards the Arch Lich despite some of the players freezing in fear. It seems that not everyone is affected by the fear. That person was either fearless or just plain stupid to not feel fear.

The Arch Lich looked towards the location where the fireball came from as he summoned a bunch of death knights to kill the offender. The fireball did not even hit the Arch Lich but his barrier but it made sure to punish those that disrespect it.

"Hear me, mortals. It will not take long for me to rule you once more. And this!" The Arch Lich stated as it pointed towards Adrian and once again strangling the latter in front of the living.

Adrian could be seen bloody all over but what made everyone surprised is that the Glamour now wore off. The Arch Lich tightened its grip against Adrian again and his wings unfurled. The players on the scene both casual and professional now see what Adrian's true form is.

"The demons try so hard to protect you useless mortals yet you continue to persecute them because of your so called justice." That was the last statement that Adrian heard as the Arch Lich finally crushed the former's neck.

[You have died.]

[Revival is not possible because the skill is in cooldown.]

[You will be transported to the Paradox Planes as that is your last safe zone.]

[You will experience a 10% drop in stats for three hours as penalty for death.]

[You lost 30% of your experience points as a penalty for your death.]
