Chapter 1074: Ganging up
Chapter 1074: Ganging up
Since I knew that I had the power to suppress the dark energy of the lich, I didn’t hold back at all.
There wouldn’t be a second chance if I were to let this chance go now.
It was now or never while the lich had been caught off guard.
So raising the staff, I gathered more earth tendrils. Only this time, I didn’t gather them around the lich, but rather around the net of dark energy that the lich had put around us.
The moment that the earth tendrils made contact with the net of dark energy, the same thing happened where the dark energy was immediately purified by the earth tendrils. Even if the net tried to restore itself while it was being purified, it just wasn’t a match for the divine energy that was contained within the earth tendril.
At the same time, I wrapped Joan in the earth tendril as well.
Joan was surprised, I had patted her to calm her down and let her know that it was alright.
The other reason why she relaxed again was because she could feel the pain disappearing from her body.
It wasn’t that she was being numbed, it was that the corrupted spots of her body were being cured by the earth tendrils. Just like how the earth tendrils had purified the net of dark energy, it did the same with the black spots that were all over Joan’s body.
Even if the dark energy had entered Joan’s body, it didn’t seem to matter as the divine energy inside of the earth tendrils were still able to purify the dark energy from her.
Eventually, Joan was able to recover from the corruption that the lich had put in her.
At this time, it seemed like the earth tendrils around the lich were losing their power and it seemed like it was about to break free. It was just too bad for the lich that I was already prepared for this as I surrounded it with even more earth tendrils.
At the same time, I could see that everyone was slowly pushing back the undead.
I had been waiting for all of them to push back the undead that was attacking them so that we could do it together.
“Attack all together! Don’t hold anything back! We need to destroy this lich or it’ll never end!” I shouted out loud all of a sudden.
Klein’s group and Alidus were all caught off guard by me suddenly shouting this, but that only lasted for a second as they suddenly stopped holding back.
They had been holding back a bit of their strength since they didn’t know if they would need that bit of strength to escape. But since I gave them the order, they decided not to hold back anymore and go all out with me.
“Die!” All of them shouted as they released their attacks.
First it was the flame breaths from the wyverns that rained down on the lich.
Then it was Alidus who swung his club from afar at the lich, which created a blue wave of energy that flew out in front of him. It seemed that he had been holding back this special attack the whole time, even when facing the Death Knight.
When all of that was over, the lich was revealed with a crack on its skull.
Though the lich wasn’t able to move or use its dark energy to cast its spells, it was still surrounded by a layer of that dark energy. That layer of dark energy was a natural form of protection for the lich that stopped the attacks for it.
But the fact that there was a crack on its skull showed that these attacks did have an effect.
“Keep going!” I shouted as I raised even more earth tendrils from the ground to surround the lich.
Though as I did this, I could feel myself feeling a bit faint.
The Staff of Earth still had a terrible mileage…
“You…You…You lower creatures! You dare use these tricks and gang up on me!” The lich roared in an enraged voice.
When it was put in a helpless situation like this, it had completely lost its temper and wanted to rampage. The problem was that the tendrils of earth that were filled with divine energy that surrounded it was completely suppressing the lich.
It seemed that no matter what it tried, it wasn’t able to break free.
It really wasn’t able to do anything but defend itself.
Klein and the others had hesitated a bit when they heard the lich roar out like this since they were worried that it might try something, but seeing that its bark was much worse than its bite, they knew that this lich wasn’t able to do anything.
That spurred them on even more as they started releasing all kinds of different attacks at the lich.
With the way that the lich was surrounded, it really seemed like we were ganging up on something helpless.
But one shouldn’t forget that this was a powerful lich.
If it wasn’t for the divine powers of a god that was supporting us, then it would have been impossible for us to suppress the lich like this.
So even if the Staff of Earth had terrible mileage, I was grateful that I had this staff at this time.
It was the only thing that could suppress the lich and the only thing that could be depended on to take this lich down.
The lich’s roars slowly became weaker and weaker as the purple light in its eyes dimmed.
It really seemed like it was losing more and more of its power as the dark energy around it faded and there were more and more cracks that were forming on the lich’s bones.
It seemed like at this rate, it was a matter of time before the lich died.
The lich also knew this, so it couldn’t help saying in a voice filled with aggrievement, “How could this be? How could I have been stopped by lowly humans?!”
