《Rise of the Lich!》Chapter 6 - Tomb of Alzu'rak Part 4*
Advertisement
Well, let’s ignore this ominous bad feeling for now. If what Yuna said is correct, I’m on the final floor of this dungeon right now. Let’s what I’ll find down here.
I walk to the door Yuna was leaning on. This huge door behind the little meat mountain that was once known as the Sword princes is covered in blood and gore. I try to push it open with my whole weight, but fail.
Does this door really have to be this big? It's at least six meters high and half as wide. I walk back a couple of meters and tackle the door with my whole strength.
* Crash *
…
Great, I shattered my shoulder and the door barley moved. After eating some more bones I decide to use magic in order to open this door, instead of breaking more of my bones. Oh yeah, while we're at it let's take a look onto all of my new spells!
Cold Chains
Summon Chains that have Cold touch infused within them, freezing the mana of your enemy.
Frost Time
Increases the damage done by Frost spells for a few seconds. 24 hours cooldown.
Ice Breath
Breath Cold winds out, which are able to freeze things. No costs.
Soul Shackle
Bind a Soul to the mortal World! This allows you to create Soulstones by infusing the soul into an empty mana crystal.
Ice Infusion
Infuse an Object with Ice, turning whatever magical or elemental damage it deals into frost damage.
By infusing a Soulstone with ice you can create a Cold-Soul
Lich Mastery (passive)
increases your Knowledge based on the Level of the skill. You level this skill by consuming Soulstones.
Interesting. The skills giving to me by my class are pretty simple and useful combat skills.
The Lich skills are pretty strange though. They all involve 'Soul Stones' in some way. I'm not sure how useful this is going to be since I have no idea what knowledge even does! I only know that high mages have this stat, but what does it do? Also, Cold-Soul? Doesn't this sound like my Title? What does a Cold-Soul do? I really need to do some experiments...

Anyway, let's get this door open.
“Freeze my Soul: Frost Time!”
After activating Frost Time, I use Ice Shards a couple of times until the door is open wide enough for me to slip right through it.
Then, I suddenly feel fear for a short amount of time until it gets burned away by the black flame of my hate. The reason this fear is obviously the 'Endboss' that stands in front of me. I have no idea what this abomination is supposed to be.
The boss is basically a huge centipede. Its body is made out of 50 or more humanoid torsos and each of his 100+ legs are made of 2 or 3 human legs and arms combined. Well I guess I now know what that madman I met a couple hours ago was doing down here.
This... thing is looking towards me right now. It actually has a single Head attached at the last torso. I don't know whose head this once was, but man was he ugly.
Did Yuna actually fight this thing? Alone?
What a fool.
I walk around the centipede in a big curve and walk towards the door in the back of the Boss room. Luckily, this door is a simple small wooden one. I open it and enter the room behind it. I find myself in a small corridor, splitting up at the end. I go the left way first. For those wondering, why left first? Because I know that the right way at the end of a dungeon is always the teleporter to get out.
After walking on the left way for a while I come across another room with an open door. The room inside is a simple study room with a lot of books and a skeleton lying on the ground. The skeleton is holding a book in his hands.
“Good day my sir! Sorry for interrupting your nap!”

…
“Sir? You alright?”
…
Okay, looks like he really is dead. I had to be sure! I don't want to face whoever made this dungeon. Well, let's take his book and take look inside.
You found the Tome of Sirius, Grand Necromancer of Alzu'rak! Do you want to Absorb it and acquire Sirius' name? Y/N
Absorb a book? Take over a name? I never heard of anything like that. Well, I guess Sirius is an okay name. Let's take it and hope I'll get anything out of it.
You took the name of Sirius! +1000 Knowledge!
Great, +1000 to a stat of which I have no idea what it's purpose is. Well better than nothing I guess.
For now, let's sit down and read those books here, it's not like I have anything better to do
This may take a while...
* Third Person POV *
Luciferius, King of the Demons is sitting on a round table. He takes a look at the other council members and frowns.
“We really need to do something about the missing spaces.” (Luciferius)
“You don't say, Fuck-Horne! And what have you planned? It's not like a replacement for Thortor is going to appear out of nowhere! And the Throne of Lust has been empty since ages!” (A small girl)
Luciferius ignores the insult that got thrown at him by the little vampire and continues speaking.
“Then we simply have to find new Kings!” (Luciferius)
“And how? They didn't just kill Thortor, they also made sure his whole race dies! And no embodiment of lust is able to survive very long!” (A Being made out of purple smoke)
“Then we just have to look for a new race to join our ranks! What about the Dulaiich? Or the Wights?” (Luciferius)
“No way the Wights are going to join us, those pale fuckers are way too dumb for an alliance!” (A small girl)
“Hm, the Dulaiich could be a pretty good option though.” (An old man)
“Ew, NO! I don't want those ugly shits crawling around here!” (A small girl)
“DAMN IT SAPHIRE! Could you stop swearing for once?! It's really unpleasant to see a little girl speak such words!” (An old man)
“Make me stop, bitch!” (a small Girl)
“Silence! We have to focus!” (Luciferius)
“Who the fuck are you, to tell me what to do?!” (a small Girl)
“She is indeed right, you do not lead us.” (A being made out of purple smoke)
“Yeah, why don't you shut up? Hihihi.” (A boy made out of shadows)
“I also dislike it to be yelled at” (An old Man)
“…” (Luciferius)
The Demon King closes his eyes and sighs, as he realizes that this going to be a long meeting.
