《Rise of the Lich!》Chapter 39 - Wind and Fire Part 3*
Advertisement
"The Gods are strange and mysterious beings. Some of them are weak and only fools pray to them, but others are strong and mighty! Even though they don't seem to have a body or something like that, they are still able to manipulate the world and the beings within it. The mightier the god, the more often he does that.
This can especially be observed by looking at the High Gods. Nearly every single one of them manipulate the world ALL THE TIME! Which is not only fascinating to think about, but also terrifying.
It's not their strength that terrifies me. It's just that whenever I think about those all-mighty great beings I always find myself asking, who created them? “
-From Dean Serus 'God of Gods'
*Hikari (One of Kazes comrades) POV*
I use a beam of light to kill another Skeleton. I wonder, how many have I turned into dust already? To be honest I would have been more than enough to deal with those lowly minions! Seriously, the other two are practically not doing anything! Yamis shadows can't hurt these dark creatures at all and they don't care a lot about Mizus water either. Yami even got seriously wounded because he underestimated the riders! Because of that Mizu had to carry him away...
Anyway, there are not many enemies left so I should hurry it up and finish them. I wonder if Kaze and Kasai already killed the Necromancer. I heard some loud noises and saw a few explosions a while ago so they probably already finished him off.
"Heeeeeh? It looks like the Undead aren't a problem for you?" (Kaze)
I turn around and see Kaze standing a few meters away from me. I don't like him to be honest. He is strange, even for us elementals and I always get chills if he is near me. I swear to god it's because of those eyes. They are grey with a tint of green, but it's not the colour that irritates me. They just feel wrong.
"Heeeeeh? Why are you staring at me like that? Fell in love or something? If that's so I'm really going to regret what I just did. Actually, scratch that. I won't" (Kaze)
He flashes me an eerie smile. I really hate this guy.
"What are you bla-" (Hikari)
Suddenly, thousands of wind blades form a tornado around me that quickly gets smaller. Wait, why do I feel like I have a deja-vu?
"What the fuck are you doing?!" (Hikari)
This is his strongest ability, Bloody Storm! Why is he using it at me? Is this a joke? He can't be seriously trying to kill me right? The Royal Family has us bound to them, if he rebels he will simply be killed with a single thought!

"Stop it!" (Hikari)
Shit, I'll just kill him before he can kill me! I hope the Prince will believe me that he attacked first. I start collecting light to shoot at him, but suddenly it gets really dark. Well, it's night so it's not like it was bright before, but now all light vanishes.
"You are right, she really can't do anything now, huh?" (???)
"Heeeeeh? Why do you sound surprised? Didn't quite trust me, hm?" (Kaze)
"Of course I didn't. Anyway, let's wait for her to die in there. Are you sure you don't want me to bring her back? I can use as many strong followers as possible." (???)
"Nah, she and the other two are not like me. They are... normal I guess?" (Kaze)
"And you aren't?” (???)
"I enjoy killing." (Kaze)
"That just means you have a different hobby than them right? I wouldn't call someone abnormal just because of that” (???)
"…That's probably because you aren't normal as well Boneface." (Kaze)
"Call me Master, Lord, Great One or something like that from now on." (???)
"Heeeeeh? Seriously? How about Boss? Won't that be enough?" (Kaze)
"Hm? I guess that's fine as well." (???)
Is this stupid shit really the last thing I'm going to hear? Who is he talking with? That Necromancer?!
"Kaze! Why the fuck are you on his side?!" (Hikari)
"Heeeeeh? You don't have to be so angry you know. He made me a great offer! I can become undead, keep my soul, be freed from those Royal Assholes AND level up by killing humans from now on! All in all, that's a pretty nice deal!" (Kaze)
What? Does he want to be raised as an undead?! Won't he lose his mind then? And what does he mean with 'level up'? Minions can't do that! Shit.... my Health is dropping quickly...
What a shitty death.
*Sirius POV*
That went well.
I expected her to fight back a bit or something, but she really can't do anything without any light, huh? Dark Field is pretty useful. Anyway, Kaze is still grinning and laughing while looking at the bits of flesh that were once his comrade. This guy is kinda strange but he should prove useful.
"Two down and two more to go, huh?" (Sirius)
"Heeeeeh? Actually only one is down. And the other two won't show up." (Kaze)
"What?" (Sirius)
"We can feel each other. They will know I was involved in Hikaris death and flee. And Kasai ain't death. She's is just unconscious. I thought you knew that." (Kaze)

"Why didn't you tell me that? Will they able to find you after I linked you?" (Sirius)
"If what you told be is true, no." (Kaze)
"Can we recruit that fire boy? Is he like you?" (Sirius)
"Well, first of all SHE isn't. But we can still take her. She just likes fighting and is not loyal to the Royal Assholes so if you let her fight she'll be more than happy to follow you." (Kaze)
"Kasai is a girl? Wouldn't have guessed that in a hundred years..." (Sirius)
I notice that Doro came over after listing to out little talk here. He is looking pretty mad and is staring at me.
"Are you mad at her? I'll still link her you know?" (Sirius)
Seems like he decided to change his strategy. Instead of looking at me madly, he now uses puppy eyes. Puppy eyes look incredibly disgusting on an Ogre. Even if they didn't, I'd still don't care.
Well, I guess a happy Ogre is still better than an unhappy one, right?
"How about this, since she's a girl go ahead and rape her. That's what Ogre like to do, right? Rape?" (Sirius)
He has a strange look on his face, like he forgot that was an option.
"Yes! Doro Smash!" (Doro)
Great, now every time he screams this stupid line I'll have to think about him raping his enemy.
"Heeeeeh? Are you serious? He is nearly three times bigger than her. She'll die. “
"I'll raise her anyway, right? So it doesn't matter. Which brings me to the next topic by the way. Ready to die?" (Sirius)
"I really hope you didn't lie..." (Kaze)
I walk towards my soon-to-be-link and pick up a rock on the way.
"What? Getting cold feet? Well just close your eyes then. I don't want to use any mana so this will take a while. “
"*Gulp*" (Kaze)
Kaze actually closes his eyes and I hit him with the rock on top of his head. And again. And again. And again. Well, My strength IS pretty low I guess. But I really don't want to waste mana. You can never know when someone else starts getting on your nerves. I suddenly hear a terrified scream. Seems like Doro also started, huh?
Approximately an hour later Kaze died. Well he looks horrible. Should I have told him you can't heal wounds after your death? Well he will be wearing a hat from now on. Otherwise I think I'll laugh whenever I see that 'Flathead'. Maybe that's karma for calling me Bonehead? Actually I don't think karma exists.
I would be so fucking dead otherwise.
I hear a very loud roar. That's the fifth time Doro 'finishes', huh? Is that Kasai even still alive? I REALLY don't want to take a look. Well, I revive Kaze and link him to me just how I did with Doro. The level of Soul Link already increased to 4 by the way. It seems like it gets stronger by simply having someone linked to you.
"I feel like shit... But hey, I still feel stuff! And I can even think! And open my own Statu- Wait, why did my level decrease so much? “
"Oh I forgot to tell you, people I raise are weaker than they were before, but don't worry. A month or two and you will be as strong as before." (Sirius)
"…I see." (Kaze)
"Anyway, let's get the other two. I think I'll take a break from attacking villages for now. I don't want the Prince to sent anyone whose actually a threat, so we'll return home to my wife for now." (Sirius)
"Heeeeeh? You have a wife? Seriously? Is she a Skeleton as well? I'm gonna cry for you if that's so.” (Kaze)
"So you are fucking annoying even after you died, huh? And no, she's not undead. She is completely normal!" (Sirius)
"I'm actually kinda impressed. Is she beautiful?" (Kaze)
"Hm? I guess so? I like her eyes. Especially the third and forth one." (Sirius)
"Oh, I see! The- WAIT WHAT?" (Kaze)
I don't react to his strange question and go look for Doro. I find him and the redhead quickly and am surprised. Doro is lying on the ground while Kasai is riding him, with fires in her eyes as if they were fighting.
"HAHAHA! WHAT?! You think just because you are a bit stronger and bigger then me you'll win? You may have bested me in our last fight, but this one will be a victory for me!" (Kasai)
…
I look at her stomach which is bulging out extremely and looks like it will explode soon whenever she goes down.
…
If I had a stomach, I'd probably puke right now.

8 162The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
