Chapter 1077: Lich’s nightmare (2)

There was no time for me to think about what was happening either as the giant lich didn't seem to stop what it was doing.

After missing me with one hand, the lich switched to the other hand and tried to grab me.

It was just too bad for the giant lich that it was moving slowly and it was so big that it was quite easy for me to dodge out of the way. It took no effort at all on my part to move out of the way of the giant bone hand that came down at me.

I didn't understand what was happening or what the lich was doing.

After all, if it was the lich, then why didn't it just use its dark energy to grab me.

Why was it relying on a crude method like trying to catch me with its hands like this? Especially when it was clear that this just wasn't working.

It didn't seem to make any sense at all.

The more that I thought about this, the more that this seemed like some kind of dream... Then I remembered what happened after we returned from the fight with the lich.

I had fallen unconscious from overusing my mana by continuously using the Staff of Earth during the fight with the lich. That had caused me to lose consciousness as soon as we had returned behind the walls.

So did that mean that this was all a dream?

But if it was, why would I dream about the lich and it trying to catch me like this?

None of this made any sense at all...

While I was distracted thinking about this, the lich suddenly changed what it was doing. Instead of reaching down towards me to grab me like it had been doing this entire time, the lich suddenly brought both hands around me so that it would cup me in its hands rather than grabbing me.

With the way that it did this, the lich was able to trap me and there wasn't a way for me to run.

I couldn't do anything as the lich's bony hands came around me and it seemed like I was trapped inside of a cage formed by its hands. That was just how big the lich was that it was able to form a cage with its hands like this.

Once I was caught, I looked up at the lich to see what it would do now that it had caught me. The lich that had been complaining about how it had been taken down by lowly humans the entire time suddenly stopped complaining about this.

I could see the purple flames in its eye sockets looking down at me.

As it looked at me, it almost seemed like it was looking at some kind of product or some kind of prey.

After a long silence, the lich finally spoke.

"I've finally caught you. Now, let me have your body."

I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this, but I knew that there was something wrong with this, so I started looking around for a way to escape. It was just that with how tightly the lich had closed its hands, it didn't seem like there was a way out for me.

After the lich said this, the dark energy that had been missing the entire time finally showed itself.

It was weaker than before, but the dark energy came from the lich's hands and was slowly creeping towards me. It was as if it wanted to enter my body with the way that it was approaching me.

When I saw this, I finally figured out what was happening.

There was no way that this was just a dream, it must be that there was something left inside of the Orb of the Dead that my Orb of the Dead absorbed.

If I had to guess, it was most likely a portion of the lich's essence that was left inside of the Orb of the Dead.

That Orb of the Dead should have been with the lich for a long time, so it wouldn't have been strange if a part of the lich entered the orb.

In that case, that part of the lich was now trying to take over my body now that its main body had been destroyed. The place that we were in should be a representation of my mind and this giant lich should be the essence that was left behind by the lich.

If I allowed this dark energy to enter me...it was hard to say if I would be able to remain as I was.

There was no doubt that it would be dangerous to let this dark energy near me.

Only...what was I supposed to do here?

I didn't have a single thing on me, so it wasn't as if there was anything for me to fight with.

The only thing that came to mind was that this place was inside of my mind, so I should have some kind of power here...

Right?

"Back!" I shouted at the dark energy that was approaching me, doing my best to will the dark energy away from me. However, it didn't seem like I was able to push this dark energy away with just my mind.

The dark energy seemed to creep closer and closer towards me, as if it was about to take over at any moment.

Before I could say anything else though, there was something that appeared that stopped the dark energy right in its tracks. There was this layer of white light that appeared around me that immediately started pushing back the dark energy.

With the way that the dark energy disappeared when it made contact with that layer of white light, it was almost as if this dark energy was being purified by the white light.

I didn't understand where this layer of white light came from at first, but then I noticed that there was something that was glowing on my hand.

"The Mark of God?"
