Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1539 - 1370: Ambushing the Enemy 3

”Miss Alice!”

Alex called out hurriedly. Alice instantly pushed her hand forward and blasted a silver-whitish beam from her palm that struck the ground around the Lich. Then, the silver-whitish beam expanded and washed away the pitch-black runes on the Lich.

”All settled!”

He heaved an inward sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had made Alice prepare for the spiritual spell, Dimension Blast. Dimension Blast could disrupt and destroy a teleportation spell and the victim wouldnʼt be able to use its teleportation spell for some time. However, this would only be effective after the victim had begun casting its teleportation spell.

Only an experienced player like Alex could instantly detect the Lichʼs intentions from its moves.

Since the Lichs couldnʼt escape anymore, Alex wouldnʼt need to hold back now. He unleashed his strength on the blade that punctured the Death Knight in a single brandish.

[Alexʼs Sword Art Special Style: Meteor!]

Thatʼs an afterimage!

Dazzling, meteor-like blade rays erupted and engulfed the Death Knight. This time, the Death Knight couldnʼt defend itself anymore. It clutched its long sword helplessly as the meteor-like rays continuously slashed its pitch-black armor.

The sword in its hands shattered and as though a signal to the blade rays, they coalesced into one enormous, dazzling blade of light that struck and pierced into its body.

Boom!

The Death Knight collapsed to the ground lifelessly. Alex shifted his attention to the Lich. He didnʼt need to worry about his back with Alice, Marlene, and Scarlett supporting him. He darted forward and skimmed across the snowfield with his flickering blade.

Ever since Aliceʼs Dimension Blast disrupted the Lichʼs teleportation, it knew that something was gravely wrong. It raised its bone staff and floated to midair hurriedly. The four Specters around it transformed into a strong gale that assisted in its retreat. It was apparent that they were fleeing!

At this moment, Madelineʼs brows twitched.

”Itʼs our turn.”

”Attack!”

Fred couldnʼt wait any longer. He raised his sword and charged forward. Selena and Ben jumped out from their concealment with the remaining three soldiers and formed a row to stop the Lich from escaping.

The Lich was taken aback, but it swiftly pointed its finger forward and emitted a black ray of light at Fred.

”Waa!”

Fred shrieked in horror, but he swiftly rolled aside safely, struck his blade into the snow, and slashed upward.

”———!”

The fluttering snow blocked the Lichʼs line of sight. Even though Fred appeared as a careless person, he was actually experienced in battles. But, this was to be expected since he had led his men in the Northern mountain battles. However, he was too inexperienced in dealing with a Lich.

The Lich didnʼt slow down. As an Undead Creature, it had a unique way of viewing this world unlike humans. Therefore, the snow didnʼt affect it too much. It wasted no time and swung its arms to sweep the snow away. However, Ben and the others had already surrounded it.

The Lich let out a snort. It clapped its hands and a black flare emerged before it. Thick billows of smoke burst out from the black flare and formed human shapes that held magic blades in their hands while their eyes emanated an ice-cold radiance.

They looked as though human-shaped clouds wielding weapons and pouncing on everyone.

”Itʼs the Nightmare Warriors! Theyʼre non-physical creatures! Donʼt get too close to them! Attack the coalesced point in their foreheads!”

Selena yelled out and raised her arms.

”Ice blades shatter my enemy!”

The earth trembled. Sharp, crystal-clear ice blades burst out from the ground, struck the Nightmare Warriors, and ripped through two of them. However, they merely took two steps back and restored their damaged body.

Selena gritted her teeth. Even though she didnʼt have experience in facing Undead Creatures, she had heard a lot about them. She knew that the Nightmare Warriors were tough to defeat unless they could take down their summoner or strike the only coalesced magic point on their foreheads.

ʼBut… Oh no!ʼ

They werenʼt here to deal with the Nightmare Warriors! She lifted her head hurriedly and spotted the Lich flying across them. At the same time, Fred emerged after breaking free from the Nightmare Warriors.

”Make way, Selena!”

Fred shouted and raised his sword that was shimmering in a green brilliance of wind. Then, he brandished.

The green, wind-elemental gale whizzed like a cheetah leaping in midair with its widened mouth and razor-sharp teeth—this was the swordsmanship which he took pride in: Wind Blade.

However, the Lich didnʼt stop as three spinning bone shields emerged around it. At this moment, the green wind cheetah crashed into them and shattered into light dust instantly. On the other hand, the shields cracked into bits.

”Hmm?”

Selena stared blankly. As a Mage, she was well aware that the bone shields were one of the most common spells of the Necromancers and on the contrary, the bone shields cast by the Liches in the Saint Realm were extremely solid. She was clear that Fred strength was in the Basic Grandmaster Stage, where he had been pacing back and forth for years.

But now, it was almost unbelievable that his sword technique crushed the Lichʼs bone shield.

Or… Is this Lich an imitation?

”Heyaaaah!”

Fred arrived at the Lichʼs side as quickly as the wind cheetah.

The Lich didnʼt expect that its bone shields would be destroyed and Fred wouldnʼt let this chance off. He clutched his sword hilt with both hands and punctured the Lich with the razor-sharp blade.

ʼI did it!ʼ

Fred exclaimed in joy inwardly. However, he heard a crisp voice.

”Back off!”

That voice was rather familiar. It was the voice of the sleepy-looking young lady from before. Even though he didnʼt understand why he couldnʼt deal the final blow to the Lich, his sharp senses as a warrior made him withdraw his sword and retreat instantly.

At the same time, he felt a breeze blowing against his face and a sharp wind blade almost cut off his throat. He looked up and discovered the scarlet radiance emanating from the Lichʼs furious eyes. Even though he had heard of how terrifying it was to deal with the Undead Creatures, one would only know it after personally dealing with them.

His blade attack was stored with wind elemental powers, where living creatures would be gravely injured if not dead by now. He didnʼt expect that the Lich was this unfazed and perhaps he wouldnʼt even know how he died if he darted forward to deal the killing blow.

Even though Fred had always been sloppy, he knew the crucial points in situations. He somersaulted, landed safely on the snowfield, and retreated vigilantly while fixing his gaze at the Lich.

The Lich had no intentions of continuing this battle. It took a step back with the thoughts of fleeing.

But it wasnʼt that simple anymore.

A golden, holy barrier in the shape of an arc emerged out of thin air and stopped the Lich from escaping. At that moment, Selena and Fred saw a person approaching the Lichʼs back.

Madeline casually rode her horse while holding onto the thick, black, hardcover book. Selena noticed that the pages were full of densely written words.

”…”

The Lich turned around and stared at Madeline with menacing, scarlet eyes. Then, it raised its staff.

At the same time, Selena saw that Madeline placed her right index finger on the page and spoke increasingly faster as though she was chanting. Several bone spears emerged above the Lich and shot toward Madeline.

”Be careful!”

Selena and Fred exclaimed in horror. They werenʼt that powerful, so they empathized with Madelineʼs strength because she appeared to be an ordinary human without impressive magical powers, swordsmanships, and constitution. The chances of her surviving this attack were slim.

Suddenly, Madeline pointed her index finger forward.

”———!”

The incoming bone spears shattered into dust and vanished entirely. Then, three bone shields emerged out of thin air and spun around her slowly.

Whatʼs this situation?

Selena and Fred were stunned unable to believe the situation before them. Their rationality told them it should have been impossible.
