Chapter 883 - 860: Lord of Lies
"Who are you?!" the lich exclaimed in surprise, "Leave, this has nothing to do with you!"
The Raven Queen sneered disdainfully, unwilling to respond. But soon, her expression turned to surprise, not because of the lich, but because of Lancelot—the human knight had already charged forward, holding two treasured swords of varying lengths in his hands, while a trident formed from vines hovered around him like a massive flying serpent.
In fact, if she looked more closely, she would notice that this ’serpent’ had four eagle-like claws on its body, and its head even had two antler-like forks. However, the trident’s ability to fly was inherent to it and not due to Lancelot mastering a flying sword technique beforehand.
’Judgment! Judgment! Judgment!’ A passionate female voice echoed in everyone’s minds, ’Destroy the evil completely!’
’Even I’m getting excited because of your fervor,’ another male voice joined, sounding more pleased than thrilled, ’Ah, it appears we have a new companion...’
If a weapon had consciousness, would it simply observe the battle as a spectator as it’s wielded, or would it somehow join the fray? Only the weapons themselves knew the answer, but Lancelot could only hope for some encouragement from unseen allies. The location the Raven Queen had teleported him to was over three hundred feet from the lich, and he had to figure out a way to get past the dense throng of undead creatures within those three hundred feet before his weapons could strike the target.
"Stop him! Stop him!!"
Evidently, the lich recognized who had arrived, shouting loudly in an attempt to issue new commands to his minions. However, the anti-magic field severed all magical connections around, though it didn’t immediately turn the skeletons and zombies back into corpses. Most had been ordered to stay put, with only a small number near the defensive formation continuing their attacks.
Nevertheless, the presence of living beings triggered an instinctive counterattack from these undead creatures, but they posed almost no threat to Lancelot.
