Chapter 242: Is He from the Institute?
[With the Immortal Lich]
Logof, the immortal lich, turned away from the journal he had been reading when he felt something strange in the distance. His eyes narrowed as he felt an explosion echo through the world and he couldn’t help but wonder what the hell was going on out there. Logof had sent his subordinates to eradicate the wanderer who came into this world a few minutes ago, and he had already predicted that it wouldn’t take more than twenty minutes for him to be killed. Even though he was powerful, that didn’t mean he could handle an entire horde of monsters on his own.
But all those thoughts flew out the window the moment he realized that there was something off about this wanderer. The Immortal Lich could see through the eyes of his subordinates, and from what he had seen, it was obvious that this man had no intention of leaving! The Immortal Lich thought the man would try to fight against his subordinates so he could run away, but it was almost like the man was actively trying his best to stay in this world! The man was fighting his subordinates and slowly coming closer to the Lich’s location!
’Did he come here to look for me? Is he one of the Magical Institute’s researchers?’
The Lich had this thought as he stared out of the cave and into the darkened sky, but he decided that this couldn’t be the case. The Magic Institute would never send a single person to do their dirty work. They had a military that carried out their subjugation missions, and if they ever discovered where he was, then the Lich was sure that they would send hundreds of soldiers to apprehend him. That meant this man was an independent warrior who had his own reasons for fighting.
The Lich watched the battle between the intruder and his subordinates, and he couldn’t help but be impressed. The intruder had hundreds of subordinates of his own, and they were all obeying his orders perfectly.
’Were they summons of some kind? They fight with unbelievable ferocity. This man must be an expert tamer if he can make magic beasts throw their lives away so easily for him.’
The Lich has still not seen Jason resurrecting any of his subordinates, so the Lich couldn’t tell that the Legion were also an immortal army. The Lich simply thought that Jason had hundreds of monster subordinates and was using them expertly. Jason was slowly pushing against the hundreds of undead minions that the Lich had sent to kill him, and the Lich decided that he would need to bring out some of his stronger subordinates if he wanted to finish this quickly.
’Paladins, go and finish off the intruders.’
The Lich gave the order while walking towards the edge of his cave, and he watched as the entire forest began to shake as his Paladins slowly emerged from the ground.
