Kahn and his subordinates prepared themselves to face the Lich dungeon floor boss. Their formation turning into a defensive one because Kahn had no idea about the powers and attacking skills of this Lich who could summon an army of undead.
"Prepare for your demise, mortal. I shall make you and your creature as my servants. You shall repay for killing my army." said the Lich and the five books around him moved in a circular motion.. The next second, a dark barrier came to be around the Lich floor boss and he started chanting a spell.
"That's troublesome.. Long incantation spells usually mean a large AoE destruction spell. Everyone, attack with all your strength!" declared Kahn and all his subordinates except Armin started attacking with their strongest damaging skills and blunt weapons.
Omega started with his Shredder Claws, Blackwall attacked with Ground Splitter, Oliver shot Mana explosion arrows, Ceril threw Fire and Lightning spells. The Minotaurs from the Legion attacked with all clubs and axes but when the volley of attacks ended and the dust cleared.. Kahn was left speechless.
Because all of their attacks were absorbed by the dark barrier and even more red and green patterns appeared on it.. The barrier itself became denser and looked more fortified than before.
"What the fuck?!" shouted Kahn in disbelief.
"Wakanda sorcery is this?" asked Kahn as he failed to understand how their attacks ended up dealing no damage. Not only they did not break the barrier but reinforced it instead.
The Lich continued the incantation, a sudden burst of Mana came out of the barrier and different elemental orbs coalesced together.. These were all the attacks that Kahn's side had landed on the barrier.
"Behind me!" bellowed Blackwall and took a firm stand as Kahn and the rest of the subordinates started running behind Blackwall who plunged his giant shield in the ground and braced himself for a barrage of attacks. He quickly activated all his defensive skills like Templar's Will, Defense Fortitude and Shield Aura and firmed his feet in the ground.
BOOM!
BANG!
CLANG!
One by one, all the different elemental orbs were thrown at the tank subordinate and the explosions that shook the entire cave struck on Blackwall's shield, he kept bearing the brunt of these attacks and his footsteps faltered. In front of the incoming onslaught, even the Lord rank subordinate who had the highest defense and ally buff skills was getting thrashed around. If it was someone else like Kahn or Omega.. They would've been obliterated on the spot.
"Fuck! What's this boss? How am I even supposed to fight him on equal footing." spoke Kahn with a terrified expression on his face.
Because in just a small exchange, he figured out that his army and all their attacking capabilities didn't prove useful or made a difference. Forget fighting the boss, they couldn't even break this barrier that protected the Lich.
And to make the matters worse, not only did the barrier absorb their attacks and reinforce itself. It also threw their attacks right back at them.
Even the most destructive lightning mage spells didn't do any damage against this dark barrier.
[Should I run for it?] he asked and looked at the entrance of the tunnels as only a retreat seemed like a suitable choice for him. Because this floor boss was simply too overpowered.
And most importantly.. The Lich boss didn't even attack him till now. The spell it was casting wasn't even ready yet. Kahn didn't want to stay here and find how that spell would kill him when the floor boss finished it off.
For the first time since Kahn started hunting inside this dungeon.. He found himself completely outmatched and unable to even touch the enemy.
No wonder the Lich boss did not even bother coming when he was finishing off its army one by one. It was because the Lich boss itself didn't need or had to rely on it. The undead floor boss was no different than an army itself.
"This damn dark magic is terrifying. This element is too overpowered!" spoke Kahn and dashed off towards the entrance of one of the tunnels.
"Why are you running? Allow me to offer my hospitality." suddenly the Lich finally spoke as it had finished its spell.
With a flick of its hand.. A black orb-like structure appeared in front of the Lich and it started enlarging itself extremely fast.
Before Kahn could even reach the entrance of the tunnels, a black wall made of this dark magic closed off the entrance. He quickly attacked it with his sword and windcutter skill but it didn't even receive a scratch. His gaze shifted to the other entrance, only to find it being closed off as well.
The floor boss had closed off all of his escape routes and he was no different than a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
"Witness the might of me.. Ajak, the Dark Summoner!" bellowed the Lich in its grim and hoarse voice.
Kahn quickly activated the Somir Scales and Blackwall ran in front of him to protect its master. Omega and Jugram stood on Kahn's sides while Ceril and Armin cast defensive and shield barriers on the group.
The rest of the members from the Legion came back inside his shadow as they were unable to be any help at this moment.
Kahn's Survival Instinct rang in his head like a siren and he felt the immensely destructive and volatile aura coming from this black orb that was growing tenfold in every passing second.
"Is this the end for me?" asked Kahn to himself as he prepared to brace whatever this giant black orb was gonna do to him.
His feet firmly stood while he brandished his sword and took a defensive stand. His subordinates were already ready to die in order to protect their master and acted as a shield between him and the incoming attack.
BOOM!
Just as the giant orb finally struck Kahn's team.. A loud noise filled this battleground.
Kahn who was already prepared to face the attack with all his defensive skills activated, found himself unable to even move.
Suddenly, the entire place went pitch black. There was no light, no reflection.. Nothing.
If not for his connection with his subordinates, Kahn would've felt like they were all dead because he couldn't even see himself in this absolute Darkness.
Suddenly.. A gigantic figure of the Lich whose skull appeared to be on fire appeared just 200 meters away. His figure was now 15 meters tall as he floated in the air.
The bright and red glowing eyes of the Dark Summoner landed on Kahn and it finally spoke.
"Welcome to my Hell!"
