Chapter 389 Bones That Won't Break!
Cracks appeared all over the walls and ground.
Half of the ceiling had made its way down to the ground, sending pieces of rubble in every direction and filling the room with dust.
The sheer force generated from a 'Spark' was incredible.
But Mark had no time to be impressed or surprised.
His first move upon unleashing the attack had been to swallow the various Gems and Stones that he had taken earlier as he leaped through the room.
The Gems and Stones, as he had expected, were filled with Mana.
Instantly, his Mana Reserve was filled back to the brim.
[Your Affinity with Water Magic increases by a very slight margin.]
[Your Affinity with Thunder Magic increases slightly.]
[Your Affinity with ...]
The Undead Lich wouldn't die from that.
Mark was convinced by that fact.
No notifications from the System added to his certainty.
The Undead Lich's body is made up of bones. It was different than a Ghoul or an Orc.
The latter could have been injured gravely and left bleeding out under the rubble.
The Undead Lich was different.
Shattering the skull.
A one-hit kill, or nothing.
"You're going to keep hiding there? I don't mind piling up the Sparks."
"Surprising. That Flame should have been extinguished with the death of the Giants."
The Undead Lich was indeed under the rubble.
Despite the two dozen meters separating them, the shockwave as the Undead Lich freed itself reached Mark.
"What can I say? I have diverse tastes." Mark said as,
Thump-
Thump-
Their bodies had been burned to a crisp. By using Bone Manipulation, Mark had managed to bring the dead Ghouls' bodies over to him. This requires delicate control, as the Bones have to be pulled with just enough force so as not to pierce through the Ghouls' muscle tissue or skin.
Devoured.
The superficial wounds, grazes, and burns on Mark's body were healed.
An attack so powerful that it could hurt its user.
Surrounded by huge pieces of rubble, both stood unmoving.
The Undead Lich's curiosity kept rising and rising.
A Soul from another Reborn into this one with the ability to Evolve by swallowing other Beings and the ability to use a Magic Type that had disappeared centuries ago.
Could that Flame be the answer to the Lich's Quest?
Mark felt a rush of exhilaration.
The explosion was stronger than those that the Fire Spirit had used on the Dungeon's First Floor. Not only that, but this was only a Spark for now. Crack all over the room, the ceiling brought down... The force was incredible, as the structure itself was incredibly tough. Punching it had barely left a crack and had made his fist bleed.
The fact that the Undead Lich had been under the rubble meant that it had protected itself from the explosion, but not from the rubble.
Still, there was no sign of damage on its body. freewe bnovel .com
The huge piece of rubble that had descended upon the Undead Lich had both toughness and weight going for it. Yet, no damage.
It was clear as day to Mark. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The Undead Lich's had bones that wouldn't break easily.
But there was another Skill that Mark had obtained.
One that he couldn't use yet.
He felt that something was strange, but now he understood.
Devouring that Ex-General of the Tyr and the Fire Giant Core had completely changed the muscles that made up his body.
His muscles were those of a Giant. But he couldn't fully showcase their strength.
Because he lacked the bones that would allow that.
"Shall we continue?" The Undead Lich asked as it raised its arms.
Mark smirked.
The attack had done no damage.
But it had rid the room of most of the Magic Circles.
With the discussion that the two had earlier, he couldn't help but chuckle internally.
'That was a good sacrifice. Though I got it all back.'
His Mana had been replenished after all.
A sphere was created above the Undead Lich.
Thunderbolts exited that sphere from multiple directions.
They weren't shot simultaneously.
'Thunder Magic. The sphere was made by Condensing... Or bringing together a bunch of Thunderbolts. It's unstable, which is why they shoot out. The Thunderbolts want to be let out. Which means that...'
The Undead Lich lowered its arms, and the sphere moved forward, the roar of thunder resonated!
'It's slow enough for me to dodge,' Mark thought as he jumped to his left. 'The explosion will send Thunderbolts in every direction randomly!'
The Thunderbolts came from the Undead Lich itself, not a Magic Circle! The destructive power will be different!
Mark jumped forward, before casting another wave-like protective structure made with Ice Magic.
The wave-like structure allowed him to defend and protect the direction from which the attack came.
A spherical barrier would be a shield spread too thin, an issue that he had encountered multiple times, especially when defending against the Corrupted Dark Elves' arrows inside the Dungeon.
Additionally, and this was the most important aspect of the wave-like structure and the reason why he had jumped forward, this allowed him to keep an eye on the Undead Lich.
As Mark had expected, the Thunderbolts birthed from the explosion shot out at random.
Out of the many Thunderbolts, one was headed towards the Undead Lich.
A deep blueish Aura oozed out of its index finger.
Its finger moved, leaving a trail of Aura lingering.
A Sign was drawn on the air.
And a large Portal appeared.
The Thunderbolt was swallowed.
Mark's eye widened. Where does the Portal lead to? What happens if he is swallowed by it?
His first instinct was to look above him.
The Thunderbolt hit his side, immediately scorching the white scales.
"You don't mind piling up the Sparks, you said earlier."
Tsk-
"Are you capable of handling a hit from your own attack, I wonder?"
Mark did his best not to think.
He leaped forward.
The attack had come from his blindspot.
A blindspot that had been created. That, in a way, Mark himself had created.
