After thinking for a while, Luke realized that he couldn’t fight the necromancer without getting rid of the flies around. It was clear that these skeletons wouldn’t buy him enough time to deal with that guy, so it was better to cut his sources of strength little by little.

Luke pointed his sword to the side and made the necromancer frown. It was actually hard to say if they had truly frowned... Regardless, he used Stinger, and in the next moment, he attacked and touched the head of a lich. One second later, the creature turned into dust and disappeared for good.

Luke almost could see the confused eyes of the necromancer under the hood. Since they didn’t react in any way, it was clear that they didn’t expect that. In the first place, Luke didn’t have any skills to exorcise undead, and even if he had, he would need them at a high rank for them to work against liches. However, Luke had Heal and Mana Manipulation, so he could easily destroy them like that. It cost some mana, though. Luke pointed his sword toward another target and then repeated the same thing four other times before his body suddenly got heavier, and Stinger didn’t help him reach the next target.

When Luke landed, he created a crater and smashed some zombies, but the necromancer didn’t attack for whatever reason. They were probably too focused on using gravity magic to stop Luke and do anything else. Regardless, that was still troublesome due to the poison in the air.

The liches gathered around Luke and prepared to attack in the next moment. Their beams of energy looked rather dangerous, so he clicked his tongue in annoyance. Luke quickly froze three of them and sent the spheres of ice to stop the others.

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be enough to stop fifteen others from attacking. Luke decided to use Checkpoint, but then he felt that the gravity magic on him got a bit weaker. Luke used Stinger to move and escape their barrage of attacks since it would be better to keep his cards hidden as much as possible. Regardless, he wondered why he suddenly was able to move again... it wasn’t like the necromancer stopped to do something else.

"Do the liches give them power?" Luke thought. "If that were the case, he shouldn’t use them like this... am I missing something?"

Before Luke could find his answer, the effects of gravity had increased again, and the liches hadn’t returned yet, so he didn’t understand anything anymore. In any case, he made a mental note to create some copies of weapons with holy attributes the next time something like this happens.

While Luke was thinking of his next step, the mist began to get thicker around him, and he was forced to use Heal on himself for the first time since the battle started. It was amazing that the gravity alone didn’t break his bones, but that was because of the parameter bonuses given by the armor.

"Oh, yeah... I can do that as well," Luke thought, and then he used the effects of his sword to freeze the air around him.

The Poisonous air quickly began to freeze and fall to the ground as small shards of ice. Luke made some of them fall on his hands, and then he smirked before he used Weapon Augmentation and bombarded the liches with them.

In the blink of an eye, ten liches died without realizing what or how they were killed. Once again, Luke felt the mana around him getting weaker. Somehow, the death of the liches definitely weakens the necromancer. Still, even if that didn’t happen, the enemy stopped their attack and focused most of his mana into gravity again. This time, they increased the output that Luke began to sink on the ground while his bones were cracking.

"Shit... Give me a break," Luke said while biting his lips. "At least a few seconds... At least a few seconds?"

At that moment, Luke had one heck of a crazy idea... What if he sends himself to his storage dimension? Time doesn’t pass there, so he will have some to prepare. However, there were probably a few problems with that. Can a human life be in a place where the concept of time doesn’t exist? That was one hell of a gamble. Also, he is the one who brings and takes things from the storage dimension. Could he return once he goes there? It seemed too much of a gamble. Still, Luke decided to take the gamble. Suddenly, he vanished from the battlefield, and the necromancer lost sight of him completely...

In the next moment, Luke lost complete control of his body. He couldn’t see or feel anything. He immediately regretted his choice, but then he noticed that despite the circumstances, he still could think. Also, he couldn’t feel it or sense it, but he could tell that there was a way out of that dimension. It was like the door he used to come in. It seemed that he could leave, but it also seemed that he couldn’t use that place to defy time in his favor. At least he couldn’t imagine how now. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I can’t feel anything, but can I breathe here?" Luke thought. "No... if my brain is working, then I am using oxygen that is in my lungs? I don’t really now know anymore..."

It was a pity that Luke didn’t investigate that dimension before, but it couldn’t have been helped since only now he had that idea, since it was a pretty much crazy one. Regardless, if Luke could think, he could use magic. And if he could use magic, then perhaps his first idea wasn’t impossible or crazy.
