Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 160: Lich King

"Puchi!"

The Roaring Flame Spear pierced into the chest of the last Lich and with a bit of strength, I pulled it out of the chest.  Then with the glow of the Ice Wind Thorn, this pitiful Lich gave a wail before being turned into a hedgehog by the icicles!

"Hua la!"

Several gold coins and a staff fell to the ground.  Seeing the jet black appearance of the staff, I was speechless.  Picking it up, it really was Undead Scepter, the level 60 bronze trash item.

At the same time, there was a gold glow that fell from above my head as I successfully reached level 58!

The five points that came from leveling up were all added to strength.  It would be too much of a waste if I didn't add it to strength with the 12 star growth rate of the Dragon Whisperer.  Not only did it affect the stat points I added, even the added stats from the equipment was affected by the 12 star growth rate.  So with the 250 additional strength from my equipment, the attack power that came from it was around 300.  If it was an assassin, it would only be around 150.

Looking at the time, I saw that it was already half past ten.  This killing the Lich King quest still wasn't finished.  There was still one last thing, I had to kill the final Lich King!

If it went as expected, the Lich King would definitely be at the altar in front because the final boss would always be in the most important building.  The ones running outside would all be the minions.

Entering the altar, I was hit with a cold wind and I couldn't help shivering.  Looking up, I found that there was an old man covered in a dark cloak who was sitting on the throne with a blood red staff in his hand.  When the cold wind blew out, the cloak shook and I was scared by the old man's face!

This was a face that was already completely decayed and most of the flesh was gone.  There was blue demonic glow in his eyes that protruded out, as if it would explode at any moment.  His lips were also rotted and there was only a bit of skin left on his cheek.  His teeth were white and he scared me by opening his mouth.  The tongue that came out of the old man's mouth was actually as dark as insects!

"Kacha!"

The old man stuck out his withered tongue and a bug went in, creating a crunching sound before he swallowed it.

I couldn't help giving a gulp, this really was too much.  This scene would scare Ling Xue so bad that she wouldn't sleep alone for a month!

The two blood red words "Lich King" hung over the old man's head.  This was the boss that I needed to kill!

Without a word, I used the Star Eyes.

[Lich King]  (Dark Gold Boss)

Level: 80

Magic Attack: 550-750

Defense: 400

HP: 500000

Additional: The Lich King was a human magician, but after being corrupted by the demons, he reached a high level with death magic, becoming one of the dark forces.  Has the terrifying ability to control and reanimate the dead.

Seeing the stats of the Lich King, I was so shocked that I couldn't say a thing.  A normal Lich's 580 magic attack was already enough to scare me to death, but how could someone live against this Lich King's high 750 magic attack?

At this time, it was already not my choice if I retreated or not.  The Lich King stood up from the throne with his staff in hand and he looked over, saying in a voice filled with ridicule, "Lowly human, you've entered the boundless influence of the dark side.  You should be prepared to die and become one of my countless puppet soldiers, this is an honour for you!"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  You want me to become one of the dumb skeleton soldiers?  That was impossible.  I had to at least keep these handsome looks

Looking around, I instantly understood the surrounding area.  There were large walls made of stone all around and there were two giant pillars in the center of the altar that had skeletons carved on them.  It could be imagined that this was used in the Lich's worship of the dead.

The Lich King had already entered battle form.  He raised his staff and angrily roared out in a low voice, "All light shall disappear and the darkness will cover the land, ripping away all lies.  The truth will fall with death, Soul Devouring Flames!"

"Hong!"

With a loud sound, there was a giant purple fireball that condensed at the tip of the Lich King's staff before flying out at me!

This high level spell, I couldn't evade it at all.  I just felt a rending pain from my chest before my HP greatly decreased, suddenly dropping by half!

"2164!"

God, I only had around 4520 HP!  I would die with the next one!

I quickly went forward and raised the Roaring Flame Spear to send out a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers.  With three "pa, pa, pa" sounds, the Lich King lost over 5000 HP.  But this was only one wool off nine cows with his five hundred thousand HP and what I hoped would happen didn't happen.

The petrification effect was ignored.  The 10% chance would often appear on mobs, but once I encountered a Dark Gold Boss, that 10% chance would drop to less than 1%.  This was also a boss' resistance to skills

Heading back, I chugged a pot before attacking with the Roaring Flame Spear again.  The Whirlwind Slash released a glow that hit the waist of the Lich King.  Although it only dealt around 2000 damage, the Lich King's next fireball had already finished gathering.

I couldn't help being surprised.  It's over, how could a boss' skill be that easy to disrupt?

There was no way, I could only take it.  I ran to the other side of the Lich King, but the Lich King's powerful Soul Devouring Flames flew in a circle and hit my shoulder as if it was guided by some strange power.

"2205!"

It was another hard hit and my HP had dropped to less than 1000!

My heart was anxious and I immediately flew out like the wind, using the Bloodthirst effect to quickly run at one of the pillars!

The Lich King's third fireball finally came and I dodged out of the way.  Whether I died or not would depend on this!

Who would have thought that the fireball would fly by my ear and wouldn't pass through the pillar!

The Lich King's angry voice rang out, "Damn.  Lowly human, you dare blaspheme my dark pillar!  I will rip you to pieces!"

I broke out in a cold sweat as I felt a bit of despair.  It was over, this attack was just too strong and I couldn't resist it at all.  As long as I got hit with another fireball, I would be finished here today.

I was very unwilling in my heart!  I had just reached level 58, I didn't want to go back now!

At this time, the Lich King ran forward and there was a terrifying purple glow that appeared on the tip of his staff!

My mind turned blank and it was no use no matter what I said at this point.  It was clear that this Lich King's power was greater than mine, so dodging it was only a path to death, I couldn't even escape!  If I were to run, I would be killed by the Lich King before I could reach the exit!

Damn, I go all out!  Who cares if I die!

I gritted my teeth and suddenly raised the Roaring Flame Spear, not caring as I sent a Shield Break Slash at the Lich King's chest!

This was used to cut through defenses, but now I was stabbing out with it.  There was a golden glow that appeared at the tip of the Roaring Flame Spear and it pierced through the Lich King's defense!

"Keng!"

After stabbing into the Lich King's body, the Roaring Flame Spear's tip stabbed right into the pillar behind it, becoming deeply embedded inside!

"Ding!"

System notification: You have temporarily lost your weapon!

I was shocked as I quickly pulled back on the Roaring Flame Spear.  I couldn't lose this Dark Gold Weapon, wouldn't this be losing my wife and my army?

What made me more nervous was the Lich King.  It was stuck on the pillar and the Lich King's legs were in the air, unable to use any strength.  It wielded its staff and hit me in the shoulder!

"256!"

Hei, hei, it turned out that the Lich King's physical attack was this weak!

I let go of the Roaring Flame Spear and revealed a faint smile.  Then I pulled out one of the Swift Swords in my bag that I hadn't sold yet.  This Bronze Sword actually had a use right now!

I suddenly stabbed at the Lich King's waving hand!

"Hua!"

However, what I never thought of was that although the Bronze Swift Sword stabbed through the Lich King's arm, it couldn't stab it into the pillar.  It even shattered into fragments the moment that it hit the pillar!

"Ding~!"

System notification: Your weapon Swift Sword has been destroyed!

My hand was empty.  Looking at it, I had nothing but trash weapons!

But after flipping through my inventory, I couldn't find a second suitable weapon.  I could only take out the Star Chasing Bow and I shot an armour piercing arrow at the Lich King's neck after equipping it!

"2419!"

It was a good damage number.  The Lich King couldn't use its magic at all right now, so it had completely lost its arrogance.

I was secretly pleased with this.  I never thought that I would bump into this laughable matter.  A level 80 Dark Gold Boss was actually pinned into a pillar like this, it would die from shame even if it died

I shot it again and again and the Lich King could only use his staff to hit me a few times at first.  I moved away and the Lich King couldn't reach me.  He could only glare at me with his red eyes as he roared at me.

I broke out in laughter!  Killing this boss was so easy!

But in reality, if it wasn't for the bug, I would have been surpassed by the Lich King.  But there were many reasons why this had happened.  First, my attack power and the Shield Break Slash broke through the Lich King's defenses, which created a hole in its body.  Second, the Roaring Flame Spear was one of the rare Dark Gold Weapons in Spirit of Grief.  If it wasn't for the sharpness of a Dark Gold Weapon, how could it pierce through this pillar?  I'm afraid that the result would have been the same as the Swift Sword and I would have been broken with the sword

Ten minutes later, with a flash of light from the Star Chasing Bow, there was a powerful armour piercing arrow that flew out.

There was a loud "peng" sound.

"2872!"

With this large damage, the Lich King finally gave a wail before it fell down.  He turned into fragments as he fell down, with his head dropping to the floor.  At the same time, there were gold coins and items that dropped onto the ground!

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have killed the level 80 Dark Gold Boss Lich King!  You have received 1200000 experience and 2500 prestige!

I didn't care about the rewards, I cared about my weapon, the Roaring Flame Spear!

I quickly grabbed the Roaring Flame Spear's handle and my right leg came up to the pillar.  I started using my strength to pull out, but it only became loose and I couldn't pull it out!

I was anxious, so I put both legs up and I was standing in the air, using a very funny position to pull on the Roaring Flame Spear.

It took a lot of force to move the mountain, but you would starve if you didn't have a horse!

With a large "peng" sound, parts of the pillar flew out, but I had finally pulled out my weapon!

But the pillar suddenly fell into the other pillar.  After that, the entire altar suddenly started to cave in!

Damn, was this map being destroyed?

I didn't hesitate as I reached out to grab the things the Lich King dropped.  There was no time to pick up the gold coins one by one, so I grabbed them all in my hands.  When I flew out of the altar, with a large sound behind me, the building in the center of the blood red sentry post was destroyed!

At the same time, with a "ding" sound.

System notification: Your quest has been complete.  Please report to patrol team leader Wack to receive your reward!

I gave a sigh before looking at my spoils.  I had grabbed 375 gold coins, but it really was a pity.  Looking at it, the Lich King had definitely dropped around 2000 gold coins!

But other than gold coins, the Lich King had also dropped equipment!

I quickly opened my inventory and looked at the two pieces of equipment and the silver token.

I was filled with joy as I looked at the token.

[Feudal Lord Token]  (Special Item)

There was no description, so I didn't know how to use it at all

I was a bit disappointed, so I threw it right into my inventory.  I turned my hope to the two pieces of equipment, which was a silver staff and a cold glowing little dagger.

[Lich Staff]  (Silver Equipment)

Magic Attack: 180-240

Intelligence: +5

Additional: Killing enemies has a 1% chance of turning the target into a puppet.  This is limited to normal monsters that don't surpass the user's level.  Can be summoned for 120 minutes and has a summon limit of 1.

Required Level: 50

(Unappraised)

Looking at it, I couldn't help giving a sigh.  If this additional stat didn't have a level limit and monster grade limit, it would be great.  If it could activate when killing a level 100 Dark Gold Boss, one could really use this to show off!

I turned to the dagger which looked quite good.

[Poison Fang Dagger]  (Gold Equipment)

Attack Power: 220-320

Agility: +15

Vitality: +10

Additional: Has a certain chance of poisoning the target.  It will reduce the target's attack speed and move speed by 10% for three seconds.

Required Level: 50

(Unappraised)

Looking at this Poison Fang Dagger, I was filled with happiness.  It was very good and if the appraised stats of the dagger were good, my work today wasn't considered in vain!

So looking at the time and seeing that it was almost 11, I returned to the city!

It was a good thing that I bought a City Return Scroll at White Cloud City.  I used it and with a flash of white light, I appeared in the city.  I saw that it was already filled with people.  In five hours, White Cloud City already had the scene of a main city, as quite a few people were setting up shops in the business street to sell things.

I went to appraise my items first.  Opening up the minimap, I found the location of the appraiser and headed right over.
