Damion left his skeleton soldiers to protect Tsubuki who would cast magic into the groups of Lepan's skeletons while he went to attack Lepan himself.

"Hmm, what a foolish decision to face me alone mortal." Lepan the LIch had a repulsive cackle before greeting Damion with a flying spear.

[Shadow Step activated]

Damion dodged the spear easily with Alvollas helping him predict his opponent's attack but he did not know that Lepan could manapiulate his spear's movement. Lepan quickly turned his spear tip near Damion's head.

[Greater Strength activated]

Damion got hold of the spear and thrusted it back into the Lich's direction. The spear came to a halt before the lich's head.

"Ha, your quite the strong mortal aren't you? I guess playtime is over now." Lepan's face turned into a sinister smile, Damion felt a sudden chill. Lepan suddenly disappered into thin air while a normal skeleton had been transfered to his place, Damion looked and found Lepan raising and choking Tsubuki with one arm.

"No-"Damion had a few scratches on his body from trying to dodge Lepan's spear, normally he would not be affected by this at all but for some reason his body felt unusually heavy. Damion coughed out blood from his mouth, he was on his knees.

"Ha Ha, it seems that the poison has taken affect. Well it was amusing to fight with you two but let's end-" Lepan felt animosity from Damion.

[Requirements met! New Mind Demon special skill: Mind over body. One must have a strong will to live to achieve skill]

Damion's eyes from a gentle blue colour turned into blood-red in an instant. Damion stood up, his aura reminded Lepan of his master's. Damion's figure was enveloped in darkness.

[Shadow step activated]

Damion's movements became much faster than it had been before, his stats were the same as before the fight with Lepan. The Lich stood no chance against Damion's new form, Lepan lost sight of his enemy. Lepan felt lighter on his shoulders for some reason and his vision began to go all around the place. Damion had cut off the head of Lepan in an instant, his movement was deathly silent as if he had not moved at all. Lepan's skeleton soldier begun to crumble alongside their master.

"Damion!" Damion fell down after defeating Lepan, he must have depleted his mana from using his new skill. Tsubuki rushed to his side.

"Master Damion let me heal you." Alvollas had came out before his master had fainted.

"Gah, flyin- eyeball!" Tsubuki had seen Alvollas for the first time.

"How rude I am a familliar of Master Damion, how dare you adress me as flying eyeball." Alvollas explained to Tsubuki that she needed to get some potions and medicinal herbs from Damion's bag to help speed up the recovery magic.

Damion was in a subconsious state...

"Do you want to live?" A mysterious voice called out to Damion who was surrounded by darkness, his senses were just fine he was able to see his whole body even in the darkness.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Damion responded back to the mysterious voice.

"Do you want to live? The voice repeated its question. No matter how many times Damion asked about where he was and how he got here, the voice just repeated the same thing.

"Do you want to live?" Damion saw a hole open in the darkness, he could see Tsubuki shaking his body and Alvollas chanting healing magic.

Damion remembered what happened before he had ended up in this dark place.

"Yes, I want to live! I can't die yet!" Damion felt his heart beating, it felt heavy. The pressure was immense, it was as if his whole body was going to explode.

Damion's eyes shot wide open, his eyes had reverted back into the blue eyes he had before. He saw Tsubuki with teary eyes, she went and squeezed him hard.

"Holy shit, I thought you were dead. Don't go anywhere please, you still need to explain all this!" Tsubuki let go of Damion who was unable to breathe from the tight grasp of her hug.

"Don't worry, I wont die so easily." His body felt light, Alvollas sure did a good job of healing him.

"Alvollas thanks for healing me, I'm grateful." Damion bowed to Alvollas who was flapping around happily for his master had been healed properly.

"No Master Damion, it is my duty to protect you and I failed in doing so. Healing you was the only thing I could do for you then."

Damion looked at all the skeletons lying dead on the ground, he stood up and walked over to Lepan's body and grabbed his grimoire. Damion opened his satus scroll to check how many levels he gained.

[Status Scroll open]

"Mind Over Body was that what helped me overcome the strong poison Lepan used on me and Mana Grip was what allowed him to control his spear so easily in the air." Damion observed his surroundings and still felt the strong aura on top of the castle.

"Let's go, we need to finish this." Damion looked up to the castle.

"Are you crazy! You almost died aren't you exhausted?" Tsubuki was shocked that Damion could even say that.

"Don't worry, we have some new allies that can help us."

[Reanimation activated]

Lepan and 100 of the strongest skeletons in his group rose up once more as Damion's servants.

"We kneel down to our knew king." All the new skeletons bowed and chanted in unison to their new lord.

"Huu, didn't think that I could get Lepan as a soldier. This makes me happy, ha ha." Damion now had 150 soldiers that were above level 40.

"Now we let's go, judging from what Lepan is telling me now, his old vampire master hasn't eaten in a while. So he's probably weak right now." Damion explained to Tsubuki as they walked up to the castle once again.

"Are you actually going to take down this guy?" Tsubuki was amazed by how calm Damion was.

"We have you who can cast advanced fire magic, you just need to use that fire dragon spell during that match with me. VAmpires are weak to fire remember?" Damion explained his plan on how to attack the vampire lord to Tsubuki.

"Okay, this is where we are supposed to be." The strong aura of the vampire lord did not move while Damion and Tsubuki were making their way up the castle, the vampire lord was probably waiting for them.

The door swinged right open. Both Tsubuki and Damion saw a vampire sitting on a throne.
