“Welcome to my domain invaders. You have reached the end, splendidly done. I am the Dungeon Master of this Dungeon and I challenge you to a life and death fight.”

The Monster that said this was another Skeleton. But this time it wasn’t a simple Knight. It had a deep black aura, not comparable to my black mana but it could frighten quite a lot of normal people.

“Am I right if I categorize you as a lich?”(Kylie)

Nice going Kylie. I actually had the same thought and wanted to ask him. I stared into his non-existent eyes. I couldn’t read the enemy at all.

“Welcome to my domain invaders. You have reached the end, splendidly done. I am the Dungeon Master of this Dungeon and I challenge you to a life and death fight.”

He said not moving.

“Didn’t he say that before? Is that the only things he can say?”(Me)

“Shut up and focus on the fight. I will think about it.”(Kylie)

“Don’t order me around.”(Me)

Unwillingly I stepped forward. I activated [black form] and the lich frowned. Finally it showed a normal reaction. After it realised that I accepted the challenge it stood up and summoned a black sword out of thin air. I wasn’t surprised because I did the same.

The fight began. I didn’t let my guard down but I didn’t want to do the same with him as I did with the Yeti. As long as I could win otherwise I would refrain from using so much mana. We exchanged quite a lot blows and I had some light injuries.

I used a [fireball] to distract it. It defended but when it did I had already beheaded it. I turned around to Kylie indicating that I won the fight. When I looked at her face she wasn’t happy or relaxed at all. She pointed at the lich and when I turned around it already finished chanting a spell.

Suddenly a circle with some weird inscriptions appeared on the floor and I could feel a lot of mana coming from inside of it. The ground started to shake and the lich started laughing. Kylie was a little frightened but she cooled down when she saw that I didn’t even bat an eye during everything.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“You are the first person I am using my Ace against. Feel honoured.”(Lich)

“You should probably finish your summoning first before you say something like that.”(Me)

I was excited. I didn’t want the fight to end so quickly. I would let him finish his summoning and would fight against him with all I had. In the worst case scenario I would use up all of my mana and if that didn’t work we could still escape somehow.

The ground didn’t stop shaking. It was so strong that some stones fell down from the ceiling. When the summoning ended we confronted a huge Skeleton Monster with 2 wings.

“The S class Monster Bone Dragon!?”(Kylie)

I read about it in the Dungeon guide. In general every S ranked Monster was on a Danger level of a catastrophe. The Bone Dragon was no exception. It was an undead with no heart and as long as it had mana and as long as its core was intact it would not die. What surprised me was that the Dragons are the race with the most pride. They would never lower themselves to another.

I had no time to think anymore because the 10 meter high Bone Dragon started to move forward and attempted to attack us. We both dodged rather easily. It rammed into the wall of the hall and the whole room started to crumble. The wall collapsed and the portal was visible. Kylie tried to get to it but again there was a barrier keeping her inside.

“No choice but to fight then.”(Kylie)

“That was my plan from the beginning.”(Me)

“Just make sure you don’t lose. I don’t want to die in a Dungeon.”(Kylie)

“Sure.”(Me)

I answered and smiled at her. After the Bone Dragon crashed into the wall it turned around and faced us again.

“Can you distract the lich for a while?”(Me)

Kylie answered with a nod and I summoned a sword for her to distract the lich while I would fight the Dragon. It was my first time fighting a Dragon so I wanted to be able to give it my all fighting it.

The fight was really weird. The Dragon attacked me with all it had, I dodged and it stormed into the wall behind me. It moved like it had no control over its body. As it had no chance harming me I had a similar problem because every time I hit it with my sword or magic and destroyed a bone or cut its leg or wing it would regenerate almost instantly.

First I thought it would be a fight to see who had more stamina but when I got close and cut its wing, I saw that it regenerated but noticed something. The mana for regeneration didn’t come from the Dragon. It came from the lich.

“We have to defeat the lich so the Bone Dragon can’t regenerate anymore. Let’s ignore the Dragon for now and focus on the lich!”(Me)

I came over to help Kylie. The lich didn’t predict that I would focus it too and was surprised. I took this one second to cut its right arm which held the sword. Before the arm fell down I swiped it of its sword and stored it in my white space.

The lich didn’t like that I stole its sword and gathered a lot of mana to attack us with magic.

“Now I am mad. Give me back my sword and die.”(Lich)

I could feel a strong aura from the Bone Dragon. So that was its plan. It would distract us while the Dragon would use magic to kill us.

“You go for the magic I go for the kill.”(Me)

“Don’t say something so stupid in this kind of situation.”(Kylie)

She activated her [Zero] magic and I took my sword and stormed at the lich.

“[Chaos Breath]!”(Lich)

When I reached it and killed it, it finished its magic at the same time and the Bone Dragon attacked with a breath attack.

“Not good I can’t block it!”(Kylie)

I ran up to Kylie after I killed the lich again. A bright light blinded me, indicating that the [Chaos] magic hit the [Zero] magic. A loud boom echoed through the hall. After some time, Kylie ran out of mana and fell unconscious.

She did everything she could now I had to do the rest.
