Sora pushed the door open and spotted the tall throne chair facing a large glass window at the back of the chamber. When she and her party stepped toward the throne, the chair swung around, revealing the Lich King. Still a white wolf in a heavy black armored suit with a purple cape on his back. He held a staff in his left that looked like a spiked mace on a long rod.
"Welcome to my castle," the Lich King echoed, "I wasn’t expecting you to arrive here so soon."
Sora glared as the Lich King's status appeared.

Sora still couldn’t believe how strong Lucillia got after she has stolen Sora’s body. Will Sora have the chance to defeat him?
Sora grinned at him. "I just didn't want to waste my time questing before meeting you."

The Lich King chuckled. "You are still weak, fool. You should have leveled up more when you had the chance."
"Sora is not weak!" Nancy shouted, raising her club up. "She escaped from enslavement and beaten a dragon!"
Lucillia glanced at the fennec fox girl. "And who are you?"
Nancy smiled. "We are her friends, and we are going to help her kick your butt!"
The Lich King laughed. "How amusing! You got some artificial entities to guide you."
"They are not just artificial entities," said Sora, "they are my friends."
Lucillia drummed his fingers together. "Whatever, but since you are here, why don't we have a one-on-one duel?"
"A one-on-one duel?" Maxor asked.
The Lich King nodded and pointed his staff at Sora. "Only me and her at the top of my castle. If you win, you will get your body back, and everyone can leave the game. But if I win….." He curled a grin. "Your soul will be mine, and your friends will die."
Sora glared at the demon. Do I have a choice?
"What makes you think I will listen to your offer?" She asked. "I could kill you here and now."
Lucillia rolled her eyes. "Perhaps you weren't persuaded enough."
With a snap of his finger, a dozen wolf demon knights appeared from flashes of smoke. They surrounded Sora and her friends, pointing their spears toward them.
Sora gazed at each one, and then her mouth dropped.

All of them have the same level as their king. If Sora and her party tried to attack them, they would be goners instantly. Each demon could deplete a large chuck of Sora’s health points before she could throw a single attack. Fighting all the demons inside a crumbled space was suicidal, and Sora knew better than that.
Lucillia laughed. "Do I make myself clear now?"
Sora’s heart pumped as she glared at the demons. But she lowered her sword and sighed. "Fine! I will fight you in a duel. It will be fair and square."
The Lich King pushed his fingers together, smiling with satisfaction. "You made a wise choice."
