Chapter 91
“STOP!”
The dark energy, which the grey-robed man released, disappeared at the sudden order from someone .
At the very same moment, a man, an elf with silver hair appeared in front of Johas .
“Sir Erenes!”
Johas and the remaining elders, who saw the elf, felt a little hopeful .
Erenes couldn’t help but feel sad after looking at them . He looked at the grey-robed man and smiled vainly .
“It has been a long time . ”
“You know me?”
“Of course, how can I not recognize your nasty soul just because you have the face of someone else?”
“Huhuhu, an elf who looks at only the truth is surely different . Rumors about you being aren’t plain lies I see . ”
The grey-robed man couldn’t help but laugh at Erenes who identified him in a moment .
“Please be honest . Did you leave your past body behind and become a Lich?” asked Erenes .
‘I knew it…’
At the words of Erenes, Johas nodded as if he knew about something .
Mana and the terrifying mana waves and those skills were all impossible for anyone other than a Lich .
What was more, the Lich knew how to handle dark magic and white magic, which meant that he was a skilled white wizard in the past .
And with the knowledge that Johas possessed, there was only one person in the Rhodesia continent who had fallen and became a Lich .
“Why don’t you just take off that mask now, Arsene? Or do you want me to take it off for you?”
The grey-robed man or Arsene laughed erratically at the words of Erenes and removed the disguise magic .
His hair began to fall out of his body, and the tangled Lich’s body began to show his bones as his flesh began to dry up .
The warlocks were shocked at what they were witnessing .
“Unbelievable! He is a Lich!”
“Arsene? Is he that guy from the Veritas Magic Tower?”
“Oh, my God! There were rumors that he had touched darkness in his later years, but to become a Lich…”
Lich .
Some of the greatest wizards of the ancient times were afraid of death and touched the forbidden realm of immortality .

In exchange for immortality, eternal life could be gained at the cost of gaining an ugly flesh that no one could even look at .
Nevertheless, those who practiced such wicked practices and tried to fulfill their greed were all known to have lost their lives and gained punishment .
But even under those circumstances, a Lich managed to survive over hundreds of years!
In addition, the identity of the Lich was none other than the enemy of the Darkness Magic Tower and Saymon, Meister Arsene .
“Has it been 500 years already?” asked Arsene .
Erenes immediately answered his question .
“We met two years before Saymon’s death so five hundred and thirteen years . ”
The two had met after a long time .
It was when the Allied forces of humans went against the Devil King’s dark legion in the Libiya Kingdom that they had met .
The representative of the human wizards during that time was Meister Arsene of the Veritas Magic Tower, and Erenes went to help Saymon .
The war had ended with the death of Saymon, Arsene intercepted Eugene and touched the power of darkness .
The hero who had fought against the dark legion, the reason why he decided to change his magic was because of his greed .
To possess the Veritas Magic Tower and his desire to control the continental magic system with the Veritas Magic Tower in the lead .
His greed eventually made him a monster known as a Lich .
“Do you know that a Lich can never escape the anger of El Kassel?”
At the question of Erenes, Arsene laughed out loud .
“Kekkk, Veritas . Magic Tower… I can . do anything . for it . And . I am . invisible . for this . world . I am . scared of . no . God . ”
“If so, then I will be the one to punish you instead . ”
The confrontation between the two in the past lead to the victory of Erenes .
Arsene, the wizard of 8 circle at that time, barely managed to run away from their fight .
513 years have passed since then .
Arsene was now a Lich . He even learned powerful dark magic along with white magic .
The Lich was confident that he wouldn’t lose this time .
“Kuuk, you . think . of me . as the . Arsene . of the . past . Don’t . misunderstand me!”

The body of Arsene soared high into the sky .
His body began to gather the energy of Abyss much deeper than the darkness .
Erenes too soared into the sky . And the elemental magic, which was the highest-ranking one was expressed .
“I speak to the elements of flame and the wind, purify the unclean presence right before my eyes!”
At the words of Erenes, fire and wind appeared simultaneously and united together forming a fire tornado .
The tornado of flames moved toward Arsene .
“Huh, elemental magic!”
Arsene defended Erenes’s magic with one hand, and with the other hand, he fought with dark magic .
Kuaang! Kung!
Bang! Bang!
The fight between them was so terrifying that it looked like the sky was collapsing .
In the enormous confrontation of the mana waves, Johas and the elders opened their mouths at the spectacle .
‘Oh my god! We were all just frogs in a pond . ’
Johas realized his arrogance .
Everyone was fascinated and watched the fight between the two .
“The fastest lightning, destroy this unclean being!”
Kwarrrng?!
A spear of lightning fell on the body of Arsene .
At attack which happened in a moment caused the torso of Arsene to turn into ashes .
“Kwaaak!”
Due to the fatal wound, Arsene crashed into the ground .
As half of his body disappeared, he looked up at Erenes and said,
“Kuk . I lost . Today . But soon . You . Fairy bastard . I will . Get . Rid . Of . All of . You!”
Arsene cursed at them and ran away .
“Catch him!” shouted the elders .
Arsene fled, at which the elders tried to follow him .
Erenes blocked them .
“Stop!”
“You need to kill him right away when you have the chance!”
A man with unimagined skills and power . If they couldn’t catch him when he was wounded, they would never be able to catch him .
Erenes bowed his head and said,
“The fundamental of a Lich was Life Vessel . It is just like removing the shell, the resurrection cannot be stopped . ”
“Ah!”
Only then did the elders and Johas realize that the injured one was a Lich .
“And he is injured, but can you follow him and manage to kill him… kuak!”
While Erenes was speaking, he began to cough black blood .
The injuries that Erenes had suffered from the fight weren’t seen till then .
“Uh, Sir Erenes!”
Johas, who was shocked by seeing the blood, rushed over to support him .
Erenes began to use healing magic on himself after helping the others and spoke with a pale face,
“That guy will definitely come back once again . And he is more likely not going to be alone . ”
Johas and the elders went stiff upon hearing those words .
They weren’t even able to stop a single Lich . What would happen if a dozen of them come their way?
It would be just a matter of seconds for the Dark Moon Magic Tower to be wiped out .
Erenes looked at the darkened faces of the warlocks and looked into the sky .
“Will the battle that had been stopped 500 years ago start once again?”
The fallen star would be resurrected again, and one of the people, who played a major role in the past war, Arsene, had appeared .
Erenes’s heart began to beat faster after realizing that a series of things that were signaling the beginning of a dangerous war that would shatter the continent were taking place .
‘In such case only elemental and spirits need to be…’
Ancient elves knew how to use spirits in addition to magic .
The spirit users who used spirits with respect to the contracts with them were so strong that neither humans nor elves could be a match .
But at one point, the connection between the Spirit World and Rhodesia continent got cut off .
They were two completely different worlds now .
The elves could no longer make a contract with the spirits because they gradually lost their power since they were pushed down by greedy humans and became a minority race .
Now, Erenes was seeking to connect with the spirit world for the survival of the other races, and the whereabouts of the Earth’s Tears, the key to opening the door to the other dimension, was known .
They had doubts, but what if Princess Reina didn’t know the whereabouts of the object?
‘There is no future for elves . ’
Erenes couldn’t help but shake off the bad thoughts from his head . He had no other choice but to pray that Reina possessed the Earth’s Tears .

Superworld
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive. Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Jane’s paths are inextricably intertwined, and as each struggles to find their place an unseen force will draw them ever forward – closer and closer to a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world. A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure” by readers, and "completely unreadable" by the author's blind grandfather.

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)

Flesh Forger
Born a bit too late to explore the world, yet far too early to explore space, Graham Lattem is your average 61 year old man - if a little wanderlust filled. That being said, he has a happy home, loving wife, children who check up on him, and a decent retirement fund to live out his golden years modestly. Then it happens. [System Initialization Commencing…] A trick of the light, surely. [Planetary Merger Protocol 331 Enabled] Rumbling can be heard in the distance. Shouts. Cries of anguish. A horrible, ear numbing crashing sound. An earthquake. A hole opens in the middle of his home, and our protagonist falls in as a swirling vortex consumes him. Mountains as far as the eye can see greet Graham as he opens his eyes. Well, and more glowing words: [Welcome To The Macrocosm] [Good Luck] Far away from his family in a world hell-bent on his demise, how will this old, arthritis ridden man survive? Did I mention he has cancer? ===================================================================== Aiming for at least 1 chapter every other day, though there is a very big chance it will more oftentimes than not be more than that! This is my first ever story. One that I’ve been wanting to write for awhile. The system is most definitely inspired by Randidly Ghosthound and The New World, but I promise the story is different! Please point out any mistakes, as I’d love to improve! Also the warnings are just to let me experiment.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
