Boom!
The ground trembled as a giant urn began to rise.
Long arms and legs shot out from the urn, supporting its massive body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The urn charged forward like a mad beast.
Anyone ordinary would have wet themselves in fear and bolted from the grotesque sight.
"Disgusting."
Crash!
Akuyuham, who knew no fear, obliterated the urn with a single blast of dark flame magic.
Ding!
*You have defeated the Jar Warrior, Rus.
*Rewards will be given.
A golden aura seeped from the shards of the jar and enveloped Akuyuham.
"What a truly vile world."
!!!
Having dabbled in the forbidden arts of dark magic and fallen to the state of a lich, he had witnessed many horrifying things.
Even he could scarcely face himself at times.
Yet, this world was filled with horrors that rivaled, or even surpassed, what he had seen.
Akuyuham, who stood at the pinnacle of black magic, felt an urge to leave this world as quickly as possible.
Even he, who rarely experienced fear, felt his mind fray just by observing the terrors that lurked here.
"......"
Mari pulled her skeletal horse to a halt, staring silently at the shards of the urn.
"...?"
Even as a lich, the sight made his stomach churn.
And yet, here she was, looking at it calmly.
Akuyuham guided his skeletal steed beside Mari's and spoke.
"Let's go. We don't have time to waste."
"......But."
"But?"
Akuyuham turned his gaze to Mari's face, which was focused on the broken shards below.
Her eyes held sadness.
Sadness? Fr
om seeing the death of a monster?
She's still just a child.
Akuyuham dismissed the thought, attributing it to Mari's youth.
***
Hours later.
The night had fully fallen.
Crackle, crackle.
Mari sat huddled by the campfire, wrapped in a black blanket.
Thud.
A dark cloud of smoke descended beside the fire, and from it emerged Akuyuham, draped in his usual robe.
"What a nuisance."
By his side, an invisible hand carried a freshly hunted deer.
"Can you eat meat?"
Mari nodded silently.
Akuyuham's magic began to disassemble the deer.
'It's been a while since I cooked.'
After becoming a lich, all of his servants had been undead, so there hadn't been a need to cook.
'Not since my master passed, at least.'
