From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead - Chapter 214

c211 The true philosopher’s stone

“ah……”

Phillip looked at the ancient lich that appeared in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.

“Long time no see, little necromancer.”

The Lich let out a hoarse and low laugh, covered his chest, and bowed slightly to the young man, “I came here in response to your invitation…”

“It’s you?”

Phillip didn’t feel any hostility from the Skeleton Mage, but he still showed a vigilant look.

He didn’t know why the ancient lich was summoned again, but he had some guesses in his mind, so he wasn’t very nervous.

“Well, long time no see, Philip.”

At this time, the white skeleton that was first thrown out during the teleportation climbed up and waved to the young man, greeting him cautiously.

“Mr. Wallace?”

Although his appearance changed drastically, Philip recognized the skeleton in front of him.

It was the second undead he contracted with, Wallace, who claimed to be the tutor of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

The person he summoned just now was originally him, but the previous summons failed. Only this time it succeeded. It seemed to be related to whether the ancient lich responded or not.

Philip asked the skeleton mage in front of him: “Why do you appear here?”

The Lich laughed hoarsely, “I came under the order of the lord…”

“Lord?” the young man asked in confusion.

The Lich smiled and said: “Little mage, can’t you guess who he is?”

“You actually summoned a lich? Passed!” At this moment, the skeleton presiding over the trial made a voice.

Its voice seemed a little surprised and excited, “I haven’t seen a mage transform into a lich through a ritual for a long time.

“This spell seems to have been lost in the outside world. In this era, few mages can extend their lives by becoming undead.”

After saying that, it stood up, bowed slightly to the Lich, and said very politely: “Dear Lich Mage, welcome here…”

To Philip’s surprise, it seemed to have a hint of respect for the ancient lich’s identity.

In fact, the skeleton, as an undead servant resurrected by an ancient mage, was not born powerful, but was trained to this point by his master little by little.

Therefore, it has more respect for lichs who are similar to its master.

The lich is a symbol of time and wisdom. Compared with it, both Philip and Rex are just young boys.

“You actually have a powerful lich…”

Dio’s eyes widened and he whispered to Philip with an incredible expression.

He could sense that the magic power of the Skeleton Mage was much more powerful than him, almost at level five, and he was a Lich Archmage.

Phillip opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he could not explain clearly…

“Crunch…”

The ground parted, and a stone platform rose from it, holding a small box on it.

“This is the reward.” The skeleton waved his hand and the box flew towards the skeleton mage.

The Lich caught the box and opened it, and found that it contained a bright red gem, surging with rich life energy.

“The real Philosopher’s Stone?” The Skeleton Mage was a little surprised.

This thing is called the Miracle Stone, an all-purpose elixir that is said to be able to revive the dead and make bones.

The skeleton nodded and said: “My master left this gem for future generations of lichs. This is a gift specially prepared for existences like you.”

Because of this, it was not given to Philip, but directly handed over to the Skeleton Mage.

“So, do you want to challenge the following trial?” The skeleton spoke again: “The subsequent tests will be more difficult. Without strong strength, you will not be able to pass, and your life will be in danger.”

“…” Philip looked at the lich and hesitated to speak.

He obviously has no chance of passing a trial that requires great strength. He just doesn’t know if the Skeleton Mage has the ability to challenge…

“Turn it on.”

The Lich stretched out a hand and made an invitation gesture, and said slowly: “We are here for the ultimate inheritance.”

Dio whispered to Philip suspiciously: “Is this really your summon? Is it the undead spirit of your ancestor…”

The lich’s strength and aura are very strong. He doesn’t look like a subordinate to the boy at all. Now he has become the leader.

Phillip shook his head, unable to explain to him.

The fat mage continued in a low voice: “However, although it is strong, it is still far from being able to obtain the final inheritance of the legendary level…”

“Continue to challenge, okay? Little mage?” The Lich suddenly turned to look at Philip standing aside, as if asking for his advice.

The young man and the fat mage were both shocked.

“Ahem, no objection…” Phillip coughed slightly and said.

Facing the skeleton mage who far surpassed him in both age and strength, he still lacked confidence after all.

As for Dio, the Holy Light Mage, his face turned pale and he did not dare to say anything.

“Crunch…”

With the sound of rubbing stone slabs, the stone door behind the skeleton opened, revealing the passage behind it.

“Go, challengers, you will face more dangerous and difficult trials.” It made way for several people to go in.

The Lich waved to Wallace and disappeared, then it floated directly into the passage, with Philip and Dio following behind it.

After the passage is a second, more spacious hall.

A huge three-headed dragon stood in the center of the hall. After a few people came in, its eyes lit up with blue soul fire.

“boom–!”

A powerful force of undeath erupted from it, sweeping around like a storm.

Level six undead? !

Philip was shocked. He felt the magic power fluctuations in the three-headed bone dragon that were not weaker than those of Barbara and other sixth-level magisters.

A line of faint blue text composed of magic power appeared in the void, showing the content of this trial – defeating the three-headed skeleton dragon “Phoenix”.

“Weak challengers.”

At this time, the three-headed dragon made a low and deafening sound,

“If you turn around and run away now, before it’s too late, I can spare your lives…”

“Let’s go!” Dio turned pale and tugged on the sleeve of Philip, who was also pale.

They couldn’t stand just the aura emanating from the other party, let alone defeat it, even with the ancient lich…

But at this moment, the Lich said: “There is no need to escape, just to prepare.”

After speaking, it stretched out a hand, and light blue summoning arrays appeared on the side. It seemed that it was preparing to summon some undead.

As one of the leader monsters of the legion, it has the right to summon all other monsters.

The three-headed dragon roared with laughter, seemingly unconcerned.

“Weak lichs and mages, I will give you preparations to summon the undead army. Just summon it…”
