Rebirth: Over the Horizon

[Mission: Kill the weakened lich

 -after killing the lich, you will receive many items, out of it theere will be a holy crystal which was used to seal her earlier. Hand it over to the old knight.

Reward: Proceeds to the next task and reduces the level of difficulty. 

Failure: You will be tasked with an extremely high difficulty mission] 

Adam's eyes were bright, and he waved Abyss Angel and began to attack the beam of light where the Lich was. 

Adam exhaled a long breath of the turbid air in his body and then approached the beam of light. He raised his weapon to release "fireball." 

The fireball slammed heavily on the beam of light, and Lich's expression instantly changed.

 Her expression changed from calm to slightly frowning, and the lich's long eyelashes trembled slightly, seeming to wake up at any time.

"Really a beautiful and delicate woman." Even Adam couldn't help sighing. 

'For such a beauty, I am afraid that most male players can't even harm her?' 

But, Adam wasn't amazed or seduced by her beauty, Adam was more interested in the items she would drop after her death.

As an undead aristocrat, the lich will explode items after death.

He only has to hand over the holy crystal, so naturally, other items will come under his possession.

So, of course, he was excited. 

Adam smiled slightly and then continued his general attack.

Fireballs hit the beam of light shining with white light, and then a crack occurred.

With a "pop", the crack cracked more, and with Adam's continuous blow, the crack gradually evolved into a gap.

 A lot of white light overflowed from the gap, after a second the entire beam of light collapsed.

Then, the exquisite and beautiful Lich woke up from her deep sleep.

She was suspended in mid-air as if there was an invisible bed in mid-air. Then her eyes slowly opened, and she turned and stood in the void. 

Her eyes were dark black, but dark blue light radiated from her eyes.

"Did you interrupt my deep sleep?" the Lich asked.

"Yes." Adam nodded his head to the lich, "Why did yo-" 

But, before she could fully ask her question a fireball hit her face, because her LvL dropped to 16, the fireball alone took 20% of her HP. 

"Wait..." 

"Bam...Bam...Bam..." 

"Please stop...Shield..." 

A black coloured transparent shield formed and acted as a shield before her. 

"Bam..." 

But, its lvl was so lwo, only after blocking one fireball, there was a huge crack on it.

"Please wait..." 

Adam first ignored her words because he wanted to leave this crypt quickly but after seeing her pleading so many times. 

'Is there a Hidden Mission...' 

"What is it?" His eyes were calm like water and his face showed no expression. 

The lich made an awkward smile, in the first place it was strange to see a lich smiling. 

"Please spare me...In exchange, I will serve under you." 

After speaking, the lich deliberately lowered her sleeves and acted pitifully.

"Why should I?" 

"Huh?" 

The lich was dumbfounded, she thought that this human is like any other one, who tries to act kind and heroic.

But, not only he didn't seem to be kind, but he also had negligible interest in her. 

"If I kill you here, I will obtain many high-grade items, but if I spared you what could I get?"

After speaking, he raised Abyss angel to cast one more fireball. 

"...Wait...Please listen to me, even though I am currently weak, I was once a LvL: 230 high-level Lich." 

"So?" 

"With my experience, I will grow stronger in no time, I can even become more stronger before I was sealed." 

"After becoming stronger, You will kill me?" 

Adam's question was like choking her neck. 

"No, As I said before I will serve under you." 

"Ha...Do you expect me to believe that not to say I already have many powerful people on my side, it's best for me to kill you." 

The Lich face become pale but, her will to live was very strong, "I know about all undead type monsters..."

Adam reflected no interset to her words and casted, "Fireball" 

The barrier broke into two and at the samr time a loud scream pierced his ears. 

"I EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS OF DEMONIC MONSTERS!!!" 

She fell to the ground, and a few tiny water droplets trickles from her eyes. 

"Okay, let's say...I will let you alive but, how can I expect you not betray me." 

The Lich eyes brightened, "Don't worry about that..." 

The Lich waved her hand and bought out an old scroll, "You can cast slave-master restriction on me." 

Adam cautiously took the scroll and tore it into two, and a new skill conjured on his aresanel.

[Contract Slave] 

-This magic spell will only be effective when both parties agree with each other. 

After a minute, he placed his hand near the lich's head and cast the spell, "Contract slave." 

A blue magic circle with stranger glyphs formed and many blue chains locked on the lich's soul. 

"Ha..." The Lich sighed seemingly to be relieved and got up from the ground. 

[You have obtained a slave: Lich

 Name: Trixi 

 Lvl: 16] 

Adam nodded and at the same time, bright lights fell upon both of them. 

---- 

The old knight was very annoyed while he waited for Adam. 

'Why is that bastard taking this long?' 

Even though he received the best treatment inside the guild he considered the people here no more than chess pieces. 

'Should I have not come here, even though that pig said, this otherworldly bastard was a useful chess piece...' 

"Thud..." 

The old man kicked the table and it staggered a bit and the glass on top of the table fell off before him. 

"Crash..." 

'Is my choice wrong, after all...' 

He placed his feet on the shattered glass particles but his feet wasn't the one that got hurt. 

Instead, the glass particles under his feet were the one's melted under the old knight's pressure. 

At that time, a young man slowly pushed out slightly closed doors and entered the room where the old knight was sitting angrily. 

As soon as he spotted the young man, his mouth twitched and he extended his hand towards Adam before he could even speak. 

"Hand over the holy crystal?" 

"What? Holy Crystal?" 

"I don't have something like that." 

Adam spread his hands and shrugged.
