The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 139

 

Chapter 139 – Paragons

As I had six times before, I summoned the other Magelords of Risen Athelia, and tasked them with drawing the circles that would guide the magic of the ritual. As they worked, I could not help but grin at how the mighty had fallen. Once, they had been seven of the most powerful mages in Athelia-That-Was, each recognized as the greatest master of their element within the land. Now, they were slaves to my will, forced to work for one of those who they ...

“This way, Ran! Here’s the store I was telling you about!”

 

Ran Samiess giggled as her wife pulled her along with one of her tentacles. “Geez, Sissy! It is just a clothes store! Surely you didn’t just drag me out to play dress-up with you? We could do that at home, you know? And with sexier outfits than this place will have.”

Chapter 341 – Prepared

My ‘boss room’ in the center of the pyramid was a fairly simple affair. A throne of carved and polished obsidian sat upon a dais in the middle of the room, which was lit by braziers in each of the room’s four corners. The dais was a square roughly twenty feet on a side, and it was the only ‘safe’ portion of the room.

 

Well, safety was relative. After all, that is where my avatar sat as the boss, with my pets Nichole and C...

Chapter 32 – Level Up, Part 2

First off, there were some easy automatic buys. [Glorious Visage] was just a flat buff to all allies in line of sight, and a debuff to enemies in line of sight. The fun thing about percentage-based buffs and debuffs is that the stronger the individual they were applied to, the more effect they had. 10% of 50 was a boost of 5, which was nice, at low levels. 10% of 200 was 20, which was even better.

Bloodmoon’s Interrogation roll, 17-: 3d6 = 8 (Succeed by 9)

Maestro’s modified EGO roll, 4-: 3d6 = 16 (Fail)

 

Bloodmoon quickly proved herself to be quite the artist with a scalpel. In fact, she had barely started with skinning the sensitive flesh between Maestro’s thighs, and he was already crying out, begging to tell her everything he knew. Not that I could blame him much, in this case. I don’t believ...

Chapter 138 – Prepared

I watched as my disciples helped the others down to the platform. While the others had managed riding the undead steeds well enough, I knew that the first time riding them through the air was something of a fright to normal people. There was a difference between knowing magic was at play, and actually putting your life on the line trusting in it, especially if it was not your magic doing the heavy lifting.

 

Once they were all here,...

Captain Griboyedov Ivan Tikhonovich took a breath as the ‘stitch-shock’ faded, and looked at the clock. One minute. Same as the last trip. He’d heard that the Admiral’s more powerful race made it so he suffered the stitch-shock for almost five minutes. Even that was a small number, on the face of things, but an eternity if you were set upon immediately after stitchin...

“Well,” Stepford said, his voice cold, and even, “under Guild traditions of hospitality, traitors give up their rights of safety, so there’s no concern about dealing with him, or his entourage. However, simply eliminating the man out of hand seems wasteful, when it would be good to know exactly what the terms of selling us all out were.”

 

Maestro growled like a cornered beast, as he looked for a way out. His Chorus w...

With breakfast done, though a little more eventful than anticipated, we made our way to where the Seal of Earth lay. The sinkhole I had been told about was indeed in the middle of a park. Well, it was called Parque Alejo Barrios, at least. In reality, it looked like a series of football fields set up so locals could come together and play. A stadium was litera...

Hasluh the Shadowstalker watched as the small collection of ships stitched out of the system, in one of the gravity shadows of the gas giant that the Humans called Jupiter. He had read what he could about the system, from the Human data networks. The planet’s name was the name of one of the gods of a people long dead, but who had conquered much of the world in their time. All the planets, ...

“Move, move, move!”

 

Raúl Moruga urged his team forward as they ran for cover. After watching that ‘Freedomland’ dungeon get what was coming to it, their team had decided that it was time they start learning about dungeons out, away from Texas. Sure, Texas had dungeons, and some of them were spectacular places to delve for loot and levels, but there was a whole world open to them, now that those portals were opening up.

Dannet Darkhand, Lord Mayor of Crystalshield, snarled as he looked back upon the force arrayed against his city. A group of Inquisitors, by the looks of them, from Eclana. Self-righteous bastards always went about like they owned the place, even outside of their borders, like they were now.

While I was an immortal lich, and therefore did not need to eat to survive, I did still take some pleasure in ‘human’ actions like eating breakfast, when I had cause to indulge in them. It was one of the ways I tried to stay grounded, connected to the mortal world. Some might wonder why I felt it important to remain connected to mortal wants and desires, but they did not understand how easy it would be for me to simply wave a hand and elim...

Once the sacrifice was made, the door slid open with the grinding sound of stone upon stone, allowing them into the interior of the pyramid. Without saying a word, Ashera slid smoothly into the front of the group. Normally, either Bargulg or Ratha would be in the lead, since they were the vanguards, but, even if they hadn’t been in a dungeon, he and his team were far too experienced to believe that there wouldn’t be traps ahead.

Midnight’s words may have been as close to a compliment as she got when talking about men, but I was under no illusions that she had changed her thoughts about me, personally. As she said, this and that were two separate things. She had a strong dislike, possibly even hatred of men as a whole, and those who acted as I did were even higher on her shit list.

 

Still, there was no need for me to concern myself with that over-much. As ...

By the time I had delivered the recordings of my interrogation of the idiot zealot to the different people I needed them to go to, it was after dinner on Easter Island, and I had no reason to make my pilots go flying through the night, especially since we’d already paid for the hotel rooms. While I had intended to head to the Chilean mainland today, we were not so pressed for time that I needed to rush. Plus, it would give the local government m...

A blast of abyssal flame roared along with Ena’s words, causing Bargulg to laugh as the last of the undead in their path were consumed by the sorceress’s fury. “I believe that they were already dead, Ena. You just made them dead again.”

I was considering who I would talk to next in this session of awkward mingling between mind controllers, but it appeared that someone else had decided to take that decision out of my hands.

Bargulg looked at his pets, confirming that they were ready. They had managed to avoid drawing the giant beast’s attention as they crossed the desert, even with the restriction on flight being the same as it was on the floor before. Even those of his pets who didn’t have wings were able to use his [Air Plate] spell to walk just above the sand without touching it. It took a toll on his mana, draining just slightly faster than he recovered it, b...

Safar and I chatted for a while, after I set up the barrier that would keep those outside the property line from seeing what was happening. It would not prevent anyone from coming onto the site, however, since it was more like a privacy curtain than anything else. But it would be enough to keep the construction work from unsettling the locals.

I chuckled as I looked on, watching Bargulg and his pets as they reacted to the gift I left them in the treasure chest. Sure, they’d taken the safest, least-interesting way to defeat the boss, but I couldn’t really fault them for that. The Lewd Uranium Slime Lord was dangerous enough that I’d left it at the peak of Tier 2, rather than bumping it to Tier 3.

 

And it wasn’t like they just blasted it in one go. They used ...

One of the reasons I had decided for us to have a small layover on Easter Island was because, shortly before takeoff, Lilah had contacted me, and told me that the property deal in Egypt had gone through. There were some local concerns, of course, but I had the land I needed, and permission to start building a temple to Murena. Which was good, because I needed the work finished before I went there to deal with the seal.
