Chapter 167: Luke’s Wrath 2

“How can I not know your heart? But don’t be so pessimistic . Princess Reina is still alive . She came back to earth alive . ”

At the words of Erenes, Luke’s eyes flashed a sign of life .

“Those words, you’re sure about that, right? If you lie to me, I’ll bring down the fairies along with you . ”

“Hut, when did I ever say anything wrong to you?”

Luke didn’t respond to it .

The wise man of the fairies, Erenes, always spoke words thinking about the future . His words never come true quickly, so they couldn’t be believed .

But his words held no lie, and all of his predictions came true .

If Saymon had just listened to the warning he got about staying away from the knight with the golden aura, he might not have been defeated by Rakan .

“But she is the only strength that is left of me, where is… Kul kul!”

“Matser!”

Suddenly, when Erenes coughed black blood, Erwin became nervous and ran to him .

But the one who was shocked the most was Luke .

He did hear the news that Erenes’s health was bad, but he didn’t know that it was this serious .

Looking at Erenes’ condition, he realized that it wasn’t a disease because of aging .

His lungs and other vital organs were crushed to an incurable state and were apparently hit by dark magic .

“What happened? Who the hell did this to you?”

“If you hear my words you’ll be surprised and angry too . ”

Erenes, with a bitter smile, continued to speak with his powerless voice, “Arsene, the one who made me like this is Arsene . ”

“Arsene? You mean…” Luke tried to talk .

“Yeah, the only Arsene you know . ”

‘That guy is still alive?’

At the words of Erenes, Luke couldn’t help but be shocked and angry .

His fists shook with anger . It was like the aura around his body would explode any moment .

Erenes’ words were the only things stuck in his ear, and he could barely hold himself .

“He went completely blind on greed and corrupted himself . Now he is neither alive nor dead, ” Erenes said .

‘Lich!’

Luke, with considerable knowledge of dark magic, understood what Erenes was trying to say .

The constant power that a Lich had in an immortal body was strong enough to fight demons .

However, even with that mighty power, the warlocks refused to sell their souls to become a Lich .

Once a Lich, they would lose any chances of having a normal life and suffer forever because of a terrible curse .

‘What on earth did that Arsene guy do to become a Lich?’

“It’s an ugly excuse, but I wouldn’t have asked Princess Reina to do it if I hadn’t been beaten by him . He’s already mastered dark and white magic, and it’s almost impossible to get rid of him with swordsmanship or general magic . ”

Magi’s epidemic was divine power .

But in the current time, no one in the Rhodesia continent was strong enough to face Arsene head-on .

The Pope of the Holy Arthenia Empire couldn’t overpower him .

That was why Erenes was determined that the only means to fight against a Lich was using elemental power, and to get that strength, he needed the door to the Spirit World to be opened .

“Kul! Kukl…! You already know that I’m not scared of death . If anyone would follow after me and fulfill the wishes of the fairies, I’m happy to die . But I am afraid that the beings who disturbed the realm of life and death will cause this world to end . ”

If Arsene’s power as a Lich continued to grow stronger, the continent, or Middle-Earth, would be ruined .

When that time came, neither the fairies nor the humans would be able to withstand their downfall .

Erenes took a twig from his sleeve and handed it to Luke .

“Please defeat Arsene . All the fairies will follow and help you . ”

“You don’t even have to say it,” Luke assured him .

Luke once again had a vengeful expression . He looked at Erenes who had a calm face .

Until then, he was forced to try and live a little more, but now he had reached his limit .

Even if he held on for a few more days, he would still meet his end .

“Then, I have a favor . ”

At the words of Erenes, Luke nodded .

Luke looked over at the attendants who were there .

Erwin and the dark elves bowed to him . They could feel a strong will to follow him and any of his commands .

Luke looked at them with his cold expression and spoke to them, “I believe that you know what you have to do . I hope you won’t break my hope and beliefs for your own sake . ”

“…”

Understanding what Luke meant, they all nodded quietly, and everyone went out of the room except for Erwin, who was looking after Erenes .

Luke ended up calling for Victor, who was standing on a corner .

“Please bring in Sir Pavel because there is something I need to discuss with him and tell Meister Mute of Katarina Magic Tower that I will visit him soon . ”

“Understood . ”

There was a lot he wanted to ask, but Victor suppressed his curiosity and followed Luke’s command . The important thing in the moment wasn’t to satisfy his curiosity but to find Princess Reina .

After Victor went out, Luke went to the permanent manor of Lamer .

The report about Reina disappearing and the story of Arsene was frustrating and complicated .

However, it wasn’t like he could just sit down and think .
