Chapter 187: Chapter 187
“This floor gave me the creeps”, Eru muttered while observing the dark and gloomy corridor around him. “People usually died in these types of corridors in the movies”, Eru mumbled while touching the dark stone wall. “Huh?” Eru furrowed his eyebrows when his hand came in contact with the dark stone wall. “Why did I feel a pulse from the wall?” Eru pondered with a frown.
Then, Eru heard the dark stone wall before him crack. Little by little, the dark stone wall was crumbling down, startling Eru. Eru stepped back a few times while drawing his black sword, “Not good”, Eru exclaimed. Eru felt something powerful was behind the crumbling dark stone wall as his vigilance rose. Then suddenly, the dark stone wall broke down completely, and a dark smog oozed outside. Sensing that there was something wrong with the dark smog, Eru immediately retreated by jumping backwards several times.
Eru’s instinct was proven correct as wherever the dark smog passed by, the ground around it slowly disintegrated into pieces. Eru squinted his eyes; he tried to make out the figure behind the black smog. Then, behind the black smog, two round red lights flashed before the dark smog parted ways, revealing the figure behind the dark smog. Eru’s expression contorted when he saw the figure behind the dark smog. “A lich….” Eru exclaimed while tightening the grip on his black sword. “Intruder”, the lich wearing a black robe uttered with a hoarse and deep voice.
“Leave this place immediately or face the consequences”, the lich wearing a black robe added as its feet float from the ground. “Leave this place? I want to. If you show me where is the exit, I will leave immediately”, Eru replied nervously. The lich wearing a black robe quietened for a second before turning its back, “Follow me”, it said. Eru’s eyebrows furrowed as he followed the floating lich with some distance. “Where are you taking me?” Eru asked while seeing the dark stone wall around him shift whenever the lich passed through it. “To the exit”, the lich wearing a black robe replied nonchalantly.
Eru cautiously followed the floating lich, not daring to let down his guard. Eventually, the lich wearing a black robe led Eru to a huge, oval room. At the end of the huge, oval room, Eru found a staircase that led down towards the lower levels of the bunker. “Here you go”, the lich said with a hoarse voice, “Over there is the exit of this place” it pointed its skelly finger towards the staircase. “Thanks”, Eru said as he slowly walked back towards the staircase. Eru did not let go of his vision of the lich while walking backwards slowly towards the staircase.
After walking for a while, Eru found that the lich seemingly did not want to attack him. However, when Eru turned his body towards the staircase, the lich suddenly appeared before Eru and swung a giant scythe, blocking his path. Eru snickered, “So you want to fight after all.” The lich’s red eyes gleamed, “Of course. Although I want you to leave, what I meant was leave without your life.” The lich wearing a black robe spun its scythe in the air, “Leave your life here”, it said with a sinister voice before swinging its scythe towards Eru.
“Fast!” Eru mumbled as he watched the lich’s scythe heading towards him. Eru slightly swayed his body sideways, evading the lich’s attack. Then, suddenly Eru furrowed his eyebrows before ducking low. Turns out, another scythe passed by Eru’s head, and thanks to his fast reflexes, Eru managed to avoid the second scythe aiming for his head. The two large scythes flew around the lich, “Not bad”, it spoke, “There’s a reason why you managed to get to this level. But your path ends here.” Then, the lich waved its hands, commanding the flying scythes to attack Eru.
The two flying scythes flew near each other in tandem, and they moved in unison to make things difficult for Eru. The two flying scythes take turns in attacking Eru, not leaving the latter chances to counter-attack. “Tch”, Eru clicked his tongue, “This is bad”, he mumbled while dodging a flying scythe that came for his head. “If this continues on, I will lose stamina while the lich would have the advantage”, Eru furrowed his eyebrows, “I’ve got to do something.” Then, as a flying scythe was flying towards him, Eru’s aura multiplied suddenly. After his power rose, Eru grabbed the flying scythe as it was flying right at him.
With his raven-coloured aura coating him, Eru snapped one of the flying scythes into two and kicked the other to smithereens. The floating lich wearing a black cloak’s red eyes glimmered, “You are hiding your true power”, it spoke while taking out another scythe from out of thin air. “Likewise”, Eru let out a smirk, then Eru pointed his black sword towards the lich, “You’re quite strong yourself.” Eru lowered his posture, putting more power into his legs; Eru dashed. Eru disappeared from his spot instantly and reappeared right before the floating lich.
Eru brandished his black sword that was covered by his raven-coloured aura. The lich casually waved its hand, commanding the flying scythe to block Eru’s black sword. However, it would prove more than that to block Eru’s black sword. When Eru’s black sword, Buddy, came in contact with the lich’s flying scythe, Buddy vibrated its blade rapidly. With the vibration from Buddy, Eru’s black sword, Eru managed to slash the lich’s flying scythe in two without much trouble. The lich’s red eyes inside of its eye sockets brightened up, “Interesting.” Eru clicked his tongue, “Interesting, my ass, die!” he shouted.
Eru swung his black sword upwards, trying to cleave the floating lich wearing a black robe in two. However, the floating lich suddenly disappeared from its spot. The lich reappeared way behind Eru while taking out another flying scythe, “You need to do better than that to reach me”, the lich taunted with its hoarse voice. Eru’s lips curled up slightly, his fighting spirit ignited, “Heh”, he let out a small chuckle, “I’ll show you a lot more. Try to keep up.”

Long’s red staff clashed with the giant ghoulish monstrous creature’s large bone blade. Both Long and the giant ghoulish monstrous creature were sent sliding backwards due to their own great strength clashing against each other. The red membrane around Long continued to swirl around him, “Hahaha, that’s the way. Exert more strength, satisfy me more” Long laughed with a wide grin as his injuries were healed by the red membrane. The giant ghoulish monstrous creature roared; it put the large bone blade on its shoulder before rushing recklessly towards Long with its large body.
The giant ghoulish monstrous creature mowed down everything in its path to get to Long. The latter smirked with excitement, “That’s the way. Our contest of strength is not over yet.” Then, the red membrane around Long condensed as his skin began to have scale. Long twirled his red staff before he too charged towards the giant ghoulish monstrous creature. “Rargh!” the giant ghoulish monstrous creature roared while it swung the large bone blade with its right hand. “Hmph!” Long let out a grunt as his red staff clashed once again with the giant ghoulish monstrous creature’s large bone blade.
With a boom, the giant ghoulish monstrous creature’s large bone blade met with Long’s iconic red staff. This time, Long stood tall in his place while the giant ghoulish monstrous creature was sent flying backwards. “Hahahaha”, Long let out a laugh, “Not enough. Come at me with more power”, he taunted. As if it could hear Long, the giant ghoulish monstrous creature dug itself out of the rubble. “Roar!” the giant ghoulish monstrous creature let out a powerful roar. Then, the corpses of nearby undead monstrous creatures began to disintegrate into particles.
“Hmm?” Long furrowed his eyebrows, “What are you doing?” he muttered as he watched the corpses particles fly in the air. Then, the giant ghoulish monstrous creature hugged its own body while hunkering down. Right after it did that, the particles from the corpses of nearby undead monstrous creatures began to fly towards the giant ghoulish monstrous creature. Watching all of this, Long let out a chuckle, “Haha, so you powered yourself up, huh” Long smirked as he sensed the increase of power from the giant ghoulish monstrous creature. The giant ghoulish monstrous creature continued to absorb the corpses particles while Long just watched all of this happen.
Of course, Long could stop the giant ghoulish monstrous creature from increasing its prowess. “But why would I do that?” Long had a massive grin on his face, “If I stop it now, wouldn’t it be boring?” he mumbled with a smile. After waiting for a few seconds, the giant ghoulish monstrous creature finally absorbed all of the corpses particles. The giant ghoulish monstrous creature roared before charging once again towards Long. Long pointed his red staff at the charging giant ghoulish monstrous creature, “Come on!”
