The Earth After Rebirth

"Felix, you dunce! Why weren\'t you healing him." He said while using vibrations to stun them in place.

Felix didn\'t reply, he simply wore a sadistic smile on his face and shrugged. He started healing him then, his mana was almost entirely drained, another second and he would have been in a comatose state.

\'Yeah, a masochist through and through.\'

Nikolai didn\'t need to be told as he blasted through the formation and into enemy territory. He didn\'t want to use his death ballad, because that would compromise his comrades. He stuck with his dagger. Poisoning them as he went deeper.

Hiro just stood there, standing guard while Felix was doing his job.

Vibrations caused a disturbance in the atmosphere, the Lich couldn\'t hope to summon more. So they dwindled in numbers, and Kiro was able to discern where the culprit had been hiding.

He must\'ve known he was found out because he sent a spell of dark flames. Kiro uses Ryu to fuel the damage whirlwind could cause.

The spell was sent in different directions, the impact on either side was devasting, rubble shot through the air falling on them like a summer\'s rain.

Hiro used his shield to protect themselves. While Kiro used his speed, fists and staff. Nikolai did the same.

"I must say, I\'ve been bested here it\'d be idiotic to stick around." The Lich King proclaimed in cheerful voice.

His body started to liquidify, attempting to escape in one of the drainages nearby.

"Oh no you f*cken don\'t you little weasel, just like your master."

Kiro pressed hard and reversed his liquid state, slowly turning him back to a solid undead. But it wouldn\'t be easy, the Lich King was fighting. So he went back and forth from liquid to solid.

The others watched in amazement as Kiro defied the laws of reality as they knew it. I mean, he had told them he had acquired these abilities, but it was still bizarre to watch.

They didn\'t move a muscle, scared to be caught up in all of it. He was quickly losing chunks of his energy, he knew he wouldn\'t be able to hold on forever.

"Nikolai, don\'t just stand there, kill it."

Nikolai was pulled out from his trance state, he was ways away from them, it still took him a single second and he was in front of the blob that couldn\'t decide which state it wanted to be in.

He pushed through his dagger, but just then an explosion sounded which sent him back to where he came from.

"Sh*t. He escaped."

Ding!

[You\'ve defeated the Lich King\'s army and caused him to flee. EXP 100k. Coins 500.]

Kiro thought if they defeated the Lich, the sun would come back out. It was now dark, their only source of light was the weirdly shaped moon and stars.

Of course all of them could see almost perfectly in the darkness. They walked back to camp immediately feeling a little bit defeated, Kiro ordered his beasts to guide them from the skies to avoid taking the wrong route again.

Upon arriving, there was complete silence. No humming, or sound of bees coming from inside the movie theatre. The place looked as dead as the rest of the city. Though it was strange that, it hadn\'t fallen, it did look abanonded. Plants did cling on it, but that was about it. It was not slanting like the other buildings.

"Are you guys sure it was this one?"

"Positive." Felix answered Hiro.

Kiro took a look around, but he couldn\'t see anything from the inside. The windows were boarded up, the door was also locked with a chain and a padlock, they\'d have to force it to get it to open.

"Spectres, can\'t you feel anything?"

"Death?" they said at the same time, more of a question than certainty.

Kiro paced, scratching his head. He was almost out of energy from using his energy consuming abilities. He was absorbing but it wasn\'t fast enough.

He stopped and looked at Kel, "Can\'t you look through the walls?"

Kel simply looked at him dumbly. Kiro was just asking, he didn\'t expect an answer, he knew his skills and they didn\'t include X-ray vision.

He cursed whoever brought him back, just to change the dungeons of this game, now his future game information was pretty much useless. He found himself hoping that, this was just a dungeon that wasn\'t discovered in his past life.

He wasn\'t too mad though, he had already made a lot of money from the game, which was his goal in the first place. Now, his responsibilities only grew longer. There was much to do.

His real objective for a while had been to destroy the way his society operated. With the new information from Nikolai, it only served to strengthen his resolve. He was almost certain his grandfather was no longer alive, but he wanted to uncover what he died for.

"Can\'t we just break the door down?"

Kiro was jerked from his thoughts by Ishaan\'s question.

"We at least need to be prepared, for that we need to know what we\'re dealing with." Nikolai answered before Kiro could. He nodded in agreement.

"I\'ll have to use vibrational sense to see what\'s going on inside." Kiro proclaimed.

Kel looked at him with a expression that said, \'if you could do that, why did you have to ask me to see through walls?\'

Kiro noticed this, but he paid him no mind. He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate hard on absorbing faster.

He sat cross-legged and within seconds unwittingly entered the meditative state.
