I became a legion lich

151 Treevor against all

“Shit, that fucking hurts!” The blue fang screamed as it grabbed its own arm, feeling the flesh on its arm being devoured. As a desperate measure, he tried to freeze part of his arm to ease the pain, finding that the poison had lost its effects.

The parasitic venom was weak against sudden temperature changes, the spores that made up the venom died easily in the cold.

“Good to know the poison is weak to cold. But man, we’re fucked, aren’t we?” Blue Fang asked as he looked at the nearly 2000 corpses that Treevor had killed in less than two minutes after he got away.

“It might not be as bad as you think. I doubt he can launch attacks like that whenever he wants. It’s likely either consumed too much energy or has a long cooldown. Either way, he’ll be weakened or unable to attack this form for some time.” The black fang spoke trying to be positive, but he himself did not believe his words.

Treevor lost interest in the Crusaders after seeing the fear and hesitation underneath all that fanaticism. He turned to the adventurers busy removing the priests’ robes and retrieving their equipment, now that his plans had been completely futile.

Most were unable to react to Treevor’s sudden intrusion, but they recovered after seeing Treevor slaughter the Crusaders. All the adventurers slowly gathered around the blue fang, waiting for him to take command.

“Are you okay? Can you still fight?” An archer wearing green leather armor asked as she approached, never taking her eyes off Treevor.

She was Olivia, the wind mage of the blue fang group. She was responsible for hindering Treevor’s movements, using her pressure control spell. Olivia could control the surrounding air using this spell, increasing and decreasing the pressure as she pleased.

The spell didn’t have much offensive power, but it was excellent at controlling and sealing enemy movements, befitting its role as team support.

.....

“That should do it.” The blue fang spoke as he took a mid-level healing potion and poured it on his forearm, closing the wound that the poison had opened. “Hey, piece stick! How long are you going to stand there?”

“I was hoping you all would regroup. It wouldn’t be fun fighting you any other way.” Treevor spoke in anticipation. Sensing the fight to come, the hawk flew away to avoid getting involved. His job was just to transmit the spells the mages cast, not to fight directly.

“You really are underestimating us.” The blue fang spoke and stood guard, pointing its spear at Treevor’s chest. “Ruy. My name is Ruy.”

“You can find out my name after you die and join us.” Treevor spoke and picked up a whip in each hand, each of the vines on the back of his head pointing at the adventurers.

“One last question. You must be about five meters tall, why are you human size?” Ruy asked something that had bothered him for some time.

“I just felt that being a huge monster would be a disadvantage here. Adventurers are used to fighting monsters that are bigger and stronger than them. It’s also a great opportunity to train myself, as I’m not used to fighting that size.” Treevor responded smoothly.

A moment of tension ensued as they both stared at each other, trying to anticipate the other’s next move. Who moved first was Ruy.

He kicked the ground and lunged at Treevor, the stone floor cracking as he passed.

Treevor responded by swinging both whips in an X shape, at the same time releasing blades of aura from the whips.

Ruy leaned forward until his body almost touched the ground, letting both blades pass over his head, only for a perfectly timed stone spike to hit him in the chest and send him flying.

His titan sharkhide armor withstood the damage, but it still knocked the air out of his lungs and should have left him open to a second attack. The whips changed trajectory and tried to hit Ruy in the air, but the last one kicked an air platform conjured by his brother and narrowly dodged the attack.

‘How did he use a wind spell? Was it the effect of his equipment?’ Treevor wondered, but didn’t let him get too far and used the spirit impulse to jump and tried to crush Ruy’s skull with his fist.

“It won’t be that easy!” Olivia screamed and cast pressure control again, stopping Treevor in mid-stride. Off the ground, Treevor wouldn’t have many ways to resist the spell and ended up falling before reaching him.

Treevor fell to the ground and Ruy dove on top of him, aiming the spear at Treevor’s forehead. With his body still restrained by air pressure, it would be difficult to dodge, but Treevor had already thought of a simple way to overcome this limitation. Just kill the spellcaster.

The vines on the back of her head curled into a spiral above her head, at the same time conjuring the ice age towards Olivia. The spear managed to pierce one, but there were dozens of whips and its strength was not enough to pierce through them all.

Olivia began breathing heavily and shivering from the cold, feeling her temperature drop rapidly. Black ice flakes accumulated on its body and sapped its strength. She tried to get as far away as possible, but Treevor had cast the spell using both his amber energy and his core energy, so the area of effect was quite large.

Lucky for her, the surrounding adventurers didn’t just stand by and watch as she died. The spell had hit a few adventurers as well, and anyone with an affinity for fire or water tried to soften the spell’s effect, their teamwork undoing Treevor’s spell.

“Hey, don’t be a coward!” Ruy shouted angrily, releasing one of the spells his brother had cast. A flammable gas flew towards Treevor, passing through the gaps between the vines before it burned his body.

“Tch!” Treevor snapped his tongue in annoyance and backed away, conjuring a layer of black ice to smother the flames. He also cast a spell of darkness that restored his scorched vines.

Treevor tried to run at Ruy again, but a barrage of spells stopped him from advancing. The mages among the adventurers aimed their spells at Treevor the moment he and Ruy walked away.

A two-layered corrupted mana barrier appeared and blocked all spells. Whenever the first layer took damage, Treevor would let the second take the damage while restoring the first, allowing him to keep both of them.

‘Note to self. Practice double barriers if we survive this.’ Ruy thought with admiration.

“Annoying flies!” With a wave of his hand, Treevor rained down sharp ice crystals on the mages, but the tanks stepped forward and raised their shields, shielding the mages from the ice crystals.

Frontline adventurers rushed to surround Treevor. They were only on the second or third layer, but they would be enough to distract him.

Treevor attacked them all at once. the vines on the back of its head spread out in an attempt to impale the adventurers, but they all missed their targets.

The adventurers weren’t stupid and figured they wouldn’t be able to react to Treevor’s attacks, so they rolled the moment he moved, narrowly saving their lives.

Despite there being an auto-targeting enchantment, there was a limit to how many targets Treevor could attack at once and by splitting his focus, his attacks became telegraphed and predictable.

The adventurers immediately got up and cut down the nearest vines, making their biggest mistake. Normally, most weapons wouldn’t be able to harm Treevor, but the latter purposely lowered its resistance and all the vines were severed, releasing the contained parasitic poison.

The poison immediately took on a gaseous form and poisoned all of the adventurers. They began to writhe as they fell to the ground, most of the severed vines slithering along the ground like snakes and returning to Treevor’s body.

“It won’t work twice!” Ruy screamed and conjured an icy mist that rendered the poison useless, just as Treevor wanted.

Treevor cast two water spells, the first generating a wave of water that hit all surrounding adventurers and the second that immediately froze them.

Ruy cursed himself for his mistake and tried to unfreeze the closest adventurers, but Treevor’s whips were on him again and Ruy was forced to roll for his life.

Treevor took advantage of the gap to fire bullets of darkness at the frozen adventurers, killing them while they were unable to fight back.

“Looks like playtime is over.” Treevor muttered sadly. Rui didn’t understand right, but a war roar came from behind him, making him turn around in fright.

Orus was running towards them on the bicorn, with his personal guard, tamers and adventurers behind him. The adventurers who were supposed to protect the mages had stayed behind along with the mages, protecting them now that they were out of mana.

Orus rallied them all as he advanced, leaving the mages behind.
