Look closely at the really awesome Lich!
"But I’m still only at the lower levels."
Weed took a glance at his transformed look and was satisfied with the change.
He had transformed into an absurdly average skeleton lich.
I am lower leveled compared to Lich Shire and he was insufficient when compared to the higher level Lich Bar Khan.
But now, I do have the necromancer ability Death Aura and by practicing the dark arts I have now amplified undead summoning in exchange for their deaths.
One of the disadvantages of the Death Aura is that its range is small. He would need a better way to satisfy this condition.
"I don’t need to wear high heels in order to get some height."
Because he was floating 30 cm from the ground his eyes sparkled, as his point of view has improved.
Liches are strong at night nevertheless he was able to move well during daytime.
"Hmmm."
On the other hand, Drinpelt's fleet was still chasing them while crossing adverse circumstances.
“They are going to catch up to us in 5 minutes”.
Keeping in mind the speed of the opponent's boat, calculating how much time it would take for them to be within magical range.
Weed's sailboat barely escapes the magical shot as flames whizzed by.
It was while passing by them in the sailboat hauling the japtem, Weed heard.
“Here”
“We are here”
“Weed-nim, we have been waiting for you. Please give us a ride. This way!”
Far from the river there were three humanoid figures, shaking and shivering they weren't looking for trouble. But they found it.
The group was walking past the glacier area, somehow trying their best to stay alive.
Hoping that Weed will come this way when leaving the river.
Weed rose to the deck to ardently see the scene from the rear portion of his vessel.
“What? Stop to help you, Drinpelt’s battleship fleet is chasing us, you know?”
“Please Weed-nim give us a ride.”
“Oh-Oh! Wrong! I'm not going to give you a ride.”
“Weed-nim, we have tried to return to the continent, but there was no way...”
Common sense would suggest that while escaping from the river and running from a massive fleet there was no way he would turn back to get the three of them. He had no obligation to save them.
After weed passed them, the three of them ran across the glacier on foot looking for something to reach the boat.
There were no trees around to build a raft. They were also in a predicament since the levels of the mobs are beyond their reach.
They went along downstream of the Unfreezing River, then they rode across a small board dipped in the icy waters in order to cross to the glacier out in the sea.
Of course, in the middle of the sea, glaciers tend to melt and are discarded but if you were to see their miserable plight, even a blind man could have seen them.
"Please give us a ride!"
The triad tried, desperately shouting, to reduce the speed of the sailboat when Weed came close.
Weed was on top of the deck.
"Going to the Mainland?"
"Yes, of course. We've changed, all our bad qualities are gone!"
Maybe if they lived here for a few months to one year on this sad isolated land they won't be so ignorant anymore and will change their ways.
In Royal road a place full of joy and happiness, they were trapped in a remote place for so long as if they were locked up!
Tears were hardly seen as they were pretending to cry with a running nose. As they plead, Heinz, Fractal and Bodomir were like gentle lambs.
Weed calmly replied.
"My ship boarding fees are a bit expensive... How much money do you have on you? "
He may have changed into a lich but his love for money had not grown any less.
Heinz eyeballs rolled, however famous of a villain you may be, if you're certain to suffer then you would have to respond obediently.
"The three of us together have 2,759 gold."
In other words the amount was so small that Weed could just easily walk away.
But in reality he had barely half of that proposed amount.
Weed shook his head at the suggested offer.
"The toll is 7,000 gold ... I'm sorry but I will never budge."
"Yes? But Weed ajeossi can't we take this ride for free we've been waiting for you...
There is no way we can pay your proposed amount. You can't leave us here, there is no way to escape this place!
