The Lich

Although the situation was dire if I didn't get to healing myself immediately, my situation was nowhere near as bad as it was when I first entered the Dwarven Kingdom with that shipment. It was terrible since I had to deal more damage to myself to start the real healing process.

Days passed, but I made a full recovery, and I was fed Nutrient bombs that I had stored for just this type of occasion, which sped up my healing. My body was in ruff shape, and no nutrient was left unused. Although that meant at the end, I stank since I decided to sweat out all the toxins instead of waiting to use the bathroom.

There was simply too much to let build up in my system. Someone was wiping me off, and when I got up, I felt a wave crash lightly against the galley side. My eyes fluttered open, and I stretched, feeling exhausted but needing to move after several days of not moving. When my eyes opened, I noticed Emily smiling above me with a large smile and slight tears in her eyes. "You're awake!" Emily exclaimed.

The simple exclamation brought a fury of movement over to me, and Betsy Rose and Mira showed their faces around me. It was a crowd, and soon Kate and Mally were also around, followed by the elven twins and Tina. It was a crowd, and the room was packed. "Gimme a second, ladies; I am still recovering," I stated, my throat feeling dry. "Water, please," I said, and a second later, I had water in my hands.

I quenched my thirst with a sigh of relief and smiled, "Well, I think I won the fight, but I am not really sure as it all happened so fast. I did hear you, Mira declaring my victory." I said.

"Good, The Lich wants to talk to you and has joined us on this ship. I have been watching over it. The Lich has stated that it will only hand its phylactery since that was the deal. You will need to visit it soon after resting some more." Mira told me, and I nodded.

That was a good idea; as I got up, I felt at least four hands press against my chest, pushing me back down. "Not yet," I heard Emily, Kate, Mally, and Rose say together. "You need to rest."

"I need to move for a moment and see if I put something back the wrong way," I replied with a wry smile. "I had to put some of my organs and muscles back together, and I want to see if I made a mistake." I continued and paused for a long yawn. "I just need to stretch a bit and make sure I got everything right, and then I need to rest. I was awake the entire time I was laying down concentrating on too many things at once."

I got some worried looks, but soon, I was allowed to stand and stretch. Meanwhile, I heard some whispers, and my mind started to turn foggy with sleepiness. Although I could meditate to rest, I did need some actual sleep. My body was deprived of rest, and even my mana was significantly depleted as I needed to spend some time meditating to recover. So many things and so little time that in which, I barely noticed a kiss on my cheek when Emily came close. "Be more careful next time, please," Emily said before rushing out.

My heart warmed, and I regretted making them all worry. It probably was going to happen again and again, though, when the war began. I would need to get faster at not only healing myself but casting my spells. I remembered the brazen decision to incorporate mana throughout my body parts and tint them to a form of mana.

I turned my arm and hand along with most of my body into the void mana, breaking reality. I wish I got to see the aftermath, but I knew I took out the Lich. That wasn't the complete picture, though, as I repeatedly took her attack straight into my back. The damage that had been done to my body was significant, to say the least. Luckily none directly hit my spine, but whatever her spell did make my body rot. It was like a virus parasite at the molecular level that tore and ate my flesh as fast as possible.

I had to tear out even parts of my liver and kidneys in order to start the healing process. That made the Lich a very dangerous enemy that could hit you and run. In the end, you would die from the magical rot that you had to sever from your body in order to heal completely. I shivered and then yawned as my ability to think began to degrade as I began to relax.

After checking, I found nothing out of place, and I smiled. I walked over to the bed again and noticed new sheets on it. I collapsed onto them, and I felt some arms wrap around me. I looked up to see Mally smiling. "You had me worried. Come sleep with me as I take a nap." Mally told me and pulled my head onto her breasts which I promptly fell asleep on.

When I awoke again, I was still resting on Mally's breasts and seemed to have been drooling. As my tired brain started to wake up, I realized it wasn't drooling, and it was milk. "Oh, You naughty sex demon," I said, my voice hoarse again. "You are lactating," I said, "Good thing I am thirsty," I said, and I didn't stop myself and took her breast into my mouth. Sweet flavor erupted in my mouth as I sucked the sex demon's milk right from the nipple.

Mally moaned and groaned for a moment as I sucked on her tit when she finally said, "That was a wake-up call," She said, her voice laced with need in it. "My downstairs also has some juices flowing and could use some company."

I side-eyed her, almost smiled, and switched breasts as Doorknocker started to get hard. I moved and sucked on her breast, getting a mouthful of sweet milk in my mouth, which I promptly swallowed before kissing down to her core. Mally moaned as I reached her pussy and began sucking on her clit. Her moans seemed to wake others, and soon I felt hands on my ass. "Chelsea, it isn't fair that you play alone," I heard Betsy say. "I wonder how it smells down here?" I heard her say before I felt her face dive between my ass cheeks. I moaned as she suddenly took a deep sniff of what must smell not great. Betsy didn't stop, and I felt her spread my cheeks even wider before she began.

I felt her tongue penetrate me, and I moaned, and Doorknocker throbbed as she began to dive deep into my asshole. I moaned but continued to eat out Mally's tight pussy that I planned to stretch once again and greet my baby, letting it know that daddy was here. Mally cried out in pleasure as I moved my tongue, and my fingers joined in fingering her just as I felt a mouth wrap around Doorknocker, making me moan. I had no idea who it was at this moment, but I didn't care as I ate my woman's pussy. She cried out as I knew that Mally was quickly reaching her peak, and I looked up at her as she grabbed her breasts and played with her nipples as milk leaked down her breasts.

I moaned, joined with a couple of other moans, when I felt Mally fill my mouth with her ejaculate as she reached her peak. I swallowed every drop as fast as I could, not allowing a drop to leave my mouth. When I got up to stand, I saw Tina lying down sucking on my cock, and Betsy moved with me sniffing my ass as she gave me a rim job. I couldn't help but moan as both women didn't stop for a second.

Tina lightly gripped my balls, keeping me on my knees, and she looked up at me. "Me first," She demanded, taking my cock out of her mouth and moving to present her pussy for me. "Fuck me with that massive cock!" She cried out. "My pussy needs its daddy!" She cried out, getting herself more and more in the mood by talking about the size of my cock.

I shoved Doorknocker in without complaint starting a massive sex party as I released seed into all my women. I took Tina hard, although not pushing too hard since my child was in her fragile frame. I couldn't help but love her tight cunt that made it feel like it would come out the other end if I shoved every inch in her. That didn't matter at this moment as I got a Rim job from Betsy and took Tina hard with my cock. As I was on my knees, more people entered the room, taking Tina from behind, quickly reaching my first peak as Betsy helped me reach there. I released my seed into Tina moments later, moaning loudly.

As soon as I pulled out of Tina, Mally pulled me in to finish the job I had started with her. I began to thrust my hips hard while Betsy continued to lick my asshole, eating it out while her nose took every little stink it could. I heard her moaning as she took my smell in and reminded myself that I knew by instinct that she was a pervert after being with her in the Elven forest.

Memories flooded my mind of how Betsy always looked sad if we washed our clothes in a stream. Now it was all obvious that Besty loved horrible smells and got insanely turned on from it. Later, when I stuck Doorknocker in her, it was dripping wet, and I almost came by just pushing into her wanting body.

It wasn't until hours later that I finally got dressed and found myself on the ship's hold. With crates of food and Florine keeping guard, the Lich didn't move as Mira followed me into the hold. I looked at the cute pale blue Lich, smiling with bright white teeth.

"Ah, Such abundant life energy on you," The Lich said with a smile as I stepped off the ladder that led in and out of the hold. "So much sexual energy as well. No wonder a Succubus of her standing doesn't mind being around you. You radiate life and sexual energy." The Lich said.

"It is what it is," I replied as I walked toward the Lich, "Now about your phylactery?" I asked.

The LIch looked at me and sighed, "A deal is a deal, and a bet is a bet, Chelsea." The Lich said and tossed a ring at me. It was a nice silver band, and it seemed ordinary when it touched my hand. In my curiosity, I touched it with mana, and my eyes lit up as I was hit with a massive amount of mana in return. "Please, Don't touch my phylactery with mana. Usually, if you are using mana around it, it will adapt to it. I put a lot of research into persevering my body. You almost broke it with whatever that embodiment spell you cast was at the end. Luckily you turned me into six very large parts and missed the hand my phylactery was on." I saw the Lich lean back. "Still, it kind of sucks losing that bet. But being on land after the last years of being on the sea will be fantastic. Such a stupid operation that nearly got us all killed." the Lich lamented.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I won't tell you, and I shouldn't have said anything. I have made a vow to my former guild that I will not speak about those events. Most of us had mostly because of how embarrassingly bad it went." The Lich sighed. "Now, enough about that!" The Lich said, looking at Florine. "I may be a Lich, and by all accounts in this world, I am considered dead. BUT!" She held up a hand, "I am a unique Necromancer specializing in the Life part of Necromancy. I know some death spells, but I specialize in life, and I was the only one I know of that goes down this field. Too bad that this branch of mana manipulation is considered Taboo." The Lich seemed disgusted with that. "Such short-visioned idiots." The Contempt in her voice was thick.

"Well, it also makes my hair stand on end whenever I am close to an undead creature," I said, which I realized standing near her I hadn't felt in the past couple of days.

"Incorrect," The Lich replied with a smile sitting back down on a crate, "Only those raised with manipulation of mana to raise the dead into zombies and skeletons will you. Or even Liches if they didn't choose to be raised from the dead. Those like myself who became a Lich on their own terms and created their own phylactery to preserve their body so they may continue to explore the depths of mana will not raise your instincts." The Lich explained, "I am the only one I know who uses Life Necromancy, and so I looked into why and haven't quite come to a conclusion. The fact that undead makes your skin crawl seems to be an automatic response from every living creature I have discovered. Fascinating research, I guarantee you." The Lich stopped.

To be honest with myself, I was insanely interested in what the Lich had to say. It gave me goosebumps, almost thinking about all the abilities you could give a risen dead and the versatility an army of undead skeletons could do. It would be like a legion of machines doing things for you. You could change Farming society and move the world into an era of thought over labor.

Even muscle-powered machines would become a stable form of electricity!

I shook my head, hoping to banish those thoughts. I wasn't a necromancer, and I had enough trouble with my own things at this moment. "I have to admit that is fascinating. But why are you attacking ships?" I asked.

"Supplies," The Lich said, "Just because a boat of the dead doesn't need food does not mean we don't need lumber to fix holes to stop the ship from sinking. I don't want my body to get bloated! I like how I preserved myself. I look amazing!" The Lich said, and I couldn't help the question that was in my mind.

"You are not the first Lich I met," I told it. "The other I met was all bones and gave off the feeling of dread. I am wondering if you even feel anything in that body?" I asked before continuing, "From what I thought, Liches body should be lifeless." When I finished talking, the Lich was smiling brightly.

"I am not a typical Lich!" The Lich said, "I am Tayler the Lich of Life!" The Lich announced. "I came up with a way to bind life in my body so that I can still feel and taste! I can taste the most exquisite wine and food and feel full. However, I don't need it to survive. I would never ever give up the simple pleasures of life. Hell, a life without sex either," The Lich fake shuddered. "Nope, I made sure this body can feel everything, including the hot and cold. It just can't kill me without destroying my phylactery."

"Fascinating," I smiled and couldn't help but question something. "I have to ask this question then," I began, "Taylor," I continued slowly addressing the Liches name, "Are you male or female, and what race are you?" I asked.

The Lich smiled in response.
