548 Bloody Revenge (Part 2)

Lith looked at his clock. There was still half an hour before the Wardens sent by the army would start tearing down the underground complex. He had no intention of calling off the attack. Not until he was sure that the orc shaman was no more.

"Can you turn off the device?" Lith asked Ratpack while pointing at the amplifier.

"No. We must wait for master."

Lith cursed his bad luck and used Clean Slate on the barrier surrounding the amplifier to no avail. The spell required physical contact to work and the paranoid lich had shielded his creation on purpose.

Invigoration too worked in a similar way, so that Lith's only way to pass time was to study the pseudo core of the various barriers around the lab, hoping that Solus could reproduce them to improve her tower form's defenses.
