chapter 16

Using earth to stir up the land beneath this sprawling city of death John watched as the building collapsed and crumbled but that wasn't the enough as using fire manipulation to raise the temperature 2,000° Fahrenheit which immediately turned all the surrounding stone into lava under John control which he soon used to sweep through the city killing any and all monsters it could as it slowly made its way to the center of the city where it formed a mountain of obsidian with a cross on top of it.

'Now for the final touch'

[Grand holy magic: Blessings of the heavens]

Using this skill on the cross John used an entire 1/4 of his entire mana reserve which was completely filled as the previous actions didn't even take .5% of his mana.

'Now this should filter out the bad mana but why does it feel like something is going to happen?'

Questioning himself quietly John felt a bit like he was forgetting something important but he soon shrugs it off as he got ready to leave back to the candy kingdom but not even two steps later a Giant hand made of sickly green light grabbed him dragging him to what he could only assume to be a pocket dimension as he felt his ability to control the elements get weakened greatly, luckily his other skills seem to remain the same.

"So you are the one who has invaded my lands"

Hearing a weak voice coming from my surroundings John didn't panic as he calmly tried to look around for who said it only to fail as the area pass a hundred meters is pitch black even with his passive ability of night vision.

"The lich I presume?"

"The one and only~"

*Boom*

*CRACK*

Getting a reply after his questions a smile which should have been impossible on his boney face crept onto his face as he released 25% of his mana into his surrounding instantly shattering the pocket dimension to reveal that he now stood inside what looked to be the thrown room of a castle.

"How?!?"

Hearing the lich's question John raised one of the twin claymores he just created and pointed it at the Lich who stood up from a throne made of bones as he looked at the super serious John.

"Through the power of friendship!"

"What?"

Hearing John's answer the lich entered a confused state of mind which left many openings which John didn't miss as he charged forward.

[Grand holy magic: Blessings] + [Grand Flame Magic: Blaze] = [Grand fusion magic: Raguel Holy Flame]

Raising the two claymores above his head, two brilliant White Flame lit up on them immediately spreading to surround the entire body of the swords as a heat that could rival the surface of the sun spread out into the surrounding area luckily not hurting John as he was the skill user but sadly the lich wasn't as lucky.

"Ahhhhhhhhh"

The lich who had no defense against the flame screams in pain as the heat and holy engery slowly got closer and closer doing more damage.

"[Death magic: preservation of the strong]"

Casting a spell in between his screams a black goo began to cover the body of the lich who slowly began to laugh while staring at the blades of John.

"I will have my-"

"Oh hell no!"

The interrupting the lich's cliche way of speaking John brought his two two swords down on the two uncovered portions of the lich's body.

"Ahhhhhhhhh"

Screaming one last time as he lost half of his torso and a leg before finally being fully covered in the black liquid.

'Now how should I deal with this?'
