He arrived at the 15th floor with overwhelming force. Although there were many minor monsters between the eleventh and fifteenth floors, they were merely appetizers.
"Based on my experience, this fifteenth floor will definitely cause trouble..." Yang Tao said to the Blue Knight with certainty on the stairs. The fifth and tenth floors were Boss levels, and the fifteenth floor should be no exception.
Stepping onto the fifteenth floor, he indeed saw a familiar figure: the Lich located in the Lich Tower.
"We meet again..." the old voice said, as the Lich's red eyes fell upon Yang Tao.
Yang Tao smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect to see you here either. How have you been lately?"
"Very well. During this time, I've been recalling some old knowledge. Although it's insignificant compared to the power of rules, it has benefited me greatly."
The two chatted like old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other in a long time, but such a harmonious scene couldn't last forever.
Looking at the Lich's incredibly high health bar, Yang Tao asked, "Shall we follow the procedure?"
The Lich nodded his skull and said, "There's no other way; this is your adventure. However, some of my power has been unleashed this time. Although it's not at its peak, it should cause you some trouble."
Hearing the Lich's words, Yang Tao confidently said, "It doesn't matter. We'll only know if we can succeed or not once we've tried."
"You're right. Then..."
The Lich waved the Zombie Scepter in his hand.
"It is my honor to introduce you to my most trusted followers."
A phantom knight order appeared within the Lich Tower's space.
These knights had sworn allegiance as vassals to the Great Lich, vowing never to betray the master of the Dark Lich Tower.
The oath was imbued with magic, so much so that the knights' souls are still bound.
Previously, they wandered the deserted fortress in their armor; now they have returned to their former master's side, ready to unleash the fury within them upon all enemies.
Yang Tao looked at the figures holding knight swords, knight axes, and knight pickaxes, his face turning a little green.
'You bastard, you can't follow the story's introduction!'
A Boss summoning another Boss is absolute garbage. Any game designer who dared to do that would be cursed to hell.
Fortunately, the Phantom Knight's health was not high, only 875 points. This was mainly because Phantom Knights came in groups of six, so together they counted as one Boss.
He turned to look at the Blue Knight.
"How about you take this?"
The Blue Knight, holding his longsword, nodded slightly.
"I'll do it. A Lich, a Lich with a knight order, is a good challenge for me."
The Blue Knight took a step forward, entering the range of the Boss battle, then saluted the Lich with a knight's bow.
To Yang Tao's astonishment, the Phantom Knights, who were only left with their husks and lingering souls, actually returned a gesture Yang Tao had never seen before.
"A reviving false god... How rare. I once saw some so-called false gods like this. I was paralyzed by the false god's power... and thus became blind and arrogant."
Upon hearing the Lich's words, Yang Tao's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, "Wait, don't just say half of it. How is this any different from a bad author who gets stuck on a chapter? What's a false god?"
The Lich glanced at Yang Tao and explained, "A false god is also a god; they just possess different powers. The reason they are called false gods is because, in the presence of that unknown existence, all gods can only be called false gods."
The Blue Knight, holding his longsword, showed no reaction to the Lich's words, but Yang Tao's mind raced, thinking of many things.
The Lich saw Yang Tao was silent and chuckled, saying, "The current me is not your opponent, but you can let me witness your power."
"Alright."
As his voice fell, the Phantom Knights immediately charged. They had no concept of one-on-one combat; at this moment, they were merely the Lich's guards, killing any existence that threatened the Lich in its cradle.
The Blue Knight adopted a defensive stance.
Bang...
Their weapons clashed together.
The Blue Knight easily split the Phantom Knight's body and weapon in two with his strength.
Both sides' movements were very unadorned. The Lich did not interfere in their battle but watched with keen interest.
Yang Tao carefully observed the Blue Knight's movements. The Blue Knight's attacks were very simple and unadorned. Aside from the first strike, which was to test the Phantom Knight's strength, the rest were executed with superb skill.
The other party was teaching.
The teaching target was, naturally, him.
"What a fine knight..."
The Lich made his assessment, then lightly waved the scepter in his hand.
A force landed on the Blue Knight, and a dark red light instantly slowed the Blue Knight down.
But it was only for an instant.
A flash of electricity on the Blue Knight's body, and the slowing effect disappeared. Then, with a forceful push of his feet, his figure vanished from his original spot, turning into an afterimage.
The Lich seemed to know the Blue Knight's movements, as several golden translucent shields appeared around his body.
Bang... Bang...
The sound of shields shattering rang out.
"My loyal knights, rise again."
The Phantom Knights, who had been largely cut down by the Blue Knight, reappeared in the Lich Tower, and a deluge of knight pickaxes flew towards the Blue Knight.
Yang Tao watched from the side, dumbfounded.
'Damn it, how do you even play this??'
Without special means, it was virtually impossible for him to pass this floor guarded by the Lich with his current strength.
Of course, if he exploited special abilities, it shouldn't be a big problem.
For example, if he transformed or poured two buckets of magma...
However, the Blue Knight's strength could not be so simple. With a roar, the entire Lich Tower space was engulfed in white lightning.
After the lightning dissipated, only the Blue Knight and the Lich remained in the entire space.
The Lich, who originally had 2500 health points, now had less than five hundred left. It was unclear whether the Lich had endured it or if the Blue Knight had shown mercy.
"Excellent power!"
A crimson ray connected from the Lich to the Blue Knight.
+50
+50
...
'Damn it, did he hit a major artery? He's even draining blood with armor on?'
The digitized lifesteal ability was truly terrifying.
The Blue Knight did not sit idly by. He quickly approached the Lich with his longsword, then raised it and brought it down swiftly. The Lich's figure became ethereal, and several identical figures appeared within the Lich Tower.
"Next, please be careful."
Countless ender pearls flew towards the Blue Knight.
The Blue Knight held his sword with both hands and forcefully thrust it into the ground... Er, the longsword couldn't penetrate the 'indestructible' ground.
However, this did not prevent the Blue Knight from unleashing his power.
The power of lightning appeared again.
The blue armor transformed into blue and white, and instantly the Blue Knight located the Lich's true body.
Pfft...
The longsword, seemingly composed of lightning, pierced through the Lich's body.
Instantly, the Lich's health bar was emptied.
