Chapter 828 Confrontation with the Lich

With enemies covering both the stairwell and balcony, Marcus and Mrazivý were left with no path to escape.

To one side was the zombie empress and skeleton champion, and on the other was the lich and an ethereal looking entity that was vaguely humanoid in shape but wrapped in shadows and having two piercing golden glowing eyes.

The tension in the air was palpable as both sides stared each other down.

"To think that intruders could make it this far without my noticing." The Lich said, his tone conveying how genuinely surprised he was. 

He then turned to the shadowy figure next to him and said, "Alyna, take over the girl while I restrain the man."

An instant later the being cloaked in shadows floating beside the lich disappeared, having turned fully ethereal.

It was immediately clear from the lich's words that he intended for his subordinate to possess Mrazivý, but Marcus was not going to let that happen.
