The start of something bigger (2)

"The hell… how can a hand like that so easily block my attacks?" Jake thought while frowning.

            Jake didn't have time to think about that. One of his most powerful and useful skills barely slowed down that lich, so he truly was in a bind. Despite his rage, the lich wouldn't act foolishly like the other liches. Probably because he could control them. Jake wanted to learn how he managed to control others like that and how he got in his hands that much technology, but it would be hard to say if he would be able to have that much leeway while fighting. Probably he wouldn't...

            Even with the effects of his freezing longsword, Jake could feel his health decreasing quite fast, so running away was a waste of time, and he had to do something about it. He learned a long time ago that the best plans were the ones that surprise the enemies in the craziest way possible. So, he took his shield from the magic box and stopped running.
