The Foolish Lich (3)

"..."

The defeat of the Foolish Lich stunned everyone and made them silent. Firstly, they couldn't see what Amon did, given that he moved faster than their eyes could react. Even Horus, who was meant to be the strongest of the bunch, was hard-pressed to trace Amon's movements. 

Secondly, the Foolish Lich had erected multiple layers of protection that would have blocked a sudden attack. Yet, Amon pierced through those defences like a hot knife through butter and ended the undead creature before it could move.

They stood dumbfounded, like frozen statues, while Amon stepped away from the unmoving body of the Foolish Lich and stared into the eerie cavern. His golden eyes were glistening with energy as his mind zoned into sensing the Apostles who were hidden within. 

'The Twin Brutes… Why are they not coming?'
