Ambush (End)

"Attack!"

Frederick couldn't wait any longer. He raised his sword and charged forward. Serena and Bayer jumped out from their concealment with the remaining three soldiers and formed a row to stop the Lich from escaping.

The Lich was taken aback, but it swiftly pointed its finger forward and emitted a black ray of light at Frederick.

"Waa!"

Frederick shrieked in horror, but he swiftly rolled aside safely, struck his blade into the snow, and slashed upward.

"———!"

The fluttering snow blocked the Lich's line of sight. Even though Frederick appeared as a careless person, he was actually experienced in battles. But, this was to be expected since he had led his men in the Northern mountain battles. However, he was too inexperienced in dealing with a Lich.
