Adrian is now resurrected in the Paradox Plains with reduced stats. If he dies another time within a twenty four hour timeframe then Adrian would be booted out of the game. If he gets booted out of the game then he will not be able to play for three hours in-game time.
"That Arch Lich has such a tight grip and even deadly that you lose 1% of your health per second." Adrian stated as he decided on what to do next.
He decided to see if anyone streamed what happened on the Seaswirl Port. Fortunately, there is one streamer that managed to capture everything that happened after the Arch Lich arrived. He did see himself being easily handled by the Arch Lich which does affect someone's self-esteem.
"Fast forward!" Adrian muttered as he did not want to see his own demise.
Adrian started the video again after he is killed by the Arch Lich. After the Arch Lich Malus killed him, it casted a spell that released poisoned clouds that made all living entities cough and turn purple. Some players managed to ingest an antidote and ran away instead of fighting.
The Arch Lich is identified to be level 280 with an unknown health and mana bar. Those running away were hunted by the death knights and made to join the undead legion. Some players who were hiding from view also emerged but did not confront the Arch Lich.
"We pledge allegiance to the great Arch Lich Malus." The players stated as they prostrated themselves towards the Arch Lich.
The Arch Lich did not immediately speak or do what the players asked which made the players nervous. The players who prostrated themselves do not look like ordinary players because their names are in red. Players with their names showing in red are players who did PKs by numerous amounts that they are deemed as criminals.
There is even a reward for other players if they kill PKs that is sort of a bounty. The players also looked like they will do something dark because they have job classes that is considered taboo. One is actually a witch doctor, a dark knight, and a warlock.
"So you pledge your allegiance to me. What makes you think that I will add you into my immortal ranks?" The Arch Lich Malus stated which made the three people look at each other before speaking.
"We have found an offering that your benevolence would surely like." The warlock stated as he pulled something out of her inventory.
The item that the warlock pulled out of her inventory is actually a finger with a golden ring with runes carved on it. When the Arch Lich saw that item, it immediately ordered all the death knights to slaughter every living thing present. The scene where the warlock presented the finger is the last thing that the streamer has seen.
"By killing all the witnesses made the importance of that finger to be very big. What is that finger that made the Arch Lich kill all the living there?" Adrian asked himself as a new variable is introduced to the table.
Adrian thought that with the strength of the Undead King then it would be just a matter of time to kill the Arch Lich but now things might turn different and not in a good way. He needed to know what that finger is or where it came from. Any information now would be helpful to Adrian.
"Should I offer money to whoever finds information about that finger or should I let the top guilds do it for me?" Adrian stated as he opened his friend interface to talk to someone.
Equinox: Big sis Cersei, are you busy right now?
Adrian waited for Cersei to reply. It seemed that the person is actually a bit busy. Cersei managed to reply after about fifteen minutes but Adrian did not mind.
Cersei: Sorry that I replied too late. What do you need?
Equinox: I am wondering if you could find an item information for me. Of course, it would not be for free as I will give you a talisman or talismans as payment.
Cersei: I could do it for free because we are friends and all. What is the item you wanted to know about anyway?
Equinox: It is this item. (Adrian sent a screenshot of the finger with a ring.)
Cersei: I see. You are also finding about this item. Do not worry. I will inform you once someone in our guild finds some information about it.
Equinox: Thanks a lot.
Cersei: Can I ask you a question?
Equinox: Sure as long as I can answer it.
Cersei: Nevermind. I forgot what I was going to ask you. Have a nice day.
Adrian wanted to ask Cersei once again but the latter said that she would ask the former if she remembers the question. Adrian thought that this sometimes occur as even his sister forgets somethings easily if it was not that important.
Cersei actually wanted to ask Adrian if he was the one that is strangled by the Arch Lich. She did not immediately recognize Adrian because of his dirty and bloody appearance. The Arch Lich is also eye catching so she would find her attention drawn towards the former rather than the one being strangled.
Cersei did not ask anymore because she thought Adrian is concealing his race for a reason. She did have a clue as the Arch Lich stated that he is strangling a demon. She also searched for clues about Adrian's race as she herself know that devils are different from demons.
Adrian no longer thought of Cersei's strange behavior as he is just happy that he would know what that finger with the ring is. He needed to focus on the immediate threat that is coming towards the forge of the demigod frost giant.
[Time Remaining: 24: 01:03]
Adrian only has one day remaining before the undead reaches the forge. He is now desperate to deter the undead away but his fear is that the Arch Lich joined the voyage.
