In the original story, when the protagonist and his party entered this Dungeon, the boss should only be at Rank (VI) or lower.
But for some reason, Cade now could see the dancing aura around the lich, and just based on the bad feeling that it radiated, Cade could see that the weakest the lich was at Rank (VII)
' You.. you are not coming out just to infuriate him, right?'
' Haha… what do you mean by that? But isn't it better? The stronger he is, the better the reward that you would get.'
Cade was frozen by Grigory's response.
There was some truth in his words still…
' I will talk to you later about this. And you better told me about that chosen one thingy.'
The Lich slowly raised his Schyte.
His blade vibrated, letting out a stiff voice.
'Come. I will show you why you should not make me angry!'
Elizabeth stepped up. Cade also took out his Arcane Card.
He knew that he might only be a burden in this fight. Yet, he would try his best to support Elizabeth.
"I have a way of defeating him. For now, please hold him back. I'll support you from the back."
"…I trust you."
Now, it was Elizabeth's turn. As she put more power into her Arcane Card. The Aura of a Rank (VII) Arcane Card Wielder rose up clearly from her Phoenix.
The Lich made the first move, rashly rushing in and striking down with his scythe. Elizabeth's phoenix used its wing and blocked him.
KWANG!
When the scythe hit the wing, it didn't feel like it was hitting a wing. Rather, the Lich felt like he was hitting metal.
The two clashed. The Lich pulled his scythe back and repeatedly struck down. It was as if he wanted to break the phoenix's wing.
However, not even a single scratch appeared on Elizabeth's phoenix.
The phoenix, just like how it was in the myth, had a very strong healing ability, and it continuously healed itself throughout the battle.
Cade and the Spectre Dullahan could only watch from the side. The best he could do was just to throw around some stones or attack from range to distract the Lich.
A battle between these strong existences was not a thing that he could easily interfere.
But sometimes, there was a time when preparation would determine the end of a battle.
Watching them fight, Cade slowly took his pocket.
He knew the boss in this Dungeon was a lich, so he came pretty much prepared.
'I couldn't use a heavy bomb as it might injure Miss Elizabeth's Phoenix. But…'
A Holy Light bomb that contained the attack of a strong Holy Type Arcane Card was revealed on Cade's hand.
' This might do it.'
Clang. Kwang. Koong. Kwaaaang!
Under the thunderous noise of the two strong existences clashing, Cade waited patiently.
Then, at the instant where the Lich was overwhelmed by the Pheonix's continuous attack, Cade threw it.
Shuuuuu—
A small ball of a blue container. Yet, for some reason, the Lich could feel a tremendous amount of danger from it.
His instinct told him to run, but the Phoenix would never let him be.
' Bastard, let me-'
For a fraction of a second, he stopped moving.
The Holy light bomb came right in front of him and detonated at point-blank range, leaving the Lich no escape.
Still, it was a bit too pretentious to hope the Lich would be defeated just like this.
Miss Elizabeth knew it was finally her chance as she unleashed her full aura. The Phoenix flame rose up like a tornado, and it slowly encircles the Lich.
Next, The Phoenix unleashed its finishing technique.
A powerful fire bomb that descended like a meteor, One heavy attack that would obliterate everything on its path.
The Lich held up his scythe, trying to block. However, the injury from the holy light bomb was not small. The moment the fire bomb clashed with the scythe, a crack appeared on the lich's scythe. Because of injury, its movement dulled a lot, and it no longer had the power to resist.
Miss Elizabeth quickly followed Cade's advice to continue attacking..
It was the right method of defeating it.
No matter what, they must not give the Lich time to recuperate.
The Lich eventually didn't last long. Its scythe crumbled, and the Firebomb could not be blocked.
"BOOMMM!!!!"
Under the strength of the Great Fire Bomb, the Lich could no longer maintain its posture.
Just like that, the Lich's final stand shattered, and its body turned into dust and scattered into the air.
And in the place of the defeated Lich…
All that was left was a treasure Chest.
"Is it done?"
Dumbstruck, Miss Elizabeth stared at the treasure chest.
Previously, the highest-rated treasure chest after completing a dungeon was a gold Treasure Chest.
But this time, a Platinum treasure chest was displayed, and it was no wonder that Miss Elizabeth was confused.
"W-What's this?"
She looked around the room just in case she was missing something. However, there was only a scene of Cade walking directly at the treasure chest.
" Hey.. what are you?"
There was nothing else displayed in the room. In other words, the thing that Cade said she needed should be inside the treasure chest.
And seeing Cade handle the treasure chest so carefreely, it was impossible if Elizabeth was not concerned.
"Is this it…?"
Inside the Platinum treasure chest was none other than a small golden bead.
To be honest, it was in line with his original expectation. But considering that they had just battled against a Rank (VII) Monster, wasn't this a bit lackluster?
Disappointed, Cade just took the small bead into his hand. He looked toward Elizabeth and brought it to her.
"Hey, this bead is…."
For some reason, Elizabeth could feel a huge ominous aura from the bead, and it brought her a bad feeling. But Cade just smirked.
" You know? The legend of Phoenix? To be fully reborn, your Phoenix needs to die first."
