'What should I do now?' Abium got more restless inside. Although Miracle Star's misfortune curse spell could increase the chance of him defeating Demi-Lich, he didn't have any artifact that could destroy Demi-Lich's body.
He slowly looked at the Myth Needle, which was now moving in his direction, and felt frustrated.
But suddenly, a bold idea popped up in his head.
'But for that idea to work against that Demi Lich, I need to be at least close enough to touch him.' Abium could feel that there were only four and a half seconds left for this Quick-Thinking Divine spell to end.
Without wasting time, he took out a spell scroll and a high-tier magic crystal from his spatial ring and tore the scroll while throwing the magic crystal into the newly appeared magic circle.
It was a second-tier spell, Freezing Cry!
Although he only had four second-tier spell scrolls, he knew it was more than enough to tackle the current situation.
The sanctum sanctorum suddenly started to freeze as soon as he tore the spell scroll. The temperature began to drop by dozens of degrees, followed by crystalline ice appearing everywhere.
Even the Myth Needle was covered by this strange crystalline ice and stopped its moment.
But soon, the crystalline ice evaporated into nothing due to the artifact's nullifying ability. Still, crystalline ice started to form again, continuously restricting Myth Needle's movement.
A smirk appeared on Abium's face.
'Yes! This second tier 'Freezing Cry spell' is slowing down the Myth Needle's movement speed!'
Three more seconds!
As he counted down the time, Abium cast another blink spell and appeared in another corner of the room. At the same time, he took out another spell scroll and a high-tier magic stone from his spatial ring and tore the scroll. Following that, he tossed the magic stone into the newly appeared magic circle and aimed the spell attack at the Demi-Lich's forehead.
A bluish crystalline sharp ice knife appeared out of the magic circle the next moment and shot towards the blue-robed Demi-Lich at an incredible speed!
Another second-tier attack spell, Ice Knife!
At that moment, Demi Lich also noticed the danger and tried to intercept that ice knife using the Myth Needle. But due to the continuous movement restriction from the Freezing Cry spell, it couldn't reach in time to nullify the Ice Knife spell.
One and a half seconds!
The ice knife tore through the air and instantly reached Demi Lich's forehead.
The next moment, that Ice Knife collided with Demi-Lich's forehead.
Bang!
A loud banging sound echoed inside the altar room, and that collision threw Demi Lich's body backward.
Due to the sudden collision, Demi Lich's head became dizzy for a split second. As it was about to recover, another mental attack came from Abium and caused Demi-Lich's thinking ability to disrupt.
That was Abium's first-tier spell, Mind freeze!
Although it wouldn't be effective against a Demi-Lich in normal circumstances, Abium thought that spell would distract the Demi-Lich for a split moment. If Demi-Lich were in his prime state, Abium would have died countless times. But against this sealed Demi lich, his first-tier mind spell had worked perfectly.
Here, Miracle star's misfortune ability took effect!
Only half-second more!
Abium again tapped his spatial ring while casting a blink spell and appeared directly behind Demi-Lich.
Simultaneously, the short sword in his hand began to glow in deep red and gave off a dangerous red glow.
No, its color soon turned pale greenish color and caused the whole sword to tremble.
Abium's lips curled upward.
'Finally, I can use the inferior version of the Master Sword Aura.'
If he wanted to use the true master sword aura, he needed a legendary-tier sword. Otherwise, the sword would destroy due to less durability.
Without delay, he slashed his sword, aiming precisely at Demi-Lich's neck.
A moment later, his sword tore through the air at an incredible speed and directly decapitated Demi-Lich! Due to his action, the Demi-Lich lost control of its body and roared.
Meanwhile, a strange crimson flame came out of the black chain that pierced Demi-Lich's chest and started to spread all over. Also, that strange flame flew toward the skull and started burning it.
In a second, the blue-robed Demi-Lich started to burn fiercely and let out a shrill, angry roar.
The skeleton and the blue robe turned into dust after a second, leaving a single silver ring behind.
Meanwhile, Abium clutched his head in pain and grunted.
'Damn, that divine spell almost drained my mind!'
He used most of his spirit to maintain that Quick-Thinking divine spell, which caused great restraint on both his body and mind.
But still, he didn't dare to lower his guard down. He quickly scanned and noticed the Myth needle was still floating two feet away from his forehead!
No, it was vibrating fiercely and appeared to explode at any time.
'Back away!' Azolla warned him.
Alarmed, he cast the [Blink] spell again and reappeared a few meters away from the Myth Needle.
Bam!
A loud banging sound came out!
At that exact moment, the Myth Needle exploded into multiple pieces and scattered on the ground, leaving only fragments of bones behind.
'Kid, pick up the spatial ring and erase Demi-Lich's spiritual imprint quickly.' Azolla hurriedly spoke in his mind. He became startled for a moment and quickly picked up the spatial ring from the ashes of Demi-Lich.
After that, he carefully placed the spatial ring on his palm and probed it with his spiritual power.
But soon, he frowned as he noticed that the spiritual imprint remained on the spatial ring!
'Kid, wear it. I will help you remove the spiritual imprint.' Abium quickly wore the spatial ring as he heard Azolla's words and soon sent a large amount of spirit power into it.
Once the spiritual power entered the spatial ring, his spiritual power condensed into multiple minute lines under Azolla's guidance and started breaking Demi-Lich's spiritual imprint. Within a minute, Abium saw no foreign spiritual imprint in the ring and breathed relief.
'Azolla, why did the Myth Needle break?' Abium asked while gazing at the area where the Myth Needle was destroyed.
'Humph, don't expect any necromancer to leave behind their treasure to their enemy, kid. Well, even some mages will also do the same. Be glad that I could remove his spiritual imprint in this spatial ring. Otherwise, you wouldn't be even able to get your hand on it.' Azolla said solemnly.
Meanwhile, Abium let out a heavy sigh and nodded.
At that moment, his spiritual power was completely exhausted, so he didn't have any more energy to ask questions.
He soon lay on the carpeted floor and shut his eyes to rest. He didn't find any other dangers inside this altar room, so he fell into a deep sleep without any worry.
