Seeing the Naga dead, everyone cheered happily.
After all, this was the first boss the group had truly fought in a meaningful way. They hadn't seen the Ender Dragon, the Wither was handled entirely by the iron golems, and as for the Warden? Besides Shinobu, none of the others had even heard of it.
Lin Tian paid no mind to the group's excitement and collected the Naga Scales and the Trophy Head.
When the others saw Lin Tian actually pick up that creepy head, they all looked at him as if he were a monster.
"Tian, you're not planning to..."
Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Lin Tian with a complex expression. No matter how much she liked him, she couldn't accept having something like that hanging in the house!
Seeing the complicated looks on the girls' faces, Lin Tian also understood what they were thinking. "Don't misunderstand. Although I picked up this... decoration, I won't be hanging it on the wall at home. It's just to serve as proof that we killed the Naga."
"I'll put it in the warehouse later, so everyone can rest assured."
Hearing his explanation, the girls breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lin Tian would have a sudden whim and want to hang this head on the wall at home as a trophy.
But since he had no such intention, it didn't matter.
.......
After finishing off the Naga, Lin Tian didn't hesitate and continued to lead the girls north on the map.
On the map, just above the Naga Courtyard, was the territory of the Lich King!
'Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it just perfect? They can be a pair of doomed brothers.'
Lich King: 'Why are you so selfish! You already killed the Naga, why do you have to kill me too!'
Lin Tian: 'Your fate is decided by me, not by the heavens.'
In short, Lin Tian was already leading the girls towards the Lich Tower.
It didn't take much time for the group to see a towering castle. The entire castle looked incredibly grand and magnificent, but it exuded an indescribable sense of age, as if a once-glorious building had also become decayed by the ravages of time.
"What a majestic castle!" Looking at the Lich Tower, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but marvel.
"Everyone be careful. The inside of the castle has a large number of monsters and spawners, as well as flying books. Those are all hostile creatures."
"Also, on the top floor, there is a being called the Lich King. Everyone must be extra careful! He is not on the same level as the Naga!"
Speaking of the Lich King, Lin Tian also became serious.
"The Lich King is divided into three phases. Phase one: The Lich King is surrounded by three shields. He teleports every time we attack, and at the same time, he summons two invincible clones and fires explosive fireballs and ender pearl-like projectiles. When the Lich King fires an ender pearl projectile, you can hit it back with a sword. As long as the projectile hits the Lich King, you can break one of the shields."
"Additionally, you can directly use Splash Potions of Instant Health to destroy the shields."
"Phase two: When all these shields are broken, the Lich King will enter the second phase. In this phase, the Lich King will continuously summon zombies around him while firing magic projectiles or fireballs. He can summon up to nine at a time. When his health drops to half, he will use a scepter of vampirism to absorb the health of nearby creatures."
Before the girls could say anything, Lin Tian continued, "But the zombies can't go down stairs. We can use this to our advantage and stand on the stairs to attack the Lich King's main body and his zombie servants."
"As for the final third phase, it's the easiest. In this phase, the Lich King will enter a berserk state and will fight us in close combat with a golden sword. We just need to use a sword enchanted with Knockback to kill him easily."
After Lin Tian had finished explaining, the girls finally had a chance to speak.
"This Lich King sounds a bit insane, doesn't he? How does he have so many abilities?" After hearing Lin Tian's words, Aoi Kanzaki couldn't help but complain.
"He does have a lot of abilities, but if you analyze it carefully, he's not actually that hard to fight," Shinobu said after carefully analyzing his words. She now had a rough understanding of the Lich King's mechanics.
"The key point is the use of the stairs!" Mitsuri was very smart and grasped the main point at once.
"That's right. As long as we use the stairs properly, we basically won't get hurt in the first two phases. The only possibility is having some of our health drained," Lin Tian nodded in agreement with Mitsuri's words.
"If that's the case, then we need to decide who will fight the Lich King, since the space on the stairs is limited," Shinobu said, looking at Lin Tian.
"I've already decided. I'll take Kanao this time," Lin Tian had already decided on the person for this task.
"Huh? Me?" Kanao pointed at herself. It was clear she hadn't expected him to choose her.
"That's right. There are still many treasure chests in this tower. I'll need your help to collect them. With you three around, I can rest easy about Aoi's safety."
The girls nodded. It didn't matter who went; it was just to provide occasional support.
The reason Lin Tian chose Kanao was actually very simple: only her sword was enchanted with Smite V, which was the best sword for fighting the Lich King.
After arranging everyone's roles, Lin Tian led Kanao towards the top floor.
Shinobu and Mitsuri, on the other hand, led Aoi to explore the other auxiliary towers.
Fighting their way through, Lin Tian and Kanao successfully arrived at the top floor.
Looking up from the side of the stairs, they saw an unusually tall skeleton, wearing a purple cloak, holding a scepter, and with a golden crown on its head.
The Lich King actually looked similar to a normal skeleton, just a bit taller and with more clothes and equipment, but it exuded an aura of majesty!
While Lin Tian was peeking at the Lich King, the Lich King also discovered him. It raised its hand and released a projectile exuding fiery heat, and at the same time, two identical Lich Kings appeared on either side.
"Screw you! A zero-frame startup, huh! No time to react!" Seeing the fireball already in front of him, Lin Tian cursed loudly, then was hit by the attack, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
The Lich King's attack really couldn't be compared to the Naga's. Even wearing a full set of enchanted Netherite armor wasn't enough.
Kanao steadied him from behind. Lin Tian took the opportunity to take out an Enchanted Golden Apple and swallow it in one gulp. He raised his shield and charged straight up, shouting, "Kanao! Hit it with the healing potions!"
Kanao hadn't expected him to charge straight up, but thinking about his plan, she could only follow his instructions, aiming the healing potions at the Lich King and throwing them directly.
"Come on! Your head is mine!"
