Three hours later.
Lin Tian led Kanao back to the bottom of the Lich Tower, just as Shinobu and the other two were walking out.
Seeing the somewhat damaged armor on the two and their slightly disheveled appearance, the others first exchanged glances, then asked with confusion, "Was the Lich King very strong?"
Hearing Shinobu's question, Lin Tian, feeling a bit tilted, said, "That Lich King is a real freaking psycho!"
Then, the two of them, one after the other, recounted what had happened.
......
Three hours earlier.
The moment Lin Tian confronted the Lich King, he raised his shield in defense, and Kanao also threw a potion of healing, successfully removing one of the shields surrounding the Lich King.
Lin Tian, meanwhile, was drawing the attention of the three Lich Kings, and from time to to time, he would bat back the ender pearls it shot, but he never once managed to hit the main body.
It was thanks to Kanao's help that they successfully removed all of its shields.
After its shields were destroyed, the scepter in the Lich King's hand flashed, and the originally golden-glowing scepter transformed into one exuding a netherworldly aura.
It raised the scepter and waved it. The area was instantly filled with nine zombies. The moment the zombies appeared, they pounced towards Lin Tian, their speed more akin to that of a zombie from a horror movie.
"Is my luck really this bad!"
Lin Tian complained, quickly raising his shield and retreating towards the stairs.
After he had successfully retreated to the staircase, Lin Tian's gaze sharpened. He saw the scepter in the Lich King's hand once again transform back into the golden one from before. With a grand wave of its hand, three shields once again floated around its body.
"..."
"Is he hacking?"
'Can you even play like that?' Lin Tian looked at the Lich King with utter shock. 'Why can you restore your shields?'
Helpless, the two had no choice but to kill all the zombies first, then repeat the process all over again.
When the Lich King summoned zombies again, Lin Tian didn't hide on the stairs but held his shield against the zombies' attacks. At the same time, he took out a splash potion of healing and threw it at his feet, damaging all the surrounding zombies.
However, Lin Tian had only brought 5 bottles, and three were quickly used up.
While retreating, Lin Tian took out his Netherite sword and began to counterattack.
Soon, he had eliminated all the zombies. The Lich King once again raised the zombie scepter in its hand, and with a wave, another four zombies appeared.
"You *********" Lin Tian was completely tilted and started cursing out loud.
"System, did you freaking raise the difficulty?" Lin Tian frantically tried to communicate with the system in his mind, but there was no response.
Helpless, Lin Tian looked at Kanao. She didn't have many potions left either.
Kanao also understood his meaning and took out her Netherite sword enchanted with Smite to attack the Lich King.
Lin Tian also drew the aggro of the five zombies to allow Kanao to fight more effectively.
Kanao successfully reduced the Lich King's health by a third. Before she could continue her attack, the Lich King waved its scepter again, and another two zombies appeared, attacking her and successfully buying it some breathing room.
While the two were tied down, the Lich King once again took out its golden scepter, and with a wave, three shields once again floated around it. Immediately after, it took out a blood-red scepter and began to absorb the health of all living creatures.
"Son of a !!!!!"
Lin Tian roared at the sky, tilted once more.
.......
After Lin Tian finished explaining the cause of the matter, the corners of the three girls' mouths twitched. They looked at the two with a mixture of pity and heartache.
In that case, it was already a good thing their armor hadn't completely broken.
Just then, Lin Tian's expression changed, and he suddenly said with some happiness, "Although the Lich King's mechanics were changed a bit, the things it drops are also a little different!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a pile of things appeared on the ground in front of them: ender pearls, bones, the Lich King's head, two enchanted gold swords, an enchanted gold chestplate, an enchanted gold pair of boots...
The most conspicuous items were a blood-red scepter and a pile of light orbs.
"Hmm? I know this scepter, but what are these light orbs?"
Looking at the scepter and the light orbs, Shinobu asked with confusion.
She knew about the four scepters, but she had never heard that the Lich King would drop light orbs.
Seeing her confused gaze, Lin Tian also explained, "These are materials for 'More Crafting.' When the Lich King dies, it will additionally drop these Lich Essences. These essences can be used to craft the four types of scepters."
"What? Craft scepters! Weren't these scepters uncraftable?" Hearing that these orbs could be used to craft scepters, Shinobu was also dumbfounded. 'Didn't he say these couldn't be crafted?'
"That's right. It's because of the 'More Crafting' mod, so you can now use materials to craft items that were originally uncraftable."
'Synergy between mods?'
Thinking that it could work like this, Shinobu also understood the power of this 'More Crafting' mod.
This could be of great use in the future!
"Alright, let's go back for now. A three-hour battle is really exhausting. You all got a good haul too, right?" Lin Tian just wanted to go back and rest now. Fighting for three hours straight, although his body wasn't tired, and his mind wasn't tired, his heart was tired!
"Mmm! We also got a lot of good stuff," Mitsuri Kanroji said happily, holding two Shulker Boxes.
Hearing this, the four girls once again gathered around Lin Tian.
A flash of light passed, and only a faint pillar of light reaching to the sky was left in their place.
.....
Returning to the Overworld, it was now dark.
Lin Tian led the girls and teleported directly back to the house. He didn't feel like walking the rest of the way.
And in the house, Nezuko and the three little ones were sitting on the sofa. On the television screen in front of them, the Demon Slayer anime was playing. It was currently at the decisive battle between the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, and the Upper Three, Akaza.
The four girls were watching with rapt attention, not noticing at all that the others had returned. They were still shouting to cheer on Rengoku.
Lin Tian and the others didn't disturb them and just stood quietly behind them, watching the screen.
Shinobu and the others watched with particular intensity. After all, this was the future that would have originally happened in their world.
A long time later, it was only after the Infinite Train arc was over that they came back to their senses.
The four little ones on the sofa and Aoi Kanzaki were already in tears.
Shinobu and Mitsuri were also a little silent. After all, he was a comrade who had fought alongside them. Watching him die also left them a little quiet.
Although Kanao didn't say anything, she also knew that he was her sister's comrade. She just stood comfortingly by Shinobu's side, gently soothing her.
But Lin Tian's attention wasn't here. He had already immersed himself in the chat group.
'Oh? Looks like a new member arrived in the group while we were fighting the Lich King!'
