Fortunately my idea worked, I guessed that it had faced off with the dragon before, so in principle, the dragon hide should be able to resist the acid attack without melting. Looking down at the floor, I realized that If my guess had been wrong I would have melted and disappeared without leaving any trace.
‘Now it’s time to counterattack.’
“Fireball! Fireball! Inferno! Inferno!”
“Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!”
I used up all my MP spamming spells in combination with the sulfuric gases surrounding the approaching King.
Previously, I had simply sent out small spells to ignite the gases but this time I let it all out, aiming for the gaps where the gas was seeping in from, causing an enormous explosion.
“Oh! Chompy is it you? Chompy! I’m here! Did you come over?”
I using the sound of my jaws biting down to call out Gwyn. She quickly rushed out, but I remind her with a hand gesture to keep her distance.
“Hey Chompy, is that a new look? It’s… I mean, it looks great! Ehehehe! Are you doing well?”
I nodded, it was always nice to hear her praise. I know her compliments comes naturally without any hidden agenda. I listened to her for a long time while she narrated her story about her life here by the stream. Her small and simple stories brought a sense of calm and peace to my heart which was filled with death and pain.
In the meantime, I noticed that Ian had woken up and was walking around so I bid Gwyn goodbye.
“Chompy! Will you pass by to visit me again? I’ll keep waiting for you!”
I nodded my head to her and walked off. Ian was up and looking around when she caught sight of me, staring from behind.
“Oh!”
The sudden encounter exposed my skeleton appearance. Shocked and somewhat frightened, she hid behind a tree, staring at me carefully from a distance.
“Are you the one that saved me?”
I nodded back.
“You’re not human.” she said somewhat hesitantly, unsure how to continue.
‘Not only am I not a human, I’m an enemy of humanity.’
“Enemy of humanity?”
[Familiar Ian the Witch has learned Spiritual Connection Lv1]
‘What? Spiritual Connection?’
It seems that as my familiar we had naturally formed a connection and she could read my thoughts.
“Was it you that saved me?”
‘That’s right.’
“Did you save us last time?”
‘Yes.’
“Why did you you save your enemy?”
She stepped out from behind the tree and approached.
I realised she was getting too close and quickly thought.
‘You can’t come near me, I’ll absorb your lifeforce.’
She stops walking and takes a good look at me.
“Are you a skeleton?”
‘Right, a Lich to be exact.’
Her facial expression turned sour for a second before composing herself.
“You need to absorb other’s life force to survive right?
I shooked my head. ‘Although it’s a passive skill it isn’t necessary to my survival.’
“Then why are Liches mortal enemies of humans?”
She asked me with a curious expression. I shrugged my shoulders, unsure. All I knew was that in RPG’s, Liches were always mortal enemies with humans, dark and blasphemous creatures.
“What should I call you?”
‘Well, my friend gave me a nickname but it’s a bit childish, Chompy’
“Maybe I could give you a different name.”
I had high expectations, hoping she’d give me a good name.

I gently nodded.
“Johra! How’s that? I just came up with it!”
I agreed happily, finally a normal sounding name.
