Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 146 Lich Wiz
"What happened?"

When Darkness and Broly heard the noise and rushed over, they saw a plump woman, panting and slumped in front of Aqua, who looked like a villain who had done something strange and excessive to others.

"Humph, I didn't expect that you wouldn't dissipate after this attack of mine. It seems that you are quite capable. But you won't be so lucky in the next attack, because I will use a more powerful purification technique to ensure that you are completely purified from this world!"

Aqua said as she rubbed a new purification spell. Wiz on the ground raised her hand with difficulty: "Please, let me say a few words."

“No need to waste time, the culprit who caused the haunted cemetery in Axel City, let me, Aqua, purify you in the name of justice…”

Aqua hadn't finished her words yet because Broly blocked her way and she had to stop.

"Broly, that guy is a lich, an evil undead, get out of the way."

She said to her disciples.

Broly scratched his head, pointed at Wiz who was slumped behind him, and said, "Master Aqua, this is the wife I'm looking for."

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? They are undead. Even though they look pretty, they are dead!"

"But she is indeed the wife I am looking for."

Broly was also a little helpless, because his wife was recognized by the Crystal Palace, not someone he just picked randomly.

"Even if you are my disciple, if you want to protect the undead..."

Aqua put away the purification technique and showed through her actions that she was still willing to forgive others.

Who made her a soft-hearted master?
"Hey, you guy on the ground, for the sake of my lovely disciple, I, Lady Aqua, will allow you to make a few excuses for yourself, but if your words do not satisfy me, I will still purify you if I have to, understand?"

Aqua looked ferocious.

"Understand!"

Wiz nodded quickly in response. She was somewhat relieved. She had thought she was really doomed just now.

"My name is Wiz, and I'm a lich, but I've never hurt anyone..."

This lich lady who claimed to have retained her humanity introduced herself.

"Do you think I can believe that a guy who can transform into a lich can still maintain his humanity?"

Lich transformation is not something that can be found everywhere. It is considered a forbidden spell in this world.

"This is true. Besides, I did not transform into a lich voluntarily."

Wiz was a little anxious.

"Then tell me why you transformed into a lich."

Aqua pretended to be all ears.

"I did that for my companions..."

Wiz was once the captain of a team of adventurers. During a dungeon adventure, he encountered the Duke of Hell, Barnil.

Later, they fought against the Headless Knight Beldia, a cadre of the Demon King's army, but the entire team was cursed with a death curse that was difficult to remove.

In order to lift the death curse, someone must defeat Beldia the Headless Horseman. It was at that time that Wiz made a deal with Vanir and obtained the forbidden spell to transform into a lich, and got rid of the death curse by transforming himself into a lich.

Afterwards, for the sake of his companions, he broke into the Demon King's Castle alone. Despite being blocked by a group of Demon King's army cadres, he found Beldia, who had fought with their team before and was recuperating in the Demon King's Castle. He severely injured him again and threatened him with his life to lift the death curse.

“This is my story.”

"I have to say, your storytelling is very exciting, but there are a lot of loopholes in your story. For example, when you were a human, you couldn't defeat a cadre of the Demon King's army, but after becoming a lich, you were able to single-handedly clear the entire Demon King's city. Do you think I would believe such a thing?"

Aqua obviously didn't believe it. After all, this was something that even a goddess like her couldn't do.

"It's indeed hard to believe, but it's true. The reason is probably that when I was a human, I had many human weaknesses, such as some death curses that were effective against me. But after I became a lich, not only did my magic power increase a lot compared to when I was a human, but even my resistance to some negative curse magic was greatly improved."

Wiz's words suddenly made Broly think of the message "Humans have limits".

"So when you turned into a lich, did you put on a stone mask, stabbed others with a dagger in your hand, and shouted that you were not a human being?" Broly asked curiously.

"Ah, what is that?"

Wiz looked confused.

"That's probably it..."

Broly danced with his hands and feet, recreating the famous scene of JOJO that suddenly popped up in his mind with actual actions, leaving the people around him confused.

"I didn't shout about being beyond human. I just stood on the magic circle I drew and used magic to transform my own flesh and blood. The process was so painful that I couldn't speak."

"Ah, is that so?"

Broly was somewhat disappointed by Wiz's denial, and the information that emerged in his mind quickly disappeared.

"What happened next? Did you save your companions?"

Darkness urged, she seemed to be immersed in the story.

"Well, I saved them. My companions are now married and have children. They come back to see me from time to time with their children."

Wiz nodded. Although she did not become a lich voluntarily, she did not regret becoming a lich for her companions.

"Wait, after you saved your companions, didn't you also take care of the Demon King's army?"

Aqua asked with a frown.

“I don’t have the ability to defeat the Demon King’s army. I tried my best to save my companions.

Moreover, I was able to easily break into the Demon King's Castle only because Mr. Vanir, who is also one of the cadres of the Demon King's Army, did not try to stop me.

And the ones I actually dealt with at that time were just three of the weaker officers in the Demon King’s Army of the Demon King’s Castle.”

"Really? If you had defeated the Demon King and his army, I wouldn't have had to come here!"

Aqua complained.

Wiz: "..."

Judging from the fact that the opponent's purification technique has a great effect on himself, and considering the huge aura of divine power that suddenly appeared above Axel before, this person couldn't be the real incarnation of God. After all, he called himself Aqua.

Although the Axis Cult is hated by everyone in this world, the water goddess they believe in is actually quite famous.

“Let’s get back to the point. How come you, a lich who almost cleared the Demon King’s Castle alone, are in Axel Cemetery?

What was going on with that magic circle just now? Are you secretly forming an undead army here, planning to lead the undead army back to the Demon King's City in the future to get back your former position?"

"what?"

"What are you asking? I'm asking you a question!"

Aqua said dissatisfiedly.

"No, I am not forming an army of undead. That was not a magic circle to summon the undead, but a soul-soothing circle."

After the explanation, Aqua and the others learned that after Wiz turned into a lich and lifted the death curse on his teammates, he chose to return to the human camp and live in seclusion in Axel.

"I own the magic tool shop in the innermost alley two streets away from the cemetery. I was once taken care of by the cemetery's caretaker priest. After he passed away, I took over the matters of restoring his soul in the cemetery."

The magic factor in this world is very active, and the undead can easily appear in places where many dead are buried. Therefore, there must be some professionals who can perform purification techniques and often go to such places to appease the souls of the dead.

But Axel is a novice city, and there are not many adventurers, let alone professionals who can perform purification techniques. Even if there are some, few are willing to do the job of guarding the cemetery.

In other words, if it weren't for Wiz's constant comfort of the souls in the cemetery, the Adventurer's Guild in Axel would probably have been putting up a commission to conquer the undead in the cemetery all year round.
