Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 338: Lich Vecna ​​(Rebellion)
The torrent of metal surrounded Emma, ​​and this magical scene made Emma unconsciously raise her hands to block it. As if sensing her fear, the metal fragments suddenly fell to the ground as if they had lost their power.

"I feel like they seem to be obeying my commands?" Emma said hesitantly, then she tried to raise the hilt of the sword again to command the metal fragments, but for some reason, they had fallen silent.

The cold wind blew out from the treasury, and Nemesis had already stepped into the treasury while Emma was stunned.

This is an inner room covered with ice.

Emma no longer bothered about the metal fragments and hurried in. The cold air in the underground treasure house froze Emma's sword blade. She exhaled a breath of cold air, shivering a little, and looked around with shining eyes.

"Wow, is this Vecna's treasure house? Do you think we can take this gold back?" Emma looked at the pixelated cylindrical or square gold around her and said longingly.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that all this was fake. Otherwise, how could Juan Ce Long, who loved money like his life, not take any action at this time?

Nemesis narrowed his eyes and searched for the lich's life box in the treasury. The easiest way to pass the level was to destroy the life box directly before the fake Vecna ​​found it.

"found it!"

The rune array in Nemesis’ pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip—on the stone platform three feet away, the walnut box covered with knife marks was oozing dark red blood.

"Sevenfold Soul Lock." His fingertips hovered half an inch above the wooden box, and the rectangular purple blood vessels lit up under his skin. "Emma, ​​prepare to cut it off."

As he spoke, he took out a black staff. Compared to the wooden staff they had at the beginning, their equipment at level 14 was much better. This legendary staff called "Dueler" allowed him to cast [Dispel Magic] at will and [Counter Spell] once a day.

Just as he was about to use dispel magic to test whether there were any magic traps around the wooden box, the lich appeared.

Vic's hoarse scream suddenly tore through the air, and the moment the skeleton robe exploded from the void, Emma's sword had already cut through twelve afterimages. But the phosphorescent fire from the bone fingertips was faster than her, and the obsidian on the top of the Nemesis Staff suddenly burst into a strong light - the shock wave formed by the collision of the two magic powers caused the candlesticks in the entire treasure house to explode at the same time.

"Bugs!" The lich hovered above the phylactery, revealing a golden spine beneath his rotten robes. "How dare you touch my immortal authority!"

Nemesis looked at the spellcaster in front of him expressionlessly. The magical power as deep as the ocean foreshadowed the terrifying strength of the powerful man in front of him.

A level 20 mage is only one step away from becoming a legend.

If it were in reality, Nemesis could beat ten of these guys alone.

But this is a game, and at this moment he is just a level 14 wizard, without powerful eight-ring spells, power gems to use at will, and no blessings from divine arts and psychic powers.

He silently opened his panel. After being promoted to level 14, his health points reached 60/60. Using the power gem once consumed 5 points of health points.

Ten times, he only has ten chances to amplify the spell, after which he will fall into a state of near death.

The lich suspended in the air suddenly moved. He rushed towards Emma from the air like a wisp of black smoke, bringing with him waves of wailing negative energy clouds. Nemesis' staff slammed heavily on the ground, and the familiar magical fluctuations made Emma instinctively lean back. Thirty-two spell runes bloomed under their feet, teleporting Emma and Nemesis to dozens of meters away. The lich's bone claws grabbed the place where she had stood before, and the frozen stone bricks turned into gray sand under the erosion of the withering spell.

Vecna ​​was like a shadow hidden in the darkness. His black robe was like a crow in the dark night, rushing across the sky. Every attack of his bone claws carried deadly negative energy.

"Attack the life box quickly! Nemesis!" Emma shouted while dodging the attack.

The Nemesis Staff tapped the direction of the walnut box, and the green ray of [Advanced Dispel Magic] cut through the air, but was blocked by a colorful rainbow light a second before it approached the wooden box.

"Sure enough." Nemesis narrowed his eyes. This wooden box is surrounded by powerful magical protection, which should be the seventh-ring protective spell [Rainbow Wall]. The power of [Advanced Dispel Magic] is not enough.

"Hehehe, you bugs, you think you can defeat me with your strength?" Vick spoke the mocking words in a stiff tone, as if it was a preset program.

"Tsk." Nemesis had to admit that being provoked by a virtual puppet did make him a little angry.

He raised his staff again to gather magic power, but the difference was that this time, as his health points decreased by five points, the power of the spell increased wildly like a distortion.

"Blood as a pledge, return tenfold!"

[Advanced Dispel Magic] The ray that was supposed to be as thin as a finger now swelled to the thickness of a wrist like flour with water added. Vicna noticed that something was wrong with the spell, but he had already lost the opportunity to intercept it.

The moment the thick rays hit the wooden box, the rainbow light wall shattered.

Seeing that Nemesis was about to attack the wooden box, Vecna ​​took action immediately. He did not intend to toy with this intruder any more. He had to deal with it quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Nine-ring transformation spell——[Time Stop]!
The moment the skeleton's palms closed, the world was paused.

Emma saw Nemesis' silver hair frozen in an upturned state, and the blood dripping from the tip of her sword solidified into scarlet crystals. Only the lich paced gracefully in the still gray-white area, his bone-deep fingertips pointing one by one:
A ray of green light sank into the crack in the ground beneath her feet—it was the withering death technique that was about to devour her flesh and blood;
Veins of russet rock crawled up the lich's skeleton;
The colorful wall of light once again wrapped around the stone platform where the life box was located like a poisonous snake.

When the lich's third finger bone began to bend and was covered in an absolute black color, he stretched out the finger enchanted with the [Finger of Death] towards Nemesis.

As soon as time stops, he will use his poisonous fingers to kill this daring little bug completely.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party, who he thought was frozen in time, suddenly looked at him intently with his pupils, and four rings of magic exploded from the top of his staff, and the golden thread of advanced dispel magic entangled the last spell that the lich had not yet formed.

Due to the contact of the reference system, the time stop was broken. The moment the world began to flow again, Emma flipped in the air with the muscle memory strengthened by the sword dance, and the ground where she was standing had turned into a three-foot deep charred pit.

"This is impossible! How can anyone resist the power of stopping time? Are you a legend?" The lich was shocked.
