Overlord: Multiverse

Chapter 8: Yggdrasil VI

It took me over a month to finish the nine dungeons. During those runs, I died many times.

'But, finally, I have gathered all the items needed to open the last dungeon.'

I was standing before a massive gate made of ice. It was located at the heart of the icy tundras of Nifelheim. It was the entrance to the dungeon called the "Soulforge Catacombs."

The gate was embellished with nine circular recesses, with eight encompassing the central one. To access the gate, I had to place the drops obtained from the bosses of the preceding nine dungeons into these recesses.

I placed the items in the recesses, and the gate opened with a thud. Beyond it, there was a rocky pathway illuminated with torches. I ventured inside and kept walking for a little while.

Over the past month, I was able to level up my demon variant to 88. That meant I could use 10th-tier spells as well as Super Tier magic.

In Yggdrasil, magic reached its peak at the 10th tier. However, Super-Tier magic exceeded this limit, acting more like special abilities rather than spells. Magic casters could unleash it without consuming any of their MP. The number of super-tier spells a player could learn was one for each level after level 70.

When Super-Tier magic was first learned, it could only be used once in 24 hours. However, it could be used more frequently for every ten levels gained.

As a result, the average player who had reached level 100 in Yggdrasil could use Super-Tier Magic at least four times a day and had about thirty super-tier spells in their arsenal.

Each super-tier spell also required a specific amount of casting time before activation.

I learned 5 Super-Tier spells during the previous month. I planned to learn more after I got my hands on the racial and job class.

Because upon acquiring them, I needed to make space for the new classes by relinquishing some of my existing racial and job class levels.

To complete the requirements to get the new classes, I needed to kill the boss of this dungeon alone and with magic. I continued along the narrow trail, and after a while, it led to a vast and spacious chamber.

The spacious area was adorned with an ethereal glow; emanating from the magic crystals embedded within the walls and ceiling. As I stepped further into the chamber, my eyes fell on the heart of the dungeonthe catacombs.

Ten graves rested in solemn slumber, four on either side of the expansive space and two more centrally located. Many cracks were present on the graves, with steam coming out of some. The symbolism of the eight graves was linked to distinct elements, showcased by symbols etched onto their tombstones.

As for the central graves, they each bore dual symbols: one signifying a demon and the other representing an explosion.

Then a skeletal hand came out of one of the graves with the symbol of water. I didn't wait for that thing to come out of the grave and immediately fired a spell toward it.

'*Boost Maximize Magic: Gravity Maelstorm.*'

[MP: 92 -> 85]

It was a 9th-tier spell. A spiraling black ball of gravity manifested and rushed toward the exposed hand. Upon contact, it exploded into a massive explosion.

Once the smoke cleared, a skeleton wearing tattered mage clothes stood atop the exposed grave.

It pointed its hand toward me. After a second, water surged under my feet, propelling me toward the ceiling.

[HP: 79 -> 78]

[HP: 78 -> 77]

[HP: 77 -> 76]

I used *Fly*, a 3rd-tier spell, to float away from the water column.

'*Maximize Triplet Magic: Obsidian Sword.*'

[MP: 85-> 78]

It was a 10th-tier spell. It creates an obsidian sword that will lock onto a target and hone in like a missile.

Because I used Triplet meta-magic, three swords rushed toward the skeleton.

The skeleton dodged one by sidestepping, but the remaining two struck him. Without waiting, I used another spell, and it did the same.

'*Maximize Magic: Vermilion Nova*.'

[MP: 78 -> 70]

It was a 9th-tier spell; that targeted the enemy with a pillar of flame while dealing with a fire-based type of damage.

A big pillar traveled toward the skeleton- while at the same time, numerous water walls manifested around it and initiated an assault against me.

The pillar engulfed the skeleton. I managed to evade most of the water balls, but some still struck me.

[HP: 76 -> 70]

[HP: 70 -> 64]

[Congragulations on Defeating a level 83 Lich Lord! You have received 13,500 EXP]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 13,500 EXP -> 20,250 EXP.]

'Guess he is dead.'

While still floating, I took out health and MP recovery potions from my inventory. But, before I could drink them, a black blade pierced my chest.

[HP: 64 -> 44]

I quickly used *Greater Teleportation* to create distance between me and the attacker.

I tried to find the attacker but was unable to find him. I drank both potions; while still keeping my guard up.

To Be Continued...

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I didn't have time to write a full-size chapter because I'm going to another city to meet some friends after 4 years. So, I'll try to upload 2 chapters tomorrow. Peace
