These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 125: A bit too easy…

Since I had been focused on forming the hand, Iris had gone back to the tablet to keep an eye on the lich just in case it did anything.

It hadn’t moved at first, but then it suddenly made a move.

It was only a small move, but any movement from the lich was important.

Especially since this small movement was actually quite the significant one.

When I looked at the tablet, I found that the lich had slightly turned its head.

It was as if the lich had noticed something…

As soon as that happened, I stopped putting more pieces together and waited to see what the lich would do.

After a while, it seemed like the lich lost interest in whatever it had noticed, but that didn’t mean that I let my guard down. The fact that the lich noticed something like this was a clear sign that putting this hand together was something that the lich cared about.

Not to mention that there was this aura that came from the hand that was similar to the lich’s…and the lich was missing a hand.

It was obvious that this hand was related to the lich in some way.

"What is the range on that camera? How far can you go before you lose control of it?" I suddenly turned to ask Iris this question.

She was surprised to hear this, but then she quickly said, "We can go to the ends of the world and I would still be able to control it."

I was surprised by this answer, but I quickly said with a nod, "Alright, we’re changing locations. We’re going to get as far away from this place as possible."

It was a good thing that they picked things up fast.

From my reaction and the reaction that the lich showed earlier, they could already guess what I was thinking.

In no time at all, we packed up and started heading away from the dungeon.

But from time to time, we stopped to set up a few traps with the undead along the way.

Only when we were far away from the passage did I say, "Make sure to keep a close eye on the lich and follow it if it moves. Tell me right away if something happens."

Iris gave a quick nod before focusing on the tablet.

At the same time, I turned my attention back on the skeletal hand that I was putting together.

I started finding different pieces that would connect to the hand that I had already created, but I didn’t put them together just yet. With my experience, I knew how close it had to be for the force to pull them together.

So I made sure to keep them just separated enough that they wouldn’t automatically connect like before.

Once I had gathered enough of them, I turned to look at Iris to see if she was ready before suddenly bringing them all together.

As soon as they came together, the same force as before pulled the bones towards the hand that had already formed and in no time at all, the hand was complete…or it was almost complete if not for the single last piece that I purposefully held back.

That was because I wanted to see what the reaction from the lich would be if I completed this hand.

The moment that all of those pieces came together, the aura of the skeletal hand became much stronger than before. When it became stronger like this, it was easy to feel the aura that came from this hand.

It was clear that this hand was the missing hand from the lich since it gave off the same feeling as the lich.

But what I was more interested in was the reaction of the lich.

As expected, the lich reacted the moment that the hand was close to completion.

It immediately stopped reading the book that it had been reading and stood up to look in the direction behind it. It was as if it had sensed something with the way that it suddenly stood up like this.

After standing there in a daze for a bit, it suddenly started to move.

It didn’t walk, but rather floated off the ground.

The way that it moved didn’t seem fast at first, but then it started picking up speed as it moved further away from the library.

Iris had to push the camera to keep up with the lich which made a bit of sound, but it didn’t seem like the lich cared at all about the camera as it was only focused on a single thing.

With the way that it was staring forward, it was as if this one thing was the only thing that was on its mind.

I didn’t hesitate after seeing this.

Rather, it just confirmed what I had already been thinking and that just made it easier for me.

So taking that last piece, I snapped it onto the hand.

As soon as this last piece snapped in, the way that the lich moved changed. It was getting further and further away from the camera, while moving faster and faster.

It seemed that the lich was sensing something that was dangerous to it, which was why it was in a rush.

As it was getting further and further from the camera, it seemed like the camera would lose it.

But right before it did get away, we heard something through the camera.

"How did they find my core?"

As expected, this hand formed from the bones that had come from the Elite Monsters of the dungeon was the core of the lich.

The core of a lich was what kept the lich alive.

It was the thing that condensed all of the mana of the lich.

It was what kept them in this mortal plane.

So I quickly snapped the last piece into place and waved my hand at Wang Rong to come help me.

With the two of us working together, we were able to shatter the hand.

It almost seemed a bit too easy…
