Zenberu who dashed out faster than anyone else stretched his giant arm and attacked the Skeleton Warrior.
　He didn’t care when the Skeleton Warrior blocked it with its shield, using brute force to press them back. The shield was dented, and the Skeleton Warrior staggering back collided with the other Skeleton Warrior and lost its balance. At the same time, Zenberu used his tail to swipe at another Skeleton Warrior, but missed.
　The formation of the Skeleton Warriors was broken and Zaryusu used this chance to slip through.
[Stop him!]
　Two Skeleton Warriors slashed at Zaryusu after hearing the Lich’s command.
　It was possible for Zaryusu to dodge; he could also use Frost Pain to block if he wanted to. But Zaryusu did neither of these. Dodging would mean he was slow.
　Zaryusu didn’t want to make any unnecessary moves in front of the Lich.
　And more importantly—
“<earth>!”</earth>
　The earth moved like whips, binding the two Skeletal Warriors. The whips made from mud were like steel chains, restraining the movement of the two Skeleton Warriors as Zaryusu charged into the gap in their formation.
　That’s right.
　—-Crusch was present too.
　Zaryusu wasn’t fighting alone, he just needed to trust his comrades.
　Even Crusch’s magic couldn’t seal off their movements completely. The scimitars of the Skeleton Warriors still grazed Zaryusu. But that was nothing, his boiling blood made him impervious to this pain.
　Zaryusu ran.
　He charged at the Lich who was pointing his finger at him. Even if he got hit by a spell, Zaryusu had to endure it and charge the target. He moved with iron willed determination.
[Fools! Know true fear! <scare>!]</scare>
　A fear like something had grabbed his heart attacked Zaryusu.
　His vision shook, he could not understand where he was standing, and he felt uncertain, like something in his surroundings was about to attack him.
　His legs were slowing down to a stop.
　His legs could not move from the effect mental magic attack <scare>.</scare>
　Zaryusu, Zenberu and Crusch were strong. However, the Lich was stronger, they had fully understood that fact. Their bodies were screaming at them to run away. However they were chosen as part of this special group as they could suppress it with their will. Their originally suppressed instincts received reinforcement from the Lich’s magic, and stole their right to control their body.
　Their hearts screamed at their legs to move. However, they did not.
“Zaryusu!
　Using wide area spell at such a range? He wants to kill himself— No!
　Realizing the lich wasn’t looking at him, Zaryusu was filled with fear. The Lich was looking behind Zaryusu. It was focusing on Crusch and Zenberu who were lying on the ground.
　What should I do!?
　If he threw the two away, he could stop the Lich. This was quite a large gap. The Lich and Zaryusu did not have much strength left. If he let this chance get away, the chance of victory would get lower.
　To defeat the Lich—-That was why they had came here. Then he should sacrifice the two of them. They will definitely forgive him.
　— Even so.
　Zaryusu wasn’t someone who would abandon the comrades fighting alongside him.
　Throwing away his comrades, he could not make such a decision.
　Then—-Save the two of them and then destroy the Lich.
