Chapter 149: Filling the Lich Lady's Body

"Miss Wiz?"

Broly walked over, not quite understanding the Lich lady's condition; after thinking for a moment he took out the bread stick he had brought, placed it near her nose, and let her smell it.

Perhaps sensing the somewhat warm rod-like object approaching her face, or perhaps detecting a source of vitality appearing beside her, Wiz suddenly opened her eyes.

Her gaze seemed to hold a hint of crimson, like a starved beast, locking onto the boy by the bed.

A cold breath spread through the room, but in the end Wiz did nothing — she merely swallowed her saliva at the bread stick brought near her mouth, then sat up.

"So it's you."

Wiz said somewhat weakly.

"What's wrong with you? You look very weak."

Broly asked curiously; when he saw her last night, she wasn't like this.

【After taking a hit from a goddess-level Purification Jutsu, then performing last rites all night for the ghosts in the cemetery, how could she not be weak?】

The corner of Wiz's mouth twitched, and she gave a different explanation: "I didn't sleep well last night."

"That won't do; you need to go to bed early and rise early."

Broly started lecturing her directly.

Thanks to someone else's care, in this world he had also developed the good habit of going to bed early and rising early.

The Lich lady: "..."

Gentle as she was, she now really wanted to retort: Whose fault is this exactly! "I understand."

Wiz replied softly, watching the boy swallow his saliva again.

"One look at you tells me you're hungry; I bought a bread stick — do you want to eat it?"

Broly asked, and again poked the bread stick in his hand toward Wiz.

"I am a Lich; I can't eat normal human food."

Wiz was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

"Then what do you eat? I'll go buy it for you."

Broly was indeed currying favor, but his purpose in currying favor was to raise the Happiness Value.

And the method used was by giving the other person things to eat.

"What I eat, hmm, could you let me eat a little?"

Perhaps because she was too weak, the Lich's instinct to yearn for the living gained the upper hand at this moment.

"Ah, what am I saying?"

But Wiz quickly reacted, letting her human consciousness return to the high ground of consciousness.

"Sure, but what do you want to eat of mine — my flesh?"

However, Broly had already retorted.

"Eh, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Wiz's eyes widened.

"Mm."

Getting a confirming answer, the Lich lady merely hesitated a moment, then prepared to sample the boy before her.

After all, right now she was truly too weak; there was a chance she might accidentally dissipate.

"Then come a little closer; I'll only take a bit of your life force."

Wiz placed her hand on Broly's chest and carefully used the Undead's unique Life Drain Skill, worried she might harm the child before her.

She originally intended to drain a little life force to recover her state, but the result was that the moment she connected with Broly, his life force surged forth like a mighty river.

"Eh, so you want my Qi — why didn't you say so earlier? Here, take it, take it, all for you!"

Broly felt a portion of his Qi being extracted; he might not have much else, but he had plenty of Qi, and upon discovering the Lich lady needed this thing, he immediately generously transported his Qi from the place where it overflowed toward Wiz. "Ah, no, too much is coming in, I'm going to be filled up, uu~"

Life force is an incomparably delicious thing for dead souls; the main reason conscious undead cannot control themselves from attacking the living is mainly that they cannot control the urge to taste fresh life force.

Wiz knew this, so she had always been very restrained about draining creatures' life force, but she never expected that after restraining herself to this day, one careless move would let someone feed her full.

Her body was no longer illusory, but instead had become the Magic Tool Shopkeeper with a flushed, radiant complexion; she looked somewhat resentfully at the boy beside her gnawing on a bread stick, seemingly unaware of what he had just done, and couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks for the treat."

"No need to thank me; if you need my Qi in the future, just come find me anytime — I've got plenty of it."

Broly said somewhat muffledly while gnawing the bread stick; just now the Lich lady only ate a bit of his Qi, and her Happiness Value rose by over forty points.

If not for the feeling that continuing to pour Qi might cause this Lich lady to burst, Broly would definitely have channeled even more Qi into her.

"Okay, if I have need in the future..."

Wiz did not doubt Broly's words; if others' life force is but a pot of water, then he is a boundless vast sea that stretches beyond sight.

【One can only say, truly worthy of being the child the Water Goddess Aqua-sama took as a Disciple and values!】

"Right, what's your name? I didn't ask you last night."

"Miss Wiz, you can just call me Broly."

"Okay, Broly; you don't need to use honorifics after my name either — just call me Wiz directly. Also, really, thank you today; if you hadn't come looking for me, I really might have dissipated alone in this room."

"Eh, you would dissipate?"

"That's just a low-probability event."

A Lich dissipating is a very rare thing, because a Lich itself absorbs magic power to maintain its own existence.

Speaking logically, if not for meeting the Goddess Aqua, a Lich of Wiz's caliber might even find suicide a bit difficult.

"Then how can you avoid dissipating?"

Broly grew nervous.

"As long as there's enough life force."

Wiz replied subconsciously.

"Then let me give you a taste of my Qi?"

Broly spoke and prepared to infuse Wiz's body with Qi, just like he did just now.

But without Wiz actively releasing the Life Drain Skill, his use of Qi was limited to Energy Bullets.

He held it in for a while, only managing to squeeze out a single Energy Ball.

The terrifying might emanating from the Energy Ball scared Wiz into retreating repeatedly.

If this thing were pressed into her body, she would probably die directly, right?!

"That move of yours just now, how did you do it?"

Broly held it in again for a while, only changing the quantity of Energy Balls to plural, then asked.

"That is the Life Drain Skill, a trick only high-ranking Undead can learn."

Hearing this, Broly retracted the Energy Balls and took out his Adventurer Card.

"Ah, that is not something humans can..."

Wiz's words were not finished, before she saw Broly directly add a Skill.

"Life Drain~"

Then, she saw the boy reach out his hand, just like her movement just now, placing his hand on her chest position, and the same Skill lit up.

"Ah, stop pouring Life Force in, I'm already filled up by you!"

The Lich lady received a fright, hurriedly crying out.
