Chapter 815 The Grim Lich!
Jacob found this when he stepped directly into the heart of the Tower of Virgo right off the bat. This startled him, and he thought he was under illusion! The atmosphere was suffocating, thick with the essence of darkness. The stone beneath his feet was cold and unyielding, and as he looked around, the chamber\'s walls came to life with murals—intricate and haunting.
Depicted on the walls was the image of Virgo, a woman cloaked in eternal darkness. Her face was an abyss, a void without features, but her form was hypnotically alluring, exuding a charisma that seemed to draw the very light from the room. She was the embodiment of darkness, a force both terrifying and mesmerizing. Each mural seemed to pulse with life, illustrating her descent into shadows, a celestial being who ruled the darkness with effortless power.
Although this place was gloomy and dark, Jacob instantly recognized its resemblance to the Tower of Leo and the Tower of Taurus\'s final trial. Jacob quickly opened the Cursed Immortality to confirm his guess.

\'What is going on? I\'m already on the final trial?\' Jacob was even more shocked now when suddenly his gaze was drawn to the center of the chamber, where a violent scene was unfolding.
The Grim Lich, Pascal, stood surrounded by an army of skeletal warriors, mages, and even riders on skeletal horses, their bony figures animated by the sinister power of his staff. The dark gemstone atop his twisted ebony staff pulsed with energy, and with every beat, another skeleton rose from the ground, swelling his ranks.
Against this army of Dark Beings, the Wisp of Virgo hovered at the far end of the chamber, her form flickering like a living shadow, darting between the encroaching hordes.
Her dark magic lashed out, powerful tendrils of pure darkness sweeping across the battlefield, destroying dozens of skeletons simultaneously. The air seemed to bend under the weight of her magic, yet it was clear she was struggling against the overwhelming numbers.
Jacob decided not to interfere as he watched from the shadows, his Eyes of Judge piercing through the scenes playing in front of him. Something was really off.
The Grim Lich\'s strategy was obvious—he was using the endless tide of his dark being army to smother the Wisp, preventing her from unleashing her full might. His Legendary Treasure, the staff, was the source of his power, allowing him to summon and control the horde with ease.
But Jacob felt a plunging unease. Despite being pushed back, the Wisp of Virgo exuded a power that even the Lich seemed to underestimate. There was no way Virgo, one of the Zodiac, would be so easily overwhelmed by a mere swarm of dark beings.
The Lich hid behind his army, relying on quantity over quality, but the surrounding darkness responded to Virgo. Her magic was far more potent than the Grim Lich had accounted for.
As if sensing Jacob\'s thoughts, Virgo\'s next attack was a display of raw, elemental power. Her shadowy form solidified, and she unleashed a wave of darkness that rippled through the chamber like a tidal wave.
The skeletons disintegrated in its path, their bones turning to dust as the energy washed over them. The room grew colder as the darkness intensified, and even the Grim Lich was forced to raise his staff, summoning a barrier to protect himself from the sheer force of Virgo\'s magic.
The Lich snarled, his flaming eyes burning with fury. He muttered an incantation and a new wave of undead rose from the ground. Jacob could see the cracks forming. The Lich was being pushed to his limits, and it was clear that he would be utterly outmatched without his staff.
Virgo\'s dark magic twisted and writhed like living creatures, seeking out weaknesses in the Lich\'s defenses. Her power was relentless, a force of nature that could not be tamed by numbers alone. At that moment, Jacob knew that this trial was not about brute strength or overwhelming force.
However, despite being slightly disadvantageous, the Grim Lich didn\'t seem too overwhelmed like Samantha against Leo. At this moment, the Grim Lich suddenly smacked the staff on the floor, releasing a powerful energy wave, and the Wisp of Virgo instantly reacted by turning into a dark mist.
But despite the Wisp of Virgo, it still seemed to be affected by that magic ripple. Jacob again felt that it was an illusion because he had seen Leo\'s overwhelming strength, and he knew that the Dark Being army summoning the Grim Lich wasn\'t enough to corner Virgo, even if that staff in its hand were a Legendary Treasure.
However, with his Eyes of Judge, he knew he wasn\'t seeing things. Virgo was really getting overwhelmed, and the Grim Lich seemed to be winning. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
\'How could a Taboo Existence like Virgo on the same rank as Leo and Taurus would be so weak?\' Jacob was still in disbelief before a sudden realization drew on him, \'Wait a moment, could it be this Lich didn\'t choose the Star King Difficulty level tower trial; instead, he decided the Star Warrior difficulty and passed the first four trials automatically?
\'It must be this way! Because this is the only explanation for why the Wisp of Virgo is so weak. So, does this mean this Lich is not something sent by a legendary king? Instead, he\'s from lesser galaxies?
\'But then how did he have that staff? I can tell by the soul force undulations that it is at least a Fable Legendary Treasure. Could it be that Lich also found it in the lesser galaxies like I found Yin Sky Island? Or he\'s simply some big shot\'s scion from the Dead Faction and given free reins and only here to get the Cosmic Vestige?\' Jacob was intrigued by this Grim Lich since his actions were completely different from those of the heirs of the middle galaxies, who were here to get ascension permits for their backers. But this Grim Lich seemed to be only here for the Vestige, so Jacob was now confused if he was really from the Middle Galaxies or someone lucky like himself!
