Before the lich could attack, I flicked my incinerator wand and cast conflagrate. Snakes of fire tore from the wand, slamming into the lich, but where they hit, steam rose and I could see the faint outline of something blue twinkling. A protective shield of some kind. Quickly, I also activated my fire shield just in time for the lich to blast me with a frosty mist.
Everything turned white, and the ground around me froze. When the white mist cleared, I saw the lich readying another spell, but like hell I was just going to fight fair.
I commanded my minion squad to move in. Zan, Elishmael and the ravens all attacked the lich from behind, chipping away but not destroying the shield. After their fly-by attack, I spammed some more conflagrates because I figured that fire would be very effective against a frosty boner.
Bursts of cold frost licked out from the lich, intercepting my fires.
We stared at each other for a moment. Then the lich's eyes glowed brightly and he started attacking for real.
Frost blasted from the lich and icicles started raining down on my position. I couldn't help but back up, constantly casting conflagrates, my fire roaring against his frosty mist as I tried to dodge the icy spikes with my extreme elegance and habeas corpus and dexterity check.
Well, I have something to admit. I was never that elegant. And maybe I should've focused more on my defenses. Why?
Because there are icy spikes stuck in me, alright?! It's not just one or two, it's like I am pincushioned by icicles! It's ridiculous. Stupid boner lord lars rick should not penetrate me so vigorously!
I HNNNG and cast my greater firewall on top of myself. Although the fire burns me, it works to remove the icicles, although my flesh is a bit charred now and my hair might be on fire. Only a little bit on fire! Although that one icy spike through the left cheek tore a hole in my face, I am still cute, okay? Goddamn it!
The great firewall was but a brief reprieve from the action, but it gave me enough time to order another drive-by minion shooting. It seemed the lich was very annoyed by it, because it let out a loud growl and some sort of circle of frost erupted from it. Another cool AoE attack.
Alyce-chan wants a big meaty AoE attack too, you know?
I cast a great firewall right on top of the lich. A lot of hissing, steam and stuff ensued, and the lich cast another frost circle thingie which managed to dispel my firewall.
“What's the matter there, boner-kun? Your bones turned black yet?” I call over to taunt it.
It let's out a spine-shivering scream and then... it starts raining icicles down on me again.
Goddamn it! Please stop with the Alyce-chan pincushion strategy, you bastard! I cast a sky firewall to protect myself against the damn ice rain. Then I cast curse of weakness and hurl a few dark bolts at it, to see what it will do.
Curse of weakness has limited effect, but the balls of darkness make his shields flare up. My minions come in for another drive-by, and I cast drain life once, twice and three times. The lich howls in anger, and something strange happens. My orange drain life rays start to turn blue. And the blue is creeping back to me. It's strangely like in Harry potter, especially since I am wielding a wand. In any case, the lich is turning my drain life back on me with that blue ice stuff, so I HNNG very hard and pour mana into my three drain life rays. They buzz loudly with power, almost like I am at a high voltage power station. They also undulate, becoming more and more unstable and volatile as I pour in more and more mana, making the buzzing sound almost loud enough to shatter my ear drums and shake the ground. It's really quite crazy.
The blue is being pushed back, and the lich is struggling. Good good, go go Alyce-chan beam! Defeat the evil lich.
Just as I am about to push back the blue rays with my orange ones, the Lich lets out a screech and green energy explodes from it in all directions, cutting off my drain life spells and even eating away at the ground.
Ooh, dangerous! That's a dangerous attack there, boner-kun.
But if my senses aren't mistaken, that is death energy. Is your trump card death energy? Fufufu, if so, then you are screwed! For I am the overloli of death! Wahaha.
Yes.
I will show you the power of the loli side! To distract the Lich, I cast a firewall on it and fling some conflagrates at it, but I am secretly preparing a nasty surprise.
Back in Weimar's adventurer's guild, I picked a talent called preparation, which allows me to store spells for later use.
And it's time to give boner-kun a nasty surprise! The Alyce-chan special AoE version, is coming! I fire off a few more conflagrates as I walk closer and closer to the Lich, all the while secretly preparing my surprise. I can hold five, but I am putting a lot of my mana into each of the five spells. The Alyce-chan burst AoE is coming! Be afraid, be very afraid stupid boner-kun!
The lich rams his staff into the ground, clearing away all of my fire with his frost AoE spell. Then he starts his annoying icicle rain again. Stupid old boner, don't you have any more attacks up your sleeve? I've been pierced before, and I shall be pierced again! A few icicles sticking out of me is no big deal, okay? And I definitely still look cute even though I am currently the Alyce-chan pin cushion.
Ahen.
I run towards the Lich, casting a few conflagrates and dark bolts to distract him. When I am close, I can see the Lich's eyes light up. “Foolish girl!” it howls triumphantly, releasing one of its frost rings.
“Foolish lich!” I reply, releasing my prepared spell. Five mana enhanced blast waves coming right up!
Suddenly, there is a whoosh and then a deafening roar of fire in my ears. I feel slightly empty as mana rushes from me in a huge wave.
But something else rushes from me in a huge wave, and that is fire.
My surroundings become a roaring, burning hell. The flames pulse once, twice, thrice. The lich is screaming, his blue shield is flickering and he is casting some frost and death mana spell desperately. My blast wave ocean of fire pulses a fourth and then a fifth time, burning away everything, scorching my eyes and the very air itself.
After a second or two, things clear away and I see the Lich, bones blackened, backing away. He is almost at the edge of cliff richards and the death energy flowing from his eyes seems unusually dim.
Gazing upon him, I also feel the heaviness in my body. I feel like taking a nap, so tired... but the bonerlord is still standing there, although he is not mocking me any longer. He looks afraid.
Letting out an angry hiss, the bonerlord throws himself over the edge.
Shit! I am not letting him get away. Stupid boner! You are mine! Even riddled with holes, with my flesh torn to pieces and my mana tank looking pretty light, I still want to continue. This is my chance to end the stupid bonerlord and damned if I will let him just float away.
Calling my minions over, I walk to the edge of the cliff. I'm dizzy from exhaustion, so I am not sure if the dizziness is only from exhaustion, or also from the heights. But I feel like I am almost too tired to care... Down there, I see the Lich floating away, some vague green mana mist surrounding him.
As I expected, the stupid boner is trying to get away!
“Raven-chan squad, fly me down there! After him!” I command, and a regiment of ravens all sink their claws into me. Since my clothes are unreliable and have a tendency to fall off or get torn to pieces, I will my ravens to sink their claws directly into my flesh. My original raven-chan GPS sinks her claws deeply into my back and acts as my main pair of wings, with a few ravens on my shoulders and legs. There is also a raven-chan on my ass, but let's not talk about that. I will allow him to get his claws on my ass just this once since it's important for Alyce-chans air mobility.
Soon enough, I am flying down after the Lich. My head is spinning, and my world is a bit blurry, but I am keeping my consciousness intact with a few powerful HNNGs.
“Sshh-shtop right there chri-sshriiminal shrumm!” I say, floating down dizzily. The Lich turns back, its mouth opening in surprise before it starts desperately running away using all of its death mana to make the green floaty cloud thing go faster.
Uuh, death mana? Ah, I am the overloli of death, aren't I? It's hard to think clearly right now, but I remember that sensation from back during the Lintball expedition.
Grinning widely, I order my Raven-chan squad to speed up. I kamikaze dive after the boner. Behind me, I can hear Grom shouting, but I can't hear what he is saying.
“Ss.. you have vioo-viooolated the law and mush phey a pwice!” I shout, my whole world moving strangely from side to side like I am on a ship. But I am definitely not sea-sick, okay? I will not use the projectile vomit technique right now.
Instead, I will use Death energy absorption. Fufufu.
I put my all into casting death energy absorption. I'm going for broke! Thrusters on full, the most intense HNNG!
The green mist around the Lich starts bleeding away from it and flowing towards me in small whispy tendrils. I can't help but giggle a bit insanely as I feel the influx of energy. Ah, what a nostalgic feeling this is. The Alyce-chan mana tank is being refilled.
“Yooouuu! What are you doing!” The lich shouts, turning towards me.
Is that fear I detected in its voice just now?
“Stop, stop that now!” It shouts, clearly desperate.
“Nope!” I say, giving boner-kun my best overloli smile as I continue to drain away the energy.
Soon, the lich starts gaining speed, falling faster and faster towards the ground. Once I've drained about 90% of the green mist, The lich is pretty much in free fall, plummeting towards the rocks on the river below.
For my own part, although my head is fuzzy and my world is spinning, I am adding the green death energy to my own mana reserves and this gives me some extra energy.
The Lich crashes into the rocks below with a loud crack. The stones cracked, but I think I may see a few cracks on the lich's blackened bones too.
With my Raven-chan squad, I kamikaze dive towards the fallen Lich.
It turns its face towards me, and I think I can see fear in its eyes even though a skull cannot have any expressions. But somehow, this skull is showing me an expression of fear.
For some reason, this makes me laugh out loud, cackling like a madwoman. I even allow a quick tehehe, but enough is enough.
I gather all of my mana and throw everything I got into this last attack. Well, I say that, but I just start spamming conflagrates as I fall from the sky.
“You rained ice on me! But now I'm raining fire on you, stupid lich!” I shout, as snakes of fire ripple from me, the roaring flames raining down like thunderous streaks painting the canvas of the sky with sizzling streams of flame.

Yes. I spammed a bit much, but the fire flowed from me in a continuous stream. Some people just want to watch the world burn... I might be one of those people... yes. I might be in danger of becoming a pyromaniac.
In any case, the Alyce-chan flames of justice bombard the bonerlord from the skies and like the mighty overloli that I am, I emerge victorious. Yay, yay. Peace.
My ravens fly me down to the ground. My world is dim and wobbly, but there is a great rush in my belly and I can't stop giggling and going fufufu to myself. They drop me on top of the blackened remains of the Lich, and I land among the bones, my flesh torn, pin cushion holes everywhere, my cheek gone, my face torn and claw marks all over my body. Even on my butt.

But I won.
Justice!
Now before I fall asleep, I must quickly replenish my energy. And of course, the way to do that is to eat.
It is always good to eat some boners after a sweaty session of heavy HNNG.
Ahen.
Yes.
So with weak and feeble hands, I reach out and grab one of the black, cracked bones of the Lich, bring it up to my torn face and crunch crunch.
I expected the taste of dry charcoal, but instead what fills my mouth is the orgasmic taste of vanilla strawberry icecream! Perhaps I am exaggerating slightly, but once I've been through the crunchy crust of the bone, the inside is cool and icy and tastes very sweet. After only a single mouthful, energy is already surging through my body and I resist the urge to spasm around. Now is not the time to lose control of my body.
Let's do that with Tie'sha and Grom later.
Ahen.
I lost myself to the delicious candy-like bones and had a grand feast, munching and crunching and growling and drooling, feeling very ghoul-like. It was so nice, so freeing. Shame I don't have a side of freedom fries to go with my deliciously envigorating boner sticks. Mmmhmmm, so good!
So scrumptiously nummy scrummy!
Some time later, I regain my senses.
I am sitting alone on the rock near the river where the Lich fell. All around me is black, and the vegetation is burned by my flames. And most crucially of all. There is no more Arch-lich Lazarik. I ate it all!
I clap twice and then put my hands together, closing my eyes in prayer as I say “Thanks for the meal! It was so nummy.”
I notice that the skies have darkened considerably since the battle had begun, and thoughts of the others, of Tie'sha and Grom, prod and poke at my mind. I remember that it didn't take awfully long to climb cliff richards, so maybe I can make it back to them without flying.
I am getting a bit dizzy just from thinking about the heights, but I won't faint!
I glance down at my body, and as I expected, my clothes are nearly gone. My cool black sith cloak has been reduced to a few pieces and scraps of torn cloth hanging from me. My body is full of holes, wounds, tears... but at least my ribcage isn't exposed. Oh, and my face is messed up.
That stupid Lars rick messed up my face with his boner magic, I won't forgive him! But well, he is dead so I guess that is fine. And his remains were very nummy and sent me into ghoul mode, so I will forgive him posthumously.
Closing my eyes briefly, I check my levels of biomass only to discover an absolutely massive amount of it. I guess the bonerlord was more than just skin and bones. Maybe the marrow of his bones were infused with special bonerlord juice or something. In any case, Alyce-chan now has a lot of biomass, you know? Of course, there is only one thing I can do with this much biomass.
The Alyce-chan reconstruction project! Version 2.0. Or... is it 3.0 now? I forget how many times I have had to do this.
Oh well, it doesn't matter.
I squeeze my eyes shut and HNNG very hard, activating flesh manipulation and fixing my body. I can feel the holes closing, the flesh of my cheek growing back and my butt becoming whole again after that raven-chan grabbed it so viciously in flight. Trouble is, I still have quite a lot of biomass left over even after I've regenerated my body.
What to do, what to do... last time I tried to get a tail so that I could look cuter, and it definitely made me cuter, you know? Alyce-chan is absolutely without question supremely cute, okay? Goddamn it!
But I am loathe to risk acquiring another 'pleasure' organ... what if I grew tentacles. Poor Tie'sha would faint again and again.
Ahen.
I think I will go with the bones. Strengthening my bones is important, you know? The overloli has to have bones of steel! Super special Lich calcium must be used in the construction of my legendary loli skeleton! Yes yes.
In my imagination, I visualize pure bones without flaws, without defects, stronger than steel and more flexible than rubber, indestructible. Okay, that was impossible, so I'll go with nearly indestructible. I guess disturbed copyrighted indestructible. Don't copy strike me bro!
Well, what to say? It hurt a lot. I may have fainted a little bit.
But only a little bit, okay? Goddamn it!
Anyway, when I opened my eyes I was lying on my back and there was a blanket covering my almost naked body. Nearby, I could hear hushed conversation but I recognized the voices, it was Grom and Tie'sha, so I relaxed and focused on the other thing that was tickling my mind, the floating system-chan messages.
Yes. System-chan took the time to kick me while I was down! The evil harlot.
Well, in this case, it wasn't so bad. System-chan... maybe you're okay, after all.
I am actually extremely happy right now.
Now only did I not faint from the system-chan attack, but I gained the overloli title.
Fufufu. Even system-chan recognizes my greatness as the brilliantly goodly greatly amazingly beautifully se--*cough* super cool overloli.
Yes. I am overpowered. Got a problem with that, huh?! I'll step on your face, you dog. Fufufu.
Ahen.
Another reason why I am warming up to system-chan, is the fact that she attacked me while I was already taking a nap. Thus, no big consciousness crushing system-chan message attack! It's very nice.
With a lazy smile on my face, I sit up but take care to stay wrapped up in the blanket. Even though flat is justice, I won't expose myself so easily! Though I've had accidents in the past, but let's ignore those, alright?
We're ignoring them.
Definitely ignoring them.
Okay? Goddamn it!
It takes Grom and Tie'sha awhile to notice that I'm awake, but once they do, they approach me tentatively. Grom has a complicated expression on his face, but Tie'sha is tearing up. She throws herself at me, melting against my body like jelly. “Lady Alyce!”
I pat her on the head. “There there, it's alright.”
“You were amazing, lass.” Grom says quietly in the background as Tie'sha continues to sniffle and bury her face in my chest. Such a good doggy maid, fufufu. Her tail is wagging like crazy. I gently nugi nugi her ears and make her squirm.
“Well, it was a cool battle.” I say. “Where are the maggots, I mean the rest of the people?”
“They be hiding out in the dungeon. The few soldiers we have left be guarding them, but they be safe, for now.”
“Good, good. Then hand me some clothes you big hairy piece of meat.”
Grom looks at me, then down at his empty hands, then over at Tie'sha.
With a sigh, I get the message. He did not bring the wunderbag from the Corneliáves house.
“Well, I guess since it's just you and Tie'sha, it's fine.” I say and get up, not bothering to cover myself fully with the blanket. I just drape it over my shoulders as a cape. Tie'sha's face starts reddening, and Grom furrows his eyebrows but forces himself to look at me.
“See, I fixed up all the holes. It's fine.” I say, slightly puffing out my chest. Finally, Grom averts his gaze and curses underneath his breath, and I giggle in response.
“My... my lady, I thought you were going to die when I saw all those icicles sticking out of you.” Tie'sha mutters quietly.
“... Well, let's not talk about my pin cushion episode. You should know by now that I am not that easy to kill.” I say, wrapping the blanket around my torso. Most of my legs are covered by long socks that have magically survived the attack, and my feet are safely tucked away in my cute Mary Jane shoes.
I am all ready to go.
“Come on my minions, let's go and see what Ren-kun is up to. I want honeycakes. I deserve them, you know. After all I did, I definitely deserve some honeycakes, and some candy apples too.” I say, and we stroll up the path to my dungeon with the silvery light of the moon shining brightly in the sky behind me.
Today was a good day. I got to kill some boners. Then I got to eat some boners, and now I am with my Tie'sha and my hairy meat pie, going up to my own personal witch coven dungeon with snacks waiting inside. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to try and capture seaweed-chan and her red-headed swordsman friend and tease Ren-kun a little bit. Fufufu... it was good that I came to this world. Very good indeed.
And my journey has only just begun! Alyce-chan in another world... I glance up at the silvery moonlight, at the stars twinkling above, and I smile contentedly to myself.
Yes, it really was good that I came to this world.
