Chapter 25: Fork to the Rescue!
While defending the entrance, Alex exhausts his mana and, being a priest, isn't particularly able to fight anymore. Marco similarly casts a spell that exhausts his mana, stamina and most of his health. This leaves only Ferdinand to defend the entrance. Because of his determination and resolve in fighting off the skeletons for so long, he unlocks Fighting Spirit.

Back at the fight with the lich, the skeleton warlord manages to block Lily's spell, but its weapon is broken in half and it loses quite a bit of death energy fending it off. The warlord initiates a duel with Luc. They exchange blows for a while, with Luc slowly accumulating wounds and unable to gain the upper hand. Out of desperation, he throws Gerald. Gerald manages to avoid all the skeletons an grab the lich's phylactery, returning it to Luc, as Gerald is taking damage from the death energy within it. Luc purifies it, killing the lich and thus all his skeletons, ending the fight.
