Madara now headed south alone for the day, placing his faith in Yennefer to take care of Ciri while she would be without him for the first time, as it was necessary that she did not participate in the battle. He entered Sodden once again, after so many years, since the last time he came to this country, he had helped Prince Thorne take his father's place.

It didn't take long for him to find the supporting army moving along the right side of the mountains towards the main force. Madara continued advancing, passing through the men and moving along the ridge where the large hills would begin, still keeping to the direction along the mountains.

He could still see the army in the distance as they continued their march; this would be the last time he saw them before the battle. He noticed the sun was beginning to set, and Madara decided to rest a bit before continuing.

"Now let's put some clones to gather information," he said, arriving at a place where he would stay for the night, having already decided on his next step.

Quickly, he crossed his fingers and began creating multiple clones. Several Madaras looked around, already knowing what they needed to do: patrol the entire mountain range to check the situation and bring information back to the original. After seeing all of them dart into the trees, he finally set up a camp for himself, as it was already getting dark, and even the distant army seemed to be giving signs of stopping due to the end of the day.

And so, he rested on the mountain slope with a simple camp; without Ciri, it was much more practical. However, that night was not as peaceful as he had imagined, for in the middle of the night, he felt a disturbance as the clones he had stationed as sentries near the camp began to disappear, indicating that an intruder had entered his territory.

He opened his eyes with the information of a creature over 4 meters tall, surrounded by crows at all times. It had branch-like horns and a skull of a dead deer as a head, and it was heading directly towards where Madara was, perhaps having seen his campfire from afar.

"A lich?" Madara murmured with some interest, seeing the creature for the first time, not expecting to encounter one like this.

The other clones also sensed the disturbance in the area and approached while Madara calmly rose from his sleeping bag and waited for the creature.

"Stay out of this," Madara told the other clones occupying the nearby trees, as his eyes awaited the sound of crows emerging from the darkness of the forest.

He could sense the creature's intent to kill him and smiled, accepting the challenge as he calmly took hold of a kunai. The creature finally appeared about 20 meters away, observing him.

He closed his eyes and reopened them, revealing his Sharingan; after all, he was in a moment of study, wanting to see how his eyes could perceive such a creature from this world.

At that moment, the crows became agitated, and with a puff of smoke, the lich began to disappear, advancing toward him with a figure camouflaged in the environment, even more concealed by the night.

Madara remained silent, attentive to the creature, which tried to approach stealthily. His eyes could see it coming perfectly, and in the next moment, the lich reappeared beside him, raising its claws and attacking Madara. He was quick enough to dodge the strike.

Grabbing the creature's arm after the dodge and advancing towards it, Madara reached its face with ease and used his kunai, channeling chakra into his hand. The creature let out a groan of rage as the bone on its face was easily pierced, and it began to thrash about while the crows surrounding it started to attack Madara.
