Even with thick fog all around and visibility extremely low, every path here was etched into Greg's mind after eighty-one runs through the original game's map.

From the surrounding fog came the occasional hollow roar of undead creatures, mixed with students' startled cries, chanted incantations, and exploding spells.

Clearly, quite a few student teams had accepted the quest, ventured deep into the area, and engaged the undead.

Greg kept walking.

He had a clear objective for this trip and had no intention of getting involved in these scattered battles.

He was here to help Victoria, but he did not plan to intervene directly and draw attention to himself.

There had been far too much discussion about him at the Academy lately. He needed to deliberately keep a lower profile and let the buzz die down naturally.

So he decided to exploit the undead's traits to help Victoria in a very discreet way.

Undead creatures were monsters with an extremely rigid hierarchy of rank and power.

Low-level undead instinctively obeyed higher-level undead and could even be subjected to their mental suppression and direct commands.

Once the high-level undead serving as their command center was killed, the lower-level undead under its control would briefly shut down, losing their coordination and becoming easy to pick off one by one.

This trait gave Greg the perfect opportunity to provide indirect support.

A lone low-level undead posed little threat.

A large group of undead might look dangerous, but as long as its highest-level commander was precisely eliminated, the entire group would instantly fall apart.

According to information from the original game, the highest-level undead leader occupying this graveyard during the "Return of the Dead" event was the Level 30 Death Knight in the central underground tomb.

"Level 30..."

Greg weighed it up in his mind.
