No Suspense

Leisarit (Death Knight): "Dead souls, heed my call!" With a utterance of his runeblade, white mist enveloped him, summoning several skeleton guards from within. Each guard was clad in bones and wielded an ancient sword, ready to aid him.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Do you think you're the only one who can summon underlings?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Spirit of Flame —hear my command!" As flames rose, three fire elementals were summoned and charged forward.

Biting Wind Protection! A gale swirled around Xiao Yu, sending the charging skeleton guards flying. Meanwhile, the three fire elementals fired Fire Bolt from a distance, putting Leisarit at an even greater disadvantage.

"Why do I feel like we don't even need to lift a finger?" a mage named Beautifully Freezing complained, somewhat exasperated.

"Yeah, and why does it seem like our Water Elemental is more like the BOSS?" said another hunter named Two or Three Kittens.

Indeed, in terms of size alone, Xiao Yu, a giant Water Elemental standing two stories tall, is clearly more like a boss than the Death Knight, who is only the size of a normal knight. Moreover, he is not afraid at all in the fight. There is no way around it; elemental creatures are naturally more effective against the Undead. In addition, Xiao Yu is a mutated elemental, which gives him an even greater advantage. Even with the level advantage, the Death Knight can only barely fight Xiao Yu to a draw.

But don't forget, Xiao Yu also has a bunch of adventurers and a hero by his side.

"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Help!" Esmehalda said, and a Frostbolt flew out. Only then did the adventurers realize that Xiao Yu had been so powerful that they had subconsciously treated the battle as a scene from a movie, and only now did they remember that they were in a dungeon.

Immediately, hunters' arrows and frost mages' Frostbolt rained down on the Death Knight.

The previously stalemate suddenly turned into a one-sided affair. Although each adventurer could only deal tens or hundreds of points of damage at a time, their sheer numbers made up for it. The dense barrage of attacks caused the Death Knight's health to plummet.

Meanwhile, the healers started healing Xiao Yu. For a boss with 120,000 HP, there was no possibility of over-healing, so they were particularly generous in healing him, and Xiao Yu's HP increased instead of decreasing.

The battle lasted for three minutes. Xiao Yu's health was fully restored, while the Death Knight's health dropped to less than half.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Isn't this a bit unfair?" But this guy must have other tricks up his sleeve, right? Judging from the beginning, all he did was use basic attacks, Death Coil, Corrosion Aura, and Summon Skeleton Guards. There must be a second phase to him.

Sure enough, seeing that he was about to lose his grip, Leisarit suddenly shook off Xiao Yu, rushed to a platform in the middle of the hall, and forcefully plunged the rune sword into a socket in the floor.

Leisarit (Death Knight): "Foolish invaders, this will be your burial ground! Now, face the power of the Undead Legion!"

With a few clicks as mechanisms were activated, eight hidden doors opened suddenly on the walls around the hall, from which hordes of skeleton Warrior poured out.

It flows endlessly, like a tidal wave.

"Holy crap, so many monsters!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

It's common for bosses to summon minions, but summoning so many at once is a bit scary. Although each skeleton only has a few hundred health points, there are hundreds of them. If they attack, it could be deadly.

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Hunter, quickly Misdirection the Water Elemental!"

She had already planned the tactics, so at her command, all eight hunters simultaneously applied Misdirection to Xiao Yu, and then used the Volley and Multishot skills to unleash a barrage of arrows in all directions.

The Misdirection skill can transfer the aggro generated over the next 10 seconds to other targets. All the skeletons hit by the arrow rain had their aggro focused on Xiao Yu, making him the focus of all the fire. Hundreds of skeletons rushed towards Xiao Yu.

"Perfect timing! "Xiao Yu thought to himself, calmly activating his ultimate move.

Flame Hurricane! Xiao Yu unleashed raging flames in all directions, instantly turning the skeletons with only a few hundred points of health into ashes. The fiery hurricane circled and circled, reducing all the approaching skeletons to Ashes. In just over ten seconds, hundreds of skeletons were completely wiped out.

Clearly, this was the Death Knight's trump card. The ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion; under focused fire, the Death Knight's health was quickly depleted, and finally, he fell to the ground in defeat.

Leisarit (Death Knight): "Finally—is it over? The long Curse has finally come to an end. My fate is no longer in darkness. Thank you, mage, for freeing my soul. Now, I can finally rest in peace."

After saying that, there was no further sound.

System notification: In the year 1375 of the Azure Era, the human hero Esmehalda Execute the Death Knight Leisarit and released his soul. This event has been recorded in the Firmament Chronicle. You have gained 129 reputation points.

It's a pity it's just a minor boss, Xiao Yu thought, but it doesn't matter, there will be a more powerful boss to fight soon.

However, before leaving, there was one more thing to do: loot the corpse.

The plan for distributing the loot had already been discussed. Everyone was allowed to take more than their share, including Xiao Yu and Esmehalda. However, the two of them had a priority to take all the loot, meaning that each of them could choose one item dropped by the BOSS.

Since he only had one right to request something, Xiao Yu naturally decided to put his request on the final boss, since this kind of Undead boss would definitely not drop what he wanted.

The Reins of the Deathcharger (Rare Mount), Runic Sword (Epic One-Handed Sword), Bone Hatred Armor (Excellent Plate Armor: Chestplate), Skeleton Knight's Crown (Excellent Plate Armor: Helmet), Sigil of the Dead's Summons (Excellent Trinket), Tome of Death (Excellent Off-Hand Item/Quest Item)...

They pulled out five or six items in a flash. This plot-driven kill naturally yielded extremely rich loot, immediately causing a stir among the team. In particular, the Reins of the Deathcharger and the Runic Sword, a rare mount and an epic weapon, were top-tier items that would fetch high prices at the auction house, sparking a fierce battle.

There is a great demand.

Esmehalda didn't care much. Although these things were nice, they weren't suitable for her. Soon, the items were all distributed. Those who got items were naturally excited, and those who didn't were also eager to try. There were still several bosses in this dungeon, and the drops from story kills were extremely rich. After this run, everyone would probably have at least one item to spare, so there was no need to worry about going home empty-handed.

With Unity Is Strength, the team headed towards the second floor.

Following the winding corridors of the mage tower upwards, you soon arrive at the second floor, which is shown on the map as the Alchemy Workshop.

After killing several wandering Undead minions along the way, we entered the BOSS room.

Upon entering, everyone was nearly overwhelmed by the stench. In the dimly lit laboratory, a gaunt, emaciated Undead man in a tattered lab coat appeared before them with his back to them. He was engrossed in handling a corpse. In front of him was a floor-to-ceiling window, and outside, the sky was already overcast. In the dim light, the Undead appeared sinister and terrifying. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the corpse began to struggle violently, letting out a bloodcurdling roar.

Alfred (the Great Warlock) shouted excitedly, "He's alive! He's alive!" (This scene can be referenced from the classic science fiction thriller film "Frankenstein").

The Undead man turned around abruptly and saw the group of people who had broken into the laboratory.

Alfred (the Great Warlock): "I have great news to share. I have just invented an extremely powerful Undead enhancement potion. Undead absorb this potion will receive a 100% attribute boost, and you are fortunate enough to participate in this great experiment. So, let's begin immediately."
