"What's the Promotion Quest?" George asked, curious.

Lily frowned and said, "George, the Promotion Quest is to kill a 50-level boss."

Her quest was too hard. If she did it alone, she wouldn't be able to finish it.

George knew what she was thinking. He said, "Don't worry, I'll help you."

The mist around them faded. The Underworld gate opened. There were also a few corpses nearby.

They were students who had entered the mist. They didn't have time to run. They were killed by the Night Elf in an instant.

"Let's go. We'll enter the Underworld," George said. There must be a 50-level boss inside the Underworld.

He decided to kill the black dragon Asos first, then make a pact with the Blazing Angel.

Constantine held his War Hammer and went in first.

[You have entered the Underworld. The Black Dragon Asos has awakened.]

A message appeared. It seemed the dragon had been sleeping all along. The Underworld only woke it up when it opened.

George looked around. It looked more like a maze than a city. Several paths crossed, and they all led somewhere.

George picked one at random.

"Master, be careful. There are a lot of strong monsters here," Elise said, watching carefully and warning him.

Suddenly, there was a loud flapping of wings. A big shadow flew toward them. It was a group of giant bats.

[Underworld The Shadowborn, 45-level monster, HP 40,000]

George saw the monster's stats. Before he could say anything, a bright light came down, hitting the bat group.

Boom!

The light exploded. The bat group was destroyed. Dozens of The Shadowborn were killed instantly.

[Killed The Shadowborn, Experience +2250, Points +20]

[Dropped Materials: Bat Wing 5, Bat Fang 2, Bat Poop 2]

...

The message kept coming.

George frowned. Bat poop? What was that for?

[Bat Poop: B Tier material, can be used for alchemy or as fertilizer]

Alchemy?

George looked disgusted. He wouldn't dare to use any potion made from that. He hesitated, then still put it in his bag.

B Tier material, but it would still sell for a good price.

"Squeak... squeak..."

A loud, annoying sound echoed. George felt a sharp pain in his mind.

A soul attack!

That was the way The Shadowborn attacked. It was a soul attack. But he had used a lot of Soul Crystals. His soul strength had improved a lot.

Constantine and the others were strong. They weren't scared of this kind of attack. But Lily was not strong enough.

In an instant, her face turned confused. Blood came from her nose.

"Sacred Luminary Ward!" Eliex said. A wall of light appeared, surrounding Lily. The strange sound attack was blocked.

Lily finally woke up. Her ears still rang.

She looked scared and said, "What was that attack? It was so scary. I felt like my soul almost got torn apart."

The Shadowborn were too strange. Their soul attacks made people dizzy. They couldn't even activate their realm pass.

If other students met The Shadowborn, they might have a lot of deaths.

"End this quickly," George said coldly.

"Yes," the others said. They acted fast.

A bunch of strong magic attacks flew. Elise and Eliex attacked without hesitation. The Shadowborn were strong, but under their powerful attacks, they all fell from the sky.

[Killed The Shadowborn, Experience +2250, Points +20]

...

The messages kept coming. George and Lily's points started to rise fast.

Soon, all the The Shadowborn were wiped out. The area was covered in corpses. But there was no sign of the The Shadowborn boss.

"Let's go. Keep moving," George said. He quickly cleaned up the battlefield and headed deeper into the Underworld.

Shuffle, shuffle...

They hadn't gone far when a rustling sound came from the narrow passage. Black monsters were crawling along the walls.

"It's snakes," Lily said, her body trembling. She looked scared and quickly hid behind George.

[The Veilweaver, 45-level monster, HP 50,000]

George saw the monster's stats. They were still 45-level, but stronger than The Shadowborn.

"Master, there's a 50-level The Veilweaver boss," Elise noticed a huge, black serpent in the group. It was the boss. Its stage was barely S Tier, but it fit Lily's Promotion Quest.

George quickly said, "Hit it hard."

"Lord, I'll take it!" Melina swung her spear and rushed into the snake group.

The Veilweaver hissed, its sharp fangs showing, and spit out poison.

Melina didn't care. She dodged the poison easily and swung her spear. Dozens of snakes were cut in half, writhing in pain on the ground.

[Killed The Veilweaver, Experience +2250, Points +20]

[Dropped Materials: Dark Snake Scale 11, Mortal Snake Meat 3, Mortal Snake Fang 5, Mortal Snake Venom 2]

...

Where Melina went, there were piles of dead snakes and lots of drops. But the stage wasn't high. George just picked up a few B Tier materials.

The hissing kept coming. More The Veilweaver kept crawling out. There were even more than The Shadowborn.

Constantine and Eliex joined in without hesitation.

Even the Golden Flame Dragon came out from George's chest. Even in spirit form, it was enough to deal with these snakes.

Plus, the Golden Flame Dragon was a dragon. Its blood had a strong effect on snake monsters.

After just an hour, the passage was empty of The Veilweaver. No more snakes came. Only the 50-level The Veilweaver boss remained. Its scales were broken, its fangs were broken, and it was lying on the ground, glaring weakly at Melina.

"Little girl, you take this one," Melina called to Lily.

"O-okay."

Lily swallowed hard. Her voice was a little shaky. She had always been afraid of snakes. Even though the snake was almost dead, it still made her feel scared.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Melina saw her fear and comforted her.

"Thank you," Lily smiled at her, feeling a bit more safe. She took a few steps forward, raised her staff, and attacked the The Veilweaver.

Dragon Flame roared. It did over 2,000 damage to the 50-level boss.

Lily's Dragonkin Priestess class had a natural advantage over snake monsters.

In just a short time, the almost-dead The Veilweaver was killed.

[Killed The Veilweaver Boss, Experience +25,000, Points +100]

George got the message.

At that moment, Lily was surrounded by golden light. A strong strength wave came out. She had completed the Promotion Quest by killing The Veilweaver.

And this time, the reaction was even bigger than last time.

"This little girl's dragon blood must be waking up," the Golden Flame Dragon said, sitting on George's shoulder, surprised.

"Anyway, I woke up so fast, it was also thanks to her. I'll help her a bit."

The Golden Flame Dragon said that, then flew to Lily's side.

George looked at it, confused, but didn't stop it.

The Golden Flame Dragon opened its mouth and shot a yellow ball of light toward Lily.

Dragon's Core Spirit!

That was the purest power of the Dragon's Core Spirit.

The ball flew toward Lily and was absorbed by her. The energy around her suddenly grew stronger.

With the help of the Golden Flame Dragon, the dragon blood inside her slowly woke up.

But the powerful Strength from the Promotion Quest wasn't all absorbed by Lily.

The Golden Flame Dragon landed nearby and also absorbed the leftover Strength under the golden light.

George and the others stood quietly nearby, keeping watch for them.

This time, it took a full half-hour before Lily finally completed her Promotion.

"George, my class stage has risen to SSS tier. The Seraph of the Dragon."

Lily looked at George and said happily. She knew that her class had gone up again because of George and the Golden Flame Dragon.

"SSS tier?" George was shocked. He couldn't believe it.

In the class stage system, reaching SSR tier was already rare. An SSS tier class was even rarer. In thousands of years, there were only a dozen people with SSS tier classes. In the Human Federation, the three living SSS tier class users were like War Gods.

That meant, as long as Lily didn't have an accident, she could definitely become a War God.

"Congratulations," George said, a little jealous. His own Keeper class was only at B tier, but his growth potential wasn't any less than SSS tier classes.

"Thanks to you, George," Lily said gratefully. She didn't know how to repay George's help. Maybe she could just give herself to him...

She hesitated, then said, "Um, George, my points have reached over 17,000. I won't be going with you anymore."

Lily was a little sad, but she knew that being with George was just a burden for him.

"Are you leaving the realm?" George said, not saying much. "With so many points, you can definitely get into the best academy."

Lily had now reached level 40. She wouldn't be able to promote again for a while.

Plus, over 10,000 points was something only a few people could reach.

"George, I'll find you when the exam is over," Lily said. She took out her Realm Pass and waved goodbye.

The pass glowed, but she didn't leave.

"Huh? This space is blocked," Lily frowned and moved closer to George.

"Who's hiding around? Show yourself!" Eliex shouted. A strong light flowed out and formed into a glowing sword. He slashed into the air.

Boom!

A loud explosion. A big black shadow suddenly appeared in the air. It was a black dragon.

The Black Dragon Asos!

George realized it wasn't the real dragon. It was just a shadow clone.

"Roar!" The Golden Flame Dragon roared, staring at the shadow in the air. Its eyes burned with fire.
