They killed a few more monsters on the way.
Finally, George and the group reached the entrance of the Underworld.
You have arrived at the Underworld.
The prompt screen updated. George looked ahead and shivered.
The Underworld was even more huge than he had imagined!
After passing through a wasteland of burning flames, George saw a massive building in front of him. It was so tall and grand that it left George speechless.
This building was at least a hundred meters high. It had a medieval style.
The massive structure was only partially visible, and the most important part was a giant gate.
An ancient door, heavy and made of some strange metal. The edges were wrapped in gold and some unknown wood.
The hundred-meter-long gate stood in front of George. He couldn't even see the full picture of it.
You do not have access to the Underworld.
Kill 4 guardian bosses of the Underworld to unlock the gate and enter.
You are now at the North Gate.
Guardian Boss: Flame-Winged Demon Austin
The prompt screen updated again.
George frowned.
"Uh... to enter the Underworld, I need to kill 4 guardian bosses? And Infernal Lord Austin is just... the boss guarding the North Gate?"
After seeing the prompt, George finally figured out how the College Entrance Exam world was set up. It all made sense now.
The final boss of the College Entrance Exam world, the Underworld, had to be that terrifying dragon!
According to Constantine, it was level 45.
And Infernal Lord, the popular boss in the College Entrance Exam world, George had thought it had nothing to do with the dragon boss.
But now it turned out that Infernal Lord was just a gatekeeper! The one guarding the North Gate!
"Troll King, a 27-level boss, was just a subordinate of Infernal Lord! And that's just one of them."
"Infernal Lord is also the gatekeeper of the dragon boss?"
George's heart tightened. His expression turned serious. "How strong is the final boss really? Is it really just a 45-level dragon?"
George had thought a level 45 boss was already super strong.
But now, based on this logic, the final dragon boss was probably way higher than level 45.
What stage?
George was completely lost.
"Could it be SSS-tier? Are the exam creators crazy? Why is the College Entrance Exam so hard?"
George frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.
The students from all over the country had just changed classes and started their classes a few months ago.
But in the College Entrance Exam, there were high-level bosses everywhere.
Even a 27-level Troll King seemed impossible to George!
This was way beyond the curriculum.
Now, a 32-level Infernal Lord was just a gatekeeper.
You could imagine how crazy the final boss, that dragon, must be.
"How are we supposed to handle this? Are we all going to fail? Or is there some secret behind this?" George thought to himself, completely confused.
Constantine looked up. "Your Majesty, what's wrong? This is where Infernal Lord Austin is. I've been here before. I almost got killed by it! This time, I'm going to get my revenge!"
Melina nodded. "Yeah, I was once trapped on a cross by Austin."
Elise narrowed her eyes, looking serious. "That annoying Infernal Lord... if it wasn't for it, my level wouldn't be so low right now."
George came back to his senses and looked at his pets.
"Wow, it turns out all of you have some grudges with Infernal Lord Austin."
George felt a little amused and exasperated.
It was pretty convenient.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The College Entrance Exam world wasn't that big. These high-level bosses would definitely fight each other, so having some grudges was normal.
Boom!
A huge earthquake shook the ground. George suddenly frowned and looked up-the prompt screen refreshed!
You've awakened the Flame-Winged Demon Austin
A second later, a huge body appeared in front of George. It was burning with hot flames! The body was tall, at least three meters. It wasn't as thick as Constantine, but the demon aura it gave off from the inside made George feel a chill.
Its horns were sharp and long, like cow horns, growing on its head. They curved and glowed with a strange light, as if they held huge power inside.
Austin's chest was full of muscle, and golden lines ran all over its body. With every breath, it glowed with a golden-red light.
To be honest, Austin looked scary and powerful. It fit George's image of a demon perfectly.
Flame-Winged Demon Austin BOSS
Stage: SR tier
Level: 35
HP: 1,000,000
You've awakened a high-level boss of the Underworld. Austin is a Viscount of the Abyss. It has extremely strong Strength, almost no weaknesses. It can summon countless demons to fight with it. Strong Austin was noticed by higher-level demon nobles, so it was exiled to the Underworld world. Now it has submitted to the final dragon boss.
?
What the hell?
George looked at Austin's detailed stats and was completely stunned.
"Wait, it was 32 level, right? Why is it now 35?"
"Still a Viscount?!"
"1 million HP?!"
George was shocked. The information was wrong!
32 and 35 were only 3 levels apart.
But the problem was, Austin was an SR-tier boss!
Its stage was way above Constantine and Melina!
This kind of boss, every level up meant a huge difference in power!
Not only was George shocked, but all of his pets were also staring in disbelief.
Constantine frowned. "What? It was 32 level? Why did the stage go up? And I thought the old stage was A tier, wasn't it?!"
Melina also widened her eyes in shock. "1 million HP? Austin, when did you get this strong?!"
At the same time, Austin looked at George and the three bosses, and its expression changed. Its eyes showed a little confusion.
"Human? Why is there a human here? Hmm? No information at all. You're hiding your class and level?"
Austin's voice was deep and rough. When George heard it, his Intellect felt a little confused, as if he was being hypnotized by the demon.
The prompt screen updated, translating what Austin had said:
"You? Are you that small goblin who ran away from me before? The food that escaped from my hands?" Austin frowned, and its four wings flapped wildly behind it. Its face showed a bit of disbelief. "Why did you become S tier? No! This is a demon's aura! You evolved? You've mastered the power of your talent!!"
Austin was shocked.
Talent is something rare, even in the human world. For bosses, it's even rarer to have it!
George's goblin king had completely shocked Austin.
"Sky Knight? That cursed one! How did you break free? I planned to use you as a sacrifice for the Lord of the Black Dragon. Now... you can become a demon and follow the Lord of the Black Dragon with me."
"Elise, why did you break through too?!"
Austin's eyes swept over the three bosses, and its expression grew even more shocked!
From the Goblin King to Elise, they all looked like they had been reborn, completely changed!
"Did you do this?!"
Austin opened its eyes wide, as if it was trying to look through George: "You... made a contract with them? And raised their stage and bloodline? What kind of monster are you?!"
Austin suddenly took a deep breath. Its golden eyes trembled slightly with a hint of fear.
It clearly saw the connection between George and the three bosses. George... his power was as weak as an ant.
But this tiny human had made a contract with three high-level bosses, and they had all been reborn!
That was too strange!
Even the powerful Infernal Lord Austin was completely confused.
"This strange power! Huh!"
Austin suddenly narrowed its eyes and smiled in a playful way: "If I and the Lord of the Black Dragon get this... then not only the dragons, but also the Abyss... we can all take a share too!!"
It grinned with a dark smile, and the flames on its body grew even stronger. The sky itself seemed to catch fire.
It raised its head, and its voice was full of temptation. It was a real demon's whisper:
"You all are great prey. You're waiting to be Abyss-ified by the Lord of the Black Dragon! Especially you, small human... become the slave of the Lord of the Black Dragon!"
