"No!! Don't kill me!!"

"What do you want? I can give you anything!"

"And after you kill me, it won't help you at all!"

Austin, covered in wounds, no longer had that arrogant look on his face. Instead, he looked terrified, his eyes wide open. He tilted his head toward George, begging constantly!

The reason he was tilting his head was because Constantine's huge fists kept pounding him to the ground, leaving him unable to move. He could only stay in a stiff and twisted position, looking at George with one eye that was barely open.

"Don't kill me!! I, I serve the Lord of the Black Dragon! The great Black Dragon Lord... The Lord of the Black Dragon has been blessed by the Demon King, and has reached SS tier. If you kill me, the Black Dragon Lord won't forgive you."

Austin gasped for breath, his voice shaking as he spoke.

"SS tier?"

George's eyes widened.

It was exactly as he had suspected. The final boss was way more powerful than he thought.

"Demon King?" George's eyes flickered.

Elise, standing next to him, swallowed hard. Her eyes showed some shock as she explained: "The Demon King is a title. To be called a King, you either come from a family with a Demon King over 100 levels, or you are a 100-level Demon King yourself. Only those can be called a King."

"What?" George was stunned.

A 100-level Demon King.

An Evil Demon King.

He hadn't expected the final boss of this dungeon to be connected to the top forces of the Abyss.

He frowned, rubbing his chin. "A 100-level Demon King... Hmm... SS-tier Black Dragon. If my level goes up again, to 30, I can unlock a 40-level boss familiar. And if I get to 40, I can unlock a 50-level boss familiar."

George took a deep breath.

"If I could bind that SS-tier Black Dragon as a familiar, it would be almost no threat in Aurion City."

The Demon King was obviously powerful.

And with the blessing of the Demon King, this SS-tier Black Dragon wasn't going to be weak at all.

It would be a terrifying presence across the entire Human Federation.

But George frowned slightly. "After killing the Infernal Lord, I don't know if the Black Dragon would still obey me."

"Is there a stronger boss familiar in this Underworld dungeon?"

Infernal Lord Austin was one of the four main bosses guarding the Underworld. He was a subordinate of the Black Dragon boss.

George had killed the Infernal Lord.

He didn't know if the Black Dragon would still follow him.

Also, being strong now didn't mean it had the same potential.

Like Constantine-once just a weak goblin, now he was strong enough to crush the Infernal Lord.

"Let's just take it step by step," George said, nodding. He turned his eyes back to Austin.

The Black Dragon's power was still too high. Right now, the known level was 45.

Bonding a Black Dragon was still too difficult.

Right now, the most important thing was to kill Austin.

George used Austin to make Constantine stronger.

"Hey, you finally scared? The SS-tier Lord of the Black Dragon is just a flame. It can turn you all to ash in an instant! As for the Demon King... hahaha..."

Even though he was full of wounds, seeing George stare blankly, Austin still curled his lips and sneered: "You know what the Demon King is? You know what the Lord of the Black Dragon is? You... you dare to challenge the Lord of the Black Dragon and the King? Do you really think the Lord of the Black Dragon, who's been sealed by the Underworld, can't escape from that prison?!"

Austin was completely panicked now. He shouted loudly, full of fear.

George raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Sealed? That's why."

"Great!"

He half-closed his eyes, a smile creeping on his lips: "If the strongest Black Dragon can't leave the Underworld, then the other three guardian bosses? Hmm, they can all be food."

George felt happy in his heart!

Austin was a boss of that level. Killing him would definitely drop a lot of rewards, and a huge amount of experience!

And there were more than one of those kinds of bosses in the College Entrance Exam dungeon. George already knew of three more guardian bosses!

If the Black Dragon couldn't leave the Underworld, George could continue to grow stronger until he was ready to fight the Black Dragon.

Either make it his pet, or kill it and use it as a stepping stone for his power!

"Good," George waved his hand. He was happy with the information he got from Austin.

But when he saw Constantine lifting his claw again, Austin was shocked. His face showed a deep fear: "No! Please! Don't kill me! I'll do anything! Don't kill me!!"

This time, Austin had no more arrogance. All he had was a desire to live.

But it was too late. The next second, Constantine's huge fist came down. Austin's head tilted back, and he lost all signs of life.

The status screen started scrolling again!

[Killed Flame-Winged Demon Austin Boss, Experience +100,000]

[Dropped: Infernal Lord's Heart *1, Infernal Lord's Blood *100, Raging Demon's Horn *1, Demon's Tail *1, Broken Demon Wings *4, a crystal glowing with red light *1, Infernal Lord's Eye *2, Infernal Lord's Claw *2, Infernal Lord's Skull *1...]

[Dropped: Equipment: Infernal Lord's Staff (Starlight Rank)]

[Dropped: Equipment: Infernal Lord's Wings (Diamond Tier)]

??

"Whoa!"

As soon as the status screen appeared, George's eyes widened. He instinctively took a deep breath: "What the hell? Two high-tier items dropped? And 100,000 experience?!"

This was too much!

The reward for killing the Infernal Lord Austin completely surprised George.

A beautiful staff floated in the air!

The staff glowed with a mix of red and gold, as if it was alive, shaking and causing all kinds of elements in the world to move.

At the very tip of the staff was a shining, colorful gem. Inside it, it looked like a small version of the Infernal Lord was flapping its wings.

"Awesome!"

"Starlight Rank gear! It was almost legendary! This is way more powerful than the Flame Staff!"

The two weapons in George's hands.

The Flame Staff was Silver Rank and only used for magic attacks.

The Demon Holy Sword, which had once been Starlight Rank, was now only Gold Rank in power.

But now? George had just gotten a real Starlight Rank staff!

He swallowed hard and immediately equipped the Infernal Lord's Staff. The detailed stats of the staff appeared before him.

[Infernal Lord's Staff: Starlight Rank, Intellect +1200, Magic Damage Increase +30%, Critical Damage +30%

A high-tier weapon from the Abyss, filled with the strength of the Infernal Lord. In special conditions, it has a chance to trigger the Infernal Lord's power, increasing fire magic damage by an extra 20%. This staff isn't just a weapon-it has a counter-effect against the Infernal Lord. In the Abyss, it's also a symbol of authority.

This weapon has the potential for Enchantment and stage upgrades. It might even become a true legendary weapon.]

"Whoa?!"

After looking at the stats of the Infernal Lord's Staff, George's mouth twitched. "This is insane!!"

This gear was seriously overpowered!

Intellect went up by 1,200 points!

Magic damage and critical damage both increased by 30%!

To be honest, this level of bonus was about what you'd expect from a weaker legendary gear. It was just a little better than a normal legendary item.

1,200 points of stat boost!

For George, at his current growth rate, it would take at least 600 levels to unlock that!

"Awesome!"

"And it gives extra fire damage, too! And it can be enchanted and upgraded to become a real legendary weapon!"

George tightened his grip on the Infernal Lord's Staff and couldn't stop smiling.

This was a huge gain!

Elise stood beside him, eyes wide. "This weapon is scary! I can feel the fire power inside it!"

Melina nodded. "Yeah, this must be an Abyss-exclusive weapon."

Constantine, on the other hand, swallowed hard. "Lord, when are you going to make me one too? My hammer is so rusty..."

He looked down at his iron hammer and gave George a bitter smile.
