"Your Majesty, is this guy dead?" Constantine took two steps forward with caution, looking closely and sensing no breath from the man.

Ding ding...

The sound of armor clashing echoed, and the man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold, surrounded by dark power.

"Anyone who enters the Death Cave dies!" He shouted, and a flash of cold light appeared as he swung his sword hard at Constantine.

"God damn it! You scared me!"

Constantine jumped back quickly, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Roar!"

A Golden Flame Dragon flew out, surrounded by golden light, and a stream of dragon fire burst from its mouth.

It had just fought against the Screaming Banshee. The song had messed with it, and it was already frustrated. Now, facing this guy, it wanted to let out some steam.

George also saw the monster's stats.

[Death Warlord Russell, Boss

Stage: SS Tier

Level: 35

HP: 3.5 million]

[Undead Warlord · Russell, once a loyal assistant of General Jason from the Skyforge Empire. He followed Jason into the Death Graveyard to fight the demon race, got trapped, and was corrupted by the Death Strength, becoming a monster between life and death. Now he guards the second level of the Death Graveyard for the demon race...]

Like the Screaming Banshee, this guy was also a 35-level boss, and maybe even stronger than the Banshee.

But unlike the Banshee, this one had no strange song attacks. The Golden Flame Dragon had no trouble facing him at all.

"Golden Flame Dragon, don't take this guy from me!"

Constantine wasn't happy seeing the Golden Flame Dragon easily beating the Undead Warlord. He yelled and swung his war hammer, rushing in for the fight.

Against the attacks of two SSR-tier bosses at level 40, the Death Warlord couldn't fight back. He flew around like a sandbag, getting hit over and over.

"It looks like this little guy was really tortured by the Screaming Banshee," Elise said, watching the Golden Flame Dragon rage.

"This Death Warlord is just unlucky," Melina nodded in agreement.

The two women didn't join in. They stood by George, watching carefully in case the Death Warlord had some hidden tricks that could hurt George.

But their worries were unnecessary.

Under the wild attacks of Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon, the Death Warlord's HP was quickly emptied.

Boom!

A loud boom echoed as the Death Warlord fell heavily to the ground, his HP at zero.

"This guy is way too weak," Constantine said, waving his War Hammer with satisfaction.

"No, wait!" George frowned and quickly warned, "Be careful—he's not dead yet."

He didn't get any message.

Crack crack...

Sure enough, the sound of armor clashing rang out again, and the Death Warlord got back up, his HP full again, his wounds completely healed, and his strength back to full.

"Anyone who enters the Death Cave dies!" He roared, swinging his sword and attacking Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon again.

"What? He's alive again?"

Constantine was surprised, but he still wasn't scared. He swung his War Hammer and charged in again.

Boom!

Another loud boom as the Death Warlord was sent flying backward, still as weak as before.

"Roar!"

The Golden Flame Dragon roared, its thin tail swinging, and easily sent the Death Warlord flying again.

The guy was still being beaten up easily.

The sound of explosions kept going as the Death Warlord flew back and forth between the two bosses, looking completely helpless.

Soon, his HP was at zero again.

Still, no death message.

"Still not dead? Is the Death Warlord unkillable?" George frowned, looking confused.

"Your Majesty, shall I try?" Melina felt eager.

George was safe with Elise by his side.

He nodded, "Go ahead. This guy must have a weakness. Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon only use brute force. They probably can't find it."

"Yes!" Melina's eyes lit up. She called out her spear and charged in.

Melina was also level 40. Though she was only SS tier, she was still a match for the Death Warlord.

He was already struggling against Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon. With Melina in the fight, it was even harder for him to stand up.

Soon, his HP was gone again.

This time, George got a message.

It was really a set!

George looked at the stats of the few pieces of gear in his hand and was thrilled.

Especially the set effect—boosting four main stats, defense, HP, and even giving two chances to come back after being killed. You had to be killed three times in a short time to actually die.

That's why the Undead Warlord could revive—it was the effect of the set.

The only pity was that the gear was broken, so the set effect couldn't be used.

"I wonder if Eliex can fix these?" George muttered to himself. He remembered that Eliex was also a blacksmith, though he didn't know his exact level.

He could craft Legendary gear, so his level must be pretty high. Fixing these few pieces of gear would be no problem.

George picked up all the materials, gear, and the corpse of the Death Warlord.

There was no soul appearing this time, which meant his soul had been completely devoured and controlled. Now that he was dead, his soul had completely disappeared.

George didn't care about that. With the Death Warlord dead, the entrance to the third level of the cave appeared.

The boss in the third level was probably the Immortal King Jason—a 40-level SS-tier boss, definitely not someone to be taken lightly.

"Your Majesty, I'll go in first," Constantine took the lead and stepped into the third-level entrance.

George and the others followed closely behind.

Roar! Roar!

A series of loud roars echoed. The third level was different from the first two. There were a lot of 35-level undead soldiers here, even stronger than those outside.

"Roar!"

The Golden Flame Dragon roared, sweeping its tail and diving into the undead soldiers.

"Master, this place seems even larger than the first two levels combined," Elise stayed by George's side, watching carefully and speaking with concern.

George nodded, watching Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon slaughtering the enemies without stopping them.

Only by making a big commotion could they possibly draw the attention of the boss, the Immortal King.

[Killed Undead Soldier, Experience +3,500]

[Killed Undead Soldier, Experience +3,500]

...

[Dropped: Bone Dust*4, Broken Bones*13, Broken Armor*16...]

The messages kept coming. Elise and Melina also joined in, quickly defeating the attacking undead soldiers.

A large number of soldiers died, but the numbers didn't decrease. The undead soldiers here seemed to be even more than those outside.

"Your Majesty, something's wrong. It feels like someone is summoning undead soldiers nonstop," Melina flew up and noticed something strange. Not far away, more and more undead soldiers were pouring out of the ground, attacking them continuously.

"You're the vanguard. Go check it out," George also noticed. He opened his Demon Wings and, with Elise and Melina protecting him, rushed toward the core of the third level quickly.

Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon followed right behind.

Soon, they reached the core of the third level.

On a large stone platform stood a man in a gray robe, holding a wooden staff. He was summoning undead soldiers from the ground around him, sending them rushing toward George and his team.

[Immortal King Jason, Boss]

[Stage: SS Tier

Level: 40

HP: 4 million]

[Immortal King Jason, a General and Marquis of the Skyforge Empire. He led his army into the Death Graveyard to eliminate the demon race, but was betrayed by his own men. He fell into a demon trap and was surrounded. His entire army of hundreds of thousands was destroyed, and he himself was trapped in the Death Graveyard. Under the dark power of the graveyard, Jason was filled with hatred and became the Immortal King. He was now controlled by the demon Count, the Dark Knight Aaron, guarding the entrance to the fourth level of the graveyard...]

"Immortal King Jason is actually a mage!" George looked at the robed man on the platform, surprised.

Usually, a general in an empire would be a warrior or knight, not a mage. But now, this Jason had become a powerful undead mage.

"Anyone who enters the Death Graveyard dies!" Jason noticed George and his group. He let out a hoarse scream, waving his wooden staff. A group of wailing spirits formed, rushing toward them.

"Roar!"

The Golden Flame Dragon sneered. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of golden-red dragon fire. The spirits were instantly destroyed, dissolving in the fire and screaming into nothingness.

Dragon fire was pure and holy, the perfect enemy of these spirits.
