Hehehe, you're dumbfounded now, aren't you?

The Bone Giant carried a giant axe roughly the same height as itself, walking with heavy footsteps toward Lin Yuan.

"Hehehehe!"

Ghost raised his ghastly white hand and pointed it toward the Bone Giant.

"Undead Army, attack!"

In an instant, the two-thousand-strong Undead Army surged toward the Bone Giant.

Lin Yuan watched this scene, deep in thought.

What the hell, have the roles been reversed?

He sat calmly behind the Undead Army as if he were the final boss, while the Bone Giant was the lone hero coming to challenge the boss.

Facing the onslaught of thousands of undead creatures, the hero Bone Giant's brain glitched for two or three seconds.

What's going on? Have I become the defending side?

There was no time to think; the undead creatures had already reached its feet.

However, most of these undead creatures were merely common-grade lifeforms; they couldn't even break through the Bone Giant's defense, let alone slow its pace.

As soon as the undead creatures approached the Bone Giant, they triggered the judgment of its third skill, Intimidation.

Eighty percent of the undead creatures were intimidated and paralyzed on the spot.

Those not intimidated were smashed into pieces by a single swing of the Bone Giant's axe. Ghost's pride and joy, the Undead Army, was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"Hehehe..." Ghost, who had been feeling so smug, suddenly stopped laughing.

He glanced at his paralyzed subordinates, then at the Bone Giant, which was moving as if no one were there.

Ghost scurried behind A Li in a few steps, calling for his big brother's help. "Gaga!"

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched at the sight.

"Ghost, you're too pathetic. Go up there and fight him in melee; you won't die anyway."

With the "One for All" talent, as long as Ghost's summoned army existed, he was immortal.

Those undead were just paralyzed, not dead, so "One for All" could still be triggered.

A Li put down his violin, picked up his refined iron sword, and walked toward the Bone Giant.

Frenzied Charge!

Charged Drawing Slash!

Double Strike, Normal Attack, Normal Attack.

- 37432 (Critical Hit) - 18743 - 8763 - 15643 - 1532 - 1523

The Bone Giant took A Li's small combo head-on, with about half of its health remaining.

"Didn't one-shot it?" Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had seen a monster survive a full combo from A Li.

Fortunately, no one else heard him; otherwise, they would definitely accuse Lin Yuan of being a humblebragger.

Damn, one combo took away half the boss's health, and he's still not satisfied.

You have to know that the Bone Giant had a defense of 3000, and its first skill could reduce attack damage by 50% three times. Be satisfied.

After A Li finished his round of skills, the Bone Giant's skill landed on A Li. - 3760

A Li immediately raised his hand and unleashed a Death Sentence Sword Qi. - 18000 + 3760

While taking away one-tenth of the Bone Giant's health, his own health instantly recovered to full.

8 seconds later, when A Li unleashed another Double Strike, the Bone Giant's bones shattered into pieces with a loud crash.

【Killed Bone Giant (LV16), EXP increased by 5000】

【Double Strike has met the promotion conditions, promoted to Triple Slash】

【Triple Slash】 (B) Skill Description: Consumes 300 Mana, quickly delivers three attacks, each dealing 150% attack damage, (Cooldown: 8 seconds).

Once the Bone Giant died, Ghost frantically waved his flag and cheered from behind. "Gaga!"

The two of them seemed to have formed a "Gaga-Slaughter" combo: A Li was responsible for the slaughter in the front, and Ghost was responsible for the "Gaga" in the back.

"Look at A Li, then look at yourself. This is the gap," Lin Yuan said to Ghost, feeling frustrated by his lack of improvement.

Ghost scratched his head. "Hehehehe!" Fine, it was a waste of breath.

The Bone Giant dropped two pieces of equipment, one Platinum and one Gold.

【Bone Pendant - Necklace】 【Grade: Platinum】 【Equip Requirement: Level 12】 【Stats: Intelligence +20, Stamina +20, Mana +200】 【Trait: Recovers 10 Mana per second】 【Set Bonus (1/2): Inactive】

【Bone Greatsword - Weapon】 【Grade: Gold】 【Equip Requirement: Level 10】 【Stats: Strength +25, Attack +120】 【Trait: Attacks have a chance to cause a Bleed effect on the target, dealing 50 Bleed damage per second for 10 seconds】

A Platinum necklace, and a set piece at that; selling it would fetch at least two million. The Gold greatsword also had great stats and could be considered a small top-tier item.

It was perfect for replacing the refined iron sword in A Li's hand.

The Bone Greatsword was about 1.6 meters long and quite heavy, but in A Li's hands, it was like a toy, handled with ease.

A Li seemed to have a soft spot for heavy swords; after getting the Bone Greatsword, he kept swinging it around.

Seeing A Li upgrade his weapon, Ghost watched Lin Yuan pitifully from the side.

"You want one too?"

Ghost bobbed his skull up and down.

"Wait until you can solo a boss before you ask."

After cleaning up the battlefield, a notification appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

【Your strength has been recognized by Skeleton Knight Mosa. He is considering sparing your life.】

【Yes/No: Choose to leave the current Dungeon】

Nightmare difficulty Dungeons weren't without an exit option; as long as you could survive for 30 minutes or complete a certain stage, you could exit midway.

Of course, after exiting midway, the next time you entered, you would have to start over from the beginning.

Facing the prompt, Lin Yuan decisively chose No.

"Spare my life?"

"But I don't want to spare yours."

After refusing to leave the Dungeon, the surrounding undead aura grew even more intense.

【Skeleton Knight Mosa will dispatch his elite cavalry. Please prepare for battle.】

...

Meanwhile, the five-person squad from the Sword of Dawn, who had entered the Dungeon before Lin Yuan, appeared at the entrance of the Skeleton Graveyard.

The five members looked slightly disheveled, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

The team's healer, Li Fei, frowned. "The undead creatures' attack power is too high. The pressure on my healing is too great."

"We were almost wiped out by the Bone Giant. Challenging the Skeleton Knight at this stage is simply impossible."

The captain, Xiao Bin, looked at the other members. "We still underestimated the terrifying level of the Nightmare difficulty."

"Five S-rank talent Professionals, full Gold equipment, one A-rank skill each."

"This already crushes 95% of Professionals at the same level."

"If even we can't clear the Nightmare difficulty of the Skeleton Graveyard, no other squad should be able to clear it."

Looking at the other Professionals around and then at his dejected teammates, Xiao Bin perked up.

"This month, we wasted quite a bit of time trying to clear the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard."

"It's time to level up."

"Don't forget, only by reaching level 20 and completing the Class Transfer Mission can one truly be considered to have stepped over the threshold of Professionals."
