Slam! Slam! Slam!
The moment he stepped in, countless voices sounded.
Five meters above, dozens of torches burned fiercely.
With the help of the dark green light, Lorne saw the true appearance of the fire sources. They were the heads of ferocious beasts.
At the same time, the flames lit up the entire hall.
There were no other monsters here, only a coffin in the center of the hall. It was suspended in midair by four thick chains. There was a scarlet magic circle under it, and the patterns on it were like blood. At this moment, they were emitting red blood energy that gathered towards the coffin above.
Such a strange scene was obviously not normal.
Lorne moved a little closer, Rimuru beside him, ready to defend him against any potential danger.
Two archers stood on each side, their bows in their hands as they guarded the surroundings.
When everyone was close enough,
suddenly!
"Phew—"
A strange wind swept through the entire hall.
Then, they gathered at the bottom of the coffin, forming a strange tornado.
It gathered the scarlet blood energy and even the red runes on the ground, finally infusing them into the coffin in midair.
Then…
Everything went calm.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Thinking that he had to get close enough to trigger the subsequent scene, Lorne walked over.
But at that moment,
A scythe made entirely of white bones descended from the sky.
Clang!
The bone scythe landed on the path Lorne took, the blade stabbing into the hard ground.
Then, black fog enveloped the surroundings, and a pair of scarlet eyes floated in midair.
The white bone scythe on the ground trembled and flew into the sky.
A dark, withered hand seized the scythe.
Lorne could not help but take a few steps back. Following his pupils, he could see a huge figure. It was a black-robed undead mage.

[Undead Mage - Soul]
Grade: Boss
Level: 10
HP: 67,500 / 67,500
Magic Attack: 320-450
Physical Defense: 120
Magic Defense: 120
Skills: [Death Confinement], [Undead Summoning], [Undead Blessing], [Undead Absorption], [Death Scythe]
Introduction: Once a powerful Mage of the Empire, he died unfortunately in the war. Later, his soul was awakened by the power of darkness and became a puppet that only knew how to kill. Anyone who came close to its territory would be torn to pieces.
————
From the interface, although this was also an ordinary Level 10 Boss, its attributes were anything but normal.
An attack limit of 450 points was stronger than any enemy that Lorne had encountered so far.
However, it could not escape the fate of being killed.
Lorne was not about to let it go.
"Rimuru, draw the aggro of the Boss!"
"Small Artillery, Rapid Fire!"
Lorne quickly gave the order, then hid far away, using his authority to control the Fire of Death to activate the skill.
The bow was drawn like a full moon.
In an instant, five flaming arrows burst from its hands.
-319
-315
-297
-301
-299
The undead mage's defense was not high, so Lorne dealt a considerable amount of damage with one skill.
At this moment, Source of Poison also drew its bow and fired countless arrows.
However, it was only Level 1 and could only deal about a third of the damage of Small Artillery.
On the other hand, Little Mantis's damage output was on par with Little Artillery in close combat.
However, unfortunately, it needed to dodge the Boss' counterattack, so it could not deal as much damage.
As for Rimuru, who was responsible for absorbing damage, damage output was not its strength. The 200-300 damage output could basically be ignored.

Even so, in just a few seconds, the four pets dealt nearly 4,000 damage. To the current players, this was simply unimaginable damage.
"Come out, undead wandering in the world!"
Seeing that its health had decreased by a large amount, the Boss Undead Mage clenched its dry fingers.
The next moment, countless mounds appeared.
Then, undead creatures broke out of the ground.
It was a group of Skeletal Warriors.
Their entire bodies were rotting. With their blades and shields in hand, they charged at Lorne.
"Rain of Arrows!"
Lorne did not dare to be careless. He quickly commanded the two undead archers to use their AOE skills, and countless arrows covered the ground.
In an instant, red skill damage, purple magic damage, and white true damage floated in the air. There were more than a hundred of them.
Those skeleton monsters were only creatures that had been summoned. Their health points were not high. After taking two waves of rain of arrows, their health points had already decreased by half.
"Little Mantis, clean up the remaining monsters!"
Lorne did not let the monsters affect his damage output. He commanded the mantis to clear the monsters.
Then, he moved quickly and controlled Small Artillery to focus on dealing damage.
Arrows burning with flames bombarded the undead mage non-stop. The upper limit of 455 Attack Points was vividly displayed at this moment, and a magnificent damage output feast was played under Lorne's command.
Facing such constant attacks, the Boss' figure trembled repeatedly.
Its health decreased by 10,000 points in the blink of an eye.
But at that moment,
The undead mage waved its hand and roared, "Lowly undead, offer up your souls!"
As soon as it finished speaking, balls of light emerged from the summoned monsters and poured into the undead mage.
Almost in the next second, its health points returned to full.
This effect came from one of his skills.
————
[Undead Absorption]: The undead mage will recall the souls summoned to heal itself. Each undead can heal 200 HP.
————
This self-healing boss was the most troublesome opponent.
Fortunately, Lorne's pets had enough damage output to deal with the current situation.
As for earlier?
It was only because Lorne wanted to farm the monsters later that the Boss had the opportunity.
However, as long as he arranged for them to clear the monsters, the situation would be much simpler.
With a plan in mind, Lorne was more confident.
When the undead mage's health decreased by about 5,000 points again, it began another round of summoning.
"Come out, undead wandering in the world!"
Another dozens of mounds appeared, and dozens of monsters walked out.
This time, Lorne did not let them wander. Instead, he turned the arrow and quickly cleaned up the monsters that wandered on the ground.
-437
-433
-441
-425
-870! (Critical)
...
Under the high attack speed and AOE skills, the monsters were quickly wiped out.
Without the small monsters to heal it, this Boss was basically helpless.
Because of the "Summoning" skill, it had very few active offensive skills. It was impossible to turn the situation around with just Undead Confinement.
Instead, Lorne's damage output was very obvious.
In the midst of the extremely fast shooting, the flaming arrows were like cannonballs that bombarded the Boss crazily, quickly reducing its health.
