Behind Luke was a gate with a fence. Looking through the fence, a person holding a staff sat alone on a throne.
It looks like this is the final boss, Aru.
After checking the information, it was indeed the case.
However, only the name is visible; everything else is just question marks.
It seems this boss is also level 16 or higher.
After resting for a while and seeing his stamina increase, Liu Nian opened the gate next to him.
Upon entering the room, it was discovered that the upper level was divided into three separate small platforms, with a complete room located below the platforms.
Arudi and his throne were on one platform, there was another small platform on the far right of the room that could only accommodate a few people, and finally, there was the platform that Liu Nian opened the door to enter.
Before the boss fight, Liu Nian needs to go down the stairs next to the entrance and then go up the stairs in the room below to meet Arudi.
From the angle outside the door, Aru's low-slung throne does not reveal the passageway beneath, giving the illusion that it is a complete platform.
The skeletons still led the charge to engage the enemy. When Aru noticed the skeletons in front of him, he didn't waste any words and immediately began to cast spells.
After a three-second casting time, several dark, condensed energy clouds attacked the summoned creature in front of them.
The summoned creature in front of Liu Nian suffered a blow, losing half of its health.
Liu Nian steadied himself and counted the summoned creatures that had been hit. A total of five summoned creatures were hit by the energy ball.
The boss appeared right at the start with an area-of-effect spell, and Liu Nian watched it warily.
Aru's first skill can hit five nearby targets, and Liu Nian memorized it.
Only after Arudi finished casting his spell did Liu Nian peek out from his blind spot.
At this moment, all the summoned creatures successfully surrounded Arudi, while only the Demon Child stood guard on either side of Tiffany and Liu Nian.
Watching Arudi hitting people with his staff, Liu Nian felt a chill run down his spine.
Melee mage, right? Or is it the cooldown of skill casting?
Despite having many questions in mind, his hands kept moving, and the fear magic was unleashed.
The word "immunity" appeared above Aru's head.
Just as I expected!
Although it was a bit of a waste of time, Liu Nian still had a sliver of hope.
What if I win?
The small flame was mercilessly extinguished, and the boss was unaffected by the control magic.
Reality is cruel. After adjusting her mindset, Liu Nian began to use the intensifying damage technique.
When Aru's spellcasting interval was up, he began casting Shadow Arrow Rain again.
Fortunately, the surrounding summoned creatures kept interfering with his spellcasting.
However, as a boss, he endured the harassment and still managed to unleash his magic.
Five more summoned creatures collapsed in front of Liu Nian in an instant.
Before Liu Nian could react, Aru let out a low groan, then disappeared from in front of the summoned creatures and was teleported to the platform on the far right.
Upon seeing this, the summoned creatures dashed off to chase after Arudi, while he began casting spells while facing Liu Nian.
Liu Nian saw him muttering something to himself, so she quickly ran behind the throne and hid in his blind spot.
He then began chanting a summoning spell to replenish the number of summoned creatures.
Unexpectedly, just as the spell was halfway through, Aru suddenly took a few steps forward and pointed at Liu Nian, and a shadow arrow shot towards Liu Nian's direction.
Teleportation casting? He can actually teleport?!
As the shadow arrow drew ever closer, Liu Nian, seeing that his bone armor was still intact, decided to take the spell head-on, while continuing to chant the unfinished summoning spell.
The Shadow Arrow struck Liu Nian directly, and a wave of negative emotions surged into his mind, causing his chanting to pause momentarily.
Fortunately, his mental strength was high, and with the blessing of the Judgment, he managed to complete the summoning spell.
The bone armor, struck by the Shadow Arrow, looked like it was about to crumble, but the attack did not harm Liu Nian.
Aru, who hadn't expected this outcome, flashed back to the platform next to Liu Nian.
Liu Nian watched as he returned to his previous position, then pointed at the corpse on the ground and injected magic power into it.
An eye for an eye!
Having taken a Shadow Bolt, I'll naturally return the favor with a Corpse Explosion.
The corpses around Aruti exploded instantly, flames engulfing his entire body and adding several more layers of corpse poison to his body.
Seeing the once impeccably dressed Grand Mage now looking disheveled, Liu Nian felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
What goes around comes around!
After several back-and-forth exchanges, Liu Nian discovered that Aru only had three spells: Shadow Arrow Rain, Shadow Arrow, and Teleport. The rest of the time, he would wield his staff as a battle mage.
Moreover, teleportation magic always returns to the original location, which allowed Liu Nian to plan to have his summoned creatures killed by Aru on the platform as much as possible.
I used the Corpse Explosion skill to finish off his health.
With Tiffany's occasional poison magic, the situation suddenly turned in Liu Nian's favor.
As expected, melee mages are no match for dogs. Surrounded by a horde of summoned creatures, Arudi was ultimately overwhelmed by the waves of the undead sea.
Crowns were a must, and in large bags at that! Liu Nian happily accepted them.
[Summon Dark Templar (Tier 3 Summoning Skill Book)] (Limited to Necromancers and Demon Wizards)
Summon a Dark Templar to fight for you!
After many years, a usable skill book has finally been discovered again. It's not easy!
I decided to learn it without hesitation.
Damn it, the evil system is alerting me again that it's being interfered with by an unknown force.
It seemed that he had no choice but to go out and learn. Liu Nian reluctantly stuffed the skill book into his saddlebag.
The last card is an equipment card.
[Black Magic Sword (One-Handed Sword)] (Green)
Attack power 6-12
Effect: Attacking a target unit has a chance to unleash a Shadow Bolt (lv2), dealing 30 Shadow damage to the target. This damage cannot be amplified.
Although the effect is good and it can be considered a decent one-handed weapon, Liu Nian is now a mage with profound magic power, so close combat is impossible for him. It's good as a decoration.
The Black Magic Sword, as its name suggests, is black from top to bottom, except for a ruby inlaid on the hilt.
I glanced at the task panel; the task was now complete.
The mission was completely inexplicable, with no explanation other than the presence of a strange person.
After making another round to make sure nothing was missed, Liu Nian walked to the throne.
At the edge of the throne, an orange-red portal quietly awaited Liu Nian's arrival.
As Liu Nian stepped into the portal, the system notification sounded again.
[Items from the dungeon detected on the player; teleportation failed]
Items from the dungeon? A saddlebag? No! Let's look for something else.
When I looked through the space, I found several dire wolf carcasses. I had originally planned to keep them to roast wolf meat.
Let's try it out first, throw the dire wolf out of the space.
Then he stepped into the portal again, and sure enough... he fainted again!
Looking at the ruins before him, Liu Nian knew that he had successfully returned to the real world.
