This silver-quality double-handed sword evoked looks of envy in the eyes of the three Dawn Warriors, who were all still dressed in level 20 white-quality gear.
Song Jian thought for a moment, then directly handed the long sword to the newly recruited follower. He then sorted through the loot, picked out a few pieces of level 20 blue-green gear, and handed it over to âDawn Warrior â Yaâ.
âThankyou, my lord, I swear Iâll followyou unto death!â Da⢠Warrior-Ya, emotion written all over his face, knelt on one knee and bowed to Song Jian.
After changing into his new gear, âYaâsâ combat power had increased two or threefold. The Blood Beheading Greatsword he held incited envy in the other two Da⢠Warriors.
Once everyoneâs vitality points had fully recovered, Song Jian rose to his feet: âContinue!â
The group followed the cave passage and moved on.
On their journey, âYaâ was always at the very front, opposing all the minor creatures single-handedly, making the path afterward much easier.
âIf it werenât for the ten-year contract I signed with Silver Moon Commerce, I d want to follow this man too!â a Dawn Warrior, enviously watching âYaâ, murmured quietly.
After killing the Bloody Baron, Song Jian gained a great deal of combat experience. On the later journey, he killed over a dozen small creatures. A golden light burst from his body, and his level rose to 19.
Song Jian used the additional skill point he gained to upgrade his âRapid Swordâ skill, extending its duration by two seconds from six to eight.
After more than two hours, the group finally reached the deepest part of the Blood Demon Cave.
It looked like a ruined great hall. Half of it had collapsed, with large chunks of rubble piled up. At the rear of the hall was something like a volcano spouting hot red blood, splashing around like magma.
In front of this blood volcano was a seven to eight meters high throne, entirely made of black crystals, glistening under the light of the blood.
A demon knight with horns on his head sat on the throne.
As they entered the hall, the atmosphere changed as if an invisible force was binding them. Even the air became heavy.
The three Da⢠Warriors looked at the throne with somber expressions and a look of despair in their eyes.
âHow could this be, a real demon knight is guarding the Book of the Abyss?â
âThree bosses?â Song Jian was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
âSo many bosses, no wonder no team has ever cleared the Blood Demon Cave so farâ¦â
At this point, two three-headed hellhounds lay at the feet of the demon knightâs throne. Each of their massive heads raised, riveted on Song Jianâs party, revealing monstrous expressions.
If it were only one Demon Knight, Song Jian might have put up a fight, but the three bosses they faced now were something they couldnât handle. They didnât even have the courage to give it a try.
âIsnât this quest difficulty a bit too high? Is the Book of the Abyss really a task I can accomplish at this stage?â Song Jian couldnât help but wonder.
LV25 Abyss Demon Knight Kulun, Lord Level, Vitality Points: 8000/8000, Characteristics: Demonic Body, Super Damage, Skills: Demon Summoning, Hell Strike, Abyss Instant Slash.
LV20 Three-Headed Hellhound, Elite Level, Vitality Points: 4200/4200, Characteristics: Demonic Creature, Super Sharp, Skills: Evil Breath, Dead Light Eye, Bite Assault.
A level 25 Lord Level boss and two 20 Level Elite bosses â even if Song Jian were to ascend to level 20, he wouldnât stand a chance against them.
Even with the addition of three Dawn Warriors and a Black Dragon Hatchling, thereâs no way they could defeat them.
The Black Dragon cub sniffed out the scent of the demon, it became eager, let out a roar at the three bosses; two Hellhounds slowly stood up, fixing their eyes on the Black Dragon cub, they matched it in defiance and let out terrifying howls;
The three Dawn Warriors stayed restrained, looking over at Song Jian, waiting for his command;
âPriest Cecilia would never give me a task that I canât accomplish. We will definitely kill these three bosses and obtain the Book of the Abyss!â Song Jian said firmly.
âAsya, you go try out the damage on the demon knight, I will command the Black Dragon cub to attract the attention of the two Hellhounds.â Song Jian turned to the remaining two dawn warriors saying: â You assist with attacking from the side, if you notice something amiss, retreat immediately.â
Asya had changed into a new set of gear, Song Jian estimated that they should be able to resist attacks from the Abyss Demon Knight, but the other two Dawn Warriors might be knocked away as soon as they come into contact with the Demon Knight.
âYes, Master!â Asya yelled, âThe Goddess of Dawn is protecting me!â
Da⢠Charge!
A glorious white light bloomed under Asyaâs feet, and as quick as an arrow, she charged at the demon knight;
The Black Dragon cub let out a roar at the two Hellhounds, spouting hot Dragon Breath, rushing towards the two Hellhounds;
âThe Goddess of Da⢠protects us!â The two Dawn Warriors exchanged a glance, their faces filled with determination, and with a low growl, they also charged at the demon knight together;
-58
-57
-55
Indeed, the power of a level 20 silver-grade Blood Beheading Greatsword was extraordinary, cutting down on the Demon Knight, even a common attack could cause over fifty damage.
However, the other two Dawn Warriors, could only inflict about a dozen damage on the BOSS, sometimes, they could only cause single digit damage;
âVermin!â The Demon Knight gave a disdainful growl, randomly drew a halberd from beside his throne and fiercely stabbed it toward Asya;
A sharp sound tearing through the air suddenly echoed, it almost pierced the Da⢠Warriorsâ eardrums, all three showed pained expressions on their faces.
Thud-
The halberd cruelly pierced Asyaâs chest, instantly causing over five hundred damage, this attack made Asya, with only eight hundred Vitality Points, feel a wave of fear, this was her first time being so close to death;
âWhy is the damage so high?â Song Jianâs eyebrows furrowed, this was just a casual strike from the BOSS, if their opponent used a skill, wouldnât that instantly wipe out Asya?
The assisting Da⢠Warriorsâ faces also revealed surprise, Asyaâs gear was much better than theirs, if they were the target of this attack, theyâd probably be beaten to near death;
âWe canât defeat it!â Song Jianâs eyebrows furrowed, and after some hesitation, he jumped in, preparing to take Asyaâs place.
âRetreat, retreat, we canât win!â Song Jian was anxious but at that moment, a milky white beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping Asya, her Vitality Points, which had already lost two-thirds, instantly filled up, and a thin light curtain appeared on the surface of Asyaâs body. The curtain kept circulating, sparkling with milky white light.
