Chapter 748: Chapter 540: The NPC Stole the Boss_3

This is not a good sign.

Magdalena did not notice anything unusual about Grace and quickly ordered some food.

The first to arrive was a large bowl of desserts, made with candied cakes accompanied by a sweet and sour jam.

Then came a large bowl of ice cream, a variety of flavors on a platter.

Grace tasted her own dessert and let out a satisfied sigh.

"The flavor is really good."

"Try this," said Magdalena.

"It’s delicious!"

"This place is heaven." Grace was surprised by Magdalena’s words; what special energy could make people fall into decadence here?

Endless pleasure?

However, Magdalena’s next words silenced all of Grace’s questions.

"Not even the once Misty Rain City could achieve such a life where everyone lives happily together, enjoying every day," Magdalena said, "I, Lind Erman, am more suited to be the Lord of Misty Rain City."

After finishing the bowl of dessert, Magdalena suddenly switched her demeanor.

While she began to indulge in everything, the huge wolf tried to speak up and remind her several times, but in the end, restrained itself.

Even Grace thought that Magdalena might have lost the will to fight, trapped in this world of pleasure.

But unexpectedly, Magdalena, whose expression had suddenly changed, said, "Let’s go."

"Where to?"

"To complete more commissions and to save Misty Rain City, to at least make it carefree like this city."

Grace finally understood that Magdalena had not fallen into the abyss named pleasure; when given the chance to indulge, she would let go and enjoy.

But when it was time to leave, she would turn away without hesitation and work hard for her own goals.

Because she knew none of this belonged to her.

She must earn it all through her own efforts.

Along the way, Grace glanced at Magdalena several times, thinking this was the first time she had truly met her, willing to put her on the same level as herself for a conversation, not just as a pitiable creature who lost its home and came to seek help and protection.

"What’s wrong?" Magdalena turned to look at Grace.

"We need to act quickly, if it’s just the set you mentioned, it’s simple."

"Yes, it’s simple."

It might be difficult for Magdalena, but for Corruption King Grace, it was simple.

...

Somewhere in a massive labyrinth, the huge spiral patterns on the walls twined like channels.

The terrifying aura, along with the thick fog, enveloped the space like an invisible massive hammer, relentlessly pounding on the heads of everyone present.

Causing their heads to buzz.

"The boss is in a low health state!" shouted Moon Slash Blade.

To win this battle, they had already paid too much.

Although once the final phase began, the boss would become incredibly hard to kill, with casualties skyrocketing exponentially.

But success would mean completing the mission.

Named the Maze Giant Snake, this boss was at the bottom tier of the fifth circle.

Whenever it entered a low health state, it would release mist, the fog violently stirring the emotions within, causing the heartbeats of everyone still alive to uncontrollably race.

"Illumination Spell!"

"Light!"

The Undead began casting the Illumination Spell.

Streaks of mottled white light attempted to cut through the darkness created by the Maze Giant Snake.

The intense fog blocked the connective light, and everyone could only see about one or two meters around them; beyond that was darkness, endless darkness.

On the ground lay the scales of the giant snake, knocked down by successive attacks.

Boom, boom, boom—the ground began to tremble.

Scales on the ground jumped uncontrollably.

Moon Slash Blade raised his left hand, sparks erupted from his fingertips, quickly twisting into a swiftly spinning Flame Arrow.

With their vision obstructed, the Undead had to activate higher perception, using the touch of their bodies to feel the direction of airflow, and their hearing and smell to lock onto the enemy’s position.

The cold touch of the fog on their skin was uncomfortable. They could feel this place was like the real world, for they had turned their perception as high as they could bear.

"Ah!"

A sudden scream made all the Undead’s hearts jolt violently.

It was hard to imagine what kind of pain the other party must have endured to emit such a sound.

Then one after another, screams rose and fell.

Moon Slash Blade flicked his wrist gently, and the Flame Arrow pierced through the dense fog, making a clangorous sound.

Hit.

Position ascertained.

"Move!" Human-Slaying Blade hastened his pace and charged over.

Other Undead gathered in his direction based on his position.

As they tore through the thick fog, they saw a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the darkness.

Streams of blood were entwined around the Maze Giant Snake, its massive body crawling and writhing in the labyrinthine grooves like spirals.

Injury had not provoked its ferocity, instead, it had learned to be more enduring.

Like a patient and cunning hunter.

Unfortunately, the giant snake was now at the end of its rope.

Just one more wave of attacks, and the BOSS could be taken down!

The Undead were excited as if energized.

"Howl—!"

A sudden wolf howl came from behind.

A gust of wind passed; the Undead instinctively turned their heads thinking there was another enemy, yet saw no health bar.

Only a giant figure crossed through space, and in a blink, was in front of them.

It was a giant Wolf!

The giant Wolf charged in front of the Maze Giant Snake, bit its head in one go, shook its head to drag it down, and trampled the snake’s body with its paws.

The Maze Giant Snake began to counterattack.

Its body, enormous compared to the giant Wolf’s, coiled around the Wolf’s body, locking on the Wolf’s throat in an attempt to strangle it to death.

But the disparity in strength rendered this resistance meaningless.

"Crack!"

The giant Wolf bit off the Maze Giant Snake’s head.

"Isn’t this Wolf one of the Corrupt King’s?" asked one of the Undead.

No red name meant it was one of their own.

But the Boss was killed by another NPC; what did they gain after all they had done?

Who could tell why.

"Hope I’m not too late."

A voice came from behind.

The giant Wolf quickly turned and left, coming to the side of that figure.

Magdalena.

She just smiled slightly, then mounted the giant Wolf, turned around, and left, leaving the bewildered Undead behind.

It wasn’t until one of the Undead asked belatedly, "Did we just get our kill stolen by an NPC?"

"F*ck!"
