Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Undead King

The air in the chamber felt heavy, oppressive.

The Undead King stood before Alex, towering and menacing, its skeletal figure cloaked in dark, tattered robes.

Wisps of black mist swirled around the creature, giving off an eerie, malevolent energy that seemed to sap the warmth from the air.

The glowing blue eyes of the Undead King locked onto Alex, as if sizing him up, measuring his strength.

The system's notification blinked in the corner of Alex's vision.

[Undead King - Superior Boss - Level 50]

[HP: 100,000]

A Superior Boss.

But Alex was calm, he had already expected this, and so the fact the Undead King hefted a massive, jagged black sword didn't surprise him either.

It moved with unnatural speed, raising the weapon high as it prepared to strike.

Alex stood his ground.

"Stay behind me, Alice," Alex said over his shoulder, his voice was calm, but his eyes never left the Undead King, "You can't beat it."
