He held a long twisted staff made of pale bone topped with a glowing and pulsing green crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, he does not look that tough,\" Mei whispered and gripped her pan tightly. \"I have punched bigger things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is a Dark Demon caster,\" Dante said softly and did not step into the room yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His physical stats are probably garbage, but his magic scaling will be astronomical. Do not underestimate him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King slowly raised his head. His hollow eye sockets burned with an intense sickly green fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t roar. He didn’t monologue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his glowing eyes locked onto the party standing in the archway, he simply raised his bone staff and tapped it gently against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was quiet, but it echoed loudly in the silent room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor beneath Dante, Lila, and Mei instantly exploded into a massive geyser-like eruption of highly concentrated necrotic fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t even have to think.

She flicked her wrist and instantly cast [Astral Bridge].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A localized and highly pressurized gravitational platform materialized directly beneath her boots and those of Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The platform acted like a localized elevator. It instantly and violently thrust both girls twenty feet into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They completely avoided the necrotic fire that scorched the ground where they had just been standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice save, blue hair!\" Pip shrieked. He clutched tightly to the tunic of Mei as they hovered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not call me that,\" Lila gritted her teeth and maintained the gravity platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King didn’t look frustrated that his opening attack had missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Dark Demon boss simply stood up from his iron throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t walk.

It aimed perfectly at the skeletal chest of the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King didn’t dodge.

He triggered [Blink Step] to reposition as the Lich-King fired a rapid volley of glowing green necrotic bolts from his staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante teleported across the room and easily dodged the targeted projectiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolts hit the stone walls and instantly melted the ancient bone architecture into localized puddles of gray slag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lila, drop him!\" Dante yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lila didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She released her gravity platform, dropped safely to the ground with Mei, and instantly pointed her wooden staff directly at the hovering Lich-King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Executed: Gravity Well]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She attempted to cast the high-pressure cylinder directly over the boss to crush him into the floor just like she had done to the Wraith-Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible gravitational force slammed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tattered robes of the Lich-King fluttered violently, but he didn’t fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive glowing text prompt appeared directly over the head of the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boss Passive Active: Ethereal Levitation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: The entity is completely immune to gravitational manipulation and physical grounding mechanics.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It did not work!\" Lila panicked. Her mana bar dropped slightly from the cast. \"He is completely immune to gravity magic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is a ghost,\" Dante gritted his teeth. \"Physical physics do not apply to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King looked down at the party. The glowing green fire in his eye sockets flared violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised both hands and lifted his bone staff high above his head. The crystal at the tip began to pulse with a blinding toxic light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boss Ultimate Triggered: Soul-Rot Miasma]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King didn’t fire a targeted bolt. He didn’t summon an explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released a localized room-wide curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of thick sickly green mist instantly exploded from the crystal on his staff. It rapidly filled the entire volume of the massive throne room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was absolutely nowhere to hide. There was no physical projectile to dodge. The curse permeated the very air they were breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t use [Aegis Deflection].

The permanent and absolute immunity to all negative status effects recognized the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green mist hit the gold armor of Dante and simply slid off.

Her face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei staggered and dropped to one knee beside her violently coughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above their heads, the system interface flashed the horrifying continuous damage ticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-5% HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-5% HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-5% HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their health bars were plummeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse was designed to wipe an entire forty-man raid group if they didn’t kill the boss fast enough. It was a brutal and unavoidable damage-over-time mechanic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aura!\" Dante yelled. His heart pounded against his ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny silver fox materialized instantly. She didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recognized her allies were taking critical damage and let out a sharp resonant chime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Activated: Resurgence Wave]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive pulse of concentrated Aether exploded outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It washed over Lila and Mei and fully intended to restore 50% of their maximum health and cleanse the debuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aura, stop!\" Dante screamed. He realized the exact wording of the curse of the boss a fraction of a millisecond too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver healing wave hit the two girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Soul-Rot Miasma] didn’t just drain health.

She was completely horrified that her heal had hurt them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately retreated into her pet-space. She refused to cast again and recognized that her utility was currently a lethal weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are going to die,\" Lila whispered. Her voice was weak, and she struggled to keep her avatar upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei didn’t look cheerful anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brawler clutched her chest and looked up at Dante with wide terrified eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse ticked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-5% HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had exactly one second before the next tick completely zeroed out their health bars and triggered a True Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t try to use a skill to save them.

He knew the timing was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The talismans!\" Dante roared and pointed directly at them. \"Crush the crystals now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lila didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blindly reached into her pocket, pulled out the glowing blue crystal the City Lord had given them, and crushed it in her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei struggled to move her hand, but she managed to crush her crystal a fraction of a second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergency extraction talismans triggered instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding column of blue light erupted around both girls and the tiny red dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation magic completely bypassed the systemic lockdown of the boss room. It prioritized the hard-coded extraction parameters of the SSS-Rank quest item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue light vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lila, Mei, and Pip were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been successfully teleported back to the absolute safety of the eastern gates of Ironhold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante was standing completely alone in the massive green-lit throne room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Soul-Rot Miasma] was still heavily swirling around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich-King was still hovering fifty feet in the air. Its glowing green eyes locked onto the lone player remaining in the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante let out a long slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have his frontline brawler to block localized physical attacks.
