Franklin reached out to summon, but the Cursed Crown in Su Mubai''s hand showed no reaction.


    Just as he was puzzled and shocked, he saw the human before him actually put the [Cursed Crown] on his head!


    "This is impossible! It''s mine, how can it be under your control!"


    Franklin was utterly shocked, clearly unable to comprehend why the [Cursed Crown] did not respond to his summons.


    "Once it''s in my hands, it belongs to me!"


    A fierce glint flashed in Su Mubai''s eyes. With a thought, the skeleton legion charged directly at Franklin.

    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Consumes 200 MP per second, no cooldown.


    (Curse is an art.)


    At this stage, no player other than Su Mubai can equip this item.


    This is also why Franklin was so shocked.


    "You despicable thief!"


    Faced with Su Mubai''s skeleton legion, Franklin''s eyes were full of rage, and the staff in his hand suddenly lit up.


    Buzz~


    Three pale gray portals opened, summoning Franklin''s undead legion.


    It must be said, the presence of an Epic-level BOSS is indeed much higher than that of a Dark Gold-level BOSS.


    The legion he summoned was not much smaller in number than Su Mubai''s.


    In addition to three types of skeletons, each with 100, there was also a squad of knights clad in black armor.


    [Shadow Knight]


    [Level 20]


    [Summoned Creature]


    [HP: 1,000,000/1,000,000]


    [Attack Power: 9800]


    [Physical Defense: 1800]


    [Magic Defense: 1800]


    [Skills: Shadow Charge, Shadow Power, Shadow Shield.]


    (A powerful undead creature, adept at charging and defense.)


    These knights, except for their HP, had stats approaching those of a Dark Gold-level BOSS of the same level!


    And Franklin summoned 10 Shadow Knights at once!


    The strength of an Epic-level BOSS far exceeds that of a Dark Gold-level, simply not on the same level!


    "I will turn you into the same existence as them!"


    The Soul Fire flickered in Franklin''s pupils, and the Shadow Knights, along with a hundred Skeleton Warriors, charged at Su Mubai.


    In the next moment, the two skeleton legions clashed fiercely.


    However, the result was completely different from what Franklin imagined.


    A pale blue aura appeared beneath Su Mubai''s feet, sweeping across a hundred-meter radius in an instant.


    [Cursed Aura]!


    The charging Shadow Knights suddenly slowed by 30%, and Su Mubai''s hundred Skeleton Warriors stood at the forefront, their giant swords slashing down fiercely, meeting the Shadow Knights'' charge without retreating!


    Then, a rain of arrows and fireballs swept over.


    With reduced casting and attack speeds, Franklin''s summoned legion was noticeably slower.


    [Heavy Hit]!


    [Double Shot]!


    [Fireball Technique]!


    -83,594, -83,071, -168,126!...


    -13,509, -27,274!, -13,622, -27,658!...


    -43,985, -43,233, -87,834!...


    As terrifying damage numbers flashed, nearly a quarter of Franklin''s summoned skeleton legion was wiped out instantly!


    Even a few Shadow Knights perished.


    The reason the damage was so much higher than before was not only because of an additional Legendary item but also due to Su Mubai''s current level.


    After reaching level 15, the attributes of his two Legendary items and the [Death Codex] had all been enhanced.


    The all-attributes bonus alone added 25 points each from the two Legendary items, and the [Death Codex] added another 50 points!


    Plus, with the [Cursed Crown] and Rod''s soul possession, Su Mubai''s Spirit attribute now reached a staggering 980 points, exactly double what it was when he first entered the Land of the Forgotten!


    As a result, the skeleton legion, bolstered by his Spirit attribute, naturally had its attribute panel doubled as well.


    Unfortunately, he couldn''t stack them again; the repaired [Cursed Crown] and the previous fragments were considered the same item by the [Cataclysm] talent.


    However, Su Mubai was mentally prepared for this and wasn''t too concerned.


    The current priority was to take down Franklin, the Epic-level BOSS.


    Overwhelm!


    Crush!


    The moment they clashed, Franklin realized something was wrong.


    He raised his hand to cast a supporting spell, but Su Mubai clearly wouldn''t give him the chance.


    Before the first incantation was uttered, Franklin suddenly felt a heart-palpitating force descend upon him.


    At that moment, even as a Lich, he felt an urge to kneel and submit!


    "This is... no, absolutely impossible..."


    Before he could finish speaking, Su Mubai''s gaze had already locked onto him.


    [Death''s Gaze]!


    The Soul Fire in Franklin''s pupils twisted violently, and he suddenly released his staff, clutching his head with both hands, trembling as he fell from mid-air!


    [Notice: You used "Death''s Gaze" on the Forgotten—Franklin, determining your life level is higher than his.]


    -14,000,000!


    The system notification sounded, and a gray eight-digit damage number appeared above Franklin''s head, instantly reducing his HP cap to 21,000,000.


    Every second, a real damage number exceeding 100,000 appeared above his head, with occasional crits nearing 300,000!


    Moreover, two curses were applied to Franklin along with Su Mubai''s [Death''s Gaze].


    [Notice: You applied a Pain Curse on "The Forgotten—Franklin," dealing 100% of your Spell Power as shadow damage per second, lasting 5 seconds.]


    [Notice: You applied a Calamity Curse on "The Forgotten—Franklin," increasing the target''s crit chance by 30% for 5 seconds.]


    Damage numbers popped up above Franklin''s head, and he had no way to resist.


    The fear effect of [Death''s Gaze] was something even this Epic-level BOSS couldn''t withstand, leaving him to run around like a headless chicken.


    This skill didn''t require Su Mubai to maintain focus.


    As long as he wished, the effect of [Death''s Gaze] wouldn''t shift from Franklin just because Su Mubai''s gaze did.


    Su Mubai merely glanced at Franklin, then turned to look at the corpse of the first fallen Shadow Knight.


    In the next moment, the Shadow Knight''s corpse exploded, engulfing a thirty-meter radius!


    Boom!


    [Advanced Corpse Explosion]!
