Chapter 23: Chapter 23: George’s Plan! Fight the Infernal Lord! Enter the Underworld!

“Let’s go, monster hunting. You two need to level up as fast as you can, then go to the Underworld and fight the Infernal Lord boss, Austin!”

George looked at the two girls, speaking calmly.

“Uh… what?”

Elise’s eyes popped open, and she was completely shocked. “Master, what did you say? Fight the Infernal Lord boss? Austin is a 32-level abyss boss, you know!”

Elise looked a little nervous, and her lips even trembled slightly.

George: “…”

“You’re already 20 levels now. Your stage has even reached S tier.”

George said coolly. “You, Melina, plus the Goblin King-three of you can’t beat the Infernal Lord?”

George’s eyes stayed calm.

Elise was stunned for a moment. “Huh! You’re right, actually! Melina is already 22 levels, and I’m 20. The goblin… that ugly guy, his power is also okay. Maybe… we really can fight the Infernal Lord boss!”

As soon as she said it, even Elise was shocked by her own words.

She used to be just a high-level elf boss who couldn’t even beat an Elite Troll.

Saying she was a boss was maybe a bit too kind.

Compared to the real secret zone boss like the Infernal Lord, Elise was just a regular elite monster.

Even compared to the Goblin King, she had no race advantage-she was just one lonely person.

But now, things were different.

S tier stage!

For a boss, that meant an S tier bloodline. She was now in the first group!

If she kept developing, she could even reach 30 levels. Then she would be a high-level boss matching the Demon Baron.

Hmm.

The previous Infernal Demon boss was the lowest rank among the Demon Barons.

Normally, a Demon Baron was at least 30 levels.

With some tricks, it was possible to become a Baron at 20, but there was no territory and very few followers.

“Let’s go,” George rubbed his nose, ready to summon the Goblin King. He glanced at Melina, who was wearing a little too little, and then threw her a Bronze Rank cloak.

The stats were barely improved, but after putting it on, Melina was completely covered.

As for Elise, she was already dressed pretty much.

But suddenly, a loud and ear-piercing sound rang out. George’s eyebrows immediately frowned.

“What?”

Elise’s voice was anxious and panicked. “No good! Master! It’s the Troll King boss!”

“What?!”

George was a bit confused. He turned around and saw a huge, strong monster. It was over twelve meters tall, like a small mountain. Its whole body was covered with hard muscles that looked more like rock or armor than flesh.

The monster was covered in dark moss all over its body.

It looked a lot like the trolls George had seen before, but this one was much more powerful. Its eyes burned with even more anger.

[Troll King Boss

Stage: A Rank

Level: 27

HP: 290,000]

George raised his eyes and narrowed them. Just by looking at the Troll King’s status screen, he couldn’t help but smirk. “What? 27 level? 290,000 HP?”

The previous Elite Troll was only 17 level.

This Troll King was ten levels higher.

All its stats were way more ridiculous than the Elite Troll.

Its HP was even more than George’s strongest pet, Melina, by nearly ten levels.

George took a deep breath.

He raised his hand and was about to summon the Goblin King.

He also stepped back a bit, just in case this Troll King locked on to him.

At George’s current level and defense, if this Troll King targeted him, one of its attacks would probably take him down in seconds.

A class changer and a boss? The numbers didn’t match up. Not even a Gold Rank armor could fix that.

George took a deep breath.

Just as he was about to summon the Goblin King, Melina, who had been quiet, spoke up.

“Master, I can kill it. I want to try.”

Her voice was soft.

But George heard every word clearly.

??

Was she that strong?

Could a 22-level character really kill a 27-level one?

At the same time, the Troll King opened its golden eyes wide and stared directly at George. It roared with pure rage:

“Damn it! You dare kill my subordinates? You dare invade my territory? You’re dead! You’re dead!”

“Tiny human pests! And ugly elves! Hmm? What’s this? Are you a human captured by the Infernal Lord? Haha, you even have that evil holy aura on you. So disgusting!”

The Troll King was furious.

It scanned George, Elise, and Melina.

George was stunned.

Why did all these demons think elves were ugly…

What was with this taste?

“Captured by the Infernal Lord, huh?” George narrowed his eyes. He probably figured out what happened. After being abandoned by the Aela Empire, Melina fell into the abyss and then ended up in the Underworld.

From George’s guess,

Melina appearing in this College Entrance Exam realm

was probably part of a test.

And being trapped on the cross-

that was definitely the work of the Infernal Lord.

After thinking it through, George nodded.

If this was a test,

then…

Was George getting a perfect score?

He didn’t kill Melina.

Instead, he made her his pet.

And he even helped her level up a stage.

“Die! Die! Invaders! Ugly, terrible humans!”

“I! Will avenge the trolls!”

“You guys are trash!”

The Troll King roared.

George looked at the translated text on his screen, listening to the Troll King’s endless stream of rage, and he was completely speechless.

With that appearance, if Lily and the other girls saw it, they’d probably feel a little sick.

How could the Troll King dare call George ugly?

As George listened to the Troll King spew all its trash talk, his eyebrows furrowed.

“Kill it,” George said coldly.

Melina nodded. A second later, she shot forward toward the Troll King.

Melina didn’t have wings, so she couldn’t fly.

But she jumped, and in an instant, a long spear appeared in her hands.

“The Dark Path!”

“Holy Light Descends!”

“Divine Punishment!”

Melina unleashed three skills in one go.

In an instant, a terrifying dark rune circle appeared under the Troll King.

The runes glowed and pulsed.

Then, from the sky, divine light poured down like a branding mark, covering the Troll King!

And that was not all.

“Divine Punishment” was a physical skill. Melina gripped the broken Silver Rank spear and drove it straight into the Troll King’s chest!

Clang!

A clear, metallic collision sound rang out.

In an instant, the Troll King’s body was pierced!

Its HP bar trembled wildly!

The next second, the Troll King lowered its head, staring in shock at its pierced chest, its eyes full of fear and a hint of despair!

“What? How is this possible? No! Why is my Strength disappearing? No!”

At that moment, the Troll King’s massive body looked surprisingly clumsy, swaying like a mountain about to collapse!

At that point, its HP had dropped to less than 10%!

Dark green smoke rose from the Troll King’s body, spreading out in all directions.

The Troll King screamed in horror, its face twisted in disbelief.

“No! Why? Why do you have such terrifying Strength? How is this possible? You have the Strength of light, but why do you also have the Dark Side? How did you use such a dark method? You bastard!”

The Troll King was terrified.

It looked at the calm Melina beside it, its expression full of fear.

Melina turned to George and asked, “Should I kill him?”

George was stunned.

Was she that strong?

She just took down the Troll King in an instant?

Compared to the Troll King, Melina was just a tiny bug.

It wasn’t mockery.

It was just that, compared to that massive body, Melina really was tiny.

George took a deep breath and thought for a moment.

“A 27-level boss, that fits the condition to become a pet. But… hmm.”

George made a face.

Then he waved his hand.

“Kill it.”
