A crescent-shaped necromantic black energy shot towards Jiang Chen.
Another [Necromantic Crescent Slash]!
"I'm curious, how will you dodge this area skill?"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened, and a blue rune mark appeared on his forehead.
He vanished from his original spot, dodging the crescent black energy, and instantly appeared right in front of Dika!
They were now in close quarters.
"You actually dared to rush right up to my face!"
Dika looked surprised, ready to swing his sword down.
"Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!"
Jiang Chen murmured softly.
A dazzling hexagram magic array appeared beneath their feet.
Immediately, Dika's expression changed.
A large mass of black energy emerged from Qian Xingtianxia's body once again.
The black energy drifted away mysteriously!
When it reformed, it was already outside the hexagram magic array.
However, the black energy was noticeably smaller and was gradually dissolving.
"You ran pretty fast!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Qian Xingtianxia's corpse beneath his feet, then at the black energy outside the array, and said with a smile, "Let's see how long you can stay out there!"
"I will tear you to pieces!"
The hollow voice echoed in Jiang Chen's ears.
"Stop with the trash talk, if you've got the guts, come over here, I'm waiting!"
Jiang Chen taunted.
Unfortunately, the black energy remained unmoved, staying outside as it continued to dissolve.
Jiang Chen waited quietly.
Soon, ten seconds passed, and the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array disappeared.
The black energy had shrunk by half.
"You deserve to die!"
The hollow voice rang out again, and the black energy swiftly floated over, entering Qian Xingtianxia's body.

But before he could stand up.
"Here it comes!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and immediately chanted, "Angel's Hymn!"
Instantly, an angelic phantom appeared in mid-air.
With the sound of chanting, countless starlights fell from the sky.
The black energy once again emerged from Qian Xingtianxia's body, quickly dispersing and gathering outside the skill's range.
"Here's some good news for you, this time it's 30 seconds!" Jiang Chen said calmly.
"You freak! How can you have so many area skills at such a low level?"
The hollow voice carried a hint of confusion and anger.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of skills!"
Jiang Chen maintained a calm demeanor.
Time passed quickly.
This time, it only took ten seconds.
The black energy could no longer hold back, and it roared unwillingly, "Even if I die, I'll take you with me!"
Dika never expected to be pushed to this point.
This seemingly weak human in front of him was unexpectedly difficult to deal with!
He could only hold out for a few more seconds outside before completely dissipating!
Finally.
Only a head-sized black energy mass remained, drifting away.
Then, it charged directly at Jiang Chen under the Angel's Hymn!
Using the same method as before against Qian Xingtianxia!
Dika knew very well that forcing this move was akin to self-destruction, leaving him no chance of survival, but he was determined to kill this human in front of him!
The black energy condensed on Jiang Chen was dissolving rapidly, and it looked like it would disappear completely in four or five seconds.
At the same time, Jiang Chen's health was rapidly decreasing.
Moreover, strangely, the Mana Shield was ineffective!
This was directly reducing Jiang Chen's Health Points!
"Five seconds... with my health, I can't last two seconds!"
Jiang Chen quickly assessed the situation.
He knew the BOSS could last at most five more seconds.
But his own body was too fragile, with only over 300 health points left, he'd be gone in two hits!
"Holy Light Judgment!"
Jiang Chen immediately healed himself.
+882!
His health was instantly restored to full.
However, just three seconds later, his health dropped to over 200 points again!
"Die!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's remaining health drop to just over 100 points, the hollow voice screamed with madness.
"Right!"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately chanted, "Vanish into the Void!"
Instantly, a black halo appeared in his right eye.
His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
This wasn't a Blink.
It was the effect of the [Eye of Illusion]!
At this moment.
Jiang Chen found himself seemingly in a different space.
He could see everything outside, including the black energy, the angelic phantom in mid-air, the treasure chest not far away, and the walls of the inner chamber.
However, they all turned into semi-transparent grayish-white.
Moreover, although these scenes were right in front of him, they seemed untouchable, as if separated by infinite space and time.
"Have I entered the void?"
Jiang Chen looked curious.
He noticed the black energy in front of him was rapidly dissolving, and within two seconds, it completely vanished.
[You have slain the Gold Level BOSS: Lich Kadi, achieving the First Kill!]
The system notification popped up.
"Finally done!"
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for the Eye of Illusion, which allowed him to hide in the void!
The only pity was that the time to remain hidden in the void was currently only 2.4 seconds.
Then.
The surrounding scenery gradually regained its color.
Jiang Chen's body returned to the original world.
He saw a faint light appear at his feet, the loot dropped by the BOSS.
"Only one item? And not much experience, so this was a quest BOSS? Is this the reward for the Treasure Map quest?"
Jiang Chen pondered as he picked up the loot from the ground.
[You have obtained Dani's Soul Container!]
A purplish-red ring appeared in Jiang Chen's hand, and he quickly checked the details.
[Dani's Soul Container: The soul container of lich slave Dani, containing her soul. Possessing it allows Dani to acknowledge you as her master!]
"Lich slave..."
Jiang Chen muttered softly and walked over to the treasure chest.
Inside lay a coffin.
And inside the coffin was the lich slave Dani, who had just awakened not long ago, only to be drained of necromantic energy by Dika.
At this moment, her eyes were closed, no different from a corpse.
"Do I need to inject life to awaken her, won't she drain me dry?"
Jiang Chen said as he cast Holy Light Judgment on himself.
+882!
Jiang Chen's health was instantly restored to full.
He waited for the skill to cool down again, then slowly reached out and touched the lich slave's head.
Immediately, his health began to decrease.
In just four or five seconds, his Health Points dropped to less than 10%.
Jiang Chen cast Holy Light Judgment on himself again.
+882!
After his health was instantly restored, it began to decrease rapidly again.
This time, it dropped to just 5%.
Jiang Chen immediately withdrew his hand, not continuing further.
Once Holy Light Judgment cooled down, Jiang Chen healed himself again, then placed his hand back on the lich slave's head.
"Gods, please let this work!"
Jiang Chen was worried that if he removed his hand, the life he had injected earlier would not count.
A few seconds later.
Jiang Chen's health dropped to 30%, then stopped!
"Did it work?"
Seeing his health no longer decreasing, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
Inside the coffin, the lich slave who had been closing her eyes opened them.
Two ghostly blue lights shone in her eye sockets.
Then she slowly stood up, looked at Jiang Chen, and the light in her eyes flickered slightly.
"Master, master."
The lich slave Dani's slightly stiff voice slowly sounded.
