Chapter 99: The Overlord Boss, Dragon King Born of Shadows

The moment the deafening shouts from outside reached the inside of the carriage, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Jeremy quickly said, "Stay calm, everyone. Stay inside the carriage. I'll go out and see what's happening!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeremy teleported outside the carriage.

The entire sky was shrouded in an impenetrable darkness, allowing no light to touch the ground.

It was as if all the life force in the land had been drained away. The temperature in the air was plummeting rapidly, and it wouldn't be long before it dropped to freezing levels.

However, none of this mattered to Jeremy. He didn't even notice the shouting around him.

He stood there, half-raising his head, staring blankly at the dark sky.

In a flash of insight from The Eye of Omniscience, the stats of the Shadow Dragon flooded into Jeremy's mind.

[Shadow Dragon (Overlord Boss)]

[Level: 80]

[Health Points: ???]

[Attack Power: Infinite]

[Defense: ???]

[Skills: 1. Grasp of Shadows 2. Call of the Shadows 3. Soul Assault 4. Dragon King's Storm]

[Description: The Dragon King born of shadows, the mortal enemy of all life.]

[Note: The Shadow Dragon is extremely dangerous. Players below Tier 4 should exercise extreme caution. Weakening the power of shadows is the only way to harm the Shadow Dragon.]

Although Jeremy had encountered many powerful monsters and enemies before, the stats of the Shadow Dragon left him utterly shocked.

He couldn't have imagined that the Shadow Dragon's attack power would be infinite.

This meant that if he were hit by the Shadow Dragon's attack, he would be instantly killed.

Even the [Requiem of Life]might not be able to take effect against the Shadow Dragon's attacks.

Moreover, the most daunting challenge Jeremy faced was that, even with the hints from The Eye of Omniscience, he had no clue how to defeat the Shadow Dragon.

The guidance provided by The Eye of Omniscience was practically useless, offering no substantial advantage.

"What on earth should I do? The Shadow Dragon's defense and health seem incredibly high! And this is the first Overlord Boss I've ever encountered!"

Jeremy pondered intensely, unable to devise a strategy against the Shadow Dragon. His deep contemplation made him appear stunned, a fact that did not go unnoticed by others.

"Jeremy, what's the situation outside?"

Bonnie's voice called from inside the carriage, snapping Jeremy back to reality. He realized he had been lost in thought for too long.

"Stay inside the carriage, no matter what. Do not come out unless I say so! The situation outside is dire, the power of the Shadow Dragon is beyond your imagination."

Jeremy warned one last time, then picked up his Bone Spear.

No matter how formidable the Shadow Dragon was, Jeremy knew he had no retreat. It was clear that the Shadow Dragon was targeting him specifically.

"[Disaster Blade]!"

Witnessing this, Jeremy felt a surge of optimism, as it indicated that his plan was halfway to success.

All he needed to do now was evade the direct assaults of the Shadow Dragon and then seize an opportunity to teleport back to the caravan.

While Jeremy and the Shadow Dragon engaged in their high-stakes chase, the four individuals inside the carriage waited anxiously for Jeremy's return.

Nina, her face pale, clasped her hands tightly together, her eyes closed as if in fervent prayer.

Master Bard and Heber pressed their ears against the carriage walls, straining to catch any sounds from outside that might reveal what was happening.

Only Bonnie managed to maintain a semblance of composure, sitting calmly in her original position, seemingly unperturbed.

However, as the sounds of shadowy explosions outside grew more intense, and the shadow energy around the carriage thickened, causing the temperature to plummet, none of the four could remain calm any longer.

Master Bard frantically rummaged through his storage storage space.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, he produced four bottles of potion.

"These are [Elixirs of Light]." Master Bard explained. "Their effect is to enhance our resistance to shadow energy. The surrounding shadow forces are becoming overwhelmingly powerful, we need to take precautions immediately."

Heber hurriedly grabbed a bottle of the Elixir of Light and downed it in one gulp.

Although Bonnie managed to maintain her outward composure, her hands trembled slightly as she accepted the elixir.

Nina, on the other hand, remained motionless, continuing her prayers.

Bonnie took the elixir from Master Bard's hand and approached Nina.

"Nina, stop praying for a moment and drink this Elixir of Light." she gently urged.

Nina slowly turned her head, her eyes glistening with tears, and looked at Bonnie.

"Can Jeremy really defeat the Shadow Dragon? My father once told me that the Shadow Dragon is almost akin to a deity," she said, her voice trembling.

As the daughter of the Lord of Dawn City, Nina had indeed heard her father speak of the Shadow Dragon.

Bonnie did her best to remain calm.

She nodded and smiled reassuringly. "Jeremy will definitely defeat the Shadow Dragon. I used to worry about him, just like you. "

But time and again, he's proven himself different from others—capable of creating miracles. Whether the Shadow Dragon is truly a god or not, Jeremy will overcome it."

Bonnie's words finally calmed Nina down.

Nina nodded firmly. "You're right, Jeremy is definitely a man who can work miracles!"

She declared before promptly drinking the Elixir of Light.

Bonnie couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment at Nina's reaction.

It was clear that Nina had placed all her hopes in Jeremy, a sign that she genuinely cared for him. Jeremy's charisma was undeniable.

"I don't know whether I want you to succeed in defeating the Shadow Dragon or not."

Bonnie thought to herself.

Though she had also fallen for Jeremy, she secretly wished he would learn a lesson from this ordeal.

Once they drank the Elixirs of Light, the effects were almost immediate. The shadow energy surrounding the carriage posed no significant threat to the four of them anymore. All that was left was to wait for Jeremy's return.
