This silver-quality double-handed sword evoked looks of envy in the eyes of the three Dawn Warriors, who were all still dressed in level 20 white-quality gear.

Song Jian thought for a moment, then directly handed the long sword to the newly recruited follower. He then sorted through the loot, picked out a few pieces of level 20 blue-green gear, and handed it over to “Dawn Warrior – Ya”.

“Thankyou, my lord, I swear I’ll followyou unto death!” Da™ Warrior-Ya, emotion written all over his face, knelt on one knee and bowed to Song Jian.

After changing into his new gear, “Ya’s” combat power had increased two or threefold. The Blood Beheading Greatsword he held incited envy in the other two Da™ Warriors.

Once everyone’s vitality points had fully recovered, Song Jian rose to his feet: “Continue!”

The group followed the cave passage and moved on.

On their journey, “Ya” was always at the very front, opposing all the minor creatures single-handedly, making the path afterward much easier.

“If it weren’t for the ten-year contract I signed with Silver Moon Commerce, I d want to follow this man too!” a Dawn Warrior, enviously watching “Ya”, murmured quietly.

After killing the Bloody Baron, Song Jian gained a great deal of combat experience. On the later journey, he killed over a dozen small creatures. A golden light burst from his body, and his level rose to 19.

Song Jian used the additional skill point he gained to upgrade his ‘Rapid Sword’ skill, extending its duration by two seconds from six to eight.

After more than two hours, the group finally reached the deepest part of the Blood Demon Cave.

It looked like a ruined great hall. Half of it had collapsed, with large chunks of rubble piled up. At the rear of the hall was something like a volcano spouting hot red blood, splashing around like magma.

In front of this blood volcano was a seven to eight meters high throne, entirely made of black crystals, glistening under the light of the blood.

A demon knight with horns on his head sat on the throne.

As they entered the hall, the atmosphere changed as if an invisible force was binding them. Even the air became heavy.

The three Da™ Warriors looked at the throne with somber expressions and a look of despair in their eyes.

“How could this be, a real demon knight is guarding the Book of the Abyss?”

“Three bosses?” Song Jian was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

“So many bosses, no wonder no team has ever cleared the Blood Demon Cave so far…”

At this point, two three-headed hellhounds lay at the feet of the demon knight’s throne. Each of their massive heads raised, riveted on Song Jian’s party, revealing monstrous expressions.

If it were only one Demon Knight, Song Jian might have put up a fight, but the three bosses they faced now were something they couldn’t handle. They didn’t even have the courage to give it a try.

“Isn’t this quest difficulty a bit too high? Is the Book of the Abyss really a task I can accomplish at this stage?” Song Jian couldn’t help but wonder.

LV25 Abyss Demon Knight Kulun, Lord Level, Vitality Points: 8000/8000, Characteristics: Demonic Body, Super Damage, Skills: Demon Summoning, Hell Strike, Abyss Instant Slash.

LV20 Three-Headed Hellhound, Elite Level, Vitality Points: 4200/4200, Characteristics: Demonic Creature, Super Sharp, Skills: Evil Breath, Dead Light Eye, Bite Assault.

A level 25 Lord Level boss and two 20 Level Elite bosses – even if Song Jian were to ascend to level 20, he wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

Even with the addition of three Dawn Warriors and a Black Dragon Hatchling, there’s no way they could defeat them.

The Black Dragon cub sniffed out the scent of the demon, it became eager, let out a roar at the three bosses; two Hellhounds slowly stood up, fixing their eyes on the Black Dragon cub, they matched it in defiance and let out terrifying howls;

The three Dawn Warriors stayed restrained, looking over at Song Jian, waiting for his command;

“Priest Cecilia would never give me a task that I can’t accomplish. We will definitely kill these three bosses and obtain the Book of the Abyss!” Song Jian said firmly.

“Asya, you go try out the damage on the demon knight, I will command the Black Dragon cub to attract the attention of the two Hellhounds.” Song Jian turned to the remaining two dawn warriors saying: ” You assist with attacking from the side, if you notice something amiss, retreat immediately.”

Asya had changed into a new set of gear, Song Jian estimated that they should be able to resist attacks from the Abyss Demon Knight, but the other two Dawn Warriors might be knocked away as soon as they come into contact with the Demon Knight.

“Yes, Master!” Asya yelled, “The Goddess of Dawn is protecting me!”

Da™ Charge!

A glorious white light bloomed under Asya’s feet, and as quick as an arrow, she charged at the demon knight;

The Black Dragon cub let out a roar at the two Hellhounds, spouting hot Dragon Breath, rushing towards the two Hellhounds;

“The Goddess of Da™ protects us!” The two Dawn Warriors exchanged a glance, their faces filled with determination, and with a low growl, they also charged at the demon knight together;

-58

-57

-55

Indeed, the power of a level 20 silver-grade Blood Beheading Greatsword was extraordinary, cutting down on the Demon Knight, even a common attack could cause over fifty damage.

However, the other two Dawn Warriors, could only inflict about a dozen damage on the BOSS, sometimes, they could only cause single digit damage;

“Vermin!” The Demon Knight gave a disdainful growl, randomly drew a halberd from beside his throne and fiercely stabbed it toward Asya;

A sharp sound tearing through the air suddenly echoed, it almost pierced the Da™ Warriors’ eardrums, all three showed pained expressions on their faces.

Thud-

The halberd cruelly pierced Asya’s chest, instantly causing over five hundred damage, this attack made Asya, with only eight hundred Vitality Points, feel a wave of fear, this was her first time being so close to death;

“Why is the damage so high?” Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed, this was just a casual strike from the BOSS, if their opponent used a skill, wouldn’t that instantly wipe out Asya?

The assisting Da™ Warriors’ faces also revealed surprise, Asya’s gear was much better than theirs, if they were the target of this attack, they’d probably be beaten to near death;

“We can’t defeat it!” Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed, and after some hesitation, he jumped in, preparing to take Asya’s place.

“Retreat, retreat, we can’t win!” Song Jian was anxious but at that moment, a milky white beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping Asya, her Vitality Points, which had already lost two-thirds, instantly filled up, and a thin light curtain appeared on the surface of Asya’s body. The curtain kept circulating, sparkling with milky white light.
