After the battle had ended and the battlefield lay silent, Alex took a deep breath, surveying the carnage left behind.
Bodies of players from the Overlord Guild had all disappeared, back to reality, their attempts to ambush him utterly futile.
But just as he was about to turn to Alice, ready to leave, a new notification flashed in front of him.
Ding!
[The Undead King has initiated the "Resurrection" process.]
His eyes widened slightly, though not out of surprise.
He had expected this.
Of course, the Undead King wouldn't stay down for long, secret bosses like that never did.
He glanced at Alice, who was busy looking through the loot they had gathered from the battle.
"We should leave," Alex said, his voice calm.
Alice looked up, confused, "Why? Isn't the boss dead?"
