Lu Ming and his draconian soldier delved deeper into the winding cave tunnels. The air grew colder and the silence became almost oppressive. The walls were lined with bioluminescent fungi that emitted a faint greenish light, casting eerie shadows along the path.
As they ventured further, they began to hear distant noises, like creaking and clinking that echoed through the cavernous passages. Lu Ming tensed, knowing they were approaching an important confrontation.
Suddenly, they arrived at a large chamber. The room was shrouded in a thick, chilling mist that obscured visibility. Shadows danced unsettlingly on the walls, and the floor was littered with bones and remnants of past battles.
In the center of the chamber, surrounded by 50 skeletal figures, stood an ominous figure: a lich. Its tattered robes hung from its skeletal frame, and a greenish orb floated above its bony hands. The lich's hollow, cold eyes fixed on Lu Ming and his draconian soldier with malevolent intelligence.
**[Lich]: Level 10
HP: 200 | MP: 150 | Strength: 25 | Resilience: 20 | Agility: 15
Skills: Dark Magic (Level 3), Summon Skeletons (Level 2)**
**[Skeleton Warrior]: Level 1
HP: 50 | MP: 0 | Strength: 10 | Resilience: 8 | Agility: 5**
The lich raised its bone staff, and a wave of necromantic energy surged, reanimating the skeletons with renewed vigor. They charged toward Lu Ming and his draconian soldier, their eyes glowing with an unsettling light.
"Prepare yourself," Lu Ming said determinedly. "This battle will be tough."
The draconian soldier charged into the fray, wings spread wide as he confronted the nearest skeletons. With each strike of his spear, bones shattered and dust scattered. However, the sheer number of enemies made his task arduous. The skeletons crowded around him, their bony swords aiming to pierce his defenses.
Lu Ming activated his **[Abyssal Dragon]** skill, enveloping himself in a dark aura as he plunged into combat. His claws ripped through the skeletons with ease, but the number of foes was overwhelming. Using his agility, he dodged incoming attacks, his movements swift and deadly.
The lich, from its elevated position, began casting spells. Rays of dark energy shot from its staff, striking the draconian soldier. Each impact caused the draconian to stagger, its body trembling under the assault.
"Hold on!" Lu Ming shouted. "Focus on the lich! I'll handle these skeletons!"
The draconian soldier, though exhausted, followed the command. Fending off the skeletons, his spear eventually made its way toward the lich. The battle intensified. Lu Ming used his **[Abyssal Claws]** skill to tear through the bones surrounding the lich, his attacks becoming more focused.
The lich, seeing its minions being decimated, began summoning more skeletons from the shadows. The chamber quickly filled with new undead soldiers, the clattering of bones and the ringing of weapons filling the air.
Lu Ming, aware of the danger, activated his **[Abyssal Dragon]** skill to its fullest. A black aura enveloped his claws as he charged at the lich. Each blow struck the lich's defenses with increasing force. The lich retaliated with necromantic spells, unleashing dark energy explosions that tried to repel Lu Ming.
The draconian soldier, meanwhile, had managed to get into a position to attack the lich directly. With a powerful thrust, his spear pierced the lich's defenses, causing the lich to stagger. Lu Ming saw the opportunity and redoubled his efforts, delivering a final, decisive blow with all his might.
With a final, piercing scream, the lich attempted to cast one last spell, a storm of dark magic threatening to engulf the entire chamber. Lu Ming charged forward, channeling his own dark energy to counteract the lich's magic. The clash of energies caused the chamber to shake violently.
Finally, with a decisive strike, the draconian soldier drove his spear through the lich's torso. The lich emitted a final screech before collapsing, its floating orb flickering and extinguishing. The remaining skeletons collapsed into piles of bones, their enchantments broken.

Breathing heavily, Lu Ming surveyed the chamber. The oppressive mist had dissipated, revealing the full extent of the room. In the center, amidst the scattered remains, lay a large chest.
Lu Ming approached the chest, his heart pounding with anticipation. He opened it carefully, and inside found a substantial amount of gold coins, glowing with a golden sheen in the dim light.
**System Notification:**
You have found a treasure chest with 600 gold coins.
"It seems our efforts have paid off," Lu Ming said with satisfaction. "Let's gather this treasure and continue exploring. There is surely more to discover in these depths."
The draconian soldier, though exhausted, nodded in agreement. Together, they prepared to move forward, knowing their adventure had only just begun.
