Quickly, Lufan's right arm underwent a complete transformation, becoming a dragon claw.
Beneath the jet-black scales, there was a faint reddish glow pulsing with each breath, as if the dragon claw contained an astounding power.
But that was not the only thing that astonished them.
The Ebony Dragon Scale Greatsword in Lufan's hand also underwent a change, seeming to melt and seep into Lufan's dragon claw.
As the sword's special ability "Dragon Blood Armor" activated, the Ebony Dragon Scale Greatsword fully merged into Lufan's dragon claw, causing it to expand by a whole size, making it even more imposing.
Lufan swung his new "arm" around, thoroughly satisfied with the explosive power radiating from the dragon claw.
With the Level 2 dragon claw combined with the double boost from the Dragon Blood Armor, Lufan now wielded an incredibly formidable dragon claw.
While it wasn't reflected in the attribute panel, Lufan could feel that his dragon claw's Strength attribute was at least 350 or more!
Seeing Qiu Qiu and the others stunned, Lufan loudly called out to snap them back to their senses: "Don't just stare, I'll take the front line, you guys in the rear continue the assault!"
After saying that, Lufan directly stepped forward, his dragon claw reaching out to grab the Desperate Vengeful Zombie.
Qiu Qiu and the other mages and archers snapped out of their daze, knowing this was no time to be stunned, and quickly began casting spells to assault the boss.
Lufan's dragon claw struck the Desperate Vengeful Zombie, and it let out a hissing roar, while also activating its Iron Chain Lashing.
The rusted iron chains lashed against the dragon claw, but failed to make Lufan retreat even half a step.
Clearly, in terms of Strength attribute, Lufan had now firmly taken the upper hand!
The dragon claw came crashing down, directly sending the Desperate Vengeful Zombie flying, and the secret realm's data panel showed Lufan's damage output suddenly spiking, proving just how terrifying that strike was.
At this point, Qiu Qiu and the other mages had also joined the fray. Qiu Qiu was still casting her Holy Light magic, which, although weakened by the Desperate Vengeful Zombie's Unquenchable Resentment, could still help restore Lufan's condition.
The other mages had abandoned Fireball, and were instead casting Ice Spike, not only dealing more damage, but also slowing down the Desperate Vengeful Zombie's movement speed.
At this moment, aside from Lufan, no one else in the front line could engage the Desperate Vengeful Zombie.
Relying on his dragon claw, Lufan was grappling with the Desperate Vengeful Zombie, firmly maintaining the absolute upper hand.
Combined with the relentless bombardment from Qiu Qiu and the other ranged mages and archers, the Desperate Vengeful Zombie could only howl incessantly, utterly powerless.
Lufan's dragon claw exerted such overwhelming suppression, both offensively and defensively, that the Desperate Vengeful Zombie was no match for him at all.
In fact, Lufan had the capability to solo the Desperate Vengeful Zombie, but with Qiu Qiu and the others providing ranged DPS, the speed of defeating the boss was even faster.
Finally, through everyone's concerted efforts, the Desperate Vengeful Zombie let out a agonized roar, its resentful aura bursting forth and dispersing into the air, as its body collapsed into a pile of rotten, foul-smelling flesh.
The secret realm had finally been cleared.
The numbers on everyone's mission panels changed to 1200/1200, and the mission was marked as complete.
Not only that, Lufan and Qiu Qiu's levels had both increased, to 15 and 14 respectively.
However, what disappointed Lufan was that he still hadn't received any level-up notifications for Little Night.
It seemed the more powerful the race, the slower their leveling progress.
Lufan had thought getting Little Night to Level 10 wouldn't be too difficult, but after clearing this secret realm, it was still stuck at Level 9.
It looked like even after leaving the secret realm, he would still need to hunt down some fierce beasts to help Little Night level up further.
At this moment, everything in the secret realm began to distort and fade, and all of them found themselves in a chaotic void.
From the chaos, three items gradually materialized, wrapped in a mysterious power, slowly floating towards them.
These were the rewards for clearing the secret realm - a scroll, a robe, and a staff.
"We've finally cleared it…" Qiu Qiu's eyes gleamed with a mix of fatigue and excitement.
At this point, Gu Xiang also walked up, leaning on his sword, and said with relief, "Yes, it's all thanks to little brother Lufan, or we would have been done for in this secret realm."
After a pause, Gu Xiang looked at the secret realm's data panel and said, "According to the rules, little brother Lufan, you may go and choose the rewards first."
The data panel showed that Lufan's damage output far exceeded everyone else's, being over ten times that of the second-place Qiu Qiu.
So by the rules, Lufan naturally had the right to choose the rewards first.
Lufan dismissed his Dragon Claw skill, restoring his arm to normal, then withdrew the Ebony Dragon Scale Greatsword, and stepped forward to examine the three rewards one by one.
He took in the names and effects of the items.
