From beneath the earth came a tremor—then an explosion of dirt and bone. A creature rose from the ground: a skeletal knight clad in corroded armor, its frame towering twice Rhys's height. Jagged bone wings stretched out, clattering like broken swords, and a massive blackened greatsword burned with ghostly green fire in its grip.
[Boss Spawned: Boneflame Dreadknight]
— Undead Warlord. Specializes in cursed flame and relentless pursuit.
The Dreadknight's skull snapped toward him, empty sockets igniting with emerald fire. With a guttural roar, it swung its colossal blade down in a sweeping arc.
Rhys raised his mana shield, the impact shaking the ground beneath him. Sparks and green fire scattered like a storm.
"Bounce, Puddle—split it!" Rhys commanded.
