While Adrian was waiting for combat to start, he was shown a glimpse of the past in other words a cut-scene. In the cut-scene, he saw the gravekeeper managed to crack the barrier but the abyss dragon slipped through the cracks and repaired the damage to the barrier using its life force. The gravekeeper was so infuriated that it struck the dragon with its magic and cursed the abyss dragon by turning it into an undead. The gravekeeper sealed the dragon but never summoned it again because he was sure that the abyss dragon would be put under its control.
Now the situation is different, the abyss dragon bit the gravekeeper killing the gravekeeper in the process but the gravekeeper retaliated with magic and damaged the abyss zombie dragon leaving only half of its original one hundred thousand health. When the abyss zombie dragon killed the gravekeeper and threw its dead body to the side like a rag doll. Now the abyss zombie dragon looked at Adrian and Adrian's body can now move meaning the new boss monster for this dungeon would be the abyss zombie dragon. The dullahan spoke to Adrian.
" The majestic abyss dragon my master has once tamed was corrupted by that vile creature. It was a good thing the dragon killed him first but now its fangs are pointing at us. Young Asmodian, I will use the last of my soul's essence to fight with you to the end. The abyss zombie dragon is now berserk because that gravekeeper was not properly able to brainwash it. It can no longer differentiate friend from foe. I will help you put its noble soul to rest."
" I will do my best. Invigorate" Adrian replied.
Adrian healed his soulbounds and managed to drink a health potion before the abyss zombie dragon lunged at him. When the dragon mas only a few meters near Adrian, the dullahan flew out from his body and blocked the dragon with its body. Adrian lost the passive when the dullahan left his body but still did his best.
"Sirius Phantom Rush! Kanlaon use Fire Dragon's Breath whenever you can! "Adrian shouted
Sirius vanished and stared popping out of nowhere hitting the abyss zombie dragon. Kanlaon was aiming its breath at the abyss zombie dragon when it suddenly shook of the dullahan and fired its breath towards Kanlaon. The mixture of ice poison and fire created a steam explosion and released a shock wave that interrupted Sirius' skill and blew Kanlaon. Adrian and his soulbounds were damaged by the explosion but the dullahan's spear eerily glowed red. The dullahan threw its spear towards the abyss zombie dragon reducing its health by 10%. Adrian then noticed the concept of this boss fight. It was not for the player to kill the boss but the player must distract it so that the dullahan could deal a killing blow since when Sirius tried to damage the dragon, the damage only numbered in the tens.
"Sirius, Kanlaon distract the abyss zombie dragon. Mister dullahan would be the one to aim for the kill." Adrian commanded.
The spear was still stuck on its bone that the dullahan threw it to. Adrian's new objective was to take back the spear. So he flew towards it without hesitation. The abyss zombie dragon seemed to notice Adrian and roared. Just the wind pressure from the roar caused Adrian unable to remain steady in flight. Adrian then asked the dullahan when can he perform the spear throw and the dullahan answered with five minutes. Adrian must hold up for twenty more minutes so that the dullahan could finish off the abyss zombie dragon. Adrian tried to once again retrieve the spear but the abyss zombie dragon was not letting him so he ordered Kanlaon to coil up the abyss zombie dragon to impede its movement.
Kanlaon coiled its body with the abyss zombie dragon even though it was half the size of it. The abyss zombie dragon was struggling to move then Kanlaon fired its breath at it and a scream of pain was heard. Kanlaon was able to take 2% of its hp with one breath which is already a lot considering the high health of the abyss zombie dragon. The abyss zombie dragon was about to fire its breath when suddenly Sirius suddenly summoned a portal in front of it and dove into it while another portal appeared above the head of the abyss zombie dragon which Sirius emerged and clawed the eyes of the abyss zombie dragon. The breath attack that the abyss zombie dragon was cancelled as it was in pain.
[Sirius learned Portal Assault]
Sirius managed to learn another skill which delighted Adrian but he still focused himself towards the boss monster. Adrian managed to retrieve the spear and toss it to the dullahan. The abyss zombie dragon managed to shake of Kanlaon but the spear once again glowed red and the dullahan struck its neck this time. The abyss zombie dragon was not able to scream in pain because of the spear and was stunned. Adrian and his soulbounds bombarded the boss monster while it was stunned. The abyss zombie dragon was thrashing about when the stun wore off and damaged Kanlaon and Sirius critically. Adrian's soulbounds were out of stamina and could no longer stand up properly. Well in Kanlaon's case fly properly.
The abyss zombie monster has only 15% of its health left so Adrian charged towards the spear in an attempt to retrieve it but was flicked like bug with the abyss zombie dragon's tail which critically injured Adrian. The dullahan then glowed and its blue flame surrounded its body and said something to Adrian.
"Young Asmodian, I will sacrifice my remaining soul force to deal with the abyss zombie dragon. When I am holding it down, plunge the spear deeper into its reverse scale to finish it off"
Adrian only nodded. The dullahan jumped and landed at the back of the head of the abyss zombie dragon. Its blue flame spread out and burned the abyss zombie dragon's body. The abyss zombie dragon tried to throw off the dullahan but was unable to because of the strong grip. Adrian flew far away in order to build momentum and started running and shot off like a comet. Adrian also used his wings to propel him further and faster forward. The abyss zombie dragon saw Adrian but was unable to dodge because the dullahan's flame became even hotter. Adrian put his right fist forward while keeping his left fist near his shoulder. When he was nearing the spear a notification popped up.
[Player Equinox learned Assault Charge]

Effect: Deals 100% to 250% physical damage to the target dependent on the distance traversed.

Adrian smiled but the abyss zombie dragon's eyes showed terror. The boss monster tried to once again shrug off the dullahan but was unable to. Fiercr determination showed in Adrian's eyes as he used both fist in front to plunge the spear deeper. The abyss zombie dragon's eyes showed clarity and looked at Adrian with eyes of appreciation in its final moments. The dullahan now achieving its goal went near Adrian with its armor creaking and bowed to Adrian and thanked him.
"The inheritance is there at the altar. Please keep the relic safe in place of my master. Though the burden is great, I wish you would forever keep it safe. Keep my master's legacy living by using his inheritance. Thank you brave young Asmodian." the dullahan said as his armor finally broke and he returned to dust.
