Chapter 158: How does it feel to watch your own son die?

【Ninefold Abyss】's entrance was at the moment the two formations activated.

The scene was utterly chaotic.

Within the black fog, people could not get out, and could only rely on the light brought by skill "effects" to fend off attacks from fierce beasts, demonic filth, and men in black.

Fortunately, the men in black were not many.

The main fighting force was still~ those fierce beasts and demonic filth.

But merely these Tier 4 and Tier 5 creatures of the night already gave them a world of hurt.

It came too suddenly, too violently, and in that instant truly caused no small amount of damage.

Fortunately.

Very quickly, under the lead of several university admissions teachers, they steadied their footing and set up an effective defensive perimeter.

In battle, casualties were unavoidable.

The very first to suffer casualties were those reporters who wanted "the scoop" more than their own lives.

But, there were still some exceptions.

"Uncle, thank you!"

The intern little reporter had already been scared out of his wits; standing in front of him was the pig farm boss, shielding him behind his back.

"Hahaha… Heaven sent me a nephew, this uncle will definitely keep you safe!"

The pig farm boss laughed wildly, then suddenly asked: "Nephew, you really won't consider coming to work at uncle's company?"

The intern little reporter: "……"

Within the defensive perimeter, he was safe for now, and out of habit took a red crystal stone from his chest to record everything around him.

That was a recording crystal his old man had spent a fortune to get for him to celebrate his graduation.

Now that all the mechanical equipment like cameras had crashed and could not record this battle, he was just trying his luck to see if it could be used.

He never expected that upon trying, it actually worked.

In just an instant.

He was overjoyed, and in his heart kept shouting: "Got the footage, just take it back, get promoted, get a raise, become editor-in-chief, marry the little flower next door, and from then on walk to the peak of life…"

………………

When the black fog descended.

Yu Zhilin had already drawn his blood-colored battle blade, striking a posture ready to meet the enemy at any moment.

Suddenly.

He froze.

"Ding, your teammate 【Luo Chenyu】 has added a damage-absorbing shield to you, duration: infinite!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Frenzy State', gaining 150% damage bonus while the shield persists!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Taunt Aura', gaining taunt ability while the shield persists!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Thorn Shield', gaining reflect-damage ability while the shield persists!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Full Stamina', gaining extra stamina recovery bonus while the shield persists!"

……

"Holy shit!!"

Yu Zhilin felt the shield value and the additional effects, and was truly stunned.

You call this a "damage-absorbing shield"?

A shield value of several hundred thousand — even a Tier 8 powerhouse couldn't stack that up!

Most importantly, this shield was actually added by Luo Chenyu; they hadn't even opened party mode, yet they were already recognized as teammates — simply unheard of.

And at this moment.

The fierce beasts, demonic filth, and men in black had already attacked.

"An old man in a sudden youthful frenzy — you rabble, come try whether my blade is still sharp!"

With Luo Chenyu's shield, he finally no longer had to worry about defense.

The Overlord Blade, purely in terms of damage output, even surpassed that of a berserker.

Moreover.

Luo Chenyu had given him a copy of 【Heaven-Slaying Single Strike】; the ability provided by its passive effect raised his output once more compared to before.

The blood-colored battle blade ran wild.
