Chapter 27

It used a skill!

Luo Chenyu felt his shield, and there was still over 800 left!

Don't dodge!

He made a decision to activate [Defensive Stance] and, facing the [Blood Skeleton · Giant Lizard]’s attack, stand and fight the elite monster!

Completely without attack skills, an extreme skill mode!

Normal attacks became his only supplementary means of damage.

Finally!

The skeleton tail swept over, and a dozen blood-colored bone spikes hit him at the same time.

"Ding, successfully triggered [Steadfast], increased Constitution attribute by 5%, current stacking count: 6!"

"Ding, successfully triggered [Steadfast], increased Constitution attribute by 5%, current stacking count: 7!"

"Ding, successfully triggered [Steadfast], increased Constitution attribute by 5%, current stacking count: 20!"

"Ding, Constitution attribute stacked to maximum, gained a shield equivalent to 100% of HP!"

Luo Chenyu ignored the prompts popping up in front of him.

The message in his mind was what he really cared about.

[Prompt: Your skill [Defensive Stance] feels that you are being attacked under its protection, and its mood begins to be excited!]

[Prompt: Your skill [Defensive Stance] feels that you are being injured under its protection, and expresses that it will try its best to protect you!]

Luo Chenyu: "???"

Is this guy sick?

He gets attacked, and this guy starts getting excited?

The continuous attacks shattered the shield, and two of the bone spikes hit his chest; that slight pain was real.

However...

[Defensive Stance]’s 70% pain reduction is indeed useful.

And the damage caused by the bone spikes was also very low, less than 10 points; that was the result of the combined effect of [Defensive Stance]’s increased defense and [Wild Bear Battle Shield]’s passive damage reduction.

Speaking of which, this was only the second time he had lost HP.

The first time was that "car accident"!

It's a pity.

The damage reduction effect of [Wild Bear Battle Shield] doesn't work on the shield.

The shield reappeared.

But Luo Chenyu didn't dare to be reckless.

Two shield explosions only caused nearly 7000 damage to the monster, and it still had over 3600 HP left.

The current shield value wasn't enough to blow it to death.

Continue attacking!

Take advantage of the defense reduction effect to cause more damage.

In the strange tree forest.

Ye Xingtong looked at the battle outside, dumbfounded.

Her Brother Yu is really reckless!

At level five, he dares to stand and fight a second-order difficult elite monster, and what's more outrageous is that he can tank it while causing decent damage.

You're a defensive warrior!

Not a berserker!

How long has it been, and that elite monster has already lost nearly 70% of its HP and is still slowly dropping.

If this were told to others, I'm afraid no one would dare to believe it!

But all of this was happening for real before her eyes.

"I don't know what kind of opportunity Stuffy got; that outrageous combat mode is definitely not the effect of a berserker bloodline!"

"Ever since he was knocked out last time, Stuffy has changed so much!"

Ye Xingtong thought about Luo Chenyu’s behavior over the past two days, and her doubts grew, but... looking at that strong back and reckless appearance.

A different look appeared in her eyes.

"This kind of Luo Chenyu is better than Stuffy, hee hee..."

"Roar!!"

The [Blood Skeleton · Giant Lizard] felt itself getting weaker and weaker, and suddenly roared, erupting with blood-colored flames from its mouth.

Blood Yama!

This strike.

Was its trump card skill, used when it was desperate.

Blood Yama is its exclusive skill, consuming origin power to burn the target and suppress the target’s life energy.

The so-called life energy is actually reducing the target’s HP cap.

The flames were activated instantly.

Luo Chenyu was helpless; he had too few skills, and facing this kind of overwhelming area-of-effect attack, he only had the path of tanking it head-on.

And [Steel Shield] had 2 seconds left on cooldown, so there was no way to activate the taunt and taunt aura.

"Heh, a mere elite monster wants to one-shot me while I'm in [Defensive Stance]!"

So what if I tank it!

The flames hit his body!

The [Steadfast] shield exploded instantly, taking away more than two thousand HP from the [Blood Skeleton · Giant Lizard].

With the shield explosion, Luo Chenyu felt his body being swallowed by endless flames.

"Ding, resisted the burning effect!"

"Ding, resisted the HP cap reduction effect!"

Prompts appeared one after another instantly.

His HP gradually dropped, and the next second, it returned to full.

Repeating like this.

The healing ability, under the effects of [Defensive Stance] and [Wild Bear Battle Shield], was simply terrifying.

Especially the continuous damage, which was more useful to him than recovery potions.

[Prompt: Your skill [Defensive Stance] feels that you are being attacked, and you are safe and sound under its protection; its mood is extremely pleasant, the skill has evolved, and a new skill effect has been unlocked!]

It's confirmed!

[Defensive Stance] is a masochist!

Luo Chenyu was speechless; it seemed none of his skills were normal.

When he activated [Defensive Stance], he was at full HP, and when [Defensive Stance] ended, he was still at full HP.

And this makes it feel pleasant?

Luo Chenyu shook his head speechlessly and activated [Steel Shield] again; it was time to end this short battle.

Shield Explosion!

"Ding, your team killed a level 20 difficult elite monster [Blood Skeleton · Giant Lizard], you gained 120,000 experience points!"

"Ding, your level increased by 1, current level LV.6!"

Luo Chenyu was still enjoying the battle process just now.

In the end, he still had to rely on the explosion of [Steel Shield].

No way, currently only this skill had absolute damage.

Others...

Better not mention them!

At this moment, his attention was drawn to the dropped items floating in front of him.

A second-order difficult elite monster dropped three items.

Unprecedented.

"Yay, Brother Yu, I leveled up again!"

An excited voice came from afar, "I realized a passive skill that increases magic damage, finally I don't have to lie flat anymore!"

Luo Chenyu was excited when he heard this.

Grinding monsters with two people is much faster than one.
