Chapter 284

And Luo Chenyu actually held back.

This was completely inconsistent with his nature.

As time passed.

The roaring continued.

Suddenly… beyond the now-familiar roar, a different sound reached the Dwarf King's ears.

Boom!!

It was a dull, muffled explosion.

"Did the 【Dark Demon Blood Array】 break?"

The Dwarf King lifted his head toward Luo Chenyu's direction—and as expected, the black barrier of the 【Dark Demon Blood Array】 had vanished.

His soul's origin heart's aura grew increasingly intense.

A look of delight appeared on the Dwarf King's face.

The time until his resurrection was growing shorter.

Yet, thinking of the problem of repairing his soul's origin heart, his expression turned troubled.

"I hope the things I found earlier are enough—otherwise, this will be trouble."

………………

And at this moment.

Luo Chenyu's eyes widened, his pupils constricted—what he saw left him stunned.

Inside the 【Dark Demon Blood Array】, a wasteland, with massive craters scattered chaotically across the ruins.

In his line of sight.

Two colossal figures stood motionless amid the ruins.

Their gazes were fixed entirely on the sudden arrival of Luo Chenyu.

Their eyes brimmed with boundless joy and confusion.

The Dwarf King was right—the 【Dark Demon Blood Array】 did contain an old acquaintance.

But it wasn't the Golden Lion King.

It was the other colossal entity that had been facing off against the Golden Lion King—the skeleton giant he'd encountered in the ruins of the Bone Throne.

"How is it here?"

"How is he here?"

Both Luo Chenyu and the skeleton giant thought this question simultaneously.

As the saying goes: enemies meet, eyes flare with rage.

The skeleton giant instantly erupted in fury.

It was this human dwarf who had blown up its home, sent it tumbling into a spatial rift, then dumped it into this godforsaken Dragon Abyss within the 【Dark Demon Array】, and forced it into a pointless battle with the Golden Clan's lion.

The worst part…

Both of them had lost immense power—and neither could defeat the other!

The battle had lasted three full days…

Just as they'd stopped fighting, this human dwarf appeared again—unbelievably persistent.

Whenever he shows up, trouble follows.

"Hehehe… you've come at a perfect time!!"

The skeleton giant's eerie voice rang out, thick with boundless rage.

"What a coincidence…"

Luo Chenyu mentally groaned—the skeleton giant's power level was completely invisible to him, even his mutated 【Eye of Insight】 couldn't pierce its true strength.

That meant.

The skeleton giant's power had surpassed Tier 9 limits.

Demigod?

Or a deity?

"Human?" The Golden Lion King also turned toward Luo Chenyu, and at the same time, he sensed a familiar aura—his lips curled slightly upward.

It was the Dwarf King's aura.

He knew…

Reinforcements had arrived!

"Elder, let's kill this skeleton!"

Luo Chenyu didn't hesitate—he immediately activated countless defensive skills, just in case the skeleton giant launched a sudden attack.

As Luo Chenyu spoke.

The Golden Lion King instantly transformed into a massive lion and lunged at the skeleton giant.

Luo Chenyu: "…"

The skeleton giant: "???"

The Golden Lion King was indeed straightforward—no words, just attack!

Luo Chenyu immediately reacted, casting a "weakened" version of the 【Steel Shield】 onto the Golden Lion King to boost his damage!

Simultaneously, he activated all his aura abilities.

Activated 【Barbaric Charge】—forward without hesitation!

A chicken challenging a tiger?

No—with over three billion shield points, he would never back down.

Besides, the Golden Lion King was a teammate, so he wouldn't just let the Skeleton Giant attack him.

Therefore...

Just charge in recklessly!

The Golden Lion King and the Skeleton Giant had been battling for three days, and by now they knew each other inside out. Moreover, both were already grievously wounded, so originally neither could do anything decisive to the other.

However...

Under Luo Chenyu's 【Steel Shield】, the Golden Lion King suddenly became ferocious.

Setting aside the shield value...

That mere 150% damage boost alone was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, posing a fatal threat to the Skeleton Giant.

Sure enough.

Under the Golden Lion King's frenzied assault, the Skeleton Giant was hard-pressed to cope and had no time at all to deal with Luo Chenyu scraping away at its feet.

When attacking the Skeleton Giant—

Luo Chenyu was also utterly speechless. Despite possessing a shield worth three billion, the damage he dealt to the Skeleton Giant couldn't even compare to the amount it auto-recovered.

What was even more outrageous was that the stun from 【Savage Charge】 had absolutely no effect on the Skeleton Giant.

It really was...

Beneath a demigod, all are but ants.

The only thing that gave Luo Chenyu joy was... as he attacked, the Skeleton Giant's health bar finally appeared.

There's still 13% health left now!

Racking his brain over all his abilities, it seemed none of them could pose a fatal threat to the Skeleton Giant.

"Whatever, let me scrape off some damage first!"

If the Golden Lion King could kill the Skeleton Giant, then the damage he dealt could also be converted into gains.

And at this moment...

The Golden Lion King was also full of astonishment in his heart. He hadn't expected that this seemingly weak human actually possessed such an unbelievable shield ability, one that could even affect a deity like himself!

Hmm...

Although now he had already weakened to the level of a demigod!

"Finish this fast!"

The Golden Lion King figured his current state wasn't suited for a prolonged battle, and wanted to end the fight while the Shield Duration was still active.

The next moment.

The Golden Lion King suddenly let out a roar. Golden energy gathered at his brow, and in a flash it struck the Skeleton Giant's chest dead-on.

Boom!!

The Skeleton Giant's body flew backward like a tuft of cotton in the wind, slamming hard into the ground and adding a massive crater to the already devastated earth.
