Chapter 457

He still chose a fifty-fifty split. After all, the Red-Clothed Young Lady's strength was plain for all to see — if she recovered her Origin Power, her strength would surely surge, and the help she could give him might be even greater than his own Soul Origin Heart.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

The Red-Clothed Young Lady's voice was very gentle, even laced with a hint of bewitching power.

Luo Chenyu: "???"

If it were the little loli in red calling him "Daddy," he could grit his teeth and accept it.

But the Red-Clothed Young Lady…

This feeling… somehow felt improper.

"Call me Big Brother!"

"Okay, Daddy!"

Luo Chenyu: "……"

"Hehehe…" The Red-Clothed Young Lady's meaningfully suggestive laughter rang out, leaving Luo Chenyu even more speechless.

After the little red loli grew up, her intelligence grew a lot too!

However, faced with this situation, Luo Chenyu actually smiled.

His pet was different from anyone else's.

Other professionals' pets might very well betray them, but the Red-Clothed Young Lady simply couldn't.

The Mutation skill had already thoroughly overwhelmed the Red-Clothed Young Lady…

··· 0 begging for flowers··· 0

The monster-killing continued.

Time also slowly slipped by.

Ten minutes…

Half an hour…

One hour…

The black skeletons were endless, and Luo Chenyu's shield value was also endless. Later on, every basic attack could already instantly one-shot a Tier 8 black skeleton.

Moreover, he still had the leisure to use the other two 【Steel Shields】 to bombard, stacking his shield value.

Wide-area damage was the best choice for stacking shield value.

Finally, at the one-hour mark of the battle's start.

The mutation began!

The distant black skeletons actually began fusing into one another.

It gave off quite the "I'll form the head" mecha-transformation vibe…

"Finally, a big one is coming!"

The ceaseless fighting and killing did make him feel a bit bored, and the drops from these black skeletons really held no surprises.

At most, when a skill book appeared, it would cheer him up for a moment.

At this moment…

The appearance of a BOSS might give him unusual drops — you never know.

Can't beat it?

That's simply impossible!

With his current stats and shield value, even if a Demigod came, they'd have to swallow their bitterness.

Finally!

Amid a roar, a colossal black skeleton appeared, its stature even surpassing that of the Skeleton Giant from before.

The instant it appeared.

The massive black-skeleton BOSS's figure vanished on the spot.

Seeing this, Luo Chenyu's brows furrowed sharply.

He hadn't even had time to use 【Eye of Insight】 to probe the black-skeleton BOSS's details.

But…

It was already too late.

At this very moment.

He could only activate 【Eternal · Thunder Barrier】 and 【Ward】, to mount the most solid defense.

Faster than words could tell.

The instant the purple thunder barrier appeared, a massive black shadow materialized before Luo Chenyu, a pitch-black greatsword cleaving down from the sky.

BOOM!!

Blades clashed.

Luo Chenyu was completely unharmed, but the massive black-skeleton BOSS's HP plummeted by a chunk.

Counterattack — effective.

This effect was far better than the skill of the divine artifact 【Evil God · Soul-Devouring Chain】.

Most importantly, that damage was simply too high.

One counterattack shaved off as much as 30% of the black-skeleton BOSS's HP.

It also entered a stunned state.

To use one's own knife against oneself.

One could say 【Ward】 had been thoroughly mastered.

And at this moment.

Luo Chenyu's lips curved slightly upward. "Charge? Let this daddy show you what a real charge looks like!"

From the prompt, he learned the skill the black skeleton BOSS had used.

Waving a broadsword in front of Lord Guan.

How could anyone stand for that?

Normal attacks frantically "imbued with magic," until the defense-reduction effect appeared.

Only then did Luo Chenyu use the second stage of 【Savage Charge】!

Boom!!

A terrifying critical-damage number popped up, directly shaving off roughly half the black skeleton BOSS's HP.

Luo Chenyu was slightly stunned in his heart — this BOSS was absolutely not a demigod BOSS!

Otherwise…

There was no way it could be this fragile.

While stunned, he unleashed a frenzy of attacks, and together with the Young Lady in red, he completely emptied the black skeleton BOSS's HP bar in barely a minute.

Then…

Another mutation occurred.

Countless black skeleton mobs surged out from the plains, every last one of them pouring into the black skeleton BOSS's massive body.

Its HP instantly recovered.

Its aura grew even more violent!

A different prompt came into view.

Luo Chenyu: "…"

Good lord, this time there's a real game to play!
