Chapter 561

Various damage notifications followed in quick succession.

Luo Chenyu frowned.

The strength of 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】 is indeed at Tier 10's limit—its added negative status effects are truly numerous.

Most of them were immune to Luo Chenyu.

But…

Several purple-gold (forbidden) control effects still clung to his body.

For example, the debuffs reducing attack speed and physical attack percentage were particularly annoying.

However, at this stage, he was not panicked.

The most important thing right now is not to kill 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】, but to complete the damage absorption task.

Stand and tank!

Brawl back!

It was hard to imagine this was a duel between a protection warrior and a fury warrior.

The brown and black spiked clubs moved like lightning.

Like two streaks of different-colored light, they sealed off the surrounding space.

Neither man nor monster held back.

Both spiked clubs struck at the most vulnerable spots, with sharp angles and high damage.

In fact,

Luo Chenyu himself was deeply surprised by the damage types of 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】.

It dealt not only extremely high physical damage, but also substantial true damage and absolute damage.

In addition,

It carried a special type of damage.

Shatter Force.

Not rule-based power, yet better than rule-based power.

This damage ignored shields entirely and struck his body directly—even 【Steel Shield】 could not block it.

Each trigger drained nearly 50% of his health.

No wonder it's a Tier 10 limit—insanely strong.

But…

Luo Chenyu was no pushover.

Just from basic attacks, the life drain was enough to fully restore his health.

Moreover, the trigger rate of Shatter Force was not high.

So…

There was danger, but nothing serious!

Luo Chenyu followed one principle:

If 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】 didn't use a skill, he wouldn't use a skill to counter.

But this had a drawback.

【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】 had not yet used its key skills.

Its true nature…

Had not yet been revealed.

"Wait. When I finish this task, it'll be your Doomsday!!"

………………

Deep within Doomsday City, black crystal… 0

The unknown powerhouse: "..."

He truly hadn't expected Luo Chenyu's strength to be this terrifying.

He could fight 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】 evenly—that's a Tier 10 limit expert!

Even a pseudo-god…

No, even a weaker deity had a chance to kill it.

Now,

The battle had become a brawl between two "brutes."

Childish chaos.

"That kid must be completing the second round, second loop of the 【Doomsday Shield】 damage absorption task!"

"I never thought… you'd skip the Immortal Fire Array and choose the harder No. 18. Impressive!"

"By the way, what's going on with your skills? Insane shields, absurd defense, insane damage… this isn't something a normal protection warrior could achieve?"

"What's causing all this?"

"I really want to capture you and study you thoroughly."

Watching the battle between Luo Chenyu and 【Doomsday City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】,

The unknown powerhouse's consciousness within the black crystal kept generating new thoughts.

Yet in the end, he upheld Doomsday City's rules.

He did not interfere.

After all…

He wasn't a good man, nor was he a complete villain.

"Compared to studying that little guy, I'm even more eager to see the expression on my main body's face when it finds out—hahaha..."

………3.1………

Time slipped away second by second.

Luo Chenyu realized…

If he continued like this, he only needed to hold on for five more minutes to complete the trial's goal.

Of course, the 【Undying City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】 did not actually deal 1000 billion shield damage.

Rather…

The damage his main body received was also substantial.

Among the 100 billion "true" damage absorption targets, it even exceeded the damage absorbed by the 【Steel Shield】, 【Unyielding Resolve】, and 【Eternal · Lightning Shield Wall】.

"Perfect!!"

Luo Chenyu became excited.

He had chosen the right opponent—this kind of opponent was truly once-in-a-millennium.

At least, among the enemies he had encountered.

The 【Undying City Guardian Soldier · Eighteen】's strength was undoubtedly among the top three.

"Little guy, hit harder—don't go easy on me!"

"…"
