Chapter 77

Explode, shield!

Luo Chenyu didn't hesitate for a moment, directly activating 【Steel Shield】, just for the taunt effect upon activation!

His goal was never to hold out for 20 minutes!

Boom!!!

-26652!

After 【Steel Shield】 advanced once more, the shield's explosion damage multiplier was nearly 8x.

Of course… he wasn't clear on how the damage was calculated either.

Being able to deal such damage, at his level, was already absolutely terrifying.

In terms of single burst, he wouldn't lose to Facing Ye Xingtong, who possessed an SSS-grade staff!

The moment the burst ended.

The BOSS's normal attack also arrived.

A massive maw bit straight toward Luo Chenyu.

The dark shield shattered in an instant, but the biting momentum was blocked by his enormous shield, so he didn't take direct damage.

However, his HP was still bitten down by 100 points.

"Holy shit!! Normal attacks carry true damage?"

Luo Chenyu's face was full of surprise — worthy of a Tier 3 nightmare BOSS, its strength was not to be underestimated.

This was his first time encountering a monster with true damage.

Getting hit, it hurt plenty!

"Sun Zi, wanna eat me? Better hope your teeth are hard enough!"

Luo Chenyu didn't waste words either. Taking advantage of the taunt duration, he directly activated 【Defensive Stance】 and went toe-to-toe with the BOSS!

The damage was still ferocious, but even though the BOSS possessed true damage, he felt no fear.

When getting attacked, he had HP recovery ability.

Moreover, 【Fortitude】 could also reduce true damage taken by 10%.

As the number of attacks received grew more and more.

After the shield's damage reduction stacked up, the shield he accumulated through attacking actually matched the BOSS's attack damage.

Meanwhile, his Constitution stat kept rising, meaning his third shield was about to appear.

The moment the taunt duration ended, 【Blood Skull · Earth Dragon】 let out a long howl toward the sky.

Its skill…

Was coming!

Within the BOSS's ferocious maw, a ball of ghostly green flame was condensing.

Luo Chenyu's brows knit tight, yet he showed no intention of retreating.

Instead, he slid forward with a sweeping kick, slipping beneath the BOSS's torso, and frantically attacked its chest.

With his Agility and Speed, trying to dodge the skill was nothing short of a fool's dream.

Rather than running, it was better to take advantage of the skill's charging time to slash a few more times and stack up some shield value.

At the very least, more practical than running.

Unfortunately, the "Taunt Aura" he wanted in his heart didn't work.

The BOSS's skill still spewed forth toward the ground.

Swallowing Luo Chenyu whole!.
