Chapter 78

The emerald-green Long Yan Soul Bullet exploded on the ground, instantly spreading across the surface.

Hot?

No, the flames had no heat at all—instead, they were freezing cold.

Luo Chenyu stood tall on the ground; even as he felt bone-chilling cold, he did not pause his attack rhythm.

Just one second.

He felt his shield value had already dropped by over five hundred.

More importantly, the freezing flames burned his body, dealing true damage.

He could only attack frantically to keep his shield value rising.

Each basic attack drained nearly three thousand HP from the boss while restoring around three hundred shield value for himself.

This was only under dual-shield conditions.

If the shield from Savage Charge vanished, the newly gained shield value likely wouldn't withstand the flame's burn.

Moreover, after releasing Long Yan Soul Bullet, the boss began biting at him again.

Fortunately…

His health was still in a safe range.

Each burn triggered Grit and Resolve, instantly stacking his Constitution attribute to maximum!

A third shield appeared, easing his pressure.

Ignoring the excitement in his mind from Defensive Stance, Luo Chenyu directly shattered the Savage Charge shield.

Again, he drained over twenty thousand HP from the boss.

Less than ten seconds had passed.

Luo Chenyu had dealt nearly one hundred thousand damage to the boss.

This burst power was utterly inhuman!

And his own health was still nearly full.

Under these circumstances,

Ye Xingtong, watching from afar, was stunned speechless.

With the bonus from her exclusive skill Sunlight Array, plus the high stats and traits of her SSS staff, she might also deal such damage.

But…

To stand firm there was simply impossible!

This guy Luo Chenyu not only dealt terrifying damage but also remained unharmed under the boss's skills.

The damage from each basic attack nearly knocked her jaw off.

"I'm already this strong—why do I still always feel inferior to him?"

…

In truth, Luo Chenyu was also in a desperate struggle.

The boss's skill output was simply too high.

If he didn't attack, his shield value wouldn't recover fast enough; once the shield entered the Gap Period, that would be his most dangerous moment.

Every step he took was like walking on thin ice.

Finally,

The shield from Grit and Resolve was the first to crack, teetering on the verge of shattering.

"Break!"

Luo Chenyu didn't hesitate—he shattered the shield outright.

-13561!

As this damage appeared, a prompt suddenly flashed before Luo Chenyu's eyes.

"Ding! Nightmare Boss 【Blood Skull·Earth Dragon】 health reached 50%, triggering special skill: Death Roar!"

Luo Chenyu glanced at it once, then refocused entirely on the battle.

He swung his sword.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar power surge from his left middle finger—thick black mist engulfed his entire body.

That was…

【Abyss Ring】!

The "Abyss Battle Body" state was triggered.

"Roar!!"

As the boss let out a heart-rending roar, Luo Chenyu saw his shield value plummet and his health drop sharply.
