Chapter 991: Aid from Dalian

Su Sheng stays put, Shield Raise!

Defensive Stance!

And at that moment, a mysterious white light wound itself around the three‑colored shield in Su Sheng's hand.

Ding~

System Notification:

Gained an elf blessing, Defensive Stance skill effect enhanced, damage‑reduction 50%, duration 60 minutes.

Defensive Stance's frontal damage reduction was only 30% originally, but once this skill activated it jumped straight to 50.

Su Sheng's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, special named Boss units are unreasonable, can be understood as hero units, while the ordinary nameless ones are just fodder minions.

And at that moment, the massive meteor hammer of the Demon‑armored Commander slammed down, Forceful Heavy Pressure.

Everyone stared intently at the action; as long as Su Sheng can hold it, they all have a chance to give it a try.

But if Su Sheng can't even hold it, then there's no point in trying.

This shows the importance of the core T position; without a damage‑absorbing T, there aren't enough lives to stack… when facing this kind of Boss.

Boom!

The meteor hammer collides with the shield, Su Sheng remains motionless.

-30885

Held it!

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, while those watching the live stream at this moment didn't look so pleased.

Over 30,000 damage, Defensive Stance provided a 50% mitigation, plus the knight base template's mitigation, plus some of Su Sheng's damage‑reduction methods.

All told, this Boss's hit should be around 70,000 damage.

This damage is far higher than that of the previous Shadow Leopard, showing the value of an 80‑level Commander‑rank Boss plus Demon Race units.

The original Shadow Leopard was an attack‑focused Boss, but an Elite Boss is an Elite Boss; the difference between tiers is night and day.

Previously we did encounter Commander-level Bosses, but compared to those they were just small Karami, whereas this one is a Commander-level Boss from the depths of the Demon Realm.

After multiple mitigation calculations, it was only 30,000 damage, but that's already outrageous…

Fortunately, while Su Sheng was riding a suanni, combined with the Holy Word Buff, Su Sheng's HP already surpassed the 200,000 threshold!

Su Sheng's base HP: 94720.

Feng Wu Jiu Tian's Holy Words can grant about a 48% boost.

94720*0.48=45465.6

94720+45465=140185

Just from the Holy Word Buff, Su Sheng's HP reached 140,000, and with the suanni's over a hundred thousand HP supporting the state, it can share 60%.

Su Sheng's HP directly broke the 210,000 threshold, which is why he was so comfortable holding the previous Shadow Leopard Boss.

If it were this Boss's own damage, Su Sheng might not survive; after at most three normal attacks his HP would be wiped out, let alone skills.

But now, as long as he maintains Defensive Stance and uses damage‑reduction methods, he can offset more than 50% of the damage. There's still a chance to hold it.

Moreover, the passive of the Colossal Battle Armor lets Su Sheng perfectly counter this Boss's size suppression.

In terms of size judgment, Su Sheng's size at this moment is not far behind that of the Demon‑armored Commander.

Thus size suppression does not exist!

Su Sheng then thrust a spear forward…

With this height difference, don't even think about exploiting a weak point.

Although Su Sheng is in Mounted State, he's only three to four meters tall, about half the height of the Demon‑armored Commander.

Fang!

But as Su Sheng's skill activates, another white spirit light wraps around the tip of his long spear.

Ding～

System Notification:

Your weapon received an elf blessing, all attack damage increased by 20%, skill effect trigger chance increased by 80%.

Puff~

-11021

Combined with Falling Demon Body, over 18,000 attack power, and a 2.4 skill multiplier, the spear somehow only dealt just over 10,000 damage.

But the Rend effect triggered directly!

At the same time, a special white spirit light wrapped around the Demon‑armored Commander, whose body emitted black fumes.

Ding～

Combat Prompt:

Attack hits, inflicts the opponent with an elf curse, all attributes reduced by 10%, duration 10 minutes!

Su Sheng's eyes lit up; this elf's natural magic is a blessing for humans, but for such demons it's definitely a solid curse.

Moreover, Dalian's rank exceeds that of this Demon‑armored Commander, so her curse taking effect is not surprising.

Very good!

Su Sheng showed a satisfied smile.

"Zhang Zhi begins arranging damage output! Keep the rhythm."

"Melee coordination, watch out for AOE skills."

Su Sheng tossed another Taunt, secured the hate, then said.

Understood.

Now that we've reached this point, Zhang Zhi naturally knows how to arrange the output rhythm.

Afterward, Shen Wang brought a group of melee fighters over, and the ranged professions also began to launch their attacks.

However, without exception, almost all of the attacks were just scratching.

Including Li Wenwan, who used to be the strongest damage dealer in PvE, her performance this time was also somewhat unsatisfactory.

However, afterward, Su Sheng used the guild channel to have several damage-oriented hidden classes all take purple-quality anti-magic potions.

Furthermore, while all magic classes took Monkey Wine, they also took blue anti-magic potions… It's not that Su Sheng is reluctant to use the purple anti-magic potion; it's simply that there aren't that many.

Only then did the output barely keep up.

Although the damage was relatively just scratching, because of repeatedly triggering Rend, and occasionally triggering the Phoenix Flame state.

The boss still had an elf curse on it, so the output was still able to keep up.

The boss's HP began to steadily drop.

However, what made Su Sheng a bit depressed was that the Magic Snake Deadly Poison Technique had no effect on this boss.

But overall, the boss's HP was still continuously decreasing.

Only after actually getting the hang of it did everyone truly understand how abnormal this boss is.

In short, it's absurdly tough!

Then, looking at the damage Su Sheng dealt, it far surpassed the output of the magic users.

On the contribution list, not only was he first in damage taken, but also first in damage dealt.

Su Sheng had originally worried about what to do after the buffs granted by the elves wore off…

After all, at first the boss was also easy to beat, only later would it become increasingly difficult.

Then Su Sheng realized he had been worrying needlessly.

Although, whether it's the elf status on himself or the elf curse on the boss, they both have a duration.

But as the battle went on, Su Sheng discovered that the various elf statuses on himself never really decreased in duration.

Almost every minute, the duration would be refreshed anew.

Well, it seems this Dalian is still doing his best.

He has been constantly refreshing his own buff.

As for the elf curse on the boss, it basically reactivates with nearly every attack of his…
