Chapter 260: Overwhelming Attack; Annoying Skill

Chapter 260: Overwhelming Attack; Annoying Skill

Lin Moyu had been relentlessly grinding the Poison Star Ring the past few days, finally leveling it up to level 10. Amplified by his talent, the level 10 Poison Star Ring could now inflict 4,000 points of elemental damage per second on the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle for 400 seconds. After accounting for the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle's elemental immunity, the damage was reduced to 40%. While this might seem minor, Lin Moyu had discovered another use for it.

When struck by a poison elemental attack, the target entered a poisoned state, which drastically reduced its natural regeneration. Many high-health monsters constantly recovered health every second, and if the damage output was insufficient, it might not even outpace their natural regeneration. However, once poisoned, their natural regeneration was suppressed. With a duration of 400 seconds, this skill was more than enough to last an entire battle.

Under the Poison Star Ring's effect, the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle was bathed in a green hue, especially around its head and tail.

As soon as Soul Blaze struck, the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle groaned, its body trembling violently. Soul Blaze attacked the soul directly, bypassing physical, elemental defenses, and even the two immunities. Amplified by the Damage Curse, Soul Blaze's power was terrifying.

The Battlefield Serpent-Turtle immediately shifted its focus to Lin Moyu, finding him far more irritating than the skeletons. The skeletons' attacks were mere pinpricks compared to the agonizing pain Lin Moyu inflicted. Ignoring them, it leaped into the air, bringing its massive claws down in a crushing blow.

Skill: Trembling Earth!

Lin Moyu's expression changed as he dodged at top speed. The claws nearly brushed him.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the mirror-like surface. Lin Moyu's Bone Armor shone brightly before shattering with a loud bang. The terrifying impact sent him flying. In midair, he quickly recast Bone Armor, his face pale with fear.

Its power was terrifying—only the Fire Demon King's death ray had ever surpassed it. It was a miracle that the Skeletal Warriors were only severely injured rather than instantly obliterated.

As soon as Lin Moyu landed, everything went dark, and a massive tail whipped toward him at blinding speed, leaving no time to dodge.

Skill: Whiplash!

"That should be enough." Lin Moyu thought as the back of his hand suddenly felt hot. The Primordial Rune's Enhance Troops skill activated.

Instantly, the Skeletal Warriors hacked away with greater vigor. Their strength attribute surged from 52,000 to 166,000, and with the Lich Generals' status buff, it reached 200,000, surpassing the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle. Combined with the 500% additional damage, their attack power soared to terrifying levels.

Skill: Berserk Strike!

Lin Moyu willed the Skeletal Warriors to trigger their skill. Red light surged, and a penetrating din filled the air as the shell shattered extensively, blood splattering into the air and turning starlight before hitting the ground.

Lin Moyu had timed the Enhance Troops skill perfectly to finish off the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle and end the battle. He joined the fight, his spirit attribute now at 60,000, greatly enhancing Soul Blaze's power. Combined with Enhance Troops' 500% additional damage, the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle emitted ear-splitting screams. It was now severely injured, near death. The Immemorial Rune's power shocked even Lin Moyu.

"I’ve got this!" He thought, elated.

But suddenly, the Battlefield Serpent-Turtle retracted its head, tail, and limbs.

Skill: Shell Block.

The Battlefield Serpent-Turtle emitted a faint glow, forming a shield around itself. The skeletons on its back were thrown off. Its injuries began healing at a visible speed. Specks of starlight fell from the sky, landing on its body. Even with the Enhance Troops' boost, the Skeletal Warriors couldn't breach its shield. Due to the glow binding the Serpent-Turtle to the world, Lin Moyu couldn't flip it over either.

What an annoying skill. Lin Moyu could only smile bitterly. Who could have predicted this outcome? Hiding in its shell, it was more of a cheat than a Knight's Extreme Defense. As its injuries healed, its aura grew stronger.

Lin Moyu made a quick decision: "Retreat!"
