Gruen's attention was disrupted; it looked down at the mark on its chest, a hint of confusion flashing in its dark red eyes.
Lin Feng didn't give it ti to react, his spear ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) tip pointing diagonally at Gruen—Beacon Fire City!
A blazing fire teor shot out from the spear tip, heading straight for Gruen.
Gruen raised its shield to block. Although the block was successful, the knockback effect took hold, pushing it back a stumbling step with the fiery air current, and its block success rate was reduced by 50% for 1 second.
Lin Feng activated Beacon Fire City again, his body instantly vanishing from the spot and transforming into a streak of fire, appearing where the spear light landed.
The mont he landed, fire splashed out, and the ground within five ters was blasted with a ring of scorch marks.
Lin Feng gained a damage reduction shield that lasted for ten seconds.
He thrust his spear from behind, aiming straight for Gruen's lower back.
Gruen failed to block, and the spear tip pierced into its waist without resistance. "-550 (Prairie Fire Mark damage bonus)!"
Gruen roared and turned to swing its axe. Lin Feng used the damage reduction shield to tank an axe strike, "-200", then quickly pulled away.
Su Yurou's Healing Spell landed, " 190".
"It's working!" Tie Dun shouted.
Gruen's health bar dropped to eighty percent. It suddenly raised its battle-axe and threw it at Lin Feng.
【Battle-Axe Throw】!
The battle-axe spun in the air, carrying the sound of whistling wind as it flew in a straight line toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng sidestepped to avoid it; the battle-axe grazed his shoulder and smashed into the ground behind him, shattering the stone tiles and sending debris flying.
The battle-axe bounced up and spun back into Gruen's hand. On its return path, the axe blade scraped against Tie Dun's shield; with a "clang," Tie Dun was shaken back several steps again.
Tie Dun looked down at his shield and grinned: "This shield is really not bad!"
Gruen retrieved its battle-axe and suddenly opened its mouth, letting out a deafening roar—【Taunt】!
A visible wave of sound rippled out, enveloping everyone within fifteen ters.
Tie Dun and Zhao Hu's eyes turned red as they uncontrollably charged toward Gruen with weapons raised, their minds filled with the single thought of killing it.
Lin Feng was unaffected; his ntal Barrier and the yellow turban sacrificial officials headband kept him clear-headed during the Taunt as he continued to attack Gruen.
The Taunt lasted for three seconds. After three seconds, everyone regained their senses and retreated one after another.
Tie Dun's shield had a few more dents, but the cracks hadn't increased.
Zhao Hu's shield also had a few more scratches, but it was overall intact. Both of their health bars were still in the safe zone.
"Spread out! Don't attack from the front anymore!" Lin Feng shouted.
Tie Dun and Zhao Hu imdiately split left and right, putting distance between themselves and Gruen.
Arrow Eye and Wang Wu's arrows shot in from both sides. Although most were deflected by Gruen's shield, an occasional arrow or two hit its joints, taking away dozens of health points.
Jiang Yelan's figure flickered from the shadows behind Gruen, her shadow moon blade slicing across its back knee for "-252" before she imdiately vanished into the darkness.
Gruen's health bar dropped to sixty percent. It suddenly erupted, purple light surging out from its entire body.
【Armor Unification】! While the skill is active, damage is calculated based on total defense regardless of which body part is attacked.
Gruen's overall defense was already ridiculously high, and at this mont, it was practically a mobile fortress.
After Armor Unification was activated, the attacks from Tie Dun, Zhao Hu, Arrow Eye, and Wang Wu all hit Gruen, but they didn't even scratch its surface.
Only Jiang Yelan, stabbing from behind, managed to deal -90 damage by relying on the defense-ignoring effect of Shadow Step;
Lin Feng thrust his spear into its waist, taking away -270.
"Its Armor Unification is active!" Wang Wu shouted. "Hold it back! Don't fight it head-on!" Lin Feng yelled.
Tie Dun and Zhao Hu imdiately changed strategies, no longer actively attacking, but instead using their shields to block and stall for ti.
Gruen's battle-axe hacked down repeatedly, and Tie Dun blocked again and again, with 【Goliath Block】 helping him withstand most of the damage;
Zhao Hu blocked repeatedly, with 【Fang Counter-Stab】 reflecting twenty points of damage each ti.
Su Yurou's Healing Spell never stopped.
Lin Feng continued to look for opportunities to deal damage to Gruen.
Three minutes passed, and the purple light on Gruen's body suddenly dissipated; Armor Unification had ended.
Lin Feng raised his right hand, and another twenty Blazing Spear Lights shot out, taking away over four hundred health.
Lin Feng pressed the advantage, his figure turning into an afterimage as he went straight for Gruen.
The first spear thrust aid at the face but was blocked by the shield; the second thrust ca from the side but was again blocked by the shifting shield.
Two consecutive strikes were steadily intercepted, but Lin Feng didn't stop. Taking advantage of the gap while it moved its shield, his third thrust pierced fiercely into its waist, "-500".
Gruen's health bar dropped to twenty percent.
It suddenly raised its battle-axe and slamd it into the ground, sending debris flying and forcing Lin Feng back.
Then it slamd its tower shield into the ground—【Indestructible】! A golden light radiated from the shield's surface, enveloping Gruen entirely.
Entering an "Absolute Defense" state for 10 seconds; during this ti, it cannot move or attack, total defense increases by 300, and it recovers 30% HP after the state ends.
Arrow Eye's arrow hit its arm; damage negated.
Wang Wu's arrow hit its calf; damage negated.
Zhao Hu swung his blade; damage negated.
Everyone's attacks were completely ineffective.
Lin Feng looked at that layer of golden light, his brow furrowing slightly. He waited for ten seconds, and as the light faded, Gruen's health bar jumped from twenty percent back to fifty percent.
Its battle-axe was raised once more, its tower shield held across its chest again, and its chains rattled once more.
Its eyes were just as indifferent as when the battle started, as if the fight just now had been nothing but an illusion.
