Chapter 380 - Baizhan Yusheng (1/2)

“Steel Forward Charge!”

The shield that Baizhan Yusheng raised was as thick as a wall and much larger than it originally was when they had met for the first time. Thick iron castings were covered with ancient polygonal cracks, just like the shell of an antediluvian turtle, which was extremely tough.

This shield was the model of the Sub-Legendary shield [Turtle Shield]! In Lin Jie’s previous life, this shield had once been ranked 4th on the Shield Rankings Board and had been rumored to be capable of evolving to the grade of Legendary. When Lin Jie had fought with Baili Xuanyuan in his previous life, he had held the Turtle Shield. When the shield was activated, it would wrap the person up completely, just like how an ancient turtle retreated back into its shell, and that pissed Lin Jie off!

There was a spike in the heart of the Turtle Shield, which existed as a backstory. It was rumored that it was the ossature formed when the ancient turtle was evolving to Legendary. Turtles were mollusks, but their physiques would undergo huge changes during evolution, hence hardening. However, the ancient turtle was under the attack of monster hunters during its evolution, thereby getting killed.

The hardy prick was tough as steel!

‘I would be cautious if the Turtle Shield had evolved into Sub-Legendary and produced the unlimited reflection skill. However, currently, it is still too weak.’ Lin Jie pondered about the shield’s attributes. Baizhan Yusheng’s Defense had reached 1,100 points, higher than Lin Jie, after being equipped with the turtle shield. Furthermore, the Turtle Shield possessed the deflection skill with which Baizhan Yusheng had planned to consume all of Lin Jie’s energy previously.

In the midst of Lin Jie’s thought process, the mini giant, Baizhan Yusheng, had already closed the distance between them. A layer of fog rose and covered the surface of the shield, instantly filling up and smoothing the cracks.

‘Mirror of Deflection?’ Lin Jie was mildly surprised. That was the shield’s Epic Skill, which was able to undergo Block Judgement once and deflect the attack fully. It was a strength-leveraging skill that was particularly useful against jobs that had a high output but low health points, such as Berserkers and Bandits.

“Life Growl, Battle Desire, Fighting Spirit!”

Baizhan Yusheng grew in size following every growl, and his veins began swelling up like worms. His health bar increased by 700 points, Strength Judgement was boosted by 50%, and he smashed his shield towards Lin Jie!

The series of moves was a combination of defense, counterattack, and suppression! It restrained the opponents by deflecting their attacks and inflicting damage on the opponents if they chose not to retaliate. Furthermore, Baili Xuanyuan, whose strength was unknown, was a dangerous entity as well.

In the face of Baizhan Yusheng’s huge attack, Lin Jie made a move!

He wielded his Broken b=Blade and pierced blandly towards Baizhan Yusheng.

Ding~

The blade collided with the shield.

“Lone Wolf, you are really something! You have indeed seen through and understood that my attack was the Mirror of Deflection that was capable of deflecting the full damage of an attack, so you used a normal attack against me, right? However, you probably did not expect my skill to be enhanced. Thus, it does not take into account any defense during deflection, die! Mirror of Deflection!” Baizhan Yusheng yelled as he raised his shield up high and pressed it down towards Lin Jie!

“Idiot, you will have to go through Block Judgement before deflection can occur.” Lin Jie grew frosty, and Death Light rays were blasted out again from his blood-red eyes while strength seeped into his arms. He flicked Broken Blade, and Baizhan Yusheng flew out after being tossed and stabbed.

The theory behind the Mirror of Deflection was an enhanced block. Once an attack passed through the mirror’s Block Judgement successfully, the Block damage would evolve to ‘attack reduction and deflection’. Therefore, this would not be effective against Lin Jie’s Death Light Helmet.

Attack break!

-1,029!

When faced with the opponent’s Parry and Strength Judgement during blocking, if judgment was successful, the attack would be broken, and 200% damage would be inflicted.

Lin Jie’s Strength Judgement was already ranked amongst the top, with the boost from Kiara Beast King Armor and Broken Blade. So long the Boss was Gold and below, Lin Jie would be invincible. Jobs that relied on blocking such as Shield Specialist would be helpless against Lin Jie!

“Hunter’s Forward Charge!”

“Shield Cut!”

A golden hue covered Broken Blade as Lin Jie pursued and sliced towards Baizhan Yusheng’s throat. If the latter was to raise his shield, its effect would be nullified by the Death Light Helmet, and Baizhan Yusheng would suffer double the damage. However, if he did not block, he would die!

“Red Lotus Knight Slash!”

At that moment, Baili Xuanyuan, who had been restraining himself, yelled out, and a 5-meters long blood-red sword sliced through the air!

Red Lotus Knight Slash! Baili Xuanyuan had been agglomerating this skill since the battle began, this was also his strongest skill. It had basic damage of 40%, and the damage would increase to 300%, disregarding Defense if the chanting lasted longer than 10 seconds.

If Lin Jie did not have the Death Light Helmet, which managed to nullify Baizhan Yusheng’s blocks, the coordination of those two men would land Lin Jie in a sticky situation.

However, all of those were useless now.

“Get over here!”

Lin Jie raised his hand, activating Water Surge, and Baili Xuanyuan was blasted over the water currents. He was about to agglomerate the skill again when roars sounded at his ears.

“Red Lotus Resistance!” A smile flashed across Baili Xuanyuan’s face as he activated the Red Lotus Resistance, and he would be immunized against a crowd control skill once. This would definitely be outside Lin Jie’s expectations! He dipped his long sword as he agglomerated the Red Lotus Knight Slash again.

Dragon’s Roar!

Outraged Roar!

Ice Spirit Slash!
