I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 108 New entry: Monarch's Domain, we look forward to your visit.

Lin Yuan laughed loudly, raised his shield, and as before, only protected his vital points.

"Swish swish swish swish swish—!!!"

In an instant, Lin Yuan was engulfed by the green light of the blade.

The dense cutting sound was several times more terrifying than the mechanical puppet from before!

Hundreds of cuts per second!

Lin Yuan's defensive points were increasing in speed so fast that they formed a waterfall-like flow!

"Too fast!"

"Is this what it feels like to gain hundreds of points of defense per second?"

But those frantically attacking mantises are now facing their doom.

[Reflect damage triggered!]

[Damaged: 2719 points of true damage!]

[Reflect damage triggered!]

[Damaged: 2719 points of true damage!]

The faster your attack speed, the faster you die!

A fully healed Emerald Mantis only needs to attack Lin Yuan 13 times.

That is, less than 4 seconds.

It will cut itself to death!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Green juice splattered.

The mantises that had just charged forward died from their bodies exploding before they could even stack up the bleeding buff!

[Slay the Emerald Mantis (lv27)!]

[Experience gained: 4500 points (including bonuses for levels above the current level)!]

In the blink of an eye.

The corpses began to pile up at Lin Yuan's feet.

[Defense points gained: 78!]

[Defense points gained: 78!]

[Defense points gained: 78!]

Looking at the damage numbers [-100] and [-200] that popped up above his head due to the bleeding effect, he saw them.

His health points were decreasing, but because he was automatically recovering several hundred health points per second, the rate of decrease was not as fast as one might expect.

After all, he has over 40,000 health points!

"this one?"

In just three minutes.

The first wave of over a hundred mantises was completely wiped out!

Standing amidst the scattered limbs and broken bodies, Lin Yuan stared at the settlement data on the panel, his smile finally breaking out.

"In just a few minutes, 7,800 defense points have been gained!"

"This efficiency is more than twice as high as when we fought those clumsy dwarves!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the bleeding damage that had appeared on his body due to the "Tear" effect.

-1000 (bleeding)!

Even with 10 stacks of bleed, I lose 1000 health per second.

But he has medicine!

This amount of bleeding is completely within a controllable range.

It's worth mentioning that when he reached level 25, he gained a new gold attribute and skill.

[Entry: Monarch's Domain]

[Effect: Increases the range of all your skills, auras, and force fields by 10 times]

[Optional: Enable manually]

Among his skills, the active skills [Taunt], [Shockwave], [Guardian Barrier], [Savage Charge], [Shield Throw], and [War Stomp], and the passive skill [Knight's Dance] all have a range.

And now, it's increased tenfold!

It's scary to think about it.

The new skill is [Gravity Pull].

[Gravity Pull (lv1): Utilizes the shield's mass to create a high-intensity gravity vortex, forcibly pulling and attracting enemies in a fan-shaped area in front, dealing physical damage and causing a 1-second "weightlessness" stun. Range: 50 meters.]

This new term can also be applied to new skills, and its range has suddenly increased to 500 meters!

In addition, this is also a very good control skill for him.

This time, he gained approximately 45 experience points, but he didn't add them to his job level first.

Instead, it was added to Gravity Traction first, instantly raising Gravity Traction from level 1 to level 21!

[Gravity Pull (lv21): Utilizes the shield's mass to create a high-intensity gravity vortex, forcibly pulling and attracting enemies in a fan-shaped area in front, dealing physical damage and inflicting 2 seconds of "weightlessness" stun. Range: 70 meters.]

Only when a new skill is upgraded to the same level as the job level will the skill level increase along with the job level.

Then, he turned his gaze to the depths of the canyon.

Hidden there are even more and stronger monsters, as well as the dungeon boss, the [Sawtooth Giant Mantis Queen].

Deep within the canyon, in the core area.

As you venture deeper, the surrounding vegetation becomes increasingly sparse, replaced by massive, bizarre rocks and cliffs.

The air here is heavier, and the wind carries a suffocating sense of oppression.

The number of monsters has also decreased significantly; they are no longer the dense swarms of insects.

Instead, they are scattered in twos and threes on rocks, cliffs, and even on vines hanging in mid-air.

【Name: Sawtooth Giant Mantis (Elite Guardian)】

[Level: lv28]

【HP: 60000】

Attack Power: 2200

[Characteristics: Huge size, hard carapace, and capable of ranged wind blade attacks.]

Lin Yuan counted them roughly.

There are probably 50 to 60 of them.

Although their numbers are not as large as those on the outskirts, these guys are clearly more troublesome.

They were scattered in various places, some on the eastern cliffs and others in the western canopy.

The distance between them exceeded 100 meters.

If an ordinary shield warrior came here, they would definitely get goosebumps.

Because once you start engaging the monsters, you can only pull one or two, while the other mantises will hide in the distance and use Wind Blade to kite you like crazy!

Want to solve them all together?

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

"Heh, spread out?"

"And ranged attacks too?"

Lin Yuan stood on an open space, looking at the giant mantises around him who had already spotted him and were sharpening their knives, and sneered.

"In the past, I might have had to use my legs more."

"Thump!"

The earth trembled slightly.

"Gravity pull!"

A terrifying suction force erupted instantly, centered on Lin Yuan's shield!

Space seemed to distort at that moment.

"hiss?!!"

A giant serrated mantis, which was crouching on the cliff and preparing to unleash a wind blade, suddenly felt its body lighten, followed by an irresistible and enormous pulling force!

Its proud grappling hooks carved deep sparks into the rocks, but they couldn't catch anything!

Not just it.

East, west, in the sky, in the bushes

In that instant, all fifty-odd elite monsters scattered in various corners lost control of their bodies!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

They are like dust sucked up by a high-powered vacuum cleaner.

No matter how much they struggled, no matter how much they screamed.

They all flew towards Lin Yuan's direction against their will!

The scene was absolutely spectacular!

Dozens of giant praying mantises danced wildly in the air before crashing together and squeezing into a giant "insect ball"!

"boom!!!"

The insect ball slammed heavily onto Lin Yuan's shield, where it was firmly held in place!

All the giant serrated mantises fell into a state of weightlessness, becoming disoriented and unable to distinguish east from west.

"Is this the power of gravity?"

"It's really useful."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then raised his shield and gave the bewildered monsters a kind smile.

"Continue to activate the Monarch Force Field!"
