100: Chapter 100 [Molten Shield] Second Form! [Flame Barrier] successfully activated!

After the entry reached legendary rank, the newly acquired effect left Zhang Jian somewhat disappointed.

The fact that this buff was even calculated separately surprised him a little.

However, the endless sea of monsters surrounding him filled him with fighting spirit again.

Why worry about all that? Better to just get to work!

"You have completed 48 effective normal attacks, the entry effect of [Combo Resonance] has been upgraded."

"You have completed 120 effective normal attacks, the entry effect of [Combo Resonance] has been upgraded."

In this wave of monsters, there were a full 20 Leaders and 10 Elite monsters.

Quite a few were right in front of him.

He was immersed in the attacks, unable to extricate himself.

If he hadn't heard the cries for help from Wang Fei and Wei Donglai, he would have been completely lost in it.

Returning to the furnace, he discovered that an excellence rank Boss had snuck in here.

Wang Fei and Wei Donglai were both low on Health, and the furnace was wobbling, on the verge of destruction.

He looked at the furnace and found that Wei Donglai had already upgraded it to level 19.

The total Health had reached as high as 38,000 points.

However, this dual-wielding excellence rank Boss had gained [Hells Power], which increased its attack power by 4 times.

Its original 350 attack power had directly turned into a monstrous 1,400 points.

Not only could it make Wang Fei and Wei Donglai scream with every casual strike.

It even threw two single-target skills directly at the furnace.

This directly resulted in the furnace ending up in its current state.

Even though the two had upgraded [Molten Shield] to level 7, which automatically restored 0.7% of the maximum Health per second.

Converted, it could offset one normal attack from the Boss every 6 seconds of restoration.

But the siege from other monsters made it difficult for the two of them to cope.

While blocking the monsters' attacks, Zhang Jian checked the status of the furnace.

Over the first 6 stages, they would normally have obtained 2,100 points.

With the two extra bonuses, it was as high as 6,300 points.

Wei Donglai had only used 2,200 points for the upgrades he just performed.

He called Zhang Jian back because the furnace had reached level 19, and further upgrades presented branching choices that he didn't dare to make on his own.

"You consumed 300 points, the furnace has been upgraded to level 20."

"[Molten Shield] automatically upgraded to level 8."

"You can activate [Ember Burst] and [Flame Barrier]."

Zhang Jian thought for a moment and activated [Flame Barrier] first.

[Flame Barrier]: When the furnace's Health drops below 30%, it automatically generates a barrier with damage absorption, which can reduce the damage received by the furnace by 20%.

Zhang Jian had Wei Donglai continue the upgrades.

At level 23, they upgraded [Flame Barrier].

The damage reduction ratio became 30%.

After upgrading to level 28, [Flame Barrier] reached level 3, and the ratio became 40%.

Wei Donglai didn't have enough points to continue, so Wang Fei took over.

After consuming another 2,000 points to upgrade to level 30.

[Molten Shield] automatically upgraded to level 9, adding a second form that can be manually activated.

Consuming 1,000 points temporarily increases the automatic Health restoration speed by 10 times for 5 seconds.

Wang Fei's heart stirred, "That's quite cost-effective!"

At this point, the furnace's Health had increased to 80,000.

The level 9 [Molten Shield] could restore 720 points per second.

After activating this form, it could restore 7,200 points per second.

In 5 seconds, it could recover nearly half of its Health, which was indeed very practical.

[Flame Barrier] also reached level 4.

It had a full 50% damage reduction effect.

The group even specifically tested it by letting the furnace continue to be attacked until its Health dropped below 30%.

They found that attacks from normal monsters could basically only cause damage in the hundreds.

Even for the excellence rank Boss, its normal attacks were less than 800 points.

It could basically be automatically restored within one second.

Even if the Boss unleashed a skill attack, they could withstand several hits.

There was no longer the risk of it being destroyed instantly like before.

With the furnace's effect being so good, Zhang Jian wished he could use all three of their points to upgrade it.

But starting from level 30, each level upgrade required 1,500 points, which was five times the cost before level 20, and three times the cost before level 30.

The cost-performance ratio was already very low.

It was better to save them, so they could use the second form of [Molten Shield] at any time.

With the furnace handled, Zhang Jian left with peace of mind.

Even if the two couldn't stop the monsters in time, as long as the furnace wasn't destroyed, there was still hope of clearing the stage.

Throwing himself back into the ocean of monsters, Zhang Jian began his painful yet happy work again.

The pain was not being able to use skills, looking at a huge pile of monsters and only being able to hit them one by one, which was despairing.

The happiness was having so many monsters that could be used to upgrade entries.

Watching the notifications from the entries from time to time, the happiness still diluted that pain.

Furthermore.

It wasn't just the [Combo Resonance] entry that was improving.

[Sword Qi Gale] was also constantly growing.

Every monster in here was empowered by [Hells Power], and quite a few had increased attack speed.

Sometimes, Zhang Jian could receive dozens of hits in an instant.

If it weren't for the high priority of the [Sword Qi Gale] skill, and the fact that the Sword Qi shield wouldn't be canceled or weakened, he would have really struggled to cope.

Previously, when farming the [Dungeon] [Abandoned Factory], he would quickly kill the monsters to pursue speed.

He rarely received attacks.

As a result, this entry didn't improve much.

In the previous few waves, it had been smooth, and the occasional attacks received were quickly restored by Wei Donglai's skills.

It only slightly increased the progress.

In this wave, he had to face every monster alone.

While killing them, he would basically receive several hits.

This caused the progress to improve rapidly.

"Your [Sword Qi Gale] blocked an attack from a Leader monster 12 levels higher than yourself, progress + 16384."

"Your [Sword Qi Gale] blocked an attack from an Elite monster 12 levels higher than yourself, progress + 40960."

Just by killing most of the normal, Leader, and Elite monsters, the entry upgraded again.

[Sword Qi Gale] (excellence) (+7) LV: 5

During combat, it automatically adds a Sword Qi shield effect equal to 2100% of Health. While the shield is active, gain 45% damage reduction. When the shield is broken, gain 4.5 seconds of invincibility.

(Entry quantity upgrade still requires: Use this entry to block 10158 / 10000000 attacks)

(Entry quality upgrade still requires: 3 legendary rank defense skill books)

Looking at the progress of up to 10 million points, Zhang Jian shook his head.

This level should be very difficult to improve, better to focus on killing monsters and strive to clear the stage.

But just as he was thinking this.

-660 (Reduction 540)

-825 (Reduction 675)

Two fireballs of different sizes smashed over instantly.
