Lin Feng's gaze did not shift away from Mordred.

He noticed that a faint purple light lingered around the Necromancer.

That wasn't a spell effect, but the luster of a Purple Set; a Mage's Purple Set was different from a Warrior's.

He quickly recalled the information he had looked up from Blue Star in his mind.

【Purple Set Effect · Mage-type】

Base Bonus: Mana +1000

Passive Skill: Mana Shield. Converts 100% of maximum Mana into a shield. After leaving combat, the shield automatically restores 1 point per second.

Active Skill: Shield Resonance. Once activated, a purple light appears across the body. The shield gains a damage reduction effect equal to the caster's total defense. Duration: 3 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Lin Feng also thought of the Awakening effect when the Intelligence attribute breaks 60.

Effect One: Spell Deflection

(1) While holding a Mana Shield, gain the Spell Deflection ability, with an effect equivalent to Physical Block.

(2) The base probability of deflection is determined by comparing one's own Intelligence (Strength) and agility with the target's corresponding attributes.

(3) After a successful deflection, this instance of damage is reduced by an additional 30%.

Effect Two: Elemental Affinity

(1) Spell Power increased by 30%

(2) Mana consumption reduced by 30%.

Mordred is a Level 35 Rare Boss; his Intelligence must have exceeded sixty.

His Mana Shield value is at least over three thousand. Combined with Spell Deflection and Shield Resonance, he is almost an impregnable fortress for a short period.

Lin Feng quickly glanced at his own attribute panel.

Level 28, Strength 60 Awakening, Shield Break effect—ignores the defense provided by shields and all defensive special effects.

But Mana Shield is not a physical shield; the Shield Break effect is ineffective against it.

What he needs is high-frequency attacks to quickly deplete the shield value.

But the problem is that Mordred is not alone. An Undead Army of two thousand three hundred is closing in. Five five-hundred-man formations are flanking from four directions, and a rain of arrows is already prepared.

There are only seven people behind him: Jiang Zhaoyue, Shi Pojun, Zhao Hu, Tie Dun, Su Yurou, Feng Qingyan, and Jiang Yelan. Eight against two thousand three hundred; a direct confrontation would be suicide.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and made a decision.

"I'll use a skill to open a path for you in a moment. You guys evacuate quickly."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard him clearly.

Jiang Yelan stepped out from the shadows and stood by his side, the black blood of the undead still dripping from her shadow moon blade.

"Lord Lin, you're alone..." Su Yurou's voice tightened, and the light on her blue crystal staff trembled slightly.

"I have a way to escape." Lin Feng interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "Go."

He didn't give anyone else a chance to speak.

The spear tip pointed diagonally toward the weakest left wing of the Undead Army—【Beacon Fire City】!

A blazing Fire Meteor Spear Beam shot out from the spear tip, thrusting in a straight line and piercing through the Undead Phalanx.

The Undead Warriors in its path were sent flying, scorched by flames, their bones shattered, as a path about two meters wide was forcibly blasted open.

At the end of the path was an open plain five hundred meters away.

"Now! Go!" Lin Feng barked.

Jiang Zhaoyue did not hesitate. She grabbed Feng Qingyan's wrist and charged toward that flaming path.

Shi Pojun followed, carrying his Tower Shield to protect Jiang Zhaoyue's side, while Zhao Hu pulled Su Yurou's arm.

Jiang Yelan was at the very back, holding her shadow moon blade in a reverse grip, her eyes warily watching the undead swarming from both sides.

Lin Feng didn't run with them. He turned around to face Mordred.

At the same time, he activated the guardian belt at his waist—【Shield of Comrades】.

Two pale golden chains of light flew from his waist; one wrapped around Su Yurou's wrist, and the other around Feng Qingyan's waist.

The other end of the light chains merged into Lin Feng's body, and an invisible shield was established among the three of them.

The shield value was based on thirty percent of Lin Feng's maximum Health. His current Health was nearly three thousand seven hundred, so thirty percent was a shield value of one thousand one hundred.

This shield cannot be destroyed by active enemy attacks; it can only be depleted by sharing damage.

When Su Yurou or Feng Qingyan takes damage, the shield will automatically share half of it.

Feng Qingyan was running when a System Prompt suddenly popped up before her eyes: 【Shield of Comrades has been bound. Shield Value: 1090. Damage Sharing: 50%.】

She whipped her head back and saw that Lin Feng had already turned to charge at Mordred, leaving only his back visible.

The undead on both sides of the flaming path were trying to close in, but they were being scorched by the flames at the edge of the path and could not approach for the time being.

"Lord Lin, he..." Feng Qingyan's voice was scattered by the wind.

"Don't look back! Run!" Jiang Zhaoyue said sternly, pulling her forward with more force.

The rain of arrows arrived. The black feathered arrows of the Undead Archers covered the sky, like a torrential downpour.

"Shields!!!" Zhao Hu roared, raising his shield along with Tie Dun and Shi Pojun.

Three shields were held up side-by-side, forming a temporary barrier.

Zhao Hu and Tie Dun simultaneously activated 【Iron Wall Body】—consuming Stamina to gain a shield equal to thirty percent of their maximum Health.

Two earthy-yellow lights glowed from them and quickly merged, forming a translucent yellow light screen above everyone's heads, blocking most of the arrow rain.

But there were too many arrows. The light screen was rapidly depleted under the dense barrage and shattered in less than two seconds.

The remaining arrows struck the group.

Jiang Yelan's figure was like a phantom, weaving through the rain of arrows. Her high agility allowed her to dodge most of them, and the few that grazed her clothes were easily evaded.

Jiang Zhaoyue's silver moon sky spear parried rapidly, the spear tip knocking away one black arrow after another.

The shields of Shi Pojun, Zhao Hu, and Tie Dun were riddled with arrows, their surfaces full of holes, but they gritted their teeth and didn't retreat a single step.

On Su Yurou and Feng Qingyan, the pale golden shields lit up as arrows hit them.

For every arrow that shot toward them, the damage was split in two; half hit the shield, and half fell on them.

The shield value was dropping rapidly, but their Health bars remained relatively stable.

Su Yurou cast Healing Spells as she # Nоvеlight # ran, the pale golden light flashing alternately on everyone, slowly restoring the damage caused by the arrows.

Thirty seconds! It only took them thirty seconds!

To charge five hundred meters away!!!

The moment Feng Qingyan rushed out of the path, she turned back and waved her staff—【Wall of Fire】!

A fifty-meter-long Wall of Fire rose between her and the Undead Army, separating the pursuers behind the wall.

The flames burned fiercely. Undead Warriors charged into the Wall of Fire, their bodies catching fire as they stumbled and fell.

"Lord Lin is still over there!" Feng Qingyan shouted, her voice full of anxiety.

Jiang Zhaoyue stood by her side, leaning her silver moon sky spear on the ground, her gaze piercing through the Wall of Fire, staring fixedly at the high platform.

She didn't speak, but her knuckles turned white as she gripped the spear shaft.

Five hundred meters away, below the White Bone Platform, Lin Feng was fighting Mordred.

Mordred spread his withered fingers, and a Dark Ray shot out from his fingertips, aiming straight for Lin Feng's chest.

【Death Touch】.

Lin Feng dodged to the side, and the ray grazed his ribs, hitting an Undead Warrior behind him, who instantly turned into a pool of black water.
