Chapter 375, New Skill – Guardian Flow

Translator: Silavin

 

Guardian Flow (Active, LV1): Applies a shield to self and friendly units, provides 30% Damage Reduction and Immunity to all Debuffs. Duration: 5 minutes. Effect is doubled if applied to those of the Dragon Race or teammates with Dragon Bloodline

 

It was another incredibly divine Skill! It provides a 30% Damage Reduction, and when used on Lu Fan and his Pet Dragons, it would provide 60% Damage Reduction.

 

The Pet Dragons have Dragon Skin, and just the Passive from Dragon Skin already provides a Damage Reduction of 90%. Combined with Guardian Flow, the remaining 10% of Damage would be reduced by another 60%. Effectively this means only 4% of Damage would be taken.

 

With the Dragons’ incredible Endurance Attribute, that 4% of Damage was basically a papercut. Even Bao Bao, who has the Lowest Level and Endurance Attribute, could probably tank attacks from a Level 90 Epic Boss without taking any Damage.

 

Moreover, this Skill has even greater significance for Lu Fan.

 

After transforming into the Golden Dragon King, Lu Fan has over 300K Endurance Attribute. Adding the Passive of Dragon Skin through Bloodline Sharing and Guardian Flow’s 60% Damage Reduction, Lu Fan’s defense might not be much lower than a real Golden Dragon King!

 

Now, when Lu Fan transforms into the Golden Dragon King, he has basically turned into a nation-destroying tank, able to withstand attacks from hundreds of Fourth Profession Players without injury!

 

[As expected of Xiao Cui. Whenever she gets a new Skill, it inevitably multiplies me and the other Pet Dragons’ Combat Power by a few fold!]

 

Outside Eternal Guardian, the bright yellow lightning continued to rage.

 

This time, no one competed with Bao Bao for Monsters so he thoroughly enjoyed his Monster-killing spree.

 

Nine Lightning Boundaries from Bao Bao almost completely enveloped the entire graveyard. Any Monster that got summoned was swept up by the lightning storm and obliterated.

 

Finally, after nearly fifteen minutes, Lu Fan sensed no more presence outside.

 

It seemed like although this graveyard had many Monsters lurking, they were no match for Bao Bao’s Clearing Speed.

 

By now, all the Monsters in the graveyard had been completely cleared out by Bao Bao. The only one remaining was the Shadow Excavator.

 

This Summoner Type Boss had no more Minions to summon, rendering most of its Skills useless. Moreover, its Attributes were not as high as Combat Type Bosses of the same Level, so it posed little to no threat to Lu Fan and the rest.

 

Lu Fan did not even need to personally take action – the three Fourth Profession Players that Andrei brought could kill it with Xiao Cui’s support.

 

Thus, Lu Fan told Bao Bao to tone it down and not make such a grand display.

 

Although reluctant, Bao Bao had thoroughly enjoyed killing so many Monsters. Also, he always obeyed Lu Fan’s orders. So after a light growl, he withdrew his Skills and flew back to Lu Fan’s side.

 

As the Lightning Boundary dissipated, everyone could see Shadow Isle Essence scattered everywhere, waiting to be collected.

 

Meanwhile, the Shadow Excavator at the gate was still alive but completely charred, bound by countless Lightning Chains covering its entire body.

 

Obviously, Bao Bao’s Lightning Boundary had dealt significant damage to it. Although it survived thanks to its thick hide, unlike the Shadow Sky Rippers which were instantly obliterated, it only had half its Health left.

 

Moreover, countless Lightning Chains greatly restricted its Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Casting Speed. The Shadow Excavator now moved as slow as a Turtle. Anyone with enough combat experience could easily read its movements and maneuver around it.

 

While he could leave this Boss to Andrei and the others, considering Experience Points distribution, Lu Fan decided to personally kill it.

 

“I’ll kill the Boss. You guys help me collect the Shadow Isle Essence on the ground.” Lu Fan said as he drew out his Flaming Meteor Sword. The Monsters here have all been cleared out, so only this Boss remains. It should be safe for you to move around the graveyard.”

 

Demon Feather looked troubled, glancing at the black shadow mist outside Eternal Guardian. He questioned, “But the shadow mist outside is too dense. If we leave the protective area of this Skill, our Attributes might be depleted in no time. Who knows what happens once our Attributes are completely depleted… we might even die…”

 

Lu Fan smiled and said. “You don’t need to worry about that. My Pet Dragon just learned a new Skill that can make you Immune to Debuffs for a while. I’ll have her keep refreshing the Skill’s duration for all of you, so everyone should be able to move freely in the shadow mist without worrying about your Attributes being depleted by Debuffs.”

 

Lu Fan commanded Xiao Cui to cast Guardian Flow on everyone.

 

Immediately, a flowing shield, like water, appeared around everyone, appearing gentle but incredibly tough.

 

Although Lu Fan said this Skill would make them immune to Debuffs, seeing how dense the shadow mist was outside, no one had the courage to step out of Eternal Guardian.

 

Only Ye Wuxian, after feeling the Effect of this Skill, chose to completely  trust Lu Fan and stepped out of Eternal Guardian.

 

Sure enough, the black shadow mist was completely blocked out of Guardian Flow, and her Attributes did not reduce one bit.

 

“This Skill is truly amazing, it really does make me Immune to all Debuffs!” Ye Wuxian was amazed, looking at Lu Fan with undisguised admiration.

 

The others, seeing Ye Wuxian step into the shadow mist without any discomfort, finally felt reassured and left Eternal Guardian’s protection to do what they could – help Lu Fan collect the materials.

 

Including Ye Wuxian, there were four Fourth Profession Players present, all collecting materials for Lu Fan. If news of this got out, it would surely shock countless.

 

Usually, collecting materials was the responsibility of the weakest members in the team. This was not about looking down on or bullying those weaker, it was just basic division of labor. The strong kill the Monsters, and the weak collect materials, nothing more.

 

For example, when Lu Fan previously ran Dungeon Instances with Jian Ying and others, Han Ke was responsible for collecting materials. But now, even Fourth Profession Players had become material collectors in Lu Fan’s team. How could this be explained?

 

Well, what could be done about it? Who told Lu Fan to be so strong?

 

While everyone was collecting materials, Lu Fan was riding on the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King, accompanied by Xiao Ye and Bao Bao. They attacked the Shadow Excavator.

 

The outcome was predictable – without Minions, the Shadow Excavator, who was already weak, could not possibly withstand the combined assault of Lu Fan and his three Pet Dragons.

 

In less than five minutes, the Boss was defeated.

 

At the same time, Lu Fan’s Mission Panel notified him that he had completed the mission.

 

A milky white light burst from the Shadow Excavator’s body, condensing before flying to Lu Fan’s side. It was presumably the Completion Reward.
