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

The war cries of the humans drowned out the roars of the monsters, and the crisis in the core area was successfully reversed.

Within this vast defensive perimeter, the soldiers were in high spirits, continuously pushing the battle line outwards.

The high-ranking members of the Abyss Order and the Abyss Lord, who were hiding at the rear of the million-strong beast tide, finally discovered the anomaly in the Central War Zone.

They stood behind the main altar of the Nine Netherworlds, their gazes fixed somberly on that impregnable area.

They clearly saw that no matter how many low- to mid-level monsters were sent out, they could not completely break through the defensive line in the middle.

The monsters not only failed to inflict any damage, but were also suppressed by the human soldiers.

The elders of the Abyss Order immediately realized that a "variable" had emerged on the human side that was disrupting the balance.

Just then, a high-level Abyss subordinate managed to escape back from this abnormal area.

The subordinate, his face filled with horror, explained to his superiors the specific reasons for the anomaly in the central region.

"My lords, the situation at the front is very bad!" the subordinate reported, his voice trembling.

"Our attacks landed on those human soldiers, but they did almost no damage; they were all blocked."

"That's strange. Those ordinary soldiers didn't have such high defense before. It's as if the battle situation only changed after a human suddenly arrived in that area."

Because Lin Yuan's figure was always in the center, his position was very easy to find, especially for some demons with high mental attributes.

The subordinate who had managed to escape happened to be a mental-type monster, and he reported Lin Yuan, this variable, to the authorities.

Logically speaking, monsters with high mental attributes should launch mental attacks rather than physical or magical attacks.

Unfortunately, the skill description for [Knight Sharing] is that it shares defense bonuses, not armor and magic resistance.

Lin Yuan's mental resistance is naturally included in the defensive attributes!

However, most professions do not have a separate section for mental resistance on their profession panel, since it is not a primary attribute.

Of course, this category still exists for a few special professions, such as defensive professions that are more inclined to various resistance bonuses.

However, compared to the hundreds of thousands of points of armor and magic resistance bonus, these eight thousand points of mental resistance seem insignificant, and they didn't even notice them.

Only when they are attacked by mental skills and realize they are unharmed, do they not think about how they can withstand the mental attacks of these monsters in such a tense battle.

After hearing the report, the high-ranking members of the Abyss Order and several Abyss Demon Lords exchanged glances, their eyes filled with killing intent.

They decided to no longer delay and directly deploy high-end combat forces to eliminate this human who was influencing the course of the war, as they had to destroy Lin Yuan, the core of their defense.

Originally, they intended to use this million-strong beast tide to further deplete the human army's numbers.

They wanted to see if those powerful high-ranking humans could truly remain calm and refrain from intervening to help the soldiers below.

If they provide assistance and incur losses, it will be easier for them to kill Xue Dingbang and his group later.

But now it seems that there are too many variables in this core area. If Lin Yuan is not dealt with, the beast tide will be pushed back.

Although they had far more magical beasts than the enemy, these magical beasts were not without intelligence.

If this drags on, the number of monsters will decrease, while the number of humans will remain the same. In fact, reinforcements will arrive from small fortresses and towns around the world, and the number of humans may even increase.

Their attacks are useless against these humans; sooner or later their morale will collapse, and once that collapses, their attack will have failed.

They can't wait any longer; they must send out abyssal monsters of level 80 or higher as soon as possible.

Once a great lord of this caliber is mobilized, the situation on the battlefield will inevitably change drastically.

Just in front of Lin Yuan's defense zone, the once flat ground suddenly trembled violently.

The ground collapsed on a large scale, with the soil and rocks collapsing, creating a huge abyss-like fissure accompanied by a roar.

A dense aura of death surged from the crack, instantly enveloping the surrounding space.

As the aura of death descended, several [Undead Lords], each around level 80, burst forth from the ground!

These undead lords exuded a suffocating aura and were accompanied by a large number of high-ranking elite undead.

Each undead lord brings a different type of undead army, with a very clear division of labor.

Leading the pack was a colossal [Skeleton Mammoth Beast]. This mammoth beast was level 80, with incredibly thick bones that gleamed with a black sheen.

With each step it took forward, it caused the ground to tremble, making the surrounding human soldiers lose their footing.

With each step it took forward, it caused the ground to tremble, making the surrounding human soldiers lose their footing.

Following behind the skeletal mammoth was a large group of skeletal warriors wielding heavy bone clubs.

On the flank of the mammoth behemoth, another undead lord revealed its ferocious form. It was an Abyssal Corpse Overlord wielding a giant scythe of plague, and its level had reached eighty-one.

The Abyss Corpse Overlord was not particularly large, but it moved extremely fast, leaving behind a trail of afterimages on the battlefield.

It was surrounded by a ring of green poisonous gas, a terrifying entity with its own aura of extreme toxicity.

Following the Corpse Spirit Overlord in his charge were countless plague ghouls, their bodies constantly emitting a foul stench and poisonous gas.

As these ghouls and overseers stormed in, large amounts of poisonous fog began to spread rapidly within the defensive perimeter.

Those inside the defensive perimeter quickly noticed something was wrong. Although Lin Yuan's Knight Dance could provide them with hundreds of thousands of defensive stats...

However, this defense can only neutralize physical, magical, and even mental damage, but it cannot stop the infiltrating poisonous fog.

High armor and magic resistance are not directly effective against negative status effects.

It mainly depends on the attributes of these job changers themselves, and how resistant they are to these negative statuses.

For example, persistent damage and debuffs such as poison, burning, and freezing require specific resistances to counteract them.

Soon, many soldiers began to glow green, and their health points began to decline continuously.

One of the heavily armored soldiers at the forefront suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body and shouted loudly.

"Oh no! I've been poisoned! This poisonous fog ignores our armor, and my blood is dripping!"

Several soldiers nearby also noticed the same thing, and a small commotion broke out in the ranks.

"Old Li, your health is dropping too fast, retreat first!" a teammate shouted anxiously.

"No, if I retreat, the opening ahead will be created!" Old Li gritted his teeth and held off a ghoul.
