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

Sun Tieshan brandished two enormous battle axes and activated the skill [War God's Wrath Strike], causing the battle axes to collide heavily with the Plague Giant Scythe in mid-air.

The sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky, and ripples of energy spread outwards.

In mid-air, Li Qingfeng, the level 83 Storm Archmage, faced off against the Nether Bone Dragon Knight.

Li Qingfeng waved his staff, and the wind elements in the sky instantly became violent, forming a huge [Storm Tornado].

The Nether Bone Dragon Knight showed no weakness, riding his bone dragon and opening its massive maw to unleash a jet-black [Death Breath].

Gale-force winds and the aura of death clashed violently on the outskirts of the Lin Yuan defense zone. The two completely different energies squeezed each other, causing a violent explosion.

The entire battlefield was filled with flying sand and stones, and the space itself trembled noticeably due to the intense collisions.

Although the human warriors of the fortress successfully withstood the main attacks of the three undead lords, these undead lords were also very intelligent and had a wealth of combat experience.

Knowing that their primary target was Lin Yuan, they avoided engaging in one-on-one battles with these powerful humans.

After withstanding the attacks of the human powerhouses for a while, the three undead lords suddenly changed their tactics.

The next moment, they bypassed their opponents and used powerful long-range attacks.

The skeletal mammoth swung its long trunk, launching sharp bone spikes.

The Corpse Spirit Overlord swung his giant scythe, unleashing several black blades of energy imbued with deadly poison.

The Nether Bone Dragon Knight then hurled several death spears burning with ghostly fire.

All of these attacks bypassed the human powerhouses and went directly towards Lin Yuan, who was in the center of the formation.

Faced with these attacks of level 80 or higher, Lin Yuan stood still.

Bone spikes, air blades, and death spears landed accurately on Lin Yuan, accompanied by a dull thud; all these attacks were useless!

When the undead lords saw this, they were astonished that Lin Yuan had withstood their attacks without getting hurt. Although these attacks were relatively minor skills for them, the difference in their levels was so great that Lin Yuan was still unharmed.

So they immediately changed their strategy and began looking for opportunities to attack other humans within the defensive perimeter.

These undead lords simply did not believe that the massive defensive circle Lin Yuan had set up could be shared 100% with his defenses.

Keep in mind that they are undead lords of level 80 or above, and their attack attributes are extremely high.

Perhaps, with the support of this defensive perimeter, the elite human forces around level 70 within the circle would be able to withstand their attacks.

However, only a minority of the elites in the circle are at level 70; the majority are at level 30 or 40.

The basic attributes of these ordinary people are very low for them, especially those who haven't undergone job advancement. Even with defense bonuses, there are limits.

These low-ranking soldiers would definitely be injured if they were subjected to area-of-effect attacks from these undead lords.

Even the slightest brush against them, or a moment of carelessness, could kill these level 30 or 40 soldiers.

Once Lin Yuan has killed everyone around him, his defensive aura will become meaningless.

They also wanted to see what it felt like for Lin Yuan to watch helplessly as his compatriots died!

They'll definitely be angry!

The angrier humans are, the happier they are!

At this moment, Lin Yuan, through the golden rule of omniscience and omnipotence, clearly perceived the intentions of these undead lords.

He knew that if these level 80 attacks were to fall into the ranks of ordinary soldiers, it would inevitably cause casualties.

While a 40% defense sharing rate is high, ordinary soldiers are still in danger when facing an 80-level monarch.

The undead lords only used minor skills on him; if they had used more powerful skills, he would probably have been injured.

Don't be fooled by his high defense stat; he's only level 41. These undead lords are level 80 and above, and they're still several job advancements away from him.

At this point, Lin Yuan had two choices in this situation.

The first option is for him to directly activate the [Titan Wall].

Once this skill is activated, his own defense will instantly increase by 300%.

In this way, the shared defenses will also increase dramatically, enough to protect everyone.

However, this skill lasts for a limited time, only ten minutes.

The second scenario is that he directly uses skill points to upgrade the passive skill "Absolute Defense".

By upgrading skills, the base defense value can be permanently increased.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Yuan chose the second method.

His reason for making this choice is quite simple.

While the first method does offer a significant increase in defense, the skill only lasts for ten minutes per use.

If he were leveling up alone while running dungeons, then ten minutes would be a long time for him.

However, ten minutes is a very short time in the context of war.

Although he has the attribute "Unending Barrier", which means he can use any skill without cooldown.

As long as he has enough mana, he can keep casting skills, and his mana is indeed sufficient thanks to the [Mana Source].

However, the battlefield is ever-changing, with too many unexpected situations.

He couldn't possibly spare the time to calculate whether the ten minutes had actually elapsed.

If you are attacked by the Undead Lord during the gap in skill combos, it could result in the death of those around you.

Therefore, instead of always worrying about timing your skill usage, it's better to just go for it in one go.

He decided to directly upgrade the passive skill [Absolute Defense], which does not require mana or active activation.

His current Absolute Defense is level six, which can increase the defensive attributes of armor and magic resistance to seven times the original level.

Lin Yuan directly opened the skill panel, consuming four skill points.

With the injection of four skill points from Lin Yuan, he discovered that [Absolute Defense] had reached its maximum level.

The highest level for this passive skill is only level 10.

After reaching the maximum level, the effects of the skills also undergo a dramatic change.

【Absolute Defense (Max): Passive skill, all of your defensive attributes are increased to 10 times their original value (defensive attributes include: armor, magic resistance, and all resistances)】

Looking at the new skill descriptions on the panel, Lin Yuan's various defensive attributes surged.

护甲：1779400（+16800）-> 2542000（+16800）+10%-> 2814680

Magic Resistance: 900018 (+7400) -> 1285740 (+7400)

Mental Resistance: 70000 -> 700000

Lin Yuan also did not expect that after his absolute defense reached the maximum level, all his defense-related attributes could be increased tenfold!

And this 40% shared defense value has reached a terrifying level!
