Survival of the Nation: I Can Specify the Items That Will Drop
Chapter 455: The Seventh Floor of the Dungeon
He sorted through the information that surfaced in his mind, stripped himself of his ability to fly, and instantly caused more than a dozen third-stage powerhouses to fall from the sky.
Attacks at the level of laws are unavoidable, unblockable, and undefendable.
The Dragoon Legion, with seventeen silver dragons and seventeen knights, fought for three months until only Dragunov remained.
And that apostle didn't even make a serious move; that's what he'll have to face in the future.
He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and carefully put away the job change certificate and the memory crystal.
He pulled his collar tighter, stepped over the shattered bones and ashes scattered on the ground, and walked to the stone steps leading to the seventh floor of the dungeon.
He didn't turn around, but stepped into the light curtain.
...
Before you is a straight corridor, with a magic lamp embedded in the walls on both sides every five steps.
The floor was covered with a dark red carpet, which was old and faded, but the gold patterns woven on it could still be faintly seen.
The pattern of intertwined oak leaves and a crown is the emblem of the royal family of Elderland.
At the end of the corridor is a huge double door, ten meters high, cast from dark gold metal, with the coat of arms of Elderland embossed on its surface.
An oak tree, its canopy blocking out the sun, its roots reaching deep into the earth, with countless tiny lines extending outwards from the roots, representing all the lands under the kingdom's rule.
There was no lock or handle on the door; only a line of text was engraved on the horizontal beam directly below the national emblem.
"We are born of light and die of light; darkness shall not enter this gate."
Lin Feng reached out and touched the words. The moment his fingertips touched them, the golden patterns on the entire door suddenly lit up.
The light flickered and trembled like a candle flame, then gradually dimmed.
After the light went out, a new mark appeared on the door, as if someone had scratched it with their finger on hot metal. The strokes were crooked and conveyed a deep sense of weariness.
"...But then darkness came."
The door slid open silently.
...
The entrance hall is square, about 60 meters long and wide, with a dome about 20 meters high. The floor is paved with white marble and polished smooth.
At the end of the hall was a tightly closed black stone door, without any patterns or writing on it, as smooth as a mirror.
Before Lin Feng could even take a closer look, three short swords were already slashing at him from three directions at the same time.
Silent and seamless, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they had already calculated the exact location and time he would step into this space.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively activated 【Meteor Flash】, disappearing from his original spot and reappearing on the flank ten meters away.
Three sword lights simultaneously struck the spot where he had just stood, the blades slicing through the air with a sharp whistle, leaving three marks of varying depths on the marble floor.
Only then did he see the enemy clearly: three people in full silver-white armor, with the Oak Leaf Crown emblem of the Kingdom of Elderland engraved on their armor plates.
The faceplate was completely closed, obscuring the facial features. Only two thin, dark gold slits ran across the eyes, revealing a calm and indifferent gaze.
The three men stand in a triangular formation, each holding a narrow-bladed short sword in their right hand and a round shield in their left.
The spacing was even, the shield was slightly tilted forward, and the sword tip pointed diagonally at the ground, the posture was skillful and cautious.
The two front-row characters raise their shields simultaneously, activating 【Iron Wall】. A pale golden halo appears on the shield, increasing the block rate by 30% and adding an extra 60 to the knockback attribute.
The rear guard slammed his round shield into the ground, and a golden halo exploded outwards from him—the 【Guardian Array】 was formed, and fine golden patterns appeared on the ground with a radius of eight meters.
The two front-row characters now have a shield mark on their health bars, increasing their defense and block rate, and they begin to slowly regenerate health.
【Royal Guards x3】, Level Lv39, with both Strength and Constitution awakened.
"Three Level 39s... This is exciting right from the start?"
Lin Feng said in a low voice, twirling the Wildfire Spear in his hand, the flame crystal at the tip of the spear shining with an orange-red light.
Before the words were even finished, the guard in the middle had already moved—【Shield charge forward】.
He charged forward with his shield, his steps steady and swift, like a moving iron wall.
Lin Feng dodged to the side, but the guards on both sides pressed forward at the same time, their shields side by side and their sword tips piercing out from below the shield edges, compressing his dodging space to the limit.
The three coordinated with precision, like gears meshing together. One person charged forward, while the other two blocked their flanks, even taking their escape route into account.
Lin Feng had no choice but to take a step back, his Wildfire Spear sweeping across to force back the guards on the left. "Clang!"
The spear slammed into the shield, and the guard took a half step back, but the shield only swayed slightly before stabilizing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the guard on the right launched a series of short sword thrusts, the three swords moving with lightning speed, aimed at his waist, shoulder and face respectively.
Lin Feng fired his Spear in quick succession, clanging and deflecting the three swords one after another, sparks flying everywhere.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other man sheathed his sword, he thrust his spear at the guard's chest on the right, but the guard had already withdrawn his shield in time.
The shield firmly blocked the spear tip, triggering 【Royal Iron Wall】, increasing the guard's defense by 15%.
The guard on the left pressed forward, pushing his shield forward so that the edge of the shield struck Lin Feng's lower back.
Lin Feng did not turn around. He swept the butt of his spear backward, and the edge of the shield collided with the shaft of the spear. A dull thud resounded, and he was knocked back a step.
"Three against one, and they can perfectly cover each other... that's really good teamwork."
Lin Feng said something in a low voice, then stepped back to a distance of thirty meters and quickly glanced at the positions of the three people.
The shield formation in front is airtight, making a direct assault too inefficient; we need to change our tactics.
He took a deep breath, and the flames on the Wildfire Spear suddenly exploded, activating 【Beacon Fire Across the City】.
A fiery meteor-like spear beam shot out from the spear tip, advancing in a straight line and crashing into the left-wing guards with a scorching shockwave.
The guard instinctively parried with his shield, flames exploding on the shield's surface. The impact jolted his arm to the side, causing the shield to tilt at an angle.
The knockback effect took effect, reducing the success rate of blocking by 50%, and a gap finally appeared in the formation.
Lin Feng's figure flashed through the gap, his spear tip aimed straight for the left-wing guard's armpit.
But just as the spear tip was about to pierce through, three purple lights lit up at the same time, and the three guards activated 【Armor Return to One】.
Purple light emanated from the oak leaf crown emblem on the armor, spreading across the entire body.
Lin Feng's spear tip pierced his armpit, as if it had struck a smooth, solid metal plate. The damage was -801, nearly half less than expected.
The guard took the opportunity to regain his balance, and his shield sealed the gap again. The other two men took a step back at the same time, tightening their formation so that their shields faced outwards and the distance between them was less than two meters.
Lin Feng took a half step back and glanced at the purple aura around the three of them. The purple set effect unified their armor and shielded their weaknesses, greatly reducing the effectiveness of their previous fighting strategy.
The three guards began to press forward in unison, slowly forcing Lin Feng into a corner of the hall and reducing his space to move.
Once his dodge space is compressed, his speed advantage will be weakened.
