Ten Terrifying Seconds

Xiao Liang's eyes lit up. "I'll give it a try."

Lu Yang continued, "Melee paladins can also temporarily replace four pieces of the Soul Eternal Set with the Blood Mist Set."

The two-piece Blood Mist Set bonus added an extra 5% critical hit chance and 500 attack power. Both bonuses were better than the latter two attributes of the Soul Eternal Set and could increase attack power even further.

Bai Shi caught on. "That works. Those of us with high critical hit chance and damage will deal even more damage."

"Wait here. I'll go back to socket gems and find some equipment for you." Lu Yang used a skill to return to the Demon God Temple.

He socketed level 10 Defense Gems into the Nether Thunder helmet, shoulders, armor, and belt, borrowed Blood Mist Set pieces from Xia Yuwei and the others, then returned to the dungeon and handed them to Xiao Liang, Bai Shi, and the rest.

After changing equipment, Xiao Liang's defense rose to 11,000 points, and his health reached 65,000.

After Bai Shi, Ku Ai Bansheng, and the other paladins changed equipment, their critical hit chance rose to 35%. One out of every three strikes would crit.

Lu Yang said, "Xiao Liang will tank the monster shortly. Everyone else, spread out more than ten yards apart. Only two healers can be assigned to heal the others; the remaining eight need to watch Xiao Liang and keep healing him at all times."

Everyone nodded.

"Xiao Liang, engage." After confirming everyone was ready, Lu Yang gave the order to begin.

Charge

Shield raised, Xiao Liang streaked forward like a phantom and slammed into the demon ape.

"5000"

Han Fei's attack triggered Red Mist Whirlwind Slash.

Roar~!

The demon ape's body instantly swelled, transforming into a terrifying twenty-meter-tall holy beast.
