"Frontal combat is what I excel at too!"
Without hesitation, Lu Chen, standing where he was, raised his greatsword high and used the skill—Fatal Blow—against the charging Barbarian Beast.
The charging Rock Turtle saw Lu Chen's movements as well. However, even though it saw them, it had no intention of stopping. It was extremely confident in its own defense.
That was right—the Barbarian Beast occupying Black Lake was a turtle.
Moreover, it was a Rock Turtle renowned for its defensive power. Its shell was half a meter thick. In the past, the Rock Turtle had encountered many enemies and had even fought a Fire Ox.
