This bloodline, derived from the Sea King Disk, has belonged to Shengyuan from the very beginning.
As a continuous bloodline, the intermediate Mountain Roar can significantly enhance the overall attributes of the body, especially in terms of strength, defense, and regeneration, with an increase so great it is astonishing.
For a defender, this is practically the most suitable bloodline.
During the siege of mutated life forms, Shengyuan acted as the defensive vanguard, often standing at the forefront. However, in the end, he was less injured than others and his recovery ability was surprisingly good, fully recovering in just one or two days.
After activating the bloodline, Shengyuan's physical qualities were nearly comparable to Ye Zhongming.
The combination of the Giant Shield bearer and the intermediate Mountain Roar is a match made in heaven.
With the activation of the bloodline, Shengyuan raised the Giant Shield, and a neat array of shield shadows appeared in front of him, not only protecting Park Soo-young behind him but also covering most of the temporary hospital.
The knights of the order of the radiant winged ones discarded their throwing spears, then the fist-sized metal blocks hanging from the spirit vulture, utilizing height and impact; these metal blocks posed a threat no less than other weapons.
The sound of banging echoed continuously as these attacks produced massive sounds on Shengyuan's shield shadow, yet none could break through the defense.
At the same time, in front of Shengyuan to his left and right, hundreds of cloud summit warriors revealed themselves, firing their magic crystal firearms at the airborne knights distracted by Shengyuan, causing dozens of enemies to fall from the spirit vulture's back.
The formation of the winged order squad immediately became scattered, splitting off two teams of two hundred men each, rushing towards the distant ranged troops of Cloud Summit.
"Everyone else, move past! This wild beast is mine!"
As the leader of this winged order force, Zhong Ao issued his command, intending to use himself to counter Shengyuan while his subordinates went to kill the powerful healer.
The airborne knight still in the middle lane immediately ascended, soaring over Shengyuan's shield shadow and heading towards the rear where Park Soo-young was.
Shengyuan remained standing, not because he didn't want to move, but because the intermediate Mountain Roar bloodline had one flaw—it was not adept at long-distance quick movement.
Short sprints were possible, but the speed would slow down immediately, and he couldn't catch up to the airborne knights flying above.
Moreover, the person charging at Shengyuan clearly intended to keep him there; if he didn't shake off or kill him, Shengyuan wouldn't have the opportunity to assist others.
Zhong Ao squeezed his mount, positioning the spear against the spirit vulture's neck, and both man and beast surged downwards. The spear’s tip began to glow, growing increasingly bright as the spirit vulture let out a high-pitched cry, colliding with Shengyuan's shield shadow.
The crash produced a dull thud, sending a shockwave outward and stirring up countless dust particles.
The shield shadow vanished in this collision, and Zhong Ao's spear bent into a U-shape, rendered completely useless.
Zhong Ao immediately discarded the spear, grabbing two large swords from either side of his mount, while the spirit vulture used the moment of recoil to spiral back up and charge again, swinging the two greatswords towards Shengyuan, who had just steadied after taking two steps back.
The captain of the order of the radiant winged ones saw clearly that the man with the shield was unarmed, which meant he could attack without any reservations!
The dual swords struck against the shield, creating a loud clang. Shengyuan stepped back, and Zhong Ao swooped down again for another strike.
Once... twice... three times... five times...
This captain was practically circling around Shengyuan, confident in the dual swords in his hands. These were gifts directly bestowed by the Holy Father; even if they couldn’t match that blue shield, they wouldn’t be lacking, and with the enhancement of battle skills, Zhong Ao even entertained the extravagant hope of shattering that shield.
