Piote squeezed his eyes shut, his mind racing.

Why are the operations in this territory always like this…?

Thanks to Juana’s Blessing, he could nullify any incoming attacks. Even the terrifying Equidema hadn’t managed to leave a scratch on him.

Of course, the stronger the attack, the more divine power it consumed. But Piote’s divine power had grown to a level that even Parniel would find astonishing.

This made him the perfect shield, allowing Ghislain to focus entirely on escaping while Piote absorbed the hits.

As Kaien froze momentarily in disbelief, Ghislain seized the opportunity and reached out.

BOOM!

“Guh!”
