A black streak pierced through the void…
The sinister claws of the Hand were heading straight for Roy's head, aiming to decapitate him in one fell swoop.
Belzebub wasn't in the habit of playing with his prey — he was a kill-and-rest predator, giving no chance for a comeback.
Roy's pupils constricted from fear. Lying limp, he hurriedly activated the newly received skill: Absolute Defense!
[Absolute Defense (SSS): Creates a force shield. Every 10 units of Genesis Ether infused can tank 100 damage points. Also creates a rebound effect, rebounding tanked attacks by 2×.]
Roy instantly burned 50 Genesis Ether units without blinking. A milky gold force shield formed right before his neck.
The claw strike collided directly into the divine obstruction. The force shield rattled and trembled under the sheer might of the attack.
Cracks rippled through the ethereal structure — but it held, rebounding a force twice as heavy back through Belzebub's arm.
