"Boom~"
The sound of flas crashing around him surged like a torrential flood.
Leonard Churchill pulled Sophia Jones into the portal, appearing outside the earth cave next to Barre Shepherd, who had preset the teleportation coordinates.
Almost simultaneously, the Fla Demon King’s fiery breath had burned a massive lava cave with a diater of a hundred ters into the rock wall not far away.
It felt like they had brushed past death.
Barre Shepherd, seeing the two escape unscathed, exhaled a heavy sigh of relief.
In his view, that mont just now was extrely perilous. If they had been a second later, Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones might have been consud by the fiery sea.
Leonard Churchill also let out a long breath.
Since they decided to take the risk of exploring the fla cave, the three had already ntally prepared for the dangers involved.
[Fla Demon King Ganul] is a unique elental creature, unseen by anyone, so nobody knew what abilities it possessed. Although it was unexpected for the creature to go berserk, it wasn’t entirely surprising.
What truly surprised Leonard Churchill instead was that they managed to escape unhard?
...
Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill glanced at the relieved Sophia Jones beside him.
As their eyes t, Sophia Jones was equally astonished.
Both of them knew they were actually caught in the Fla Demon’s attack just before they stepped into the space rift.
Even that slight impact should have severely injured them if they managed to escape.
But now, they were completely unscathed.
The reason lies in the shield they held.
This is a silver round shield.
On the front of the shield is a raised image of a dusa. The evil and ferocious face of the gorgon is vividly portrayed. It looks less like a forged pattern and more like an ancient divine craftsman sealed a real dusa’s head within the shield, granting it a miraculous effect.
Previously, Leonard Churchill had tested it. Even armor of Legendary Quality would quickly lt under the Fla Demon’s breath.
Yet, this [dusa’s Shield] perfectly withstood the wave of impact just now.
Not only was the shield unhard, but the tal shield remained cool to the touch, radiating a silver spirit light under the burning fire.
This also ant that the Fla Law’s corrosion was completely blocked.
This was what amazed Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones.
Barre Shepherd, standing aside, showed a look of surprise. Looking at the shield, he guessed sothing and asked, "Is it the shield recorded on the stele?"
"Yes."
Sophia Jones nodded, still not quite understanding how she managed to block the shockwave.
But Leonard Churchill understood.
That’s because the shield had an "Absolute Defense" entry.
This entry is essentially a "Rule Power".
Within the shield’s rule domain, any attack could be blocked by the shield.
It was Leonard Churchill’s first ti seeing such a defensive divine artifact, and he couldn’t help but smile, marveling, "This shield can absolutely defend, it’s practically the nesis of this Fla Demon King..."
No!
Not only does it restrain the Fla Demon.
Since it can block such near-plane-limit elental attacks, Leonard Churchill couldn’t think of any ans below the God Tier that could break the shield’s defense.
And the mont he saw this shield, Leonard Churchill experienced multiple flashes of sudden realization, understanding many things.
This was no coincidence.
Previously, he wondered why Elder Clinton didn’t take the shield when he saw it tens of thousands of years ago.
Now he understood.
Perhaps Elder Clinton had already foreseen that the [Lava Heart] would beco a terrifying monster in the future.
Such a monster could not be dealt with by anyone below the God Tier.
Yet, here was this Divine Shield.
Left behind to provide a safeguard for his future self or others fatefully tangled to confront this Fla Demon.
Leonard Churchill’s mind linked the threads of cause and effect all at once.
If he hadn’t seen Elder Clinton’s record of the "Divine Shield" on the stele, he wouldn’t have known there was such a shield in the earth cave, let alone risk exploring it.
After all, the Fla Demon was undefeatable.
Even if the three of them reached the Ninth Tier, the Fla Demon would remain unassailable.
Only with this shield did the turning point erge.
In Leonard Churchill’s eyes, he saw a line of cause and effect stretching from tens of thousands of years ago to the present.
From when Elder Clinton left this shield, the inevitable demise of the Fla Demon was already set in motion for tens of thousands of years later.
Anyone with the capability to acquire this shield is destined to have the opportunity to use it to slay the Fla Demon.
Leonard Churchill found himself in a profound state.
Since he touched the Rule Power, everything in the universe seed, from his perspective, to operate according to various laws, ceaselessly.
....
The Fla Demon is too powerful, according to the original plan, the three should have retreated imdiately after obtaining the shield.
Sophia Jones, seeing Leonard Churchill’s slightly unfocused pupils, had long been accustod to his state of sudden realization and ntal wandering.
But clearly, now was not the ti to delay.
Just then, the Fla Demon King sensed the trio behind it and turned around in fury.
Sophia Jones asked urgently, "Leonard, what do we do now?"
She realized Leonard had another idea, as he hadn’t left imdiately.
Interrupted, Leonard Churchill’s thoughts focused, and looking at the enraged Fla Demon King charging towards them, he squinted slightly, "I want to see if we can take down this Fla Demon..."
