If Ria's battle was the fiercest, the toughest one was none other than Devain's battle.
He was facing the most powerful turtle in the world. He managed to climb his position by only defending his opponent's attack.
Hence, even Devain had no confidence in confronting him.
Standing in front of the turtle, Devain took a few deep breaths. He didn't know whether he had enough strength to kill him or not, but Devain had promised Kai to defeat his opponent.
On the other hand, the turtle, Seei, raised his shell as his shield while saying, "To think King Gilgash made another group to maintain the record. We have so suspicions about it but have no clue… It must be because of your small population."
"King Gilgash?" Devain narrowed his eyes, never expecting Seei to call him "King" in his na.
"Even as an enemy, I have heard about his tale and respected such a man. Without our sophisticated plan, King Gilgash would continue to grow and beco the ruler of the planet. After all, not many Protectors can kill two Protectors alone." Seei shook his head.
"That's right. Your trick." Devain released his killing intent. "I wished that King Gilgash could do sothing like our current king. However, I no longer have such a wish. I only know that our king shall defeat your Neptune."
"I won't dare to draw the conclusion of their battle since both of their strengths are beyond my imagination. But I believe in my own king." Seei smiled.
"Unfortunately, all of you are going to die right now." Devain snorted and rembered Kai's instruction to all of them.
After hearing that plan, they couldn't help but see their chance to win the battle despite the gap between their strength.
Recalling his words, a smile appeared on Devain's face as he raised his stance. His hands suddenly turned black as if tal just cladded them.
"Devain," Devain shouted his na and jumped forward.
"Interesting. I, Seei, shall be your opponent." The turtle smirked and ran toward him.
Both of them stopped before each other as Devain sent a punch while Seei raised his shield.
Bam.
A huge sound echoed in the area from the collision. Devain and Seei had no movent as their strength seed to be equal.
They tried to push each other forward, but none yielded.
Ultimately, Devain stomped the ground and turned it into a crater. With them losing their footholds, Devain spun his body and kicked his shield, pushing him back.
That kick indeed blew him away, but Seei landed softly on the ground before charging at him.
Suddenly, several 3x3 ter translucent screens appeared around Seei and moved together with him.
Devain furrowed his eyebrows and lightly hit the ground, forcing so pebbles to rise into the air. A black Magic Circle ford in front of him as he launched all those pebbles together.
The Magic Circle turned them into black tal.
"!!!" Devain tightened his grip when the pebbles crushed upon his shield.
'Moving like a bullet but heavy like a cannonball…' Seei muttered inwardly as his shield was pushed against him. Even so, he persisted and continued running forward until he reached Devain's position.
"Shield…" He pulled his shield back while Devain prepared to punch him.
When he was about to slam his shield to Devain, he took a step back as all the five screens around him trapped Devain inside with four walls in all directions and one on top of him.
"Compress."
Suddenly, two of the walls moved close to each other, trying to crush Devain.
"…" Devain extended his hands to both screens before realizing he couldn't stop them.
He then stepped on the ground and deepened the crater around him, allowing a gap on the bottom. Using that gap, Devain escaped from the walls and rolled on the ground.
However, there was a reason why the wall was translucent. The turtle could observe his movent this way.
Before Devain could recover his stance, the turtle jumped on top of him and slamd his shield against him.
Boom.
Another loud sound echoed as the crater beca even deeper. Luckily, Devain had enough ti to cover his body with tal or the shield would have crushed his bones.
"Kh." Devain clicked his tongue. The shield was bigger than him, so he had no way to attack the turtle like this.
But this also ant the turtle had no more force to push him because his foot didn't touch the ground. He used that chance to release all his strength to push the shield into the air.
Unfortunately for him, this allowed the turtle to use his other magic. The shield that was about to crush Devain earlier regrouped with him and ford a sharp pointed tip to pierce Devain.
"!!!" The latter hurriedly rolled a few tis on the ground to avoid it.
Bam.
Seei chased him and tried to slam his shield, but Devain's form was more stable than the previous one. His foot suddenly ca from the side and kicked the shield upward.
Seei tightened his grip to avoid it getting blown away, but it left him unguarded. And Devain used that chance to launch his body into the air while spinning like crazy. He used that rotation to extend one of his feet to Seei's head.
Bam.
Seei was blown away like him and crashed thirty ters away from him.
They both used the distance to regain their balance and raised their stances again.
"You are stronger than I thought…" Seei squinted his eyes. "This is the first ti I have seen soone with this kind of power. Your tal power may be able to pierce through my defense like the princess and Marza…"
"I don't need that sh*t. All I need is to defeat you." Devain snorted and bent his knees. He grabbed the ground, and his fingers crushed it a little bit, going deeper.
After that, he pulled the ground that turned out to be a ball, the size of his head. Devain covered it with his power while forming a long black stick as its handle.
"A mace." Seei was amused by his choice of weapon, but it didn't matter to him as he continued to attack.
Devain also approached him while swinging his black mace.
"Ha!" Devain shouted and smashed the shield.
The turtle soon realized that Devain's strength increased exponentially.
"Kh." The turtle gritted his teeth and was pushed back for the first ti in a head-on confrontation.
'This kind of power… No, this doesn't use much Magic Power. If that's the case, then his magic is…' Seei ca to a realization as he looked at Devain in surprise. "Your Magic is Concentrated tal! Instead of covering one thing with tal, you reinforce them by gathering a huge amount of Magic Power around it.
"That's how you can gain massive strength in every attack. But this magic also puts a strain on your reserve."
Hearing those words, Devain only snorted, "Why didn't you say it's similar to your magic?"
"You realized it?" Seei beca even more amazed by Devain.
"Our power is similar. You can also concentrate your Magic Power to form a stronger barrier. Those gates you used to defend Ma'am Ria's attack were ford by that kind of power. That's why the closer it is to your body, the stronger the barrier is."
"Impressive. I have lived for five hundred years, but you certainly amuse . Unfortunately, I won't face another human since we will win this war." Seei charged forward.
"Hmph. Useless talk." Devain snorted and approached him again with his mace.
The mace and the shield soon clashed once again, producing a shock wave to the surroundings.
