For the first time since their conversation began, Hecate's face finally turned serious. The huge fireball that threatened to fall from the sky was so powerful that it made his heart beat fast.
Hecate quickly raised a red shield that was even taller than him. He also wrapped his body in anma, not daring to take this spell lightly. "Come!" He roared fearlessly behind his shield.
Looking at the comet, Lilith frowned behind her veil. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Hall of Might and Hall of Creation to retreat far away. The soldiers of the Hall of Might did not even care who gave the order.
Lilith summoned a spiritual barrier while Troy and Sebastian also summoned their own protective spells to help their warriors. Though, they knew that many of their soldiers would still die from this attack. At least this way, they could prevent losing most of their subordinates.
A red aura enveloped Hecate's body. As the comet's primary target, he was the one closest to the fireball. Even if he tried to escape, he would still be hit. Moreover, the thought of retreating from one's attack did not cross his mind. With his pride as the man known as the Walking Fortress, the word 'backward' was not in his dictionary!
With a blinding light that nearly blinded everyone present, the comet finally struck Hecate.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Fragments of burning rock flew in all directions and hit the soldiers near the area of the comet explosion.
Ahhhhhhh!!
Ahhhhhhh!!
Screams of agony echoed everywhere as the burning boulders smashed into their bodies. Some of the unlucky soldiers even died after their heads were hit by large, blazing rock fragments.
Sand particles covered the surroundings of the Desert Region and it took over ten minutes before the dust clouds receded.
When everyone turned their gaze upwards, they saw the figure of Hecate, still holding his shield and hammer. Some parts of his shield were damaged and the sturdy shield features were filled with cracks and burning marks.

Hecate groaned slowly while slowly lowering his shield. His armor had several burn scars, but other than that, no meaningful damage was visible. "Damn it!" He cursed softly as he forcefully swallowed the blood rising in his throat.
Hecate could still feel his internal organs protesting in pain and even his left hand holding his shield felt numb.
He could not help but stare at the silver-haired human in shock. Hecate saw that the man still looked indifferent as usual, but a moment later, the human smiled.
"Oh? You really survived that? That's delicious! You are the second person to survive the spell!" Jiu Shen grinned as he looked at Hecate's ugly expression. This person was even more tenacious than Lao Gou! Even Lao Gou was left almost half dead after receiving this comet. He even had the support of a Heavenly Rank item, the God Sealing Tower. However, Hecate came out relatively unscathed. Only his shield was broken and he looked fine.
Hecate gritted his teeth in anger. How could he not feel the mocking tone of this person?
With a series of quick movements, Hecate flashed towards Jiu Shen and shouted furiously. "I'll kill you! Die!"
He violently swung his hammer, creating a deadly arc of light that tore through the sky.
Swooshes!
Jiu Shen's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly swung his sword as he cast a defensive spell.
A golden fortress appeared in front of him, but it was instantly smashed into pieces after coming into contact with Hecate's hammer.
Aaaang!
Thousands of blooming red flowers suddenly appeared following Jiu Shen's exquisite sword dance.
When Jiu Shen finished his last move, the deep red flower petals turned into Heavenly ranked blades and flew straight towards Hecate, producing a sharp sound in the air!
Siiyng!
Hecate sensed the power behind each sword petal. All of them were at the level of a Heavenly ranked item! 'How did this fellow summon such a terrifying sword skill !?'
Having no choice, he could only put his luck on his broken shield. He also used a hammer to cover his head. As for the other parts of his body, he could do nothing.
Suu! Suu! Suu!
CLAANGS!
CLAANGS!
Puchis!
Everyone stared in horror as Hecate's mighty lower body was pierced by over a dozen sword petals!
Hecate's eyes turned red and traces of blood dripped down on the edge of his lips.
"Sir Hall!"
"Hall Master Hecate!"
"Hecate!"
"Master Hall is hurt?" The soldiers of the Hall of Might stared at their mighty leader in disbelief.
Hecate, the Walking Fortress, is now covered in wounds!
Blood seeped out from the crack of his broken red armor.
Although the bottom of his crimson armor had many cracks, it was still intact.
Everyone noticed that the crimson armor was also repairing itself, and soon, the damage to the crimson armor was no longer visible!
This was a treasure given by the Lord of Asgard. It saved his life on many occasions. This armor was called the 'Introgradable Crimson God Armor' and had the ability to repair itself no matter the amount of damage it received!
'This guy is so strong! Is he really a Heavenly?!' Hecate glanced at Jiu Shen with narrowed eyes. The man still floated expressionlessly while looking at her.
"Lilith, kill the others quickly! I can't beat this guy, but I'll try to hold him down! When you kill the other Celestials, help me finish this guy off!" Hecate sent a voice transmission to Lilith.
Lilith was stunned when she heard Hecate's voice in her head. This was the first time Hecate claimed to be inferior to someone. "alright. I'll try to kill them as soon as possible." He answers.
