The attacks of a Rank 5 Demon Worshiper Elder and a Rank 2 Oathkeeper—heavily buffed by an Oath recognized by the world—clashed at the center, resulting in a deafening impact.
Shield Charge had always been one of Alex's foolproof main offensive attacks, and it had served him well before.
Unfortunately, he was up against someone who was more than double his rank. Even with buffs, the difference in stats was staggering. At most, his current strength was that of a Rank 3 Oathkeeper.
As such, the exchange between the two ended in Alex being sent flying backward, crashing through several trees.
A glance was enough to tell who had the upper hand now. However, a groan escaped Willow's lips, for she wasn't left completely unscathed by that collision.
Alex's Oathbound Armor Set had one special feature—it reflected any physical damage that he received from his opponent.
As a complete set, it gave Alex a passive 30% Damage Reflection.
But it didn't end there.
