A Talk With Leon

Astaroth knew he didn't have time to dodge, so he instead did the next best thing. He raised his arms, crossing them in front of him, hoping to block a part of the impact.

But he didn't expect what happened next.

As the massive orb of demonic mana reached him, he clenched his teeth, expecting the impact to send him flying back. But no impact came.

When the orb reached him, a powerful suction suddenly appeared, originating from his ring. The ring absorbed the entire orb of demonic mana in a matter of seconds, leaving Astaroth standing there, speechless.

He felt the ring pulse a few times before settling down to normal.

"What the fuck?"

Astaroth did not know what had happened, and how the ring manifested power of its own, but he would not spit on a win. But he took a mental note to go speak to Solomon as soon as possible.
