Chapter 972 Dangers from the Deep (2)

The force of the blast of water hit Marcus hard, and he immediately began to lose ground.

He could feel the iron chains coiled into a shield in front of him breaking apart, and it was only a matter of time until it shattered completely.

Still, he held on and kept up his defiance.

Soon his tier eight spell was overwhelmed and dissipated, and Marcus felt his mana barrier that was the next line of protection taking the brunt of the attack.

Marcus watched cracks form in front of him as his mana barrier absorbed the force of the Fortress Turtle's strongest attack.

Even with his Shield of the Just Unique Skill active, he was barely holding out and was being pushed back towards the rest of the expedition squad.

'I'm not going to be able to hold it!' Marcus thought with gritted teeth.

His mana barrier then shattered, and the force of the water blast impacted against his body and shield.
