The immense power of the Demigod Level mutated life form combined with the dual layering of the Flame Rules shattered the thin sand wall, and the remaining impact force passed through the sand wall directly onto him.
Duke's entire body was hit as if by an invisible giant hammer, sending him flying sideways, his back slamming heavily against the stone wall, sliding down the cracked gray-white slate to the ground.
He knelt on one knee in the rubble, a sweet metallic taste rising in his throat, a trace of dark red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
At least two ribs were broken, his left arm from shoulder to wrist went numb, and the surface of his skin was scorched by the aftershock of the Flame Rules.
Fortunately, he had the Elemental Holy Body as a foundation; otherwise, this hit would've either caused serious injuries or left him bedridden for a long time.
Duke knelt on one knee in the rubble, raising his right hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
