Victorious

Antonio's trio did not treat Steve as an ordinary recruit. In fact, Steve was, in their eyes, no less than the boss in this game!

So, they didn't show him any mercy when they began attacking him. They just wanted to defeat Steve as quickly as possible!

Antonio's knife swept across from the left, the back and left sides being blocked by Parkes with mud walls, while Helena's Sword pierced down from overhead. They had completely blocked off every side, so Steve had nowhere to hide!

"Blessed Ring of Earth!" At that critical moment, the yellow ring on Steve's hand suddenly glowed with a faint light and a transparent Spiritual Rebound Shield appeared.

Antonio's knife then spliced right on the rebound shield.

Boom!

An invisible force blocked his attack. Almost at the same time, his attack turned into an equal force and rebounded back.
