The battle scene froze, but it was not entirely an illusion.
Rather, Leonard Churchill had used the "Day Without Light" Secret Skill.
At that instant, an invisible barrier that repelled attacks had formed in front of him.
Beginning from over a dozen meters away, it acted like a cushioning sponge that completely absorbed the impact of the charge from the female Overlord Beast snake.
Otherwise, even with his current physical strength comparable to a Seventh Rank close combatant's exaggerated standard, he would still be no match for the Herculean force of such an immense creature's charge.
He himself being knocked down was of no consequence, but Bonnie and the others behind him would have suffered severe injuries.
At the same time, he punched out, and the force of his Overlord Fist surged into the snake's body like a tsunami, finally creating ripples on the surface of its flesh.
The snake's tier was one Big Rank higher than Leonard Churchill's.
