Saine's five Eye of Penetration spells directly pierced through Gond's three diamond-shaped Fire Ember Impacts.
This marked that, in terms of offensive power, Saine's magic surpassed Gond's defensive divine artifacts.
However, by the time the five weakened Eye of Penetration spells reached Gond, they had only shattered two layers of his shields.
The Ruby Ring in Gond's hand glimmered again, and the destroyed shields were restored.
At the same time, three more diamond-shaped Fire Ember Impacts appeared.
This style of fighting entirely through equipment was something Saine had seen for the first time in all his years.
It had to be said that any path, once taken to its ultimate extreme, possessed something extraordinary.
God of Craft Gond was indeed not skilled in battle, but with his ability to forge divine artifacts, he was likewise someone other beings of the same rank found difficult to provoke.
Besides the Ruby Ring in his hand, Gond then activated the wrench he held. A tremendous repulsive force erupted before Saine, halting Saine's charge even though he had already entered Flame Demon Transformation.
Immediately afterward, Gond threw out several hundred tiny objects resembling gears.
Catalyzed by Gond's divine power, those gears transformed into combat puppets in the blink of an eye.
These combat puppets were clearly better suited for battle than the wooden puppets that operated the underwater mechanical city.

And the wrench in his hand was probably not an offensive divine artifact. After initially unleashing immense repulsion against Saine, the force it exerted grew
