Shuoyuan, who had been trapped in the Reflected Dimension for tens of millions of years, understood and controlled dimensional passages far better than any wizard present.
This was no longer merely a technical gap, but a crushing disparity in accumulated experience.
For a time, the battle fell into a stalemate.
Shuoyuan continued suppressing them with dimensional disparity, but Benjamin endured it head-on.
Faced with such attacks, the wizards could only hide behind Benjamin and counterattack.
Yet none of their counterattacks could fundamentally sever the connection between Shuoyuan and the Reflected Dimension.
Shuoyuan's dragon eyes slowly focused on Benjamin.
It had clearly realized that the key to breaking this deadlock was this walking shield.

Even Benjamin himself only realized what had happened after that power slid away.
Shuoyuan's dragon eyes abruptly widened.
It was undisguised shock, particularly jarring within those enormous eyes.
Refusing to believe it, it used the same method again, this time with greater force.
Benjamin felt a heat bloom in his chest. Several tiny wounds suddenly appeared, Dark Gold blood seeping from the surface of his skin.

Shuoyuan increased its force again.
The wounds appeared once more.
Then healed once more.
After several repetitions, the wounds on Benjamin's body grew smaller and smaller, nearly being smoothed away the instant they emerged.
He lowered his head to look at a faint scratch
