Leo Ray shocked his allies by accepting Rax's challenge, prompting Sina, Loris, and others to urgently dissuade him due to the half-Titan's overwhelming power. Administrator I reluctantly expanded the space in the Banquet Hall to create a battle arena, sweating over potential repercussions from the Bazaar Brotherhood. As the giants cheered, Rax lunged with a devastating fist strike fueled by fierce winds, but Leo Ray vanished in a burst of purple magic and lightning, effortlessly evading the attack.

Following that, something even more shocking unfolded.

As the brilliant lightning, with its path nearly impossible to track, slowly dissipated, Leo Ray had already touched down firmly on Rax's head, after the latter's futile charge!

At the sight of this, be it Half-Titan or Stone Giant, the mockery on their enormous faces instantly halted, plunging the area into complete silence.

It should be noted that Rax truly possessed half-step Tier 7 power, and though not the fastest, he could match any peak Tier 6 expert in velocity!

For the Human Race's Emperor to effortlessly evade Rax's massive fist so easily, it pointed to just one conclusion: the former's might was definitely on par with the latter's!

"The Human Majesty's power has actually hit half-step Tier 7?! That's the benchmark for second-tier forces in the Outer Region!"

Shocked inwardly, Administrator I couldn't stop himself from exclaiming.

"What?! The Human Majesty's power has actually reached half-step Tier 7?!"

After hearing this, Sina, Loris, and the rest, still reeling from the astonishing display they'd witnessed, all cried out in succession, including even the elderly Gary.

During the demon confrontation, old Gary had certainly observed Leo Ray's exceptional prowess and realized it had attained half-step Tier 7, yet at that time, Leo Ray was quite unpracticed with this ability, struggling to control it effectively.

In this brief period, Leo Ray appeared to have changed completely, showcasing might equal to Rax's, and even perching atop the giant's head!

As for latecomers such as Sina and Loris, they were aware only that Leo Ray had guided everyone to vanquish the demons, clueless about the details of how, so witnessing his power elevate to such heights was inevitably stunning.

"Human Majesty is invincible! Make that cocky fellow feel our strength!"

Consumed by astonishment, Sina, Loris, and the others couldn't resist shouting in excitement, rapidly lifting our spirits.

Naturally, some who seemed to have anticipated this also joined the shouts, including Moli, Fei'er, and several powerhouses serving under Leo Ray.

"Human, you've crossed the line!"

Sensing the pressure from Leo Ray overhead and the sudden shift in the venue's vibe, Rax's once serene and steady bronze visage flared with fury, as his enormous hand whipped up a storm, lunging at Leo Ray.

However, Leo Ray was ready, skimming away like a dragonfly over a pond, bounding lightly to land directly before Rax.

Once settled, Leo Ray said nothing, merely crooking a finger at his foe.

"Human, you've completely provoked this Prince!"

With his honor crushed, Rax, faced with Leo Ray's taunt, charged ahead in rage once more, a gleaming massive golden battle-axe materializing in his huge grips, surging toward Leo Ray like a surging flood.

He hadn't intended to draw a weapon at first, dismissing Leo Ray entirely, but now, desperate to salvage his reputation, he ignored all else.

Quickly, armored in gold and grasping his golden axe, Rax resembled a descending God of War, and every spot the enormous edge of his battle-axe sliced through tore open a vast tear in the void, exposing the mysterious abyss of Void Space—an absolutely mesmerizing sight.

"Impressive force, if only you could lay a hand on me."

Leo Ray arched his brows slightly, morphing into a radiant streak of lightning, vanishing from the enemy's view in a flash.

As expected, Rax's strike met empty space again, reduced to bellowing in frustration to release his boiling rage.

Afterward, an incredible display emerged.

Though Rax's strikes were rapid and devastating, even splitting into countless enormous residual images, he failed to graze Leo Ray.

While Leo Ray dodged with ease, he occasionally paused on purpose for Rax's onslaught, driving the giant to roar at the heavens in fury, powerless against him.

Observing this never-before-seen occurrence, our side's joy was indescribable, whereas the giant warriors stayed quiet, their minds in uproar.

Having battled alongside Half-Titans or Stone Giants for ages, they were well aware of Prince Mad Axe Rax's prowess, a fearsome fighter who roamed Tier 5 forces like an unstoppable phantom, with innumerable prodigies perishing under his blade over the years.

Yet now, he couldn't subdue even a single human—it was downright inconceivable!

Hearts quaking, the giants' amazed stares locked onto the elusive Leo Ray who flickered in and out of view; no surprise the Human Race's Emperor not only brought his followers to this feast but denied them any advantage—he was this formidable himself!

On that note, the trivial Human Domain had scarcely brushed the Outer Region's edges, so how had it birthed such a remarkable powerhouse?

"Compared to me, your speed is like a snail's crawl, not even brushing my robe, but you charge forward so arrogantly—who's the real idiot here?"

As he handled the situation with ease, Leo Ray's cool tone echoed across the Banquet Hall, stinging the giants' ears sharply, though they remained helpless.

Leo Ray's composure stemmed first from his identity as a Swordsman, placing him among the nimble class of warriors.

Second, bolstered by Thunder enhancement spells, various boosts, and Sheila's complete buffs, his velocity had soared to an extraordinarily high degree.

Third, given Rax's colossal frame versus Leo Ray's standard human build, hitting the latter under those conditions was bound to grow ever harder.

"Human, don't let it go to your head!"

Panting heavily though he was, Rax refused to yield, hurling his huge axe in yet another savage rush at Leo Ray!

"As Your Excellency put it, this is just to liven up the banquet, so why get so intense about it?"

Leo Ray gave a soft laugh, violet magical glow shimmering around him, gracefully alighting once more on his foe's perspiration-soaked crown for the umpteenth time, inflicting minimal real damage but maximum shame.

Truth be told, Leo Ray's goal was to shatter the enemy's morale, thereby gaining an edge in future dealings, and should the foe opt to sever ties, Leo Ray was set for an all-out battle.

"Human, my fury knows no bounds; this Prince will make you regret this!"

Frustrated time and again, Rax discarded his pride and the refined demeanor of a Half-Titan aristocrat, clearly descending into frenzy, stripped of his former poise and tranquility.

"Your Excellency, isn't this harming your reputation?"

Leo Ray darted to his rear, popping up nonchalantly, and landed a quick boot on Rax's leg armor.

While it didn't topple the barrier-protected Rax, it did cause him to lurch, almost toppling over.

"Since the Human Majesty handles this so masterfully, shall this elder hop into the fray?"

Watching Leo Ray toy with Rax effortlessly, Payton could hold back no longer, surging forward with his massive sword drawn at Leo Ray.

Indeed, Payton and Rax were sworn rivals, clashing repeatedly in combat, so Payton relished seeing Rax humiliated.

However, with this event being a joint affair of Half-Titans and Stone Giants, the pair stood together for now; in this setup, Payton couldn't allow Leo Ray to dominate the stage.

With Payton's words still ringing, he propelled himself ahead, bridging the distance to Leo Ray in almost no time.

"Two half-step Tier 7 experts ganging up on one from our side—isn't this a shameful act for a second-tier faction?"

Seeing this, Loris, Sina, and the rest voiced their concern, "Human Majesty, watch out!"

Yet before our group's anxious calls finished, Payton, blade lifted overhead, dove from the sky, unexpectedly chopping down at Leo Ray with all his might!

Boom!

In the midst of the thunderous energy collision, eyes bulged once again for everyone, as Payton—the aggressor—got repelled backward!
