Most of Steppenwolf was protected by armor, and he wasn't injured by the energy bullets, but he had to cover his face with the ax.
Also, he couldn't completely avoid the impact of the energy explosions.
The dense blue rain of bullets continually pushed him back, instantly disrupting his smooth battle tempo.
Diana, who had been feeling under pressure, instantly seized the opportunity and lunged forward, her longsword sweeping across Steppenwolf's legs.
Master Wayne was an extraordinary expert at rhythm. He stopped attacking almost the moment she started moving.
Steppenwolf didn't even have time to curse as he continued to retreat.
Arthur also went around to stab Steppenwolf in the butt with his trident; he didn't care about the dignity of his divine weapon at all.
Steppenwolf swung the huge ax to block this shameless attack, before the ax flipped back to block Diana's attempt to amputate him.
