The Martial Unity

WHOOSH

POW POW POW

A hint of frustration flashed on Nel's face. He was struggling to tag Kane, and thus far he hadn't laid a single finger on Kane. He had spent quite some time, swinging every time his nerves and senses tingled, but that strategy had failed.

The problem was simply sheer inadequacy.

Nel was slower than Kane.

He was less mobile than Kane.

He was less efficient than Kane in his movements.

Kane was an evasive specialist, and Kane had the Void Step technique on top of that.

Nel just had too many tables stacked against him. If not for his constitution, Kane would have already begun dominating him.

His only possible path to victory was outlasting Kane. However, Rui did not think this was realistic. There were several reasons for this as well.

While using the Void Step technique, Kane didn't need to go as hard on maneuvering. In fact, he didn't even need to use normal maneuvering technique, he could just take a casual stroll, and dodge every time Nel manages to get a strike somewhat close to him thanks to his sharp senses.

This way, he could conserve an immense amount of energy.

On the other hand, Nel fought like a maniac and burnt energy like there was too much. Every single movement was made with maximum effort regardless of whether it was necessary or optimal or not.

Furthermore, Nel hadn't mastered any Apprentice-level techniques yet, he was compensating by consuming far greater power than Apprentices did.

For example, if Nel and Rui launched a strike with equal amounts of power, Nel was able to consume several times more energy than Rui did for the same strike.

All of these variables meant that even if Nel had a greater energy reserve, his energy consumption was similarly greater. The two largely cancelled out each other.
