The Frontal Lobe of the brain, as the name suggested, was the foremost part of the brain. It was responsible for conscious cognition as a whole.

It also happened to be the part of the brain that was closest to the eyeball and the eye sockets.

The distance between the opening of the eye socket and the Frontal Lobe of the brain was shorter than Rui's big toe. In a hypothetical scenario, if his toe were to enter a human eye socket at precisely the right angle and location, it would pierce the brain.

That had always been the most lethal option Rui had, from the very start. Yet he lost the first time despite possessing it.

What made this time all that different?

For one, her incredible active and passive defenses were no longer all that invulnerable.

Fae and Nel were using their tremendous power to seal her arms and shackle her neck and head in place.

As for her passive defense, her remarkable constitution wasn't particularly all that relevant here.

The only thing in between the Stinger and her brain was her eyeball and her eyelid.

Yet, previously, even this had been demonstrably enough. Rui could barely hurt her flesh. He did not think the Stinger alone could penetrate to her brain.

Yet, what was different this time was that the Stinger wasn't alone this time.

Although it propelled forward with the same power and speed it usually did, the difference was that its target was propelling towards it at remarkably high speeds and momentum.

Hever had grown far stronger in the past nine months since the Martial Contest.

He had added minor elements of other techniques to the Meteor Swing technique. Elements of breathing and muscle techniques to amplify power and speed. Elements of mental techniques to amplify his mind in a few different ways, conditioning techniques to amplify his grip.

It had taken him a long time to incorporate these elements into the Meteor Swing technique. But once he succeeded, the grade of the technique as a whole had risen.

It was no longer merely a grade-nine technique. It had stepped above the ninth grade and had slowly begun to approach grade ten.

It was a quasi-grade-ten technique.

That was the difference.

She struggled, but Fae and Nel coiled tighter and tighter. As strong as she was, she had no Squire-level techniques and was unaccustomed to her power. Not even a Martial Squire could overwhelm the many high-grade techniques that Fae used across her entire body to shackle her. It didn't help that Nel was outputting a power that wasn't too far off either. Even if she was slowly overwhelming them, she wouldn't make it in time.

Every time she shifted, Rui almost reflexively readjusted the Stinger's trajectory, refining the aim with Primordial Instinct.
