Rui did his very best to exploit the flaws and shortcomings in the VOID algorithm. Exchange after exchange, he abused them to the best he could. The disadvantage he had accumulated prior was slowly starting to get mitigated.

The biggest problem was that his shadow clone self didn't really seem to be capable of taking damage. Even if Rui pounded it with a barrage of powerful attacks, it would get up, walk it off and continue as if nothing happened. Whereas any damage Rui took didn't magically disappear, he retained all of it. Even if his new tactic allowed him to outplay his opponent, the lack of damage and fatigue on his opponent's part meant that none of it ever stuck.

Rui had to work harder and harder each time he wanted to overwhelm his opponent.

But what did it matter? His opponent simply got back up and continued fighting with the same ferocity as before. Rui's combat kept getting duller and duller.

It only snowballed even further as time passed.

BOOM!!

Rui grimaced as a powerful Flowing Canon flung him away. He crashed into his immediate surroundings, getting up quickly.

An eternity had passed. He felt as though he was going insane with all this endless fighting. He was bleeding profusely and panting heavily in exhaustion. He felt his mental body going limp with fatigue.

Yet, he didn't give up.

He grabbed the incoming attack from his shadow clone, using Flow Flux to throw him off. He launched a Tempestuous Ripple, blasting the shadow clone of his with a wind blast. His shadow clone swiftly recovered launching another attack.

BAM!

Rui grimaced as the attack crashed into his abdomen, unguarded.

PEW!

The Stinger slammed into his clone's head. Yet, Rui wasn't done. He launched a barrage of attacks that bypassed the VOID algorithm via its flaws and shortcomings.
