The Martial Unity

The branches of the trees of the Serevian Dungeon had incredible penetrative power. Rui recalled when he had first entered the Serevian Dungeon, he had been penetrated by a branch that easily impaled him with no difficulty, despite the Adamant Reforging technique making him extremely tough and durable. It had also moved fast enough to bypass his reflexes when he wasn't alert and focused.

This meant that it was extremely likely to be quite lethal to most Martial Apprentices. However, this never mattered because the branches weren't a threat to Martial Apprentices they were only a threat to threats perceived to be in the Squire Realm.

This was the very core of the plan that Rui had come up with. If he used the Squire-level mask, he would be triggering the tree and the branches would be unleashed toward him.

He also knew from experience when testing them that the branches didn't give a shit what was in between them and their target, they simply moved through the shortest path between themselves and their target; a straight line.

They didn't care what blocked their path, they simply blasted past any and all obstacles between them and their target.

Rui had wondered, what if there was an army between him and them?

In this case, the branches would blast through the army in order to reach him.

What if that army was an army of the enemy?

Wouldn't that have meant that Rui could vanquish an entire enemy army in a blink of an eye as long as he and the army and the trees were positioned correctly?

It was then that Rui realized that the squire-level Mind Mask technique was extremely powerful because it had the power to manipulate the Serevian Dungeon to its favor.

In the Serevian Dungeon, Rui was the only being who commands the Serevian Dungeon, indirectly. When Rui realized the devastating potential of his plan, he immediately submitted it to Commissioner Feristen and Colonel Carnes. The two of them were initially skeptical of such a plan, but as Rui explained they grew increasingly shocked as they realized the viability of the plan wasn't low.
