The Martial Unity

Rui and Kane were shocked, but they forcibly suppressed their reactions as they focused everything they had on getting out. If the two of them made even a single mistake, it would truly be game over. Even Rui did not think he could survive an endless wave of Squire-level ants attacking him from all directions simultaneously.

Both of them needed to do their jobs just perfectly. Kane needed to maintain Void Step and ensure that he never stopped, even if Rui did, since he was the one maintaining the Void Step technique.

Rui, on the other hand, was responsible for navigating the way out. However, he couldn't just pick the most straightforward path since a lot of these paths were getting clogged up with ants that were rushing in. He needed to not only find paths that were free enough for them to travel through but also paths that weren't clogged up yet.

Not only that but he pushed himself to the absolute limit as he used the singular predictive model he had on the ants due to how similar they were to predict which tunnels would not get clogged and blocked, leading them to most likely eventually be detected as they would probably lose any room to move at some point.

Rui and Kane endured the pain of being cut by the extended claws of the passing ants with grim expressions. Making it out alive was their highest priority at the moment, such wounds were inconsequential.

"There it is! The exit!" Rui's expression lit up as they shot toward the end of the tunnel leading outside, before finally exiting the ant mountain.

The two of them heaved a sigh of relief amidst their pants.

"What the hell happened?" Kane asked, now that they were finally safe.
