The Martial Unity

The moment she stepped away, he too shifted. His legs immediately changed directions, planting themselves into the ground, as he managed to conserve momentum, altering his direction towards her.

Her eyes widened in shock as he once again shot himself against her, this time nearly point blank!

POW!

What followed unfolded so fast, that even Rui had trouble keeping up. He launched himself at her nearly point-blank range.

In an ordinary case, victory was but guaranteed. But not against an opponent that seemed to have eliminated thought!

POW!

He grinned as he felt the impact!

Yet his expression soured when he turned back.

She was conscious. Her arms were intact, yet they were bruised visibly. And she had already rushed back towards him with a powerful charge!

'She mitigated the impact with a well-timed retreat and shift.' Rui mused. 'That would have been impossible without her ability to move without thought. She would have been too slow and he would have broken her arms and mangled her body, to say the very least.'

The battle escalated to a higher echelon of intensity as the Kandrian prince refused to let the battle return to its previous state!

Letting his opponent take all the initiative was something he could not allow. While he was confident in his defenses, he had to admit that he had admitted her ability to hurt him. Letting that continue with as little resistance as before was no longer an acceptable choice.

"RARGH!" He rushed forward with a determined expression.

And yet, much to everyone's surprise, the elder lady, launched herself at him fearlessly.

While many others would have chosen prudent passivity in her place, she rushed forward in the face of an attack that could cripple her without even the slightest hesitation of inhibition.

WHOOSH!
