Still, he didn't care.

Rui's eyes widened as many light gashes appeared across his entire body as Master Krakule's palms flew back, stained with Rui's blood at the finger tips.
Yet the elder Master wasn't done, his attacks curled in all kinds of trajectories at absurdly high speeds, rushing forward towards Rui.
Yet, something had changed.
