The Martial Unity

The Suffocator did not appear to be in a hurry.

Rui found this strange.

Instead, he simply noted Rui's enhanced regeneration, as mentioned in the intelligence that they received, born from the Hungry Pain technique.

"Who put you up to this?" Rui growled as he recuperated, grateful to the assassin for giving him a few seconds to catch his breath.

He may have already triumphed over the twins, but they definitely strained and stressed him out.

He even deactivated his Martial Heart. It was an extraordinarily precious resource at the moment.

"I have no idea," The Suffocator replied. "Probably someone extremely powerful. You have powerful enemies, Rui Quarrier."

His strange accent being warped through the mask left his speech to be quite different.

"Have you bated your exhaustion?" The Suffocator asked helpfully.

"…Do you mind if I drink a rejuvenation potion?"

"Even my generosity has limits," The Suffocator scoffed. "Now then. Bare your domain."

Rui raised an eyebrow. "Why would I do tha-"

"If you don't want to die, that is," The Suffocator's voice grew cold as he began bending heaven.

Rui's eyes widened as he got a good look at what he was doing.

He was creating a density of gradient vertically, then filtering out gases of a certain amount of relative density by eliminating gas across between that gradient.

Namely, oxygen.

That left a domain without any oxygen.

Rui held his breath as he leaped away, yet the man leaped along with him while also expanding the domain with him.

"What's the matter?" The Suffocator's voice called out to him. "Cat got your domain? Not confident you'll win?"

He was surprisingly fast, refusing to allow Rui to exit his domain.
