The Martial Unity

RUMBLE…

"Get in!"

"Take shelter!"

"Make sure the kids are safe!"

The Quarrier Orphanage was in a state of panic when the earthquake ensued; the Kandrian Disaster Management Authority had issued emergency announcements to the northernmost parts of the Kandrian Empire, warning them about potential earthquakes throughout the entire day.

RUMBLE…

Lashara held on to the kitchen counter with fear in her eyes.

For some reason, despite all the chaos, a single thought rang in her head.

A single person.

"Rui…" She whispered.

"Be safe."

Alas, it was questionable whether her wish would be granted.

The Gatekeeper pushed his leg into the ground, launching himself forward at more than twice his previous speed.

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The very act caused mountains to erupt in the air behind him. The battlefield shook as the Gatekeeper launched himself at speeds that were not supposed to be possible in the Senior Realm.

WHOOSH!!!!!

In the briefest fraction of a millisecond, he had already arrived before Rui. Instantly, the most powerful and fastest attack of the battle converged on him.

It threatened to crush him.

Ragnarok was originally a forbidden technique that relied on the metabolic immolation of the cells of his own body to generate power that exceeded the Senior Realm. Unfortunately, while the power of the technique made him more than twice as fast and strong, it was a technique that would extract his life should he actually use it.

With the advent of the Hungry Pain technique, Sir Armstrong discovered it was possible to significantly offset the worst consequences of the technique. It was his ultimate trump card. As far as he was concerned, there was no force in the Lower Realms that could withstand the power of the technique.
