The Martial Unity

The two of them treaded past the snow, heading straight for the blizzard.

"I can't even see the Pave of Graves anymore," Kane complained.

"I doubt the road survived all of this," Rui narrowed his eyes. "We'll just have to rely on my memory."

"…I know you're memory is good and all, but you're sure you have this, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm good," Rui replied.

The map he had memorized every detail of was intentionally extremely high-definition. He could actively track their position on it in real-time by translating the distance covered in real life to the distance covered in the map, allowing him to know exactly where they were.

"I don't have time to waste," Rui narrowed his eyes.

BADUMP!

His Martial Heart burst into life, empowering the entirety of his physicality. He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs to their maximum capacity.

THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM!!!

He launched his most powerful long-range attack.

BOOOM!!!

The tier-five Transverse Resonance attack crashed into the blizzard, instantly dispelling all the winds as the intense sound dispelled the winds swiftly, clearing a way for them.

"It'll reform soon; let's go," Rui remarked as the two of them shot forward and past the blizzard region swiftly. They maintained a brisk pace, crossing the snowy region within an hour and arriving on the other side quickly as they arrived at a cliff overseeing an enormous region that extended far into the distance.

The two continued traveling for hours.

Days even.

They stopped only for basic necessities, often prolonged because one of them needed to be awake when the other was asleep.
