The Martial Unity

The journey from there on took even longer than Rui had speculated. The two of them ran into all manner of environments, topographies, and ecosystems that defied what they thought was possible.

While they managed to overcome them, there were more close shaves than Rui had expected.

The Beast Domain was truly unpredictable.

It had an absurd degree of diversity and variance, and the very concept of consistency was foreign to the entire region.

Regions changed drastically every hundred kilometers; there was absolutely no continuity like there was in the Human Domain, where weather and climate did not change more than several percentage points across a hundred kilometers.

Rui had a hard time understanding how a piping hot desert could co-exist with a blizzard next door. It violated the laws of thermodynamics, as far as he was aware.

He also belatedly realized that such phenomena required him to make adjustments to the Angel of Laplace for every given region. He needed to adjust its functions to cater to the given mechanics of a given region, or else the technique would yield errors.

It was annoying but, thankfully, not insurmountable or too time-consuming.

They always ensured that they slept in an Apprentice-level region. As Martial Seniors, the passive mental pressure and danger that they would radiate to Apprentice and Squire-level creatures would be enough to ensure that they would not bother or harass them in any way.

Squire-level regions, on the other hand, were regions that they chose to pass as quickly as possible. These regions were deemed Squire-level because one needed to be Squire-level to be guaranteed not to die at the hands of another creature or the environment. This usually meant that there were a handful of Senior-level creatures which meant that it was impossible for Rui and Kane to lower their guards.

Yet, despite all their precautions, it was impossible not to get hurt, whether it be in the times that they were unable to avoid combat or were subject to harsh environments that managed to harm them despite their power. Rui proved the degree of his preparation for the Beast Domain, whipping up solutions for just about everything including the one time Kane foolishly ate poisonous fruit.

"Bleugh…" Kane vomited his guts out in the distance after Rui gave him an antidote and medicine to make him puke out the poison.
