The Martial Unity

Chapter 2002 A Single Minute

The charge of the Master-level beast into close-range combat marked a shift in the battle. The first phase of the battle had ended within thirty seconds of commencement. It ended the moment a significant realization dawned on it.

The realization that it could not kill its target with low effort.

That its opponent was not weak.

That he wouldn't simply perish with little exertion.

That was all that this had been.

Little exertion.

The creature rushed against Rui with blinding speed and astronomical momentum, charging at him with full power as the jaws of the dragon and phoenix rushed to gobble him up in a single rush.

In just the briefest of moments, it had arrived before Rui could even react.

WHOOSH

Rui barely avoided the attack within an inch of his life as the creature crashed into an empty feint.

BOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

A collision larger than anything he had ever beheld in his entire life erupted as the devastating momentum of the creature ravaged the Mellow Manifold even further. Even the mere aftereffects of the horrifying power of the Master-level Beast possessed the ability to wipe out all life in the Mellow Dungeon.

Yet, the eyes of the chimera never shifted away from Rui.

Not once.

Its bloodlusted, tranced gaze bore into Rui even as its mighty tail flung itself at him with an astronomical velocity, threatening to erase him with a single blow.
