Chapter 2378: Surprising Attacks
The high-grade Masters instantly understood how Rui had handled the previous battles all by himself. His ability to cope with multiple high-grade opponents was truly impressive. He dodged powerful attacks while blocking swift attacks, choosing the most optimal defensive strategy for each attack that he faced.
That, along with his unnaturally powerful domain and his astronomically powerful hypnosis, he could handle himself no matter what mob he found himself having to deal with. Yet, they were determined not to lose.
The philosophy of this particular battle was identical to their previous approach. Confronting the Void Prince with powerful combatants and a numerical advantage was the best way to deal with this. Last time, the only reason that the Convergence lost was because an unknown Martial Sage had intercepted them out of nowhere.
They were convinced that this modus operandi was the way to defeat the Void Prince and kill him once and for all. BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Rui leaped away lightly as he evaded powerful attacks one after another. The able Martial Artists who were fighting him had already taken different positions and formations across the battlefield in what was clearly a coordinated effort. This development drew Rui's attention more than anything. Unusual as it was for Masters to engage in such a level of coordination, he wasn't able to spend his time studying their formations unhindered.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!
He dodged each attack one after another with immaculate timing, ensuring that he only exerted the bare minimum amount of energy to deal with each of them. Yet, while he was able to deal with long-range Martial Artists easily enough, it was the short and mid-range Masters that gave him the most trouble.
RUMBLE!!
Rui's eyes widened as he saw something that he never expected to see.
A tsunami of actual water!
It rumbled as it surged towards the battle field at an extraordinary speed, guided by a Martial Master who stood atop the wave..
A single whisper escaped her. "Aquarequiem.."
BOOOOOOMMM!
The enormous and powerful wall of water crashed into his fiery domain, submerging it and him in what he discovered was genuinely actual water.
WHOOOOOOSH!!!
He froze before leaping away as fast as he could. Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough. VMMM!!!
SPLAT!
His eyes widened as a powerful beam of light blasted a hole through the side of his shoulder, where his heart had been a moment ago. He had barely managed to evade death.
VMMM!!!
The laser burrowed into the ground in the distance, blasting a hole that stretched deeper than even Rui's vast senses could detect.
His gaze shifted in the direction that the attack had emerged from.
Master Brigsby grumbled at the missed shot, cursing Rui's powerful senses as he disappeared from the spot.
He could not remain in the same spot as before.
After all, his Martial Path was Long-Range Tactical Support.
An extremely rare supplementary Martial Path that allowed him to focus all his power on synergetically aiding other Martial Artists to defeat their enemy. He was usually brought in when they were facing an enemy that was extremely difficult to take down.
The enemy alliance had pulled out all stops in order to kill Rui.
Most other Martial Artist would have been petrified at that knowledge.
not Rui.
It merely brought a smile to his face.
He looked forward to the rest of the fight.
