Chapter 1494 Tomb
Earthquakes were seismic radiation generated through the displacement of land. Shifts in tectonic plates relative to each other caused a huge release of energy that spread over great distances, causing quakes to spread across a great area.
However, there was a person who sought to harness this mechanism and use it as the source of their power. Except in reverse.
Seismic radiation would diverge from the epicenter, which was generally located at the site of displacement. However, some discovered that if the diverging seismic radiation from the epicenter were to instead converge at the same epicenter, a reverse displacement would occur.
They were reversible phenomena.
This gave rise to the niche art of displacing land by generating converging seismic radiation with one's body.
Rui's eyes widened as the land beneath his feet sunk, and the surrounding bedrock rose, threatening to swallow him whole. His Seismic Mapping could sense a tremendous amount of seismic radiation being generated by both her feet.
'I see...' Rui realized as leaped, launching a Mighty Roar Flash Blast technique to blast himself an escape. 'She's using vibrations to generate seismic radiation and uses the principles of constructive resonance to cause radiation to converge and surge at any given point of her choice.'
BOOM!
Rui's eyes widened as several more surges of land struck him laterally, flinging him away. For a moment, he had been too immersed in his opponent's Martial Art.
She refused to give him even a moment of respite.
STEP STEP STEP!
She maneuvered towards him as she engaged in a deliberate form of footwork. Perhaps, others would be unable to understand their significance. This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
But not Rui.
His eyes narrowed as he leaped into the air. WHOOSH!
The slightest moment later, a surge of spikes emerged at the spot where he was standing, narrowly missing him.
She inhaled deeply, activating a tremendously powerful breathing technique as her arms swayed in specific matter, causing alterations in the generated wind currents to manipulate as she pleased.
RUMBLE!
The very atmosphere shook as she generated a tremendous amount of power. Rui's eyes widened as he felt an incredible downward force that pushed him closer to the ground.
"Rgh!" His expression grew grave as her overwhelming power pulled him down.
She had generated a powerful downward wind current with the power of her Martial Heart. Although she wasn't as old as Senior Zenshin, her body had much more time to mature than Rui's. She was far above him in terms of raw power.
And there was only one direction it could all go.
Up.
BOOOM!!!
Countless spikes erupted from the ground converging on Rui!
He was entangled in a web of spikes even as he extricated himself from the one impaling him, furthermore, he had no leverage to maneuver due to the absence of air beneath his feet to serve as a footing.
Perhaps Kane would have been able to avoid those attacks.
But alas, Rui was not Kane.
SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!
Countless spears impaled different parts of his body, making him bleed.
"Ack!" Rui spat blood as he grimaced.
She stepped about, dancing in an enchanting manner. The spikes that had tangled Rui about plummeted down, dragging him along as the downward pressure ensured he didn't escape.
Yet it was only after he reached the ground that the true attack had begun.
'Dominion Art: Tectonic Convergence,'
She clapped her hands. Generating tremendous amounts of power with a powerful breathing technique and her shining Martial Heart. All of that power was instantly turned into seismic radiation with her peculiar footwork and vibration. It caused the land to shift.
WHOOSH!
The land around Rui that had entangled him in impaling spikes instantly shifted, it flew down hundreds of meters in a tunnel.
"This land is a tomb." She whispered to him with seismic radiation.
"Your tomb."
Her hands clapped once more.
The land converged, moving in closer. The tunnel shut down as the walls moved in closer, eventually closing in on Rui, crushing him.
The very world weighed down on his impaled body with the weight of a mountain.
