1499 Power
Rui's plan came to fruition perfectly. The moment the number of Martial Seniors reduced to two, the Gereign Base became viable for targeting. Before, he had avoided assassinating any target there because the risks were too high with the number of Martial Seniors residing in it.
He couldn't maintain the Greater Phantomind Void, at least without any risks of seriously messing up, while also engaging in heavy combat that required his full attention.
Thus, if he got hit with a long-range wide-scale attack after assassinating one of them, he would be exposed to be attacked by multiple strong Martial Seniors.
Even for him, that was not something he could overcome at his current level of power.
That was why he waited for the right moment; when there were only two Martial Seniors left.
Then, it was possible for him to do his regular assassination modus operandi by preparing and finding the right resonance frequencies to assassinate him with a single strike.
Infiltrating had been difficult, but with the intelligence that the Beggar's Sect supplied, he had been able to do it with relative ease. The hard part was maintaining Greater Phantomind Void over longer periods of time. This tired him out a lot and he had needed plenty of mental rejuvenation potions to compensate.
He had also made sure to take both mental and physical rejuvenation potions before he committed the assassination so that he would be ready to fight without reserve if he needed to.
And as it turned out, he did indeed need to.

His eyes had widened as four gashes had appeared across his arm after he headed toward Senior Zenshin, looking to attack him as well. Yet clearly the man's danger instincts were extraordinarily honed. Rui was impressed that he was able to sense his attack thanks to sheer instincts.
It was the first time that someone had managed to not be completely done in by the Greater Phantomind Void.
'I see, so his body isn't the only beastlike trait he has. His instincts have reached a level that makes even Primordial Instinct look trivial! Rui mused with interest.
"You..." Senior Zenshin muttered as his boiling emotions grew more intense by the second.
A powerful Flowing Canon crashed into the man's guard, pushing him away as he skidded back a meter.
'My strongest attack only did that much...? Oh boy...'
Yet he was unable to contain the crooked grin at the edge of his mouth. The only way he could beat Senior Zenshin was if he executed his adaptive evolution to the best of his abilities.
"You..." The man's ferocity only grew more feral. His breathing grew more strained as he choked out his words. "...What did you do to me?"
Rui narrowed his eyes as he leaped away, as formidable as the man's long-range prowess was, Rui knew that he could not afford to engage in close-range combat with those claws. He would literally be cleaved in half.

"GIVE ME BACK MY POWER!" He bellowed, jumping towards Rui at incredible speeds crossing the distance in an instant.
SPLAT!
"Rgh!" Rui grimaced as he blocked the man's claw swipes, pushing himself away as he opened the distance. He partially activated Weaving Blood, healing the deep gashes on his arms before swiftly launching a multitude of Mighty Roar Flash Blasts.
THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM!!
Rui fired away at full power, unwilling to hold back. Senior Zenshin was so strong that he may very well have to go all out with the Hypnomatrix and the Metabody System even before the VOID algorithm was completed.
"RARGH!" The man snarled as he swung his claws against every incoming attack, tearing it apart before he could even strike his body.
Rui narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth as he strained himself with sheer effort. It took him everything to he had just to keep Senior Zenshin at bay!
'And this is after I sealed away most of his raw power with Breathing Crucifix!' Rui's eyes widened with shock as he struggled to keep Senior Zenshin from closing the gap. 'I'd be dead if I fought him without the Hypnomatrix!'
Rui was glad that he decided to attack the Carnil Mafia after training under Master Zeamer. Had he chosen to do it before, he would undoubtedly be a dead man.
