Rui's eyes widened with shock. "What?!" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
He was unable to comprehend the story that Sage Arrancar alleged. Fear?
A Martial Transcendent? Beings that were an entire Realm of power above Martial Sages?
How could such beings even experience fear? What force in this world, aside from their peers, could evoke such an emotion from them?
He didn't know.
He was out of his depth to have any chance of remotely uncovering the truth.
"I don't understand..." Rui murmured. "Nobody does," Master Krakule heaved a sigh. "There are only thirteen Martial Transcendents across human civilization, and each of them possesses absolute power. The things that they have accomplished the scarce instances that these godly beings exercise their power...it's truly unbelievable that a single being is allowed to possess such absurd power. Their very existences are miracles."
"You wish to challenge me, boy?" His deep voice reverberated through the skies. "You, a Martial Senior, will challenge a Martial Master?"
Rui didn't respond, staring the man down intensely.
"Let us dispense with waiting for a Martial Senior to be dispatched," He pulled a communication device typing and fiddling with it. "I shall personally register myself as your combat opponent. I solemnly swear on the great name of Kandria to not actively use my Martial Mind. I shall restrict myself to the power of the Lower Realms to make this a fair fight."
He stared at the Martial Master wordlessly.
"What's the matter, boy? Are you afraid you will lose?" The Martial Master taunted Rui with a ferocious grin.
Rui's eyes narrowed. He took a neutral stance, distributing his weight evenly across centered legs as his arms came before him, his hands balling into fists.
"Nah, I'd win."
