Chapter 1816 Holding Back

"Speed Void."

WHOOSH!

The Gatekeeper's narrowed as Rui cleanly evaded the finishing blow, leaping away as heaven and earth itself seemed to shackle the Gatekeeper in place.

That wasn't all.

"Fuuu..."

Rui activated Neo Godspeed at twenty percent while using Final Breathing at eighty percent, surging forward with much greater speed than before!

WHOOSH!

He evaded a powerful blow from the Gatekeeper, launching a powerful kick at the man's jaw. He threw every single technique into the Flowing Canon.

BAM!

It didn't so much as budge the man's head.

WHOOSH!

He somersaulted away, evading the man's extraordinarily swift and powerful blow. Suddenly, the Gatekeeper's body shifted, as his upper body dimmed while his legs brightened.

WHOOSH!

He appeared before Rui in the tiniest fraction of a millisecond, his legs dimmed as his upper body brightened. The most powerful and fastest blow of the battle was thrown at Rui.

WHOOSH!

Rui barely evaded the blow itself, yet the sheer shockwaves that emerged from it struck him point blank.

BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

"Rgh!" He grimaced

The destructive shockwave that emerged from the attack was so extreme that it battered Rui, engulfing him and everything beyond.

RUMBLE!!!

The very lands beneath them shook under the devastating power of the Gatekeeper!

That day, all of North Kandria experienced a small earthquake.

STEP

Rui leaped away with a grave expression, panting heavily. The Gatekeeper, too, took a moment to catch his breath after exerting himself to the very limit.

Silence spread across the battlefield.

Both warriors considered each other for a moment.

The Gatekeeper closed his eyes. "It has been a long time since I have been forced to think."

Rui shrugged. "It has been a long time since I have been forced not to."

The two of them couldn't help but share a brief, fleeting smile.

"I will stop holding back now."

Horror gripped Rui's heart at those words.

Chills crawled up his spine.

Fear emerged from the depths of his very being.

"...Hold back?" Rui whispered.

BADUMP!

His heart began glowing tremendously, shining from deep within the depths of his chest.

BADUMP!

Rui shook as he felt a shockwave emerge from the man's chest from the sheer weight of his heart.

BADUMP!!

RUMBLE

The weight of the man's heartbeat shook the very lands beneath them.

BADUMP!!!

The world quivered under the roar of his heart.

Rui stared at him with terror.

He wasn't the only one.

Not a single person watching could maintain their composure.

Not a single one of them could maintain their calm.

Every single one of them stared at the Gatekeeper with unadulterated shock.

"What is this...?" Palpable fear was visible on Master Ceeran's face.

"...I don't know," Master Zentra's voice, usually calm, had grown saturated with angst.

Not a single one of them knew what they were seeing.

They could only watch with horror as the Gatekeeper's power continued rising until every cell in his body glowed with power.

Raw power that transcended anything that was supposed to be possible in the Senior Realm.

"I have you to thank for this technique," the Gatekeeper's voice had grown inhumanly deep. "Thanks to your Hungry Pain technique, my greatest masterpiece was complete."

His pupils shined like two miniature suns.

He took his stance, readying for battle.

"Forbidden technique..." He whispered.

"Ragnarok."

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
