Chapter 2239 Turning Tables
"Tsk," Kane tutted, consuming a physical rejuvenation potion as he disappeared from the spot after having defeated Master Inyen.
Rui got up, glancing at her corpse momentarily. "Ah, well, I guess we'll never be able to put an end to our match."
He didn't really care.
He immediately surged to follow Kane and rejoin the main retreating group at the center as he watched Kane relentlessly bully the retreating Masters of the Sekigahara Confederate.
Their numbers had been trimmed from all the relentless harassment that they faced from the powerful Martial Seniors
"They're strong." Rui nodded, impressed. "Even the Sekigaharans are shocked by how strong the Seniors of the Kandrian Empire are."
The two largest reasons for this were the manifold and Rui's voidlet techniques. They had allowed the Kandrain Masters to be able to generate a system of thought a lot easier and sooner than they would have otherwise.
It had been eight years since he introduced his techniques, and since then they had been disseminated extremely far. Enough time had also passed for them to make a visible impact on Martial Seniors of the higher echelons.
And it was completely on display on the battlefield. Nearly all of the Kandrian Martial Seniors were thinking deeply with their systems of thought, using them to make the right decisions in combat to increase the probability of victory.
Even Nel had developed a system of thought, much to Rui's shock. Despite how low his capacity for systematic thought was, he was also already ready to become a Martial Master.
The only one who wasn't thinking was the Gatekeeper.
Yet, he was still the strongest of them all.
More importantly...
"At this rate..." Rui narrowed his eyes, "his Martial Body is going to reach the Senior Realm with its innate normal power, without the need of Martial Heart."
It was absurd, but that was how strong the Gatekeeper's body was becoming.
In this case, it was the trio that hit their limits first.
SPLAT!
Nel's grin grew gruesome as a blade impaled him, poking out from the front.
"Die, monster!" one Martial Master bellowed with desperation.
All it took was a single mistake for the battles to turn over.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
The Gatekeeper turtled into a defensive guard as more than twenty Martial Masters ganged up on him, blasting him with powerful attacks with deep desperation in hopes of downing the monster.
He was undoubtedly strong, but not even he could ignore such an immense influx of powerful attacks from those with active Martial Minds.
"That's not all..." Rui glanced at a group of exhausted Martial Masters that desperately consumed potions while their peers held off the small group of powerful Martial Seniors. "Things are about to get much harder."
BADUMP!!
"THAT'S IT!" Several Martial Masters with rejuvenated Martial Bodies and Hearts surged into battle. "I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!"
BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!
Of course, that did not mean their Minds were rejuvenated as only deep sleep could do that. But even the tiny spark of Mind capacity they had left was enough to turn the tides.
Hell, even if their Martial Minds were completely exhausted, they could still turn the tides with the sheer amount of power they could channel.
In turn, they could take over the duties of suppressing the three monstrous Martial Seniors while their peers earned their reprieve that they were looking for to consume their own potions.
The turning of one table led to a cascade of turning tables as an increasing number of rejuvenated Martial Masters ganged up on the three strongest Martial Seniors of the Kandrian Empire with fury, ready to repay them for their humiliation.
