Chapter 2382: Jaws of Death



The second that Rui found a way to adaptively evolve to Master Brigsby's pesky tactical support, the other Masters experienced a deep terror in their bones.

They felt a blood-curdling peril emerge from Rui that made them swallow.

Nothing about him had changed before.

Neither his power level nor his effective combat strength.

What changed was their own evaluation of him, which generated immense fear from the depths of their heart.

The barrier of protection that was protecting them from defeat, Master Brigsby's powerful tactical support, had now been stripped away, leaving them to deal with the monster before them unaided.

It was like how humans could relax in the zoo with the knowledge that the reinforced glass was very much able to protect them from the powerful animals caged within.

But god forbid that the lion ever managed to break the glass and step outside to confront the humans directly. They would experience a shackled fear emerge deep within them. The fear of dealing with the lion without protection was paralyzing and suffocating.

Of course, the gap between Rui and his opponents was not as large, and thus, they were not nearly as debilitated.

Still, over the course of the battle, they gained a good understanding of why the Void Prince had gained as much notoriety as he did. He was truly a monster when it came to his ability to adaptively evolve against his opponents.

Most of them were far superior to him physically, especially so in his weakened state, but he somehow was able to block their attacks despite the great disparity in power and evade their attacks despite the massive disparity in speed. On top of that, there was the overwhelmingly powerful hypnosis that allowed him to almost entirely cripple them in a single go.

How were they supposed to deal with that without Master Brigsby's immensely lethal and fast light attacks?

WHOOSH!

Rui raced towards them, startling them where they stood.

Despite his lack of movement speed, following him was hard as he applied Phantom Step to the maximum, throwing them off with feints and fakes as well as misdirection that allowed him to close the gap with them without being able to avoid them.

He was now on the offense.

"Get away!" An offensive Master desperately exclaimed as he launched a flurry of blows in Rui's direction, threatening to knock him out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unfortunately for him, Rui didn't slow down by even a beat.

All it took were the slightest adjustments well ahead of time, and he was able to evade each blow like butter.

The man may as well have tried to stop a ghost.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

Rui surged in with a Yin-Yang Spear that flew towards his opponent's torso.

At the same time, a beam of light flew towards him, ready to bore a hole in his head.

Unfortunately, it didn't matter anymore.

He had bet that Rui wouldn't be able to adaptively evolve to him, and it turned out that he had

bet wrong.

VMMM VMMM VMMM!

Rui's smile turned into a smug chuckle as the laser attacks grew more frequent than they did before, yet they missed him further and further away than before.

He was glad that the Master appeared to be tilting to the highest degree. Instead of rationally accepting that his greatest weapon had been defeated, he allowed himself to be thrown off his

game by denial.

That worked in Rui's favor.

"Time to hunt the rest of you buggers down, and then I'll come for you myself," Rui remarked as he chased after the remaining Masters all by himself.

They grouped up, hoping that combining their numbers would be able to throw the Void

Prince off his delicate but powerful offense.

Unfortunately for them, he had developed the Megamind technique precisely for these

reasons.

BOOOOM!!!

His eyes narrowed as he saw a scene that was familiar to him.

Yet another tsunami of water surged towards him as the aquatic Master activated technique

once more.

Her goal was clear; she wanted to engage Rui for long enough to give the other Masters an opportunity to attack him off-guard.

"Aquarequie-!"

"Niflheim." Rui's tone was calm as he summoned the realm of frost faster than the enormous

wave of water surged toward him.

FSSS...

The distinct but unmistakable sign of water freezing rapidly hissed through the air.

The incoming Masters' expressions grew dumbfounded as they realized that they weren't

going to catch him off-guard due to the water.

They had wound up jumping straight into the jaws of death!
