Khal used his Diamond Skin to protect his feet and halt his movement speed at the very last moment, leaving deep and long trenches on the ground with his legs.
"Activate... The Defense System... Now!" Khal stared at the two gatekeepers before him, trying to calm his ragged breathing down as fast as he could.
Just now, his body, especially his legs, had been boosted and healed by Asur, letting him run at full speed like crazy! But because of this, in the end, the burden his legs had to bear was greater too; so even though he just ran for close to 10 minutes with refreshed vitality, because of the tremendous boost his legs got they felt extremely numb.
Yet, even though he said what he did, the two guards before him looked at each other in silence and suddenly burst out in loud laughter.
"Haha, he said to activate the Defense System with such confidence! Haha, look at him... how naive."
