Ryu stood silently, watching Vense. He didn't need to turn back to know that Selheira had made it through. Though he was a bit worried about her, he was also confident that she wasn't a glass vase. She would be able to survive the length of time he needed to get to the other side.
Empana was quickly approaching his breakthrough as well, and he had the upper hand in the battle.
Unfortunately, he still didn't attack to deal a death blow to Vense just yet because another powerhouse had made it through and was rushing ahead at their greatest speed.
Ryu didn't know much about Horned Devils. The first time he had fought one, they had been summoned by the Martial Gods back on Sacrum.
Back then, everything was a blur, and he just crushed everything in his path. Aside from their enormous size and sturdy bodies, the rest of his knowledge was limited.
