Minutes passed.
The Hammerer struggled vigorously. Yet each of his movements was hampered by Heavenly Convergence.
The technique made him feel like he was trying to move while trapped at the center of an ocean of adhesive. By the time his attack struck Rui behind him, most of the power had gone into pushing against Heavenly Convergence.
Every movement he made.
Every attack he made.
Every haymaker he threw.
They were insufficient.
He still would have succeeded in shaking Rui off even after the shackles of Heavenly Convergence if not for the second pair of shackles on not his body but his mind.
Breathing Crucifix prevented him from inhaling the air he needed to generate the power and energy he needed to break free of Rui's grasp.
On top of that, Rui's powerful arm crushed against his windpipe like a constrictor, stopping all breathing.
The man struggled.
