Hever's muscle memory flashed as he just barely managed to reach Rui's attack in time.
WHOOSH
It was a feint.
Where did he go?
THUD
Rui had crashed into his lower abdomen before Hever could even realize! The force of the takedown had toppled Hever onto the ground flat. Hever wrangled like a serpent, but to no avail.
CLASP
Rui used Shifting Silhouette, his only grappling defense technique to suppress all of Hever's grappling activity, and successfully mounted Hever.
BAM BAM BAM!
Rui mercilessly pounded on Hever like a gorilla, using the full power of Outer Convergence and Vital Pressure.
Hever had begun bleeding immensely. He did not have any defensive techniques like Inner Divergence, even if he did, they would not work very well, if at all in such a scenario. Inner Divergence required the user shifting the area of impact as close to the center of the body as possible, whereas Rui had mounted him, preventing such a defense.
