Rui's eyes widened with shock as he felt a sharp flash of pain in his fingers.
They were crumpled in a gruesome manner.
Completely dislocated.
He didn't realize what had happened until after.
A violent finger lock that crushed his fingers before he could even react.
STEP
He leaped away from Ieyasu, cradling his fingers with a grim expression.
"You were right…" Ieyasu's tone was chilling.
His eyes grew fierce.
"I shouldn't have tried to rely on strengths that I didn't have. Instead…"
WHOOSH!
He appeared before Rui in the blink of an eye.
"…I'll rely on my own strengths."
A whopping ten assimilated techniques went into the strikes that flew towards Rui.
WHOOSH
Rui calmly evaded them.
Except, he didn't.
BOOM!!!
