Rui had to think about what Kane had just told him.
"Increase speed… by increasing power but also reducing body mass by exhaling matter that can be discarded for the moment? What in the world…?" He murmured with a shocked expression.
It was an absurd proposition, frankly. It offended his sensibilities, even.
How could one shed so much weight with a single technique? Rui knew that he had to be shedding a solid proportion of the weight of the body.
Rui's eyes widened. "Is that why you looked so starved every time you finished using the ability? You were basically incapacitated every time you used the technique."
"It's not an easy technique to use," Kane sighed. "As you have surmised, there are great drawbacks to using it. Just barely obtaining the power of a higher Realm, even if just for the briefest of moments, requires one to pay a great price."
Rui was not surprised.
