Outside the seaside military fortress, the alien fruit plant that shimmered with fiery-red radiance stood out strikingly against the backdrop of the drenching torrential darkness. A figure soared through the wind and rain, cutting across the storm on a flying sword.
His voice trailing him, the majestic figure upon the sword plucked the nine fruits off the plant with a swift movement of his hand and quickly swallowed them one after another, his eyes glowing fiercely.
"Boom....."
The figure closed his eyes and took a moment to meditate. The surge of vital energy emanating from within him disrupted the heavy rain around him. The supersonic boom from his rapid arrival on a flying sword barely caught up, but with the invisible force that swirled protectively around him, even this fearsome impact failed to cause any damage to his surroundings.
Inside him, the powerful surge of vital energy was triggered by the consumption of the fruits, washing over his entire body.
