BOOM!!!
Ruri was just a few meters away, watching with wide eyes and clenched fists as her master fought. She wished to help, but at the moment, it was futile. However, her determination was even stronger. Ruri understood that she couldn't rely solely on a single style or technique; if she had honed her skills in armed combat, she would still have the ability to fight.
Alm, now facing the Infernal Beast, advanced with his fists. A brutal fight unfolded, with powerful and swift blows being exchanged, making the ground shake.
His fists hit the beast with surprising force, causing cracks in the runes that composed it. It was as if he were fighting against an ethereal entity, almost without a defined form, but its attacking power was far from light. Alm and Bruno's physique, however, was alarmingly resilient; they no longer seemed human but rather beasts themselves.
