CHAPTER 2384: DO YOUR WORST
What followed was a one-sided chase.
One after another, each Master fell as they scrambled off in different directions. They weren't able to get very far after they were reduced to asthmatic patients by his Breathing Crucifix, allowing them to be picked off one after another.
By the time he was done, there were corpses littered everywhere on the battlefield.
The battle had ended.
"Tsk, that sneaky bastard is gone," Rui tutted with displeasure, panting with exhaustion. "Next time, I'll kill him first. I wonder if he'll show up with a counter to my counter of his light beams."
Rui could think of a few.
He wasn't kind enough to pass them on.
"Now then," Rui murmured as he returned his Megamind to a hundred percent and rose high up in the air. "What to do with those who weren't able to escape?"
In the brief time that he had reduced Megamind, half of the Masters had been freed by his grip and had escaped back to the alliance.
The rest of them had barely managed to move or get out of the way, struggling like they were physically crippled.
Their expressions grew grave when Rui landed in front of them.
"...Twenty eight left," Rui calmly remarked. "Oh well, this is the price I pay for reducing my Megamind."
His cold gaze swept across the Masters who struggled to move under the weight of his Martial Embodiment.
VMMM!!!
He activated his Yin-Yang Spear with a distasteful expression. "It's a shame you guys were too weak to even make me adaptively evolve. Now I can't even enjoy a satisfying victory."
BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!
CRACK CRACK CRACK!
With well-placed attacks, each Master died very quickly. While he had absolutely no sympathy for people who would kill him in cold blood if they could, he wasn't sadistic by heart.
Once the job was done, he heaved a sigh, deactivating the Metabody System.
"I need to get back immediately."
He had thoroughly exhausted his reserves during the battle. He needed to get back, lest he exhausted his Realms of power and was reduced to a Martial Squire.
WHOOSH!
He shot back to the Shionel Confederation as fast as he could as his thoughts fell back to the battle he had just participated in.
He had been the sole participant from the Shionel Confederation and had single-handedly achieved a victory against a hundred Masters. While much of it had been due to a niche mechanism that perhaps only he could exploit in the whole wide world, he knew that he had just broken the Martial World with both his previous battles.
A Master was not supposed to be able to defeat a hundred Masters. But because he had obtained a combination of a cheat code and a supercomputer, he could hack into the game and obtain victories that were supposed to be impossible even for grade-thirties.
He knew that the impact of this battle would be great.
On a political level, he had just proven that the Kandrian Empire had the power to beat back its opponents. The impact of the devastating losses that the Shionel Confederation had suffered in the previous battle was now minimized as the Kandrian Empire demonstrated that it was still in the game.
Master-level battles mattered because Masters were the vanguard that focused on doing as much damage to their enemies as possible. Thus, when they were much weaker than the enemy Masters or, in this case, Master, it was like using a spear with a tip made out of glass against a shield made of reinforced steel.
It didn't matter what the spear's body was made out of if the tip was too weak to puncture the enemy.
In other words, Rui had demonstrated that he was an absolute menace not just strategically thanks to the breakthroughs that he provided, but also because he could solo Master-level battles all by himself.
This was so significant that not only did it make up for the gap in numbers of Masters from both sides, it also overcompensated, firmly putting the Kandrian Empire as superior on the Master-level battlefield.
On top of that, for Martial Art, it represented the breaching of a new territory of power within the Master Realm. The fact that he could accomplish the feats that he did at his age and youth in the Master Realm was something that the Martial World would not be able to ignore to any
degree.
Of course, it was not the first time he had done this. He had done this in the past with each Realm that he had entered.
However, it was an entirely different matter to accomplish extraordinary feats as a Master than as a Senior. Masters were extremely powerful and influential combatants in the world, second only to Sages.
Thus, when one accomplished the impossible as a Master, the entire world paid attention. This was especially so when he was the same person who could trigger mass breakthroughs.
He was too bright for the world to overlook.
Rui wasn't sure what the consequences would be like but, at this point, the alliance would probably send a squad of Martial Sages purely for the sake of killing him.
If they could just kill him, they would be able to win the war in their perspective. So long as they didn't have enough Sages to win an all out war without a pyrrhic victory, they would need to fight Master-level battles.
And so long as they could kill Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria, they would be able to win Master- level battles.
On top of that, as long as they could kill him, the breakthroughs would disappear, depriving the Kandrian Empire of a powerful carrot.
Thus, Rui returned back to safety knowing that, from that day on, he was the most important
target to kill.
The alliance would do absolutely everything they could to bring harm to him.
He had become the most wanted man in all of East Panama by his enemies. He knew that theyThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
would throw everything they could to kill him.
Yet, the thought simply brought a smile to his face.
"Do your worst."
