Rui gazed at her with amazement as he studied her body in detail.
Her supple, bronze skin.
Her amber eyes.
Her brown hair.
The contours of her feminine body.
She was beautiful.
And more importantly, she was strong.
BOOOM!
A tremendous palm blow ravaged his guard, launching him away as he used his root manipulation to bleed his momentum, using the Scriptures of Terra to stabilize himself almost immediately.
And yet, her palm had already arrived inches within him in the blink of an eye.
It was within his prediction.
WHOOSH
He had ducked, avoiding her destructive attack cleanly. He used the roots beneath his feet to launch himself away from her faster than he would be able to do by himself. And yet, despite his predictions, he wasn't able to get out of a defensive deadlock, barely hanging on.
'My interface is delaying me.'
