Unfolding
Of all the things that he could possibly have done against a Martial Sage, Rui didn't expect that he would be directing his bloodlust towards one.
It was an act that had an extremely high mortality rate.
Yet, the deep disgust he felt at even having questioned dedicating himself to Project Water instantly turned into deep rage. Rage against the one who had caused him to question his Martial Path, even if only for a moment.
He wanted to erase the one who caused him to question his Martial Path from existence.
Erase him from history.
Erase the very fact that such a thing had ever even happened.
His bloodlust deepened.
It was palpable, wringing the very air around them taut.
His fury boiled.
It boiled until it no longer could.
In that moment, he had become beholden to it.
At that moment, he snapped.
BADUMP!
