Aftermath

BADUMP

A profoundly deep avalanche of pressure swept over Rui and Kane, yet it didn't stop there. It rushed forward, untethered, bathing every sentient lifeform on the entire island.

THWOOM!

A wave of sound blew Rui and Kane with overpowering force, expelling them helplessly.

BOOM!

Rui crashed into the arena walls, coughing some blood as he quickly used Final Breathing to increase his pain resistance.

Yet he grinned as he beheld her Martial Heart.

"Twice in a week," She murmured. "Sarak and Leonil will never let me hear the end of it."

She sighed as she deactivated her Martial Heart, lessening the stress she exerted on the Martial Squires. "This sparring session has come to an end."

Soon enough, several medics and nurses entered the arena, tending to the wounded guardians.
