Ryu appeared before Galkos, his fist shooting outward like a streaking star. It was hard to tell when he had sent it forward, but the strength behind it was undeniable.
Even before Ryu's fist landed, the land beneath his feet had split and the clouds above rippled. The rolling air currents around it were so violent that it looked as though Ryu was punching through the ground despite the fact his attack was nowhere near it.
Galkos' expression was weighed down by his own solemnity. His Earth Inheritance surged, his feet anchoring themselves to the ground and gravity of the surroundings multiplying several times over.
The space around Ryu's fist bent and twisted as the air compressed. It was as though everything was beginning to weigh heavier, and yet, Ryu's attack was unmoved.
