Spontaneous Refinement

Rui took several minutes to consume a rejuvenation potion and a healing potion, returning him back to his peak shortly.

"Is it time?" Kane glanced at the herds of catoblepas in the distance, stretching beyond the eye could see in the Valley of Prisms.

"It's time." Rui narrowed his eyes. 

Without further ado, he activated a breathing technique, bending heaven and earth to his will as he levitated a herd of catoblepas to him.

"MOOOOOEEEAAAAUUUU!"

The catoblepas complained as they struggled to resist Rui's power. Yet, their paltry resistance was in vain, not even denting Rui's ironclad hold over them. They had grown less wary of Rui and Kane in the past year and a half, causing this to take them by surprise.

Yet, before they could even register Rui, a world of darkness had already encompassed all their senses.
