'Five minutes…?'
Boom!
Atlas estimated how long Horus would last as he dodged the oncoming attacks.
'In my current state, I can take only a few more direct hits from him before I collapse. He will fall in five minutes or less, as his qi may not last for so long. In order to stay untouched for that much time…'
[Burst Step] wasn't enough. That was a movement technique that prioritized straight-line speed. It was able to move him in any direction, which made it useful, but in a close combat match like this, its movements were too obvious.
The extent to which a Core Formation Realm cultivator could use movement techniques wasn't great. Atlas kept himself using only [Burst Step] because he was being mindful of the condition of his body.
