A devastatingly powerful wave of destruction emerged from Sage Sekiei, surging towards Rui with the full intention of eviscerating every last trace of his existence.
That was exactly what Sage Sekiei expected to see.
Against his most powerful Sage-level offensive technique, he didn't expect to see anything else.
He didn't want to see anything else.
And that was exactly why Rui's hypnosis worked so well against him.
SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!!!!
Sage Sekiei's expression lit up with delight as, in his eyes, Rui's body disintegrated upon the destructive force of his attack, splattering into the air as a flood of blood and gore.
For a moment, he was relieved.
And then, reality struck him like a train.
WHOOSH
The image faded away as Rui emerged before him, entirely unharmed shocking the Martial Sage frozen.
Delight turned to frustration.
Happiness turned to anger.
