A Friend

The moment Bryan had come out of the woods, he had already begun weaving an illusion. Since then, he had been calmly watching from the sides as Ron continued to ruthlessly beat down a tree trunk.

He couldn't help but come to the conclusion that if it was really him instead of the tree trunk, he might have really been on the verge of dying. After all, those shots from Ron were very vicious.

Just as Bryan noticed that the veins had almost covered Ron's entire body, he decided to cancel the illusion. After all, he could now feel that Ron had gone past the peak strength brought about by his forbidden technique.

Now, Ron was experiencing the negative drawbacks of using such a technique. Despite that, being the cautious person that he was, Bryan decided to create another illusion in order to deliver a final blow to Ron.
