Chapter 359: Masks

It wasn't until Ryu had pierced toward over 200 meters away that the ground he exploded from blasted part, leaving a deep semi-sphere of over ten meters in diameter. And, by the time the pillar of light began to falter and wane, Ryu had already traveled over eight kilometers, just barely within the range of the flickering pillar of light. 

Ryu's jaw was covered in pulsing veins that snaked up his cheek and his forehead. He circulated [Fragment Breeze] to his utmost, making his inner organs scream as his Chaotic Silk Meridians pressed up against them. 

'… Not enough. [Second Pulse. Release].'

BOOM!

Space trembled beneath Ryu's speed. His thighs bulged, tearing the pants of his robes apart. 

Ryu subconsciously circulated [Lined Assault]. Never would he have thought that he would need to use a Black Grade technique in such a situation, but he found his body executing it before he could react.
