Ryu realized that the situation was bad, and not just because of Jenneless. If he struggled with Jenneless, it was only a matter of time before everyone else realized that he wasn't able to bring out as much strength as he had before and chose to take advantage.
By now, he had replenished some of his Focus Qi, but it was only about 5% or so, and at that state, it still left him woozy. But it seemed that he didn't have a choice. So long as he didn't pass out and could stay on his feet, it would be enough.
The trouble was that it seemed that the lower his Focus Qi was to start, the less time it took to completely drain it.
'30 seconds. 30 seconds and I have to kill her.'
Ryu's aura changed and the pressure of a Sword God rippled from him. Almost instantly, his head threatened to split in two under a sudden migraine, but he ignored it, the pressure of his aura pressing down even fiercer.
