章 801: Red Skies Too

Bru'li had never felt so small in the face of an enemy that could only be said to be a fraction of his size. He had been so focused on following the trail of Little Gem that he hadn't even bothered to waste time on the human she had been in the arms of. As far as he was concerned, considering the kind of weakened state their Princess would have been in when she was born and how weak this world was in general, how could he ever believe that there would be any sort of challenge waiting for him from Ryu?

But the moment Ryu spoke, the moment he had decided on something, it was as though the world itself had shifted, as though the Heavens themselves had decided to back his choices and act as a witness to his actions. 

The skies rumbled, the earth quaked, the air solidified and qi surged. Ryu's hair fluttered, his silver eyes brightening until they vanished into orbs of sparking lightning.
