章 1624: Intervention

Never had Master Krakule experienced such a turn of tables. Even while Rui choked him, he realized that this was part of the boy's plan.

A hand was not all that useful in a rear choke hold that occurred at the elbow. 

He had sharply predicted that Master Krakule would employ an active defensive offense to deter Rui away.

But what if Rui was not deterred?

What if he bore the consequences in order to win the battle?

A losing battle could instantly be transformed into a winning one.

Rui crushed down on his throat with the full power of everything he could muster, activating Hypertrophic Surge in place of Weaving Blood, completely sealing off the blood flow to his head.

On top of that, he pushed the Breathing Crucifix technique to one hundred percent, cramping down on the man's breathing.

On top of that, a current of electricity passed through the man's nerves, inducing a paralytic effect, crippling him even more.
