The sheer force of the impact launched the clone flying away across the battlefield, landing into the ground in a titanic crater.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
RUMBLE!!!!!
Blood spewed from the clone's deformed chest as he struggled to breathe. His vision grew blurry as his heart stopped beating.
He should have died.
But much to his shock, his body began healing.
His flesh began mending itself as new blood was spontaneously generated within his body; his bones began snapping back in place in an excruciating process.
His internal organs began stabilizing as his Weaving Blood technique grew empowered by a strange external force.
STEP
STEP

Rui emerged from the dust, leaping into the crater as he arrived before the clone's devastated body with a knowing expression.
"That was pretty close," he admitted. "If I hadn't copied and mastered Etherea Corpa at the very final moment, you might have actually killed me."
