Words : 1013 Updated : Sep 17th, 2025

Jang raised a brow in confusion, but nonetheless, he charged forward, his body appearing to warp into space and reappear as it collided with Raph's blade. A sonic wave exuded out of their little confrontation, and the force pushed the snow around them. Ice began to creep up Jang's fist, but his expression remained unphased. Discover hidden tales at empire He gripped his fist hard, and yang energy surged through, a fiery light igniting around his fists. "Be proud, Raffaelo Jun, this is the third time I use a Kang Lin technique on you," Jang said, his voice exuding a mix of strength and arrogance with the newfound power. "Huh?" Raph muttered, his thoughts mumbling to him. 'Didn't you use just one?'. That's right; with the use of his abilities, he had not even seen the need to use his Family's techniques until now. "6th step of the Imperial Mystic Kang Arts! Descending Rule." This time, instead of an anti-gravitational pull, something entirely opposite occurred - a gravitational push. BOOM. The force shattered the tall snow pillars and glacier spires into smithereens, descending like a sledgehammer on anyone unfortunate enough to be in its way. But even at that, Raph had his own way of fighting back against this sort of force. In fact, powerful Jun's like Gloria and Michealo could easily tank this sort of gravitational force, but Raph was far away from their level. A master at the 8th star and a grandmaster at the 10th star are worlds apart. The force finally descended on him, and his body screamed within that force. Had he not experienced something similar once? He did; Ciara had used gravitational magic as well, but this...this was at least three times as powerful. Jang was a Martial Artist with incredible martial prowess and had attained the Mid-stage of the Body Tempering Rank at an early stage. But even then, he couldn't catch up with Raph at the beginning, but when he broke through into the Late stage, he could finally get a breather. His foundation was still shaky, to say the least, but it was much more powerful than he was previously. His gravity was bound to be more powerful than the Merlin's girl, and Raph could feel the brunt of it. His body felt like it was under a mountain, and yet he still stood, fending off the constant attacks from Jang as he tried frantically to find an opening to land a killer blow. Raph refused to let this happen; his mind and will were unshaken as he swung his sword in beautiful arcs while the chilling smoke followed its wake, clashing and fending off the fiery fist of Jang Kang Lin. Both seemed to be confused. One was trying to find an opening and was confused at how Raph still had the strength to stand, and Raph was confused at how he was still able to stand. Maybe he had underestimated Resonance much more than he realized. Jang's body was a mix of dirt and crimson, as blood dribbled down his body. His head ached bitterly as he tried to stand up, staggering only to regain his posture once again. His eyes were lethargic, half-open, and the fire within them had burnt out. 'Was the 7th too strong for me after all?' He wondered, but what could he have done? He would have been defeated by that attack if he had let it through. His body was in a world of pain, and his vast ki had trickled down to a small palmful. He used his family's technique, one after the other, starting from the 3rd and reaching the 7th. His body could hardly exude more ki now. "Hah....I hope he's unconscious now," he muttered under his breath, but to his utter dismay, he was not. Raph stood at least 500 meters away from Jang, but he wasn't far enough for his eyes to note how perfectly fine he seemed to be. 'How? How was he able to survive that?' It wasn't the attack that had caused him so much pain, but the aftermath. The shockwave was too quick and powerful for him to set up any perfect form of defense, and he had no choice but to use the environment as a shield...so how. "You're curious?" Raph asked with a raised brow, his voice penetrating the dust that raised in the air. Jang remained silent, his pupils flickering as they were fixed on Raph. Raph chuckled when he didn't respond after waiting for it. "What kind of idiot doesn't know that the aftermath of a powerful attack is worse off than the attack itself?" Jang's eyes widened in shock, and his body stiffened. 'Are you telling me...he anticipated it already and found a method of protecting himself?'. The fire that had died down suddenly blazed, burning through his ki as it erupted from his body. It was just as he thought; Raph didn't need his past memories to know what would happen if their attacks were to collide. The Family techniques were powerful enough to cause changes to the weather and even destroy mountains...how would the aftermath be? Terrible, to say the least. The air was still congested with dust, and a literal vortex of blue and red was sending tremendous vibrations through the air above their heads. This was a literal example. "This...This son of a bitch..." His ki had run out at one point, but his anger was relentless, finding something else to burn through, and it did. The fire erupted even greater than before, burning through his clothes and his life force as well. "I won't stand for this, Raffaelo Jun." The ground melted under those flames, and the atmosphere around him began to burn. He was thinking about what to do next to turn this shitty show around, and he already knew what to do. He would use the 9th step.
