Sandstorm Corruption gritted her teeth. 'By the Emperor, what is going on?! Eyes died, and worst of all, she died because she made a rookie mistake! This guy is a Formation Array Master! He doesn't even feel that powerful!'
Sandstorm Corruption didn't realize what the other two had experienced under Kyle's Complex Mind Law. After all, he had deliberately avoided targeting Sandstorm Corruption with it.
While Kyle seemed like an unstoppable God in Combusting Steam's eyes, Sandstorm Corruption only saw him as a very powerful Fulfilled Crusher or a weak Unique Crusher.
Sandstorm Corruption could tell that they could kill Kyle as long as Combusting Steam and she worked together.
Yet, Combusting Steam was running away like a coward!
As Kyle kept retreating, the arrows came closer, quickly followed by Sandstorm Corruption.
When the arrows were about to reach him, Kyle summoned another black hole, truly emptying his Center.
Since the arrows had traveled for such a great distance, the small black hole managed to overpower the arrows, changing their trajectory.
All of the arrows missed Kyle and shot into the distance.
Kyle's trajectory also changed a bit as Sandstorm Corruption reached him.
If Kyle went all out and used his Law of Hammer to move faster, he would be able to rival Sandstorm Corruption's speed. Sadly, this required Energy, and he didn't have any left.
Sandstorm Corruption reached Kyle and readied her one-handed mace.
While retreating, Kyle turned around and readied his hammer.
"Die!" Sandstorm Corruption transmitted to Kyle as she swung forward.
Kyle's muscles bulged as he swung his hammer as well.
The two weapons met.
BOOOOM!
The mace slammed the hammer to the side, and Kyle's entire body shook. The vibrations of the impact shot through him, breaking bones and tearing muscles.
The mace continued and slammed into Kyle's abdomen.
CRKSH!
Kyle's lower body turned into a cloud of gore, revealing the bottom of his Center. If the attack had just been a bit stronger, he would have died.
A Level Five Infused Body Complex Law granted the user an insane boost in physical power. If Kyle hadn't once been a Legendary Primal or if his Complex Body Law were just a bit weaker, he wouldn't have survived.
Kyle's remaining body was flung into the distance by the impact.
Sandstorm Corruption's body vibrated a bit, but she didn't receive any injuries.
Kyle's body recovered in an instant, but the force of the impact still made it difficult for him to recover.
Sandstorm Corruption chased after Kyle, quickly catching up to him.
Another strike, and her opponent would die.
She readied her mace.
BANG!
Suddenly, a metallic wall appeared in front of her. Reflexively, she destroyed the wall, which collapsed without any issues.
A moment later, she realized what had happened.
The Elemental Barrier Formation Array!
She had flung Azure Comet into the domain of his Formation Arrays.
Sandstorm Corruption gritted her teeth as she charged after Kyle.
The next moment, space warped around her, and she noticed the distance between her and her target widening.
Yet, she just kept charging forward.
The next moment, several azure spears appeared in front of her, which immediately shot forward.
Sandstorm Corruption snorted, pulling her shield up.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The spears hit the shield and exploded into azure flames and lasers, but they couldn't even scratch it.
This Formation Array might have worked on someone like Ray of Judgment, but it was useless against Sandstorm Corruption, who had a powerful Infused Body Law.
Kyle's body sped up as he flew towards the surface of his Planet.
Sandstorm Corruption chased him, breaking through one offensive Formation Array after the other. While the Formation Arrays couldn't injure her, they could slow her down.
Yet, despite the Formation Arrays trying to stop her, she still slowly closed the gap between her and her target.
As she broke through another Formation Array, she saw something flying past her.
She recognized the item.
An Artificial Gravity Core.
As the Artificial Gravity Core moved past her, it suddenly activated.
Sandstorm Corruption felt herself being pulled backward, slowing her down.
'This is only temporary!' she thought with a snort. 'This might slow me down for a bit, but it doesn't change the outcome. Eventually, you will run out of stalling tactics!'
Then, the space between them expanded again, and for the first time, the distance widened.
However, Sandstorm Corruption just kept charging forward. Warping space and gravity cost Energy, and at some point, Azure Comet would run out.
Kyle gritted his teeth as he made a difficult decision.
BANG!
Several Formation Arrays exploded, but during the explosion, they manipulated the surroundings one last time.
Space expanded violently for a single moment. An extremely powerful metallic wall appeared between Kyle and Sandstorm Corruption.
Kyle was out of money. All his Energy Stones were gone, and the only way to get more time was to detonate his Formation Arrays to gain a short burst of Energy.
Sandstorm Corruption broke through the powerful wall and kept charging forward.
Her Energy Storage was still at 100%. She was still in her peak condition.
BANG!
Kyle landed on the surface of his Planet, creating a gigantic crater.
His knees buckled due to the significant gravitational influence of the Planet and the speed at which he had been traveling.
An instant later, Kyle's stance stabilized, and he looked up at the approaching enemy.
Kyle had recovered enough Energy to use his Law of Hammer during the chase.
Sandstorm Corruption's eyes narrowed when she saw her opponent stop. "Finally stopping?" she transmitted as she readied her mace.
"You should've listened to your friends," Kyle transmitted as he activated his Complex Mind Law and Momentum.
Sandstorm Corruption's eyes widened as she saw Kyle transforming in front of her. The Energy around him listened to his every command, and the feeling of threat he exuded shot through the roof.
How did he suddenly become so powerful?!
Then, she saw Kyle readying his hammer.
The strike exuded mortal danger.
Sandstorm Corruption knew this feeling very well. Their team hunted powerful beasts regularly. These beasts had even stronger bodies than hers, which meant that Sandstorm Corruption couldn't block all of their attacks. Sometimes, even she had to evade.
Kyle's strike felt just like that.
Sandstorm Corruption interrupted her attack and readied her shield as she slowed down.
Sadly, it was already too late. The powerful gravity of the Azure Comet and her prior speed made stopping impossible. She could only slow down.
Kyle gritted his teeth, and his muscles bulged as he readied his swing.
Sandstorm Corruption was fully focused on Kyle's hammer, preparing for the impact.
BANG!
Suddenly, Sandstorm Corruption felt a terrifying force hitting her back. Since all of her focus had been on Kyle's hammer, she hadn't noticed the illusory hammer appearing behind her.
The illusory hammer hit her back, breaking her skin, tearing her muscles, and breaking parts of her spine.
Any other Unique Crusher would have been killed, but the power of Sandstorm Corruption's physical body was tyrannical.
While the illusory hammer injured her, it hadn't even had a chance to kill her.
However, the strike completely destroyed her stance. All the power behind her shield vanished, and her body was flung towards Kyle's hammer.
Since Kyle had just used his Law of Hammer to conjure an illusory hammer, he didn't have enough Energy to use it on his physical hammer as well.
Nevertheless, Kyle's hammer struck forward, pick first.
Due to the opponent's unstable stance, the pick broke past the shield, moving it to the side.
Then, the pick hit the spot where Sandstorm Corruption's Center was.
CRKSH!
The pick rammed into her chest, breaking through skin and muscle.
CRK!
Then, it cracked her sternum.
At that point, the pick lost all of its power.
Just five millimeters were between it and Sandstorm Corruption's Center.
Kyle's hammer had insane power, but without his Law of Hammer, he wouldn't be able to kill his opponent in one strike.
Sandstorm Corruption realized that she had survived and read-
BANG!
Her eyes widened in shock and horror.
'W-what?' she thought.
Just now, an incredible force of gravity had appeared on the tip of the pick, and then…
Her Center had been pulled towards the pick.
It was like an apple falling onto a spear.
Naturally, this had been the doing of Kyle's new Law of Black Hole.
While he hadn't had enough Energy to use his Law of Hammer again, he did have enough Energy to use his Law of Black Hole.
Sandstorm Corruption's Center broke into pieces, and she lost all the power in her body.
The world around her turned blurry before turning black.
