Perhaps he had never imagined that he would lose in terms of strength. Rin's performance completely subverted Tohno Shinkyu's understanding of a Magus, leaving him momentarily stunned.
However, Tohno Shinkyu froze, but Rin would not.
Rin stomped her feet, rooted to the ground, and pulled down with her left hand, which was gripping the blade! Tohno Shinkyu, unwilling to let go, immediately stumbled towards Rin.
As the distance between them closed, a fist wrapped in deep, azure Mana Burst shot straight for Tohno Shinkyu's face. And Tohno Shinkyu, in his Demon state, not only had superhuman strength and speed, but also inhuman agility.
Tohno Shinkyu, with lightning-fast reflexes, tilted his head, narrowly dodging Rin's straight punch, the blow grazing his cheek. Yet, Rin's profound martial arts mastery was displayed at this moment! As the straight punch just brushed Tohno Shinkyu's cheek, the striking fist instantly stopped! Its force shifted, transforming into a hook punch!
"Boom!"
The highly compressed Mana Burst exploded instantly! The full force of the thunderous blow was borne by Tohno Shinkyu's left cheek! His face severely deformed, his left cheek almost overlapping with his right, Tohno Shinkyu was sent flying directly through the wall hole Rin had just entered, into the Tohno Family mansion.
Rin's movements followed immediately; she leaped, her Mana Burst creating a long trail of energy, like a giant dragon descending from the heavens. Tohno Shinkyu, relying on his powerful demonic physique, quickly dodged the plummeting attack. Rin's punch slammed into the Tohno Family's floor, causing the entire Tohno Family estate to tremble three times as if struck by a magnitude nine earthquake.
With one strike missing, Rin, half-kneeling on the ground, sharply leaned back, dodging Tohno Shinkyu's sweeping katana. The gleaming blade passed by her nose, and Rin's pretty face was clearly reflected on its surface. Leaning back, Rin then used her right hand to support herself, going into a one-handed handstand, her body spinning, and a Mana Burst-infused kick swept horizontally, hitting Tohno Shinkyu's left cheek once more!
"Whack!"
"Boom!"
His head struck hard again, Tohno Shinkyu inevitably fell into a daze. His grip loosened, and the famous blade in his hand flew aside. And when he recovered from his daze, Rin's face had already appeared before his eyes... "Boom."
A powerful front kick, braced against the corridor wall! Tohno Shinkyu was directly pushed, smashing through the wall behind him!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... As if returning the way she came, Rin, with her entire body's Mana Burst boiling, like a fierce dragon carrying its prey, dragged Tohno Shinkyu, breaking doors and destroying walls, all the way back to the Tohno Family's main hall. Tohno Shinkyu, already dazed by Rin's assault, had almost no power to resist.
"Boom!"
Another large hole was created in the inner wall of the Tohno Family mansion's main hall! However, this time it wasn't Rin who crashed through the wall, but Tohno Shinkyu.
"Hah, hah, hah..."
Tohno Shinkyu, having been relentlessly beaten by Rin, began to make unconscious reactions in his blurred state, like a wild beast, instinctively counterattacking Rin's assaults without needing reason. Finally, with an unknown burst of immense strength, he crashed through the marble wall and leaped into the Tohno Family mansion's main hall, panting heavily.
Rin, wreathed in blue flames, frowned slightly as she slowly and deliberately walked out from the ruins of the dilapidated inner corridor, looking at Tohno Shinkyu in the main hall. At this moment, Tohno Shinkyu's breathing grew heavier and heavier, the red glow in his eyes deepened, and his skin color became increasingly profound, turning dark red.
"Roar!"
Tohno Shinkyu suddenly let out a beast-like roar, and with claws that had somehow sharpened, he actively lunged at Rin.
The tables had turned.
Rin frowned, watching Tohno Shinkyu lunge, then a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She wasn't afraid of him when he was conscious, and a mad beast was even more pathetic; he gained a little brute strength but gave all his skill back to his master.
Rin took a solid step forward with her left foot, raising her Mana Burst-clad hands, and braced against Tohno Shinkyu's lunging claws. Tohno Shinkyu shrieked, his arms trembling as he forcefully pushed down, trying to overpower Rin. And indeed, Tohno Shinkyu's strength had greatly increased after his demonization, causing Rin to frown slightly.
Hmph, I said it before, losing your reason, no matter how much strength you have, it's just brute force, nothing impressive!
"Kneel!"
With power rising from her feet, Rin's entire body's strength twisted into a single burst, erupting instantly! The flame-like external Mana Burst, intensified by Mana Burst, instantly soared ten meters high like a volcanic eruption!
Rin's Mana Burst-formed fingers, like the giant talons of a divine eagle, gripped the gaps between Tohno Shinkyu's claws and pulled down forcefully! Tohno Shinkyu immediately lost his footing, his legs bent, and he stumbled forward. Rin instantly followed, pressing her center of gravity forward.
A colossal force, like a collapsing mountain, was applied from above to Tohno Shinkyu, who was unstable. Tohno Shinkyu's knees immediately slammed into the ground, shattering the marble floor and sinking a foot deep!
Strike while he's down. Rin gave Tohno Shinkyu no chance to recover. The moment Tohno Shinkyu knelt, Rin stepped to her left, standing beside him. Her right hand, wrapped in solidified Mana Burst, delivered a heavy punch like a blue meteor, leaving a trail of Mana Burst, landing squarely on Tohno Shinkyu's face!
The solid punch pressed Tohno Shinkyu's head directly backward, his back of the head hitting the ground and creating a pit in the floor! Floor fragments flew everywhere, and the entire Tohno Family mansion shook with this impact.
"Thud!"
Rin, half-kneeling, retracted her fist to gather strength. Her left hand, wreathed in Mana Burst flames, followed immediately with another heavy punch!
"Thud!"
Right fist.
"Thud!"
Left fist.
"Thud!"
Each punch was heavier than the last. The entire Tohno Family mansion swayed back and forth like a real earthquake under Rin's comet-like heavy punches. With each punch Rin delivered, Tohno Shinkyu's head sank further into the ground. Eventually, half of his upper body was embedded in the ground, until Rin's arm was no longer long enough for her fist to reach Tohno Shinkyu's face.
Because at this point, Tohno Shinkyu was half-embedded in the ground, his exposed body bent into an arch. Rin stood up, facing Tohno Shinkyu's lower body, which was raised 45 degrees from the ground. Rin walked between Tohno Shinkyu's unconsciously splayed legs, a wicked smile full of malice aimed at the spot three inches below his navel... "Let's see you harm young girls now!"
Rin's right foot was raised high above her head, then descended like a comet striking the earth! It landed squarely on Tohno Shinkyu's lower abdomen, the heaviest part of her heel landing precisely on... "Ah ah ah ah!!!..."
Words and paper cannot describe the horrific screams that echoed throughout the Tohno Mansion, and if Rin hadn't set up a barrier, they would have probably resounded throughout Misaki Town.
Under the immense force, and according to the principle of leverage, Tohno Shinkyu's upper body immediately burst through the ground, and Rin's kick made him sit up, while it seemed Rin's foot crushed something, leaving blood everywhere.
