Arlo knew there was no way he could stand against her currently. Just from the other party releasing her innate trait, he was rendered completely powerless to the point that he couldn't move at all.

'How weak.'

He clenched his fists tightly as he felt desperate.

'Even if I lose, I mustn't lose like this.'

His will surged wildly as he gritted his teeth to the point that his gums bled.

He willed the surrounding Ki into his body to further boost his physical strength.

Feeling the surrounding gravity lessen greatly, he took advantage of the sudden opportunity and vanished from the point.

*Whoosh.*

'I must close in if I want to defeat her.'

However, before he could even close in, he felt a crushing pressure trying to squeeze him to death. Even the ground cracked in its wake.

'Shit!'

Realizing that he would suffer if he continued, he immediately stopped and retreated from the range of her domain.

He looked at the spot he was at a few moments ago, and he could see that it had caved inward greatly.

He couldn't help but furrow his brows as he clenched his fists tightly until they drew blood.

'How can I overcome this?'

'Think.'

After a short moment...

'Hmm. What if I try this?'

*Whoosh.*

Instead of running head-first into the domain, he ran around it. Seeing the ground entrance of the domain cave in with his movement, he could tell that the other party was strengthening the area where he could enter the domain.

'Let's move even faster.'

He stopped absorbing the surrounding Ki into his body and concentrated them at his feet.

*Whoosh.*

With that, he became far faster as he left dust in his wake. Seeing that the cracking of the ground entrance couldn't keep up with him, his eyes lit up.

'Good.'

He kept running until he left the cracks far behind.

Seeing this, he gritted his teeth.

'Even though I can avoid the pressure of her strengthening gravity at an area, the initial gravitational force multiplied by two still remains. Nevertheless, if I want to win, this is my only chance.

He flashed behind her.

Then he willed the surrounding Ki into his legs and arms. He bent down with both hands touching the ground as if to start a race, applied force into his legs until the ground below him cracked, and then took off like an arrow shot from a bow into the domain.

*Boom!*

All this took a moment and Tina didn't even have enough time to turn back.

Like a drill, he forced his way into the gravity domain, the gravitational force not hindering him at all.

He arrived at her back within three breaths, clenched his hand, and sent it towards her back.

But...

…..

[Tina's POV]

"What?"

He just disappeared, where did he go?

I couldn't keep up with his movement at all

A few moments later, I felt a presence break into the domain behind me, yet before I could even turn back, I immediately felt a presence at my back.

'Shit!'

I roared out in anger:

"I SAID NOT THIS TIME!"

Since I knew I couldn't react in time, I instantly increased the force of gravity in the domain by three times.

*Boooom!*

Turning back, I saw his body planted face flat on the ground.

'Huh, I won?'

However, before I could wallow in my victory...

Drip. Drip.

I saw tears streaming down his face.

"What?"
