Striking upward with the two Void Swords, it met the totem's bottom part directly. Using this as leverage, Kael spun his body, causing the totem and the chief in midair to change directory by a few inches, smashing just enough to not hit Kael directly. But of course, this wasn't without a price. Kael had to use a bit of energy and push his muscles to the limit. Even then, he knew that against a Grandmaster, without his draconic form, he had no real chance.

"Oh!" The chief uttered. As soon as the totem hit the ground, a large crashing sound exploded out. As if a meteor had hit. The ground split in all directions, sending spectators fleeing and screaming. Even the chief's daughter was nearly struck by debris in the aftermath.

"-This man has quite a lot of strength, but that's all. He only uses brute strength with no technique. I'm amazed to how he had even reached this level of power-" Avrin was fascinated by this.

"Boy, you have some skill!" The chief cried out in joy before he grabbed a side handle of the totem, almost like a tonfa. He took a step forward and his arms started to bulge. He clenched his teeth, then spun with great strength and speed.

Using the momentum and strength of himself and the totem, he had managed to form a whirlwind. Just as Kael was about to land from changing the course of the chief's attack, the whirlwind drew him in.

"Not good!" Kael helplessly spoke, unable to resist the pull. He didn't even have time to cast any abilities with dark matter. He was sucked into the whirlwind, and as soon as he drew close enough, the chief stopped and hit Kael with the piece of totem before pressing him into the ground with it, causing the ground to crash again, but not as dangerous as before.

"Ahh!!" Kael helplessly screamed out as he felt his bones cracking. He felt his joints loosen and his consciousness drift. The chief then lifted the totem up off Kael and softly scratched his chin.

"Hhmmm! You lasted longer than I thought! You look young too. It would be a shame to kill someone so talented at a young age. I won't kill you." The chief spoke, having a bit of respect for Kael, who was on the verge of collapsing. He couldn't even groan out in pain.

"In exchange for letting you live, how about you marry my daughter and join my tribe!" These words shocked everyone, including Avrin, who was dumbfounded by this muscle-bound fool.

"FATHER!" A loud voice roared out from behind. The girl made her way up a loosened rock that had been thrown up by the previous attack. She glared at her father and Kael as she pointed. "What nonsense are you speaking!!"

"Hahahaha." The chief couldn't help but laugh at his daughter's reaction. "I am joking. You know I will only allow someone of our tribe." Turning to gaze at Kael, the large muscular man raised the totem up over him.

"Well, it's a shame that I have to end you, but you disrespected my tribe by defeating my daughter and injuring her. In your next life, pick your enemies wisely!" Kael glanced up weakly with a soft snicker. He knew what would come next.

Before the totem had even reached the halfway mark, a black blur appeared and raised his left leg as he elegantly kicked towards the side of the totem. The attack stunned the chief, but it also held enough force to blow him back to the side along with the totem and also cause the wind to stir.
