The second Grand Commander, like the previous one, practiced the Earth Breath Breathing Technique.
It was the Earth Church's top-tier Breathing Technique.
It was said that the earth embraced all things, so the effects of cultivating Earth Breath varied according to each person's choices.
Some could temper themselves into metal, some could wield gravity, and some could roam through the earth.
But the one before him was the purest manifestation of earth power.
His body was like rock, indestructible.
Although Kru's current stats made destroying ordinary rock effortless, when facing this man's rocky body, it was as though his stats had vanished.
He had become an ordinary person facing a massive boulder taller than himself.
That rock was immensely oppressive.
At the same time, Kru discovered that any curse he used would basically be deflected as soon as it approached. There was no way for it to penetrate that rocky skin. This was exactly the kind of opponent Kru found hardest to deal with.
No flashy abilities, just raw stats and skill backed by formidable immunity. An opponent like this could only be defeated by overwhelming force.
Otherwise, any fancy ability would be torn apart before him like a paper tiger.
Kru's combat style, however, was a system built around curses and spells, using the small to overcome the great.
With this fighting style, he could defeat opponents several times, or even more than ten times, stronger than himself despite having far lower stats.
But against an opponent like this, he was at his most uncomfortable. Their compatibility was simply terrible.
"Unless I can shatter his stone shell and find the core of his power, I can only defeat him that way."
"But if I can break his shell, then I wouldn't be so thoroughly countered in the first place."
