A voice that was as cold as minus 273 degrees erupted from the boy's lips. At the same time, the boy's fingers also gently touched Kouta's struggling body.

"..."

The next second, the body that was originally bloated due to obesity suddenly expanded like a fully inflated balloon, and then——

"Bang"

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

From inside Kota's body, energy suddenly burst out for some unknown reason, exploding his body as if it were a firework. Flesh, flesh, bones, and internal organs all turned into the composition of this firework in an instant, and more firework appeared in the sky.

It was like a rain of flesh and blood suddenly fell, and even those of us dozens of meters away were not spared.

But... when the rain of flesh and blood stopped, the young man standing in the center of the rain of blood did not have even a single stain on his body.

With the boy's body as the center of the circle, the flesh and blood spread out in a radiating pattern around it, explaining such a terrible fact before my eyes——

All the flesh and blood...did they avoid this guy's body out of fear?

It was fake from the beginning, right?

Magic doesn't work, bullets don't work, and now, even wanting to use your own body to leave any traces on this guy after death... has become a luxury.

What kind of enemy is this?

As a dead body, a super-powerful "railgun" once exploded in front of my eyes. Although it once gave me the thought of being "invincible", the fear that came with it was never the same.

So strong now

You can kill someone with just a touch of your fingers, but the means of counterattack are completely useless, and even touching the opponent's body has become a luxury...

"interesting……"

My hands were put back into the pockets of my trousers, and the boy's red eyes had once again fallen on me, who was in despair.

On the face that was as pale as the hair, the lips that had lost all color were split in an exaggerated manner, revealing a terrifying smile that made my heart palpitate.

"Hey……"

When I saw this smile, I once again turned around, took steps, and ran away without hesitation.

"This guy...is treating this kind of battle...as a game, right?"

The kind of joy that seems to come from seeing the prey, the teasing that occurs when playing with the prey, and... the pleasure when seeing the expression of the prey showing its dying struggle...

The enemy this time...has been a hunter from the beginning.

There is absolutely no way to deal with it, and even resistance is in vain. Therefore, all methods of dealing with it are useless. Now, there is only one thing I can do.

run

As long as he escapes from this school district, according to his previous understanding of the dead body, there will never be a cross-district pursuit.

And now, although there is no means of transportation, if the other party is toying with them and tries their best to escape, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

"Huh...huh...that...that guy...is...what..."

Panting from fear and strenuous exercise, Otonashi asked the question I wanted to know from the beginning.

"That...that kind of power...can turn a person into pieces with just one touch...it's completely...not a human being, right?"

Even Aksu's habit of frowning was covered up by fear, and even when he asked questions in a fearful voice, his expression was still blank.

"Touma...are all the people in you Academy City...all monsters...?"

Kagasami, who held Nakameguro in his arms like a princess, breathlessly asked his companion.

"Mafuyu's magic robe... ugh..."

"Before you think about your magic robe, it's best to at least think about Cheng's hair."

Kyoshi unceremoniously accused the depressed Mafuyu... Having said that, I still really want to find a mirror to see my current appearance.

"crow."

Although his face was pale due to his injury, Kanade came to this conclusion after staring at me carefully for a long time.

...Although I really want to cry, I'm afraid even crying is a luxury now, right?

Even though he was walking step by step in such a leisurely manner, the tremors of the earth became more and more intense.

In just a few tens of seconds, we had already approached a distance of less than thirty meters from us, and it looked like... this was just a sideshow before the game.

Really...can't escape?

Just when I had this desperate thought, another voice suddenly entered my ears very close to me.

"Misaka... Misaka..."
