deflects a strong attack with his arm stump

That monster made of hair viewed its target.
It had mercilessly destroyed dozens and maybe hundreds of tons of stone when appearing
inside the castle. An attack from that would be more powerful than a head-on collision
with a large dump truck. The swimsuit girl would be immediately torn to pieces.

There was a sound like human flesh being shaved away by a file.
His arm no longer had Imagine Breaker. In fact, it had no fist and the gruesome wound
past the elbow had only been cauterized to stop the bleeding.
The pain had to be far greater than what Shokuhou Misaki felt after using her power to
block it.
He was receiving another fierce attack on top of a wound that had to be hard enough to
accept already. He used his own arm as a cushion to slightly divert the Aethyr Avatar’s
path. This did not qualify as dodging or defending. It was not a proper give-and-take
arrangement. But that was obvious when he was faced with the meaningless choice of
deciding which was the best body part to let the dump truck hit.
He could easily have died from shock due to the pain signals alone.
And.
And yet.
“Are you…hurt?”
Those were the first words out of the boy’s mouth.
“Everything’s okay now… I’ll push back…this damn thing!!”
