- In the end, the world was her crossbow.
- As soon as Kamijou Touma realized that, ten pieces of destruction rained down from the
- heavenly dome above.
- What exactly could this be compared to?
- Perhaps a super-long railgun that targeted someone on the planet's surface after eternal
- acceleration using straight guiderails stretching from one end of the universe to the other.
- Perhaps a singularity weapon that created destruction unexplainable with Newtonian
- physics by directly messing with the smallest particles dealing with mass and motion such
- as the bosons and the Higgs particle.
- In all likelihood, expressing it with words was meaningless.
- Even if one gathered everything that could be expressed with words, it was unlikely one
- could shoot down that crossbow.
- It merely hit.
- "...!!!???"
- Kamijou Touma leaped to the side with all his strength.
- ...The first shot fell vertically from the heavens.
- It held the destructive power needed to easily wipe out a planet or two, but it was beyond
- the point of creating anything like a crater. This was no different from a rifle bullet fired
- with the initial velocity of a sniper rifle piercing glass without breaking it. The arrow had
- been fired with such great speed that it pierced the pitch black ground without waiting for
- the impact to propagate.
- [...]
- Time stopped.
- He was too slow to react.
- By the time he heard a dull sound, the final arrow had already been absorbed into his
- chest and accurately targeted his heart.
- This was nothing as kind as piercing or breaking him.
- In the instant of impact, Kamijou Touma's body was smashed to pieces from the chest
- down. As his heart continued to writhe in midair, the tip of the arrow caught it and blasted
- it to the farthest reaches of that world.
