wave of debris

Perhaps it was the result of slicing the dimensions located at the wreckage created from
dimensions being sliced, but the sword sunk into the shield like a fork stabbed into a
giant potato. Carissa then swung Curtana Original horizontally.
The giant disk-shaped shield with a radius of twenty meters moved with the sword.
“Oh, shit...!”
Kamijou instinctively held his hands up to protect his face, but it was a meaningless
action.
Carissa was almost forcing Curtana Original along because the disk-shaped shield was
half buried in the ground. The ground crumbled all at once like it was being dug up with
a giant piece of machinery. The black soil, the concrete, the asphalt, the trees, the
underground water pipes, and the underground gas pipes all became a single mass. It all
moved in Kamijou’s direction like a landslide or like a tsunami.
He could not evade it.
Kamijou Touma’s body was simply blown away by the overwhelmingly giant mass.
He was easily knocked back ten meters by the front edge of the great amount of earth
and sand. Then the earth and sand bit at Kamijou’s lower half like the jaws of a living
being. He yelled out at the tremendous pressure and saw out of the corner of his eye that
Curtana Original had been pulled from the disk-shaped shield. The giant construction
flew through the air, struck Buckingham Palace, and further damaged the already
crumbling building.
“Ghaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!”
Kamijou’s legs had been buried up to the thighs and he forcibly pulled them out. There
was a terrible hot feeling in his right thigh. He looked down and saw a broken piece of a
tree branch about as thick as a ball-point pen sticking into it.
Villian ran over to him yelling something, but the pain made him dizzy, so he couldn’t
tell what she was saying. Villian nervously hesitated not sure how to treat him.
Kamijou bit down on his sleeve to make sure he didn’t bite his tongue.
Then he grabbed the branch stuck in his leg, checked how it felt with his trembling
fingers, and then pulled it out all at once.

He did not utter an audible scream.
A significant amount of blood flowed out and Kamijou gritted his teeth so hard he
thought they would break.
