Tsuchi survives stabbing

As she spoke, the giant steel pillar shattered like an ice sculpture.
A storm of thousands, millions, billions of sharp fragments blanketed the width and
height of the entire hallway, hurtling straight toward Tsuchimikado Motoharu. He
thought this must be what it would be like to stand inside a giant cannon the moment it
fired.
The roar reached his ears a second later.
(Be in ti—!!)
Before he could finish his plea...
...An obliterating wave of steel rushed through the passage behind him.

The magician she’d been fighting had immediately dove behind a pillar, and he’d
apparently crouched down even farther to minimize the damage he took. But, of course,
it wasn’t enough to protect him. Tsuchimikado lay facedown now, four scraps of metal
protruding from his back. Each fragment was only a few centimeters long, but they were
sharp as knives. To top it off, several chunks of the fallen pillars rested on top of his
body. These were clumps of concrete as big as melons.
“I guess it’s over already.”

***

A single bird-shaped origami, covered in blood, had fallen from his hand.
(I think he was trying to construct a spell as a last resort there...Are you telling me it was
to destroy the barrier? But why? Why would he do something that futile and not defend
against my attack?)
It wasn’t like destroying the barrier would immediately cause Oriana to lose. It was just
a small piece of insurance.
Which meant he was aiming for...

“It looks like...my hand’s got its own spell that can break stuff.”
The voice startled Oriana. The enemy she thought she’d sent to the grave along with his
magic name wasn’t dead at all.
“You don’t look the type...I didn’t know you were into rougher stuff.”
