Dura 1 Volume 3

Before the eyes of the screaming Arisuin―

He cut the silver-haired girl at the waist, splitting her in two.

"Ah―"
With a thump, the upper body cut at the waist fell to the frozen floor. Spraying an immense quantity of blood and entrails. At that hopeless sight,
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Arisuin's cry shook the air.

At this time, the weight of Shizuku in his arms was disappearing steadily. Because he knew he wouldn't recover it again, he didn't have any feelings about the defeat.
Steadily, steadily, the petite body was getting lighter.
Steadily, steadily, the weight he could feel in his arms was disappearing–
Eh…!?
There, Arisuin finally noticed something unfathomable.
The weight was disappearing to the point where he couldn't feel it? That was impossible. Even if all the blood and viscera fell out, the muscles and bones in the human body would still remain. That sense of displacement shined a light into the darkness of Arisuin's view. He looked down on what was in his hands. There, the remains of Shizuku's body was–

–gone. Leaving only her clothes.

And the next moment–
"It's okay, Alice."
Shizuku's voice echoed with dignity through the underground training arena.
"...Eh!?"
"Wh-What!?"
In astonishment, Arisuin and Wallenstein scanned for Shizuku in the surroundings. However, Shizuku wasn't found anywhere. No, on the contrary, even the blood and entrails that had been scattered just a while ago had also vanished.
"Wh-What is this!? What did you do!?"
At the situation that was moving too far beyond comprehension, Wallenstein cried out in confusion. And amidst the confusion of Wallenstein and Arisuin–Shizuku Kurogane appeared.
