But A. O. Francisca held the bent and misshapen crossbow.

He swung it down like a pickaxe and the tip of the aluminum frame dropped toward the center of Hamazura’s chest.

This full-strength attack used the great height difference between them.

The impact was powerful enough for the crossbow to break into pieces. The floor Hamazura was lying on had several cracks run through it before it collapsed and they both fell to the next floor down.

“Gh…?”

He was supposedly protected by the Processor Suit, but Hamazura’s lungs cried out in protest and he had trouble breathing.

Countless warning windows appeared and his vision grew gray and staticky.
