One step behind, the Sage came flying over. His enormous cloak accentuated just how small he was, adding an unbalanced appearance to his image. Floating in the air, he was glaring at the giant. And then, without warning, he snapped out his hand.

“Dannoura, can you step over here for a second?”

Grabbing Tomochika’s hand, Yogiri pulled her towards him. With a short cry, she jumped back just in time to see something strike the ground where they had been standing.

The earth had been completely buried in hail, covering an area about a meter wide. Each chunk of ice was only a few centimeters long, but there were so many of them, stretching out as far as Yogiri could see.

Unsurprisingly, such an attack had no effect on the giant, but the ordinary humans in its path weren’t so lucky. The passengers who had hesitated and failed to run were now scattered about in a tragic, gruesome display.

“But...why...? Why would you even do that?!” Tomochika shouted as she saw the carnage before them.

Hearing her, the Sage turned. “What? You were all lined up so nicely that I figured I’d take you out in one go...but some of you survived?”
