Olbart avoided the showy attack, but right after, Yorna struck the roof with her heel. Then, one-by-one, the roof tiles rose and began to float, revolving around in midair.
Drawing an extremely large spiral across the entirety of the roof, the circumference of the whirlpool narrowed towards Olbart at the center―― Just like a tornado. And then――
“Why don’t you show me some of your shinobi techniques on how to escape from a place without an opening?”
Before she finished speaking, Yorna’s outstretched hand squeezed tight.
Immediately after, the whirling tornado of tiles engulfed Olbart and compressed him into the center in one fell swoop. The tiles collided with each other relentlessly, and the sound of a fierce, all-crushing impact rang out.
Even a somewhat robust human body would not be able to withstand the pressure at the nexus of this fierce destruction. It would be crushed, with no chance of survival.
“Au…”
Witnessing the same thing, Rui too gasped at its exuberant destructive power.
In response to Rui’s reaction, Yorna quietly replied, “I’m sorry to have frightened you”,
“I started all this on a whim of mine. I feel terrible about the way you look…”
“Oioi, don’t’cha go thinkin’ we’re done here. I’m tellin’ ya, the fact that I’m still alive even tho’ I’m a geezer means it’ll take a lot ta kill me, ya know?”
“――Hk.”
Just as Yorna was about to turn around, she heard that comment and her fox ears perked up. Taking a look towards it, the voice she’d heard had come from a whirlpool of roof tiles that had gathered at their center, crushing it―― No, it had come from behind it.
Accompanied by a rattle, the voice that came from among the debris of the broken roof tiles was that of Olbart, unharmed despite the fact he’d been at the core of the vortex of devastation.
The monstrous old man waved his hand, smiling with a malicious look on his face,
“Yo. And that’s the shinobi’s technique of escapin’ when there’s no openin’. Ya satisfied?” —Volume 29, Chapter 7
