"Do~ne~"
I stretched my arms above my head. The tips of my fingers coiled together. Below me the corpse of the beast lay dead. Countless holes strewn across its countless limbs.
Of course it had some damn trump card. Splitting the strings it used to control its limbs into coils of artificial limbs.
It struggled. But in the end it died. Like it was destined to. Damned thing was a tricky bastard. But… mhm~ Now that it's dead. There's not much that'll harm him. Right?
Wait!
"Inari!"
I called out. He's not nearby. My heart pounded against my chest. Breath hitched as I searched the sea of concrete.
One of them- "That wasn't collapsed earlier…" I shot from the pile of corpses and made my way towards the building. My hand beat against the concrete and dug down.
"Inari!" I shouted.
"Over here…"
It's muffled. Barely audible. But I can hear him.
I drilled further.
