“…They really are out of their minds, those people…”

Ayato, waiting for the whirling dust to settle, deactivated the Ser Veresta, returning it to the holder at his waist.

In front of him lay a gaping pit, at least the size of a full city block. Nevilleworth’s ability must have torn a hole in the surface layer of the earth.

The ground in this part of the redevelopment area was undoubtedly more brittle than in other areas of the city due to its long neglect, but it still shouldn’t have been destroyed so easily. The power behind that ability must have been beyond comprehension.

On the other side of the abyss, Nevilleworth, along with the other members of Team Hellion, stood watching them. They were too far away to reach. Not even a Genestella would have been able to leap that distance.

Nevilleworth had probably intended to separate the two groups so they couldn’t attack each other—although, it was certainly an unorthodox approach.

Finally, the mercenaries turned and disappeared into the mass of abandoned buildings. Roverica alone paused to look over her shoulder, glaring in their direction, but she, too, soon left to catch up with her teammates.

“Phew… I hope we don’t end up having to face them,” he muttered as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

“Hey, everyone! Are you all right…?!” Tuulia called out from a distance behind him.

Several faint voices could be heard from somewhere in the distance.

Many of the buildings around them had collapsed due to the force of the impact, making the redevelopment area look bleaker still.

“Well, we had better get going, too… Huh? Saya?” But when he looked around, his childhood friend was nowhere to be seen.

Saya’s skills were good enough that she should have had no difficulty evading the attack.

But even so, Ayato, worried, entered the state of shiki to stretch out his senses—

When his mobile began to ring.

“…Ayato, are you okay?”

As he opened the air-window, Saya’s face appeared before him, although the picture was unexpectedly dark and distorted. “Ah, Saya. Thank goodness… What about you? No, wait, where are you?”

“I’m not sure… Probably somewhere underground.”

“Underground…?”

He approached the edge of the pit and peered in, but it didn’t look particularly deep, probably only around twenty yards or so.

When he and Kirin had fallen through Asterisk’s surface, they had made it all the way down to the ballast area, the lowest section of the city’s superstructure. This time, however, the collapse looked to have stopped at an underground passage—or else at the drainage channels.

The boulder created through Nevilleworth’s ability had already dissipated into raw mana, leaving not a trace of its existence.

However, there looked to be countless cracks in the rubble leading into underground passages, and the ground around them still hadn’t stabilized.

“So you’re trapped somewhere… This isn’t good.”

“…I don’t think I can blast away this much rubble with my Luxes.”

“Don’t even try; that could cause even more of it to come down.”

He had no idea where she was, but it would be better not to do anything that might end up worsening the situation.
