Reiji's eyes narrowed.
[Water Jet.]
A compressed beam of water burst from his fingertips.
SWOOOSH!
The high-pressure stream pierced straight through the creature's skull.
A fist-sized hole exploded through the back of its head.
The impact sent it flying several meters before its body slammed heavily against a stone pillar.
BOOM!
Fragments of rock scattered across the floor.
"...Got it." Aoi let out a sigh of relief.
Then the creature simply stood back up.
Aoi's mouth slowly fell open.
"It... stood back up?"
The hole remained in its skull. There was no blood. No flesh attempting to regenerate.
Its head simply had a massive opening through it. Yet... it continued walking toward them as though nothing had happened. It was as if the hole in its head was simply another Christmas decoration.
Scrrr...!
Scrrr...!
"...Seriously?" Reiji muttered.
The creature suddenly lunged again. This time, Reiji didn't underestimate it.
His body shifted to the side.
