「Gaaaaaa!」

The synthetic oni leapt up while concentrating magic power into its fist.

And it swung its big fist down like a hammer.

No matter how high the attack power is, if it doesn’t hit, it doesn’t matter.

It seems that it doesn’t have the brains to learn this fact.

If it were a human or a lesser oni, it would be able to overwhelm them with its speed and power alone but that would not work on me.

-0-

I evaded the synthetic oni’s fist by its bosom and then jumped up and hit it in its jaw making it drop back.

The synthetic oni, which floated several meters in the air, was surrounded by barriers I put midair.

The synthetic oni struck the barrier from the inside but I won’t be scared off by that.

I activate heat magic inside the barrier and burn up the synthetic oni’s body.

「I’ll just keep on burning you until your magic power runs out.」

『Fool. The flame from a human’s magic power will just make it regenerate itself.』

The synthetic oni is repeatedly burned and regenerated but its body is gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

『Impossible…..there is no human that could use enough magic power to exhausted the magic power of a synthetic oni…..!』

A voice of impatience can be heard from the speaker.

Soon after, the synthetic oni was burned to ashes.

A circular hole in the ground, big enough for a person to pass through, opened and the chief rose up like in theaters.

His face was distorted with rage.

「You did that….to my masterpiece」

「You were the one who initiated it. Are you ready to let Futaba go?」

「I don’t remember making a promise like that.」

I don’t think Futaba would want to stay in the “organization” after seeing everything that has happened today.

However, it is also troublesome to keep being followed by the “organization”.

I’d like to get them to give up but at this rate, it’s not going to happen.

He should understand that continuing this farce will only cause more damage to him. Does he really see that much value in Futaba?

It should be something heavy.

「I no longer consider you human! You monster!」

「You talk as if you ever treated me as a human.」

「Shut up kid! I’ll deal with you myself!」

The chief’s forehead knitted as he said that and opened his eyes wide.

「No way……you actually synthesized variant on yourself?」

Looks like he likes doing high risk things.

「A chief cannot be weaker than his subordinates, can he? If there are subordinates who rebel, it is only logical to be stronger than them.」

「A typical bad boss. You should be sued for pawahara(power harassment).」

「Pawa……? I don’t understand the language used by young people. It is lamentable that your language is so disorganized.」

「You’ll figure it out. If you live to see it.」

「You are treating me as a fool….but your insults will end here.」

「You still have a lot of gall to say that after seeing me fight.」

「I don’t care if you’re strong or not. Because I am “not here”.」

The moment the chief said that, his figure faded from my sight.

Speed? Optical camouflage?

No, it’s not something so simple.

It’s not teleportation either.

「Oniichan!」

The moment I heard Futaba’s scream, I was stabbed on my side.
