The recoil from the overly rough movements made her feet feel numb.
But all of this pales in comparison to the pain in his left eye and the crisis behind him.
She is now somewhat relieved that she did not choose to stay in the hospital room.
Otherwise, if this thing turns into a monster, then I will truly be completely helpless.
Her heart was racing, her adrenaline was surging, and it was injecting powerful energy into her body.
Hiyori Iki never imagined that her body could do this much.
Even the bloggers in the parkour videos she used to watch couldn't reach her current level.
But if she could, she would rather not know about it.
Because a sharp gust of wind came from behind.
That thing is catching up!
"Living people! Flesh and blood!"
Voices filled with greed echoed in the narrow stairwell.
With her hands gripping the stair railing, Hiyori leaped with her long, powerful legs, flipping her slender body over and landing on the lower staircase.
Splinters flew overhead.
Broken iron bars and wood chips fell like snowflakes.
It fell onto the stairs, making a clanging sound.
It was extremely jarring in the deathly silence of the space.
I subconsciously looked up and saw the hideous maw just closing.
A huge gap appeared in the handrail.
The edges are covered with sharp teeth.
Without a doubt, it was that damned thing that just bit it out.
Even steel meets this fate, if only I hadn't just jumped down...
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Hiyori Iki's forehead.
Forcing herself to endure the pain in her left eye, she continued running downstairs.
As long as I can get to the first floor, as long as I can reach that place...
call out!
The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.
An instinctive sense of alertness made her stop in her tracks.
A scarlet arrow grazed past her and pierced the wall without any resistance.
Tiny pebbles flew everywhere.
The airflow it carried stirred the strands of hair.
Black saliva dripped from it, and a foul odor assaulted her nostrils.
It was a long, thin tongue.
Immediately afterward, before she could react, her body began to move on its own.
With a powerful leap, he retreated several steps.
A massive black shadow descended from the sky.
It landed directly in her previous spot.
The whole building seemed to shake three times.
The green light from the emergency exit shone on the dark figure, adding to the sense of danger.
Hiyori Iki now wishes she were Shinji Ikari who woke up in the hospital.
At least this way, we still have Unit-01 to operate, so we can face the monsters in front of us directly.
It was a huge frog.
Its size alone takes up half of the staircase, and its back almost touches the ceiling.
It had strange colorful patterns on its body, and a pair of vertical eyes stared straight at her.
Hiyori Iki sensed a hint of covetousness in his eyes.
It seems... we've reached a dead end.
The stairs leading down were blocked by the other party.
Trying to escape upwards would also lead to a dead end.
Because the inpatient ward has a full twenty-one floors, she doesn't have the ability to jump off the rooftop.
At best, it can only delay the arrival of death.
A snow-white figure flashed through my mind.
I could almost smell that unforgettable fragrance again.
So, is praying to that unknown deity all we can do again?
Watching helplessly as the other opened its mouth wide, its scarlet tongue shooting out with a whooshing sound, Iki Hiyori placed her hands on her chest and offered her prayer to the gods.
Deity, please save me!
The girl's heart was filled with anticipation.
But the result was—
Nothing happened.
The gods did not appear.
No miracle occurred.
Apart from her and the terrifying frog monster, no third figure appeared in the stairwell.
Like a sharp arrow, the frog's tongue grazed her cheek, pierced straight into the steps behind her, and then instantly curled back.
Only a fist-sized hole remained, allowing light to pass through from both the front and back.
A hint of human-like doubt flashed in the frog's vertical pupils.
Hiyori Iki's face froze.
It seems that this monster was predicting her escape route in advance.
Is their intelligence also quite high?
Take a deep breath.
He casually picked up an arm-length piece of iron from the ground, gripped it tightly in both hands, and faced the monster directly in front of him.
The broken edge is extremely sharp, making it perfectly usable as an iron sword.
Since the gods have not responded, we can only face it ourselves.
The girl's heart was filled with determination.
My body is tense.
The burning sensation in my eyes seems to have disappeared from the beginning.
So she opened her left eye, which had been tightly closed.
Her originally cherry-pink pupils turned into a magnificent blue.
Profound and mysterious.
The world in our view has changed.
It became dilapidated.
One crooked black line after another spread throughout the space.
Whether it's the stairs, the walls, or even the frog monster in front of you, everything is covered in black lines.
This is?
The sudden change left the girl somewhat bewildered.
At the same time, more whispers assaulted her mind.
My consciousness became hazy and I started to feel mentally exhausted, as if I might fall asleep at any moment.
The sound of something cutting through the air came again.
This time, there was no anticipation; they aimed directly at her heart.
The frog monster seemed to realize that she was not in good condition.
Forcibly suppressing the feeling of nausea, Hiyori Iki raised the sharp metal plate with both hands and subconsciously aimed it at a black line on her tongue, then stabbed it down.
A soft chuckle, like a neighbor's tearful sigh as he peeled back two scars.
A slight sound of something entering flesh.
I couldn't feel anything real in my hands.
The severed tongue fell directly to the ground, quickly turning into black ash and dissipating.
Her beautiful blue eyes were fixed on the frog monster.
The other party's massive body trembled slightly, as if in fear.
However, Hiyori Iki did not notice.
She felt an horribly burning sensation on her forehead, and her vision began to darken.
Driven by the instinct for survival, the body leaped high off the steps and landed on the frog's back.
There, there was a thick black line, from which a faint blue light emanated.
With the help of gravity.
The metal sheet sank directly into it, moving along the black line.
There were no obstacles.
It's like cutting through the air.
Everything fell into place so naturally.
The frog monster was cut in half.
The eyeball fell alone to the ground.
Then, along with its enormous body, it turned into ashes.
"Huh...huh..."
Hiyori Iki covered her forehead, closed her left eye again, and gasped for breath.
The world has finally returned to normal.
The aches and fatigue deep within her body made her want to lie down on the ground and fall asleep immediately.
But no, the current situation is not safe.
Without even a brief rest, she trudged downstairs, her left hand on the handrail and her right hand carrying a piece of iron.
Just then, a dazzling flash of light suddenly erupted outside the window.
Hiyori Iki subconsciously turned her head to look outside.
Then she saw it on the forum...
A bright sun hangs high above the night sky!
