Part 8
During that period of time, the spherical world was continuing to shrink while screeching and rumbling. And the world was getting smaller.
The earth that was pressed against each other gave off a sound that was similar to the wailing of the earth. Huge pieces that acted similar to continental plates as they were folded and eventually swallowed completely.[102]
Izayoi had recovered his composure but he was still unable to figure out the real intentions of [Baron Croix] and could only stare at him while giving a low roar.
"……Baron Croix, what's your aim?! If this continues, even you would be……"
"That's right! Sakamaki Izayoi! Once the world between life and death is closed, there is nowhere for us to escape! We will both be snuffed out in the cracks in the realm of oblivion! If you truly wish to be saved, you can only depend on your power to tear apart this world!"
[Baron Croix] spread his arms as he gave his dramatic speech to Izayoi.
Izayoi harshly clicked his tongue and raised his fist high. Gathering all the strength from the small tips of his fingers to the ends of the five fingers, he added the torque from the rotation of his hips to launch his attack with a punch.
The rubble of steel and cement that were buried below the rubble had formed a huge crater due to the heat and force that Izayoi's fist had wrecked. Although this crater seemed like a dried up lake, it was soon swallowed up by the shrinking earth that made it disappear without a trace.
"Your full strength shouldn't be like that only right?! Sakamaki Izayoi! You plan to join Canaria in the Gardens of Death?! That shouldn't be your wish! If you do not want to die, let me see the realm that has yet to be known!"
"Uu!"
Shrink!
Shrink!
The ground that seemed to be in a hurry to shrink gave out crunching sounds as the debris collided and it wasn't long after that the shrinking caused the height to be decreased, such that even the mountain of rubble from the top was almost touching the mountain of rubble from below.
In a blink of an eye, the sky had lost its height and seemed on the verge of coming down.
Although Izayoi had swung his fist for quite a few times, his level of destruction was still unable to break through this sealed world.
"Do you see it?! If you were to lose just like this, the kids will also be dead! Are you okay with that?"
"---Uu……You megane bastard!"
Izayoi bit his teeth with the strength that might have broken his molars, as he raised the speed of the swing of his punches for both arms.
Again and again he kept at it until his fists finally bled from the multiple fractures.
[Baron Croix] also seemed to have lost his patience at long last and he shouted loudly:
"You moron! With a punch that cannot even shatter the stars, how do you expect to break through [Guniee]?!"
"Then, what do you want me to do?! You megane bastard!"
"Just like what I just said! Use a punch that can shatter the stars! So long as you use your Gift, leaving this place shouldn't be a problem for you!"
Hearing the crazy request and the strange term, Izayoi was taken aback.
"……Gift?"
"That's right! The strength that you currently wield is at most the top layer of its full potential!"
Hearing [Baron Croix]'s suggestion, Izayoi stared at his own two hands.
"You say that my strength is only at a top layer?"
"That's right! So long as you use the strength that lies dormant within your body, you will surely be able to rip through [Guniee]!"
Gaining an optimistic look from Izayoi's change in attitude, a slight smile played on the lips of [Baron Croix] as he spread his arms, seeming in the mood to taunt.
"……I've said it before. Let me see the real of the unknown for myself. And you should have already realized this. That you, Sakamaki Izayoi, are more mysterious than everything in the world put together. Well then, if you do not utilize that miracle that hides within the deepest parts of yourself in [Guniee]……you will lose that chance forever!"
"……"
Although Izayoi was already having cold sweat, his mood was pumped up once more.
---Other than the first cry that he had when he was brought into the world, he had never had the chance to use his full strength. For Izayoi, the current world was one that was a fragile and dreamlike shelter to him.
However, he was now told by the other party that he can let out his full strength without holding back, and even telling him to use a dormant power that even Izayoi himself did not know of.
[A dormant power that is in the body……]
Izayoi felt his feelings soar in his chest and unconsciously raised his right hand up high. And it was due to that natural movement of his body that he realized.
To draw out the power from himself, Sakamaki Izayoi, this was the best posture.
"Just like that……You still aren't able to utilize your own Gift huh? Then just desperately swing your fists for now."
[Baron Croix] spread his arms as the swallowtailed coat fluttered behind him with the wind while he continued to scrutinize Izayoi's actions.
"Take this……Baron Croix!"
At that moment, a beam of light appeared from Izayoi's hand that tore through the Heavens and the Earth. This beam of light easily pierced through the shell of the world that was still shrinking and seemed to be the pillar that was holding up the world that was moving towards imminent destruction.
Prying through the sealed world that was moving down the road to self-destruction, Izayoi got out from the World between Life and Death.
