Boom!
Nagai smashed through the wall with a single punch.
In a flash of electricity, he arrived at Eriko's side.
But Eriko was already slurring her words, her limbs paralyzed.
The toxin was rapidly invading her brain nerves.
"Eriko! I won't let you die!!"
Electricity exploded from Nagai's entire body as he mobilized all his Magnetic Force, trying to stop it from happening.
But it was too late.

On top of that, she had always been frail and sickly, with weak immunity.
After suffering such devastation, most of her bodily functions had died, while her brain had been sealed by Nagai's Magnetic Force.
She was alive, yet no different from a living corpse!
Gently lifting Eriko into
