Area Settlement: SSS-Rank! What Could Compare to a Settlement Panel for a Grandmaster-Level Five Thunder Technique?

Asahikawa City was cloudless from horizon to horizon.

The sunlight was clear and bright.

The only eyesore was the Guuji's Corpse, whose fragments stretched for who knew how many tens of thousands of miles across the sky, drifting down in a thin, steady stream alongside the equally shattered Heavenly Soul Lock.

They were harmless, but extremely distracting.

That was an unexpected delight. Back when he had started from scratch, even he had spent quite a while raising his Ki-ai Technique
