"...Great Gout Foot Therapy Technique!"
Along with Natsuki Subaru's shout, malice from the Alternate Dimension descended out of nowhere.
The dog-sized mabeast opposite him suddenly stiffened, then began shrieking uncontrollably. "Awooowowow!!!"
Its limbs twisted and swelled grotesquely. Countless sharp crystals rapidly formed within its flesh, lodging themselves in the gaps between its bones, compressing blood vessels and stimulating nerves.

Natsuki Subaru's entire style seemed to change.
He punched one of the large vicious dogs in the head, and that blow seemed to contain all the grievance, anger, and despair he
