This thrust had indeed struck Natsume.
Natsume's body gradually crumbled beneath the special annihilating effect of the [Pseudo-Heavenly Marsh Spear].
Seeing this, Meishiki secretly rejoiced.
But the next moment, he suddenly realized—
after Natsume's figure scattered, it revealed a meteorite of moderate size!

He almost regarded him as more of a threat than the true body of that [Dog Jashin]!
Meanwhile, Natsume chose to temporarily avoid his edge.
While controlling hundreds of
