"Ōnoki's going all out!"
Genma's pupils contracted sharply.
In the instant before Dust Release decomposed everything within that space, Genma used the Summoning Technique without the slightest hesitation.
Boom!
A deafening blast roared out. Within the enormous conical space carved out by the Dust Release barrier's pillar of light, everything was broken down into molecules, even atoms.
"Did that finish him?"
Ōnoki panted, then turned to look down.
He was too far away. Without binoculars, he could only make out black dots on the ground.
He descended rapidly, and one figure after another came into view.

He was slower than this brat!
"What a troublesome bastard. Genjutsu, Lightning Release, space-time abilities... I have no
