"Ah—!!"
Momoshiki's scream was so piercing it seemed capable of sending shrill ripples through the vacuum.
His raised right hand still held a massive energy sphere in its palm.
The skin that had once been as flawless as white jade was now like wax melted by blazing fire.
Layers of skin and flesh peeled away!
