Funato Daika casually shook his arm.
"Surprised? What's impossible about it? You didn't think a move of that caliber could kill me, did you...?"
"That said, I didn't expect you to have two Kekkei Genkai. Earlier... I really shouldn't have underestimated you. You do have some skill. You're not just a pretty face..."
Mei Terumi's eyes were full of wariness. "What is this ability? Are you immortal?"

After laughing, Funato Daika's expression turned vicious. He flicked the shark-bone harpoon off the ground with his foot, leaped up at tremendous speed, and thrust it at Mei Terumi.

Not only that, his body even
