Chapter 275: Erased

Bunjiro's hands gripped the wrist of Yoichi's right hand, whose fingers were clasped around his throat. The first layers of his skin had already been consumed by the heat energy of Therion's flame, and Yoichi was demonstrating incredible self-control.

Indeed, he had managed to dose the amount of energy released from his chest, which, if it had been too much, would have ignited Bunjiro's body instantly. The Heralds' warrior continued to suffer, unable to scream and struggling in panic.

Even Takuma, accustomed to the wild life of the Valley of the Northern Waters, had to look away, disgusted by the scene before his eyes. 

Yoichi did not utter another word after his verdict and let his hand squeeze his enemy's neck further. The flesh of Bunjiro's neck first turned purplish, then blackish.
