Space tore open directly in front of Levi—the fourth time the demon had caught up.
This time, Levi's danger sense gave him barely any warning. His body was too slow, his reactions dulled by accumulated damage. He tried to activate Thunder Step, but his meridians were so damaged that the gathered Astra energy faded.
"Fuc—"
Eight massive arms reached through the spatial rift!
Four hands grabbed his limbs—one clamping around his left wrist, one seizing his right ankle, one clutching his left shoulder, one gripping his right thigh.
The other four hands struck at Levi like a sledgehammer!
"Bang!"
One palm slammed into Levi's chest, the impact so powerful it caved in his sternum and sent blood spraying from his mouth!
"CRACK!"
Another hand chopped down on his neck, nearly breaking his spine!
"SMASH!"
The third hand grabbed his hair, yanking his head back violently!
"CLAMP!"
The fourth hand seized his throat, cutting off his breathing!
