Kōya moved with a Speed Burst, his body blurring forward at incredible velocity as he passed a faded red street sign that said "STOP" except the letter P had completely peeled off from years of weather damage and neglect.
The moment he cleared that spot, the entire area was utterly destroyed.
The sign was blown off its rusted post and flattened completely by a massive piece of concrete rubble from a collapsing building that the Queen had crashed through in pursuit.
'Fuck,' Kōya thought desperately as he continued moving forward without slowing.
He executed a sharp curve to the right and burst into another connecting street, his legs burning from the strain but the horrific sounds of buildings being systematically demolished followed close behind him.
He was absolutely certain the monster was still right on his tail, closing the distance.
'The System explicitly advised me to run… but even then, how the hell am I actually supposed to run from something this fast?'
