Chapter 102

A Line Crossed (越えられた一線, Koerareta Issen) is the 102nd chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
As the battle rages on, Fushi commands the battle from inside the replica of Booze Man's shop. He kept track of the Immortal Army's movements and quickly summoned new bodies for them whenever they died. Fushi sent Kai to the bases of the Nokker-trebuchets or where fires had spread. Hairo was sent to places generating a lot of pain and Messar was sent to parts of the city overrun by Nokkers.

Cannonballs full of Nokkers kept raining from the sky into the city. Although Fushi tried to capture them before they could be unleashed, he sometimes missed some. An escaped Nokker is about to break through a woman's window but Fushi, from Booze Man's shop, seals hers and all of the Reenlay section's windows shut, stopping the Nokker. Another Nokker is about to attack the couple who found March but Messar quickly jumps in to save them. A solider tells the couple to evacuate but the man explains he's looking for a girl (March).

The Beholder narrates that the role the Immortal Army threw themselves the most into were human shields. Whenever they died, they would quickly resurrect into a new body to the surprise of the troops. However, the troops were inspired by the Immortal Army's fearlessness so nobody said a thing.

Fushi also had other tasks to concentrate on. He had to strengthen the city's defences inside and outside of the city. The Nokker-filled cannonballs were coming from outside Fushi's sensory range. He could extend his roots to reach the Nokkers but his progress was slow since he had to focus on defending Renril too.

Suddenly, a Nokker-filled cannonball lands right in front of him. Fushi gets an idea and replicates it, then sends one flying out of Renril towards the Nokkers out of his reach. From Fushi's cannonball the Immortal Army emerge. The three quickly understand what to do and destroy the Nokker-trebuchet launching the cannonballs.

Fushi emerges from his cannonball and asks if the three are alright. He tells them he came because he was worried since he can't sense their presence outside his sensory range. Kai suggests they head back to Renril soon in case of more attacks and Messar points out it'll take them a day to walk all the way back to Renril. Fushi realizes he can't send them back since they haven't died yet and suggests sending them horses so they can ride back. He is quickly cut off when suddenly Hairo takes Messar's gun and shoots himself. Kai phrases Hairo's decision and starts preparing the gun to use on himself next. Messar excitedly yells at Kai to shoot him first or shoot them both in one shot.

Speechlessly, Fushi stands over the three's dead and bloody bodies. He turns to look back at Renril then teleports back inside the cannonball.
