『哇嘎—————！』178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMEfYkeXp
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoubJgfUAG
發出怪異鳴叫聲的東西，以外型來說並不陌生，是島上冒險者皆耳熟能詳的怪物......三眼章魚。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP3ktQNLTD
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB2muqxvFk
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKYMF7t6EE
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoq192tDpY
首先值得注意的，便是牠異常龐大的身軀——幾乎足以比拼弓箭手村地帶的石巨人。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Aat4EvKiA
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFJlyjBeC
而配合放大的身體也同樣伸長無比的觸手，假如讓這些觸手完全打直、支起身體，甚至能夠吞沒一座高樓吧。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqGajxLt0o
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRsI8Adpts
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0qH31av38
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96XCbj4tDc
明明任何人都知道，這種怪物極限的大小絕不會超過成人，哪怕是當中的菁英怪，也不可能有這麼誇張的身體。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpLl3X8dcF
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjnqaB0Z2W
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iKj19S9lq
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMJnvDitn
並且，牠還有一些相對無法第一眼就被觀測到，但同樣彰顯出異常與危險的地方；比如觸角上，吸盤所在的位置帶有刀片一般的銳利。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVSktk4mxt
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1H7syXjRn
而這些銳利的鋒面，現在也成了掠奪少女生命力的最大殺手。——少女感覺到死亡的迫近。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif6os9koFG
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbvNsqPIOO
明明瞬間治療傷勢是很容易的事，但安提娜現在根本踩不到地面，動彈不得。而且愈是掙扎想要擺脫控制，反倒讓自己更接近死亡......。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytXzPHkouI
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wz1LkCSmy
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgeXusJA4
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiurc4TZvSE
在這竭盡所能的瞬間，她回想這陣子以來的點滴，以及今天會面臨到這種狀況的原因。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64DRE9t4WN

時間倒回稍早。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a5jGcdxHZ
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJDB5QiSXP
當赫莉娜教官決定用上精靈族的神器銀懈之槍後，也代表著必須再回到弓箭手村一趟。好在赫麗娜手上還有回村卷軸，可以省去徒步的時間與精力。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1LSsO1dPr
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiCuFXiSG0
然而⋯⋯勇士之村的情況還不能放任不管，尤其他們又聽聞靠近山腰的地方已經產生破口，場面非常混亂。但以安提娜等人的技術，對付一大群變異肥肥還是太危險。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNweCVVK6RJ
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuXpGLTjeY
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWSDNRNhkt
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY6cT9LTZk
並且在取得銀懈之槍後，先前往災情相對可以控制的墮落城市。那裡有著兩大盜賊團，而且其中一個組織的領導者，還是島上的冒險者大師之一，達克魯。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo38YiVpGVx
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ADxJwgI9
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBHjmRaQQR
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm8VOM1OGr
幾人雖然順利拿到了神器，卻在墮落城市的外圍遇上可怕的東西——即是眼前這隻即將奪走安提娜生命的巨大三眼章魚。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvkt6SbsHV
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShEKKg4dO
事實上，少女在這場團隊抗戰中也打得很焦急，明明後來米克森決定暫且撤退另想辦法，少女卻因為太想要為同伴做些什麼的心情而留下來對抗。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsIhLeuMWX
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4kr0iXvs
而她會有這種太過激動的情緒，或許也包含著長時間「超負荷」所帶來的精神侵蝕。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnNMUD5I5Z
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4XcDYHWn0
等到現在真的面臨死亡時，那種炙熱的情感才終於一口氣冷卻下來。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfGxCP79N0
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylGZ0c663P
她思考起自己的愚蠢。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN43mUZ9dL
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAshoEYbXi
幾個月前，在弓箭手村郊外也發生類似的事情。若不是艾瑪的出手協助，當時可能就命喪黃泉了，而原因追根究底也是源自於這種太過急於求成的心態。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vqrDVbf7F
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgzIep1RZ
在她的心底，始終都存在著那道抹不去的陰影。因為怯弱，薩肯才必須犧牲，少女總是這麼自責。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmZdwpOoE
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ8Vl3s4Bp
因此，即使偶爾也會恐懼，罪惡感倒也會迫使她主動接受挑戰，卻也可能將她導向萬劫不復的深淵。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv5NIR9uNL
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDrSzBzoJ
——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g7FCjs1k5
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o70vTJFnE
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgq7l9mL3B
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiwh5AKKy
可是如今想這些也沒用了。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwwAbGUhth
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTUYGckSB6
少女被觸手勒得痛苦，感覺意識也開始朦朧。而且因為身體被牢牢固定住，也沒有辦法使用救命技能。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ehzhDWR79
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LONAuwtDT
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

時間悄然流逝。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9VQDFfwY
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZ2q7hvqb
少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XOyuYAu0i
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUtWZAzn8
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EMcAGBlEn
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RQ4xO4ysu
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCaDZnZYtp
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYNmHAOin
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PLWs0muVm
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMYJwoTMuN
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYztXn9pVeA
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2WyP5LVh
——不能死。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWrRO3jBwA
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzm4LuWsq1
⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw6dNp1b0U
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBjC9eImo0
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeykNLp0aY
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCeNxAVyAq
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMozsAVsLp
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Ean9GNWu
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzMWPWf4L
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSMQaEPiep
再次下墜。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3OZr7wSJ2
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67roNHIZWf
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUC0wt1tk
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyxCynGazS
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG6lO1PphU
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEhhamgiJS
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j855LW5Z0
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51dSN4t6cu
那是個尖銳的音色。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LyxSpL2W
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyAiD7bzI
接著⋯⋯雖然沒有看到，但少女黯淡的意識裡，這次浮現了另一個景象。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZ70frdjR
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDfGDDnx21
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcp9bP4kO0
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVCpt32w5i
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZOeXeNyb
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QrIXLPAbp
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iD7wgT5d
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OIar2jPqz
從此作為契機，少女的感官恢復了。聲音清晰，眼睛也開始可以捕捉光芒。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsU5Jqnyp
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECMufZ2Nan
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7V0R8SYMP
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7E4MsErrP
「好吵。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS18Yei9wve
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRCEb9ECF
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ijd8IFTJp
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy01SVpzRF
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZPwomtDk4
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZXN0MWCD
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IU8gG3dWx
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KIfkp2L6j
「妳是……艾瑪？」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcZRB5T3Vv
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA2YyU8KsZ
「真是的，我當然是艾瑪啊！如果我再晚來一點，我們就沒辦法像這樣交談了......」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi1uSYlhN2
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhguKVYxBt4
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9dlWz9tgv
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhPvULT0df
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hDx75KIF
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Ys51GWkj
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHGcToTS8
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5S6R7u1S
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiJgGZAFtB
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHYc3oLUVh
這時，安提娜聽到了其他的聲音，不遠處的陣陣打鬥聲讓瀕死所致的記憶斷片也開始接續。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6azL5cgN
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS4wuKAt3H
「這個聲音……」安提娜睜大眼睛，立時彈坐而起，「那個怪物現在怎麼了？！」
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSZppKERKN
「現在米哥他們正在和牠戰鬥著。他們勉強把牠引到工地那邊。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzadg9Dfh
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjpCJhJBsR
「是為了救我對吧......」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV2NhFAE4R
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYJgDIceC6
本來米克森已經決定撤退了，若不是為了營救安提娜，也不用重新置身危險的戰鬥中。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR59jdbpn8l
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchhRf19Bzl
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvAQUSien4
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaOOKwt8kU
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYIDwRhxG3
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzNXfdFRTc
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu3rZ6LA7D
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclvYHyF04Q
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QF0cy4QIT
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEIYKe8YKI
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TFcrHKxJU
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5qgzpR93C
「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiZXWv4Jvg
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLOfNee8w
「嗯，那我們趕緊到前方的工地跟他們會合吧！」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1YwPN6HOg
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCaWoAmPxu
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMQVyvPGx2
不遠處名為小心墮落的工地，是通往城市內的必經之路，也是現在米克森等人與怪物激鬥的戰場。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Lzd3De8m
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19YzinUlo
跟著艾瑪小跑步穿越一堆看似廢棄的鋼筋後，打鬥的光芒隨即映入視野。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVlQkeL3Ff
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kVRizwyj
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGTPjOCz6T
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1ZSAaNGB
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5uT9z0g3o
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPf2WgNqvM
不用太多言語便心領神會。和之前相同，艾瑪組織起進攻，放出的箭矢凍結了怪物的行動。在此同時，安提娜也召喚出了代替自己移動的烏鴉群，往怪物襲擊而去。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfCaH13IW9
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMRh9IY1dw
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAaljMbT6
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmaI1zGWRp
米克森首先來到兩人身旁，在知道安提娜已經沒事後，明明看得出倦意，卻如釋重負般的露出笑容。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8QcQmJ0iM
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1UH5mL1d2
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXljVfHWezS
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡece4Ym0Lra
「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY6OTmQ3cb
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTNEiIZmkd
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq5y7sWiH5
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9xxwseOj7
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4v9bnnMGL
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUkEn1Rwtm
「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ehI0V9y6
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouuqWyPDXf
「道歉我們就接受了。但還道什麼謝啊，既然是隊友就更加應該互相幫忙不是嗎？」米克森說。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLA3E3dhLR
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmj50u9MeY
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU3Px6Dgzt
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXksWxc3vb
「提娜，儘管自己再怎麼強，很多事情靠自己是沒辦法解決的哦！」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoauCEDrAiA
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOc1hT6aKA
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISyPIiQ6kW
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrctm1J4Ui
艾瑪和克里斯也接著說。被抑制住的淚水這次終於緩緩流淌而出。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fP0ZYRAU
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC7KGFElHD
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tbQe29zAS
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWVgSndWH1
越聽他們說的話，淚水好像越止不住似的，安提娜只好暫時側過臉，默默擦乾眼淚。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8SM1C00cV
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEFKaz5Shj
「提娜。」178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqgulQHwCi
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhlkjTcbrF
但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXfuFd8yDj
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlI3MQApz
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPQYVCyVAs
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69hkYIx1hT
安提娜轉頭，只見一向話多的艾瑪只是不發一語地點了點頭。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzUgPtOKrK
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUdaOrEhg
但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaf04ERu4m

擦拭完眼淚，轉過身之後的少女，似乎稍微理解何為團隊了。
