The tentacles effortlessly pierced her breastplate without leaving any trace on the armor. A wave of coldness and numbness passed through her, and Lily felt that most of the power in her body was drained away in an instant. She turned around as hard as she could,
Roll away from the monster.
She raised her body on one knee and tried to regain her posture, but she felt that the giant sword in her hand was as heavy as a stone. The originally light breastplate suddenly turned into a lead weight, making it difficult for her to stand upright.
"Spirit creatures." Yuffie turned her gaze to Lily and looked at the others one by one. "Physical attacks are very ineffective against them. Lily, please take a rest first. Bell and Amberley, please contain it. Try to stay away from it."
If it is further away, it will take away your life force!"
"Look, look at me!" Beron's voice sounded a little trembling, "I, I'm not afraid of ghosts!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" the white bear roared, leaning down and assuming an attack posture. The monster seemed to feel Amberly's threat - or in other words, felt the powerful breath of life on her body, and floated staggeringly towards the white bear
direction.
Amberley did not intend to engage in a direct battle with the monster. She slowly backed away, constantly letting out provocative low growls.
The monster chased her for a short distance, and then stopped moving. The eyes in the middle of its body glowed, and quickly turned into a blazing bright red——
"Look over here——!"
Lin's high-pitched voice came from the other side, followed by a blazing golden thread that accurately swept across the middle of the monster's body.
The monster closed its eyes as if it was electrocuted, and its translucent body trembled, emitting a sharp, tooth-aching hiss like fingernails scraping against glass. Then it turned around, and the tentacles coiled around its body stretched dozens of times in an instant.
times, and whipped towards the blonde girl like lightning.
"Hey, no, it seems to be even more angry!?"
Lin quickly retreated, but the flexibility of those tentacles was far beyond imagination, and a few of them still successfully hit her - she staggered, and her movements were obviously slowed down.
The blond girl summoned several sharp falcons made of light in front of her chest to block the pursuit. However, the monster's attacks seemed to be endless. Within a few seconds, Lin seemed to be in a state of confusion and danger.
Lily tried to take a deep breath, letting the strength slowly fill her body and limbs. She stood up, took a few steps closer to the monster, and threw the obsidian giant sword at the opponent with all her strength.
The giant sword whirled past and cut right into the center of the monster. Its whole body shrank suddenly, and then let out a violent scream, almost blocking out all other sounds.
Accompanied by a sound that almost pierced the eardrum, the shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions from where it was. Lily felt as if her chest had been hit by a hammer, and her body leaned back uncontrollably, falling solidly to the ground.
On the ground.
She struggled to get up, but the intense dizziness and the tightness in her chest made her unable to move. She reluctantly turned her head and saw Lin and Amberli trying to support their bodies, Yuffie trying to get up like her, and Bell
Already lying on his back unconscious.
The monster's body became one size larger again, facing her side - no, all the eyes in the body should have opened in sequence, and every pupil lit up with a bloodthirsty red light.
"Lost?" She murmured in a low voice, "It's really...a pity..."
Yuffie seemed to want to say something, but the buzzing sound in her ears made it difficult for her to hear the other party's words. The red light around the monster became more and more dazzling, and the ground, the sky, all the wreckage and even themselves were bathed in it.
This symbolizes death under the light.
Then she heard a familiar voice.
"I won't let you hurt Lilinono." Alphonse raised his right arm, and in the palm of his right hand, a green flame instantly ignited, complementing the blood-red in the air, "I won't let you hurt either.
Everyone!"
In an instant, the flames condensed into a point and turned into a burning line of green fire, hitting the lower end of the monster's body.
Flames ignited from there, covering its whole body in the blink of an eye, and the sky turned bright green. The monster rolled around, constantly making miserable howls, and its ignited tentacles swung aimlessly, but it was completely unable to extinguish it.
flame.
Its body quickly shrunk under the devouring flames, its eyes and mouth melted into unrecognizable tissue, and was completely wiped from the body. Finally, when the green flames disappeared, everything that once made up it was turned into slightly glowing ashes.
, before it fell to the ground, it was already lost.
The cold air brushed against Lily's cheek. She raised her upper body with her arms and found that the wind was blowing again in the silent outpost. The wind was still cold and the outpost was still dark, but for some reason, she felt that her body was stronger than before.
A little warmer.
"Al...well done." She murmured.
The machine man ran to her quickly and picked her up with his strong and warm arms - the machine man needed to consume energy, and his body was naturally warm.
Lin asked Yuffie concernedly, and the girl shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Amberley returned to her human form and picked up Bell, who was lying on his back with his eyes closed, to check if there was anything wrong with him.
.
"I was just scared and fainted!" The Elna woman came to a conclusion after looking over it. She smacked her lips and asked, "Has this child suffered any psychological trauma?"
"It should be said that he hasn't suffered enough?" Lily responded angrily, "He was so frightened by such a thing that he dared to claim to be a first-class mercenary."
"It's not all Bell's fault." Yuffie slowly walked to her side, "The monster's scream contained a strong mental attack. Bell just lacked resistance to it."
"Then what's the difference." Lily curled her lips, thinking about whether to let Yuffie throw a few spiritual spells at the Belon people in the future. Otherwise, this time, or even being controlled by the hag before, would happen again.
, if not done well, the entire team will be put in danger.
She hugged the machine man's arm, leaned her whole body against him, raised her head and looked at his face, "Al is the most reliable, and he actually killed him in one go."
"It's not perfect yet." The machine's eyes flickered slightly and he answered her calmly, "The energy consumption of the amplification spell is very large. Now I need to recharge it for an hour before I can regain my ability to cast spells."
"That's enough." Lily said with satisfaction. The most important thing in small-scale battles is often the beginning. With Alphonse's help, as long as you can inflict heavy damage to the enemy first, you can greatly reduce the chance of failure or injury.
She was thinking about how to use the powerful attack power of the machine man in the future, and while turning her head, she found Amberli looking around with a serious face.
Lily sighed, walked forward, and patted her shoulder. "The friend you mentioned... is there no chance of success in this situation?"
The Elna woman shook her head, not looking depressed at all.
"She'll be fine, absolutely fine!" Amberley said loudly.
