『哇嘎—————！』78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngKxpqeaYX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDp0TDS7fW
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZwD27rtmC
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZxKotcBX
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBgQL9SnxT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDy2yirNJ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVOgYQwN9y
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDYrJx2DGh
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZTe9xBQR8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonczl7N4n2
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePqo9fuMP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTxGtXTjSW
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdhd5p5Vcf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORUoeBz1R
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF9q0c9c1w
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLxAcCrMoG
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjKpeOKaFO
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTPQSew4OQ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhOPQBPxs
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjSRVFrIV
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......。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYYPC0lVnQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m8nfeCKha
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftSk1yp64w
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuojG4pJpYj
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJO8thkgT

時間倒回稍早。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1p6JLuMCS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZqmbYfWLG
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMKJ3VEMEw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F064mail0
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3kvUeYhjh
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVGDhpaRki
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ji6Hi02F
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡows9ONHdHt
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUK6qEoMK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fSiedafK
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOLAXftYW1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShRVnByqng
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbORPAwLSNf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeaXv3YOpQ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gv0GUy62i
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNdQqdYj8B
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzz6Fr0oSQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPUyXXFRG
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb584y5hi6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1co2HTJBXO
她思考起自己的愚蠢。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCOEaMq3YY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJSxuEZ2Xc
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfcFBwiLGJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan6YcRBGcJ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFxSXB5NZN
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPWwOE8e3g
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7xVlvrbI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1Gn0t3LM
——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiToAP57vs
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzcCZ0Y1ab
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RWnV09r16
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR44B9eU9Lu
可是如今想這些也沒用了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJKX8C9eX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoU9AzvM7r
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJldpGhobEr
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwjhOtEw7
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

時間悄然流逝。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCUP9o8n2D
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBXMw17xdl
少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zFPfIAgCd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwpg80M5G
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDVCNHo60S
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjKPE4ScPJ
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPf03rPrU6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWhjk7D2u
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvmxECQiZ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aF4DGjMju
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJrXN2i1XZ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7LKof7Zv3
——不能死。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb1a9Cayt4
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEseLxlzzZk
⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Qf75KTsB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJE2qrZ2bs
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRpAE72QxW
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDFlprdUcc
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJ6wjHjhd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iOCAHoEwT
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dtqQCvdg9
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRiL8m5Ion
再次下墜。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfiwwMSSLz
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBVSG1m7hF
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRFFBXwvj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k9l01QkUk
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOphFa7tjjJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37i664hkhJ
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFFocv1xz
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Hy34sf3C
那是個尖銳的音色。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVBoqdSrm
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMbRJwl3L
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dxpiufjkF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkwF9Wwi4f
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u5LASiCFa
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IpFeyzOCt
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMw2vwUDd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8KTGWdIf
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvSJDEsRB1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYytxjhrbsW
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOiKQDyhZA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeDyl0u1jp
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFSND6Z85
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3JlLEwya
「好吵。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSijpBkcmwf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7wLsA43T
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5B0nPukB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Qza7n5fu
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CnTb6T1BS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDtGwokXKU
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqLbZHZtb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEsRxwZMAX
「妳是……艾瑪？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLONeULqs09
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Cmqmn1jx
「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......」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOAlelGDZK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y79OHfmgo
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTOu94uV7D
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImKWTo3JPS
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJVsyGPWqB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgCrLJIV6W
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHt5XAxmz
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr5JYmNZZD
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFShFZUSs6B
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbTdMti4m9
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5rhiGXJzb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPEAPLclr
「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？！」
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcEOQELgBa
「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。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2J5yQ1rwy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzMcK8LXd
「是為了救我對吧......」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i9B3H65DU
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wdVt6tUm6
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odqsiZpEl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aGtkJaVH5
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRKwWCZ1k
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL18o4R9aqf
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXROnJoge
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp5ZxOjXRm
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewpZC0YTZ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhYeSfHWT
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9SPXRivf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI7IuZOmTT
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKxoCoqLiw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UCYiMrhvx
「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD6u7mtuSo

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9qcLzJmtQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu7EHEVl3G
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDvjNS7bqY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO9iSIhRKz
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZPcktbQ7
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET1JkaZhaT
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsFd6M2yf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgU8wwakA
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvksBw698Dx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWUYmPl4sz
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12pRhPJjwg
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmghB3cYKjQ
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6HTnxQKGL
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpishzCpDcA
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWUdpk9nG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy3P2uKghN
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0MlQ26y14
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU4KixoBNm
「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0VL0FgMyx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn50S4vI3H
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG51Qubmpm0
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxkWKjkyYe
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qSscIRk3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE41r6SC1Ym
「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYLIEij1F
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDt1Hpt6Cp
「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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SlDjrE0br
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2xaBPzyVR
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurAGaGstzI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiExhlMgPj
「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！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj78fpSzSx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCkqgeuYck
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8LKsV3UP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡButMk2dCDK
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXsYzss8sI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6N75OdWSv
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlkyY2U2q8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpITTKenIVg
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JicTtG7LN
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQgvQGzNP
「提娜。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzHo2vdLtK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJQsciqgL2
但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM11FX1obuS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLDJItY44w
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DwYsgrhQ7
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6KQxH9sBD
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPqMCHSfLy

但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ar66qY2DS
