『哇嘎—————！』79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOCHFHiSu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuBY8PgBv
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0feYRr0RP
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjP00l9gcJ
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaf7BQTeD2
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuNToUojn
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wFxJNUF8X
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtulHll1KxG
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjYYQVh0EB
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjf778pS3Q
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yTksv5bx
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwaWksUJs9
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeX2jBo7jm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIha0Eqsup
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitevNUvq9z
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllILLdpNg7
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1QPZNpzvy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4QlGrs1N9
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhklYS4uTwj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmRh2woC8b
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......。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2En0pDuq
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCvKAGcs8p
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtkkxa4ip
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMzW5CtUVw
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSUNRTlns6

時間倒回稍早。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnnNXFTez6
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOSaHXQvyE
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LROmNVqf9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLygAIyobcB
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaWXE1VAHg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2fz1DYztJ
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMGZN2KQ3
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkHeb0L22
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2u69dqPJh
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93A9khaXSA
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNWOByOXRU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqgxDZ8usf
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGRswnBCS
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFcpFwL5Xa
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0WIZ6qQEi
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0RmgIQSM
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDuJ8gNqCV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD08E56RK9
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ndB7XmsW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4imurhML3d
她思考起自己的愚蠢。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVziDcpLRe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hK6LYwVV
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7tNVickqy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYKsq0Ui1G
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QdM9HT6wG
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kf0p858Ik
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ovFTZSZPw

——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKzdEudOA
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jxO7bX8og
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3k4H8ldu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXl51hsouG
可是如今想這些也沒用了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKZA18wK3m
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7rl79Viq4
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfgSkLLOy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNyyoJNRrr
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARwfh2MTP
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelmJ5pqCdK
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5NHswETi
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uE3EyYr1Z
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxdL1Oc97W
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKICuyMyj7
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ0kZuoIT1
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnJuYMIwMe
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSui8ZLtm6A
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA1tOYVHPs
——不能死。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQvDwCeREw

⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ONhazCQz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGb9Z3aNN
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9K8hT6GQ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OlytpzwEU
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TVYCoqgML
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjXDqRV6kq
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9WKldSBOQ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkYLSfDuu6
再次下墜。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug3zDJUIut
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXmOxukqQ
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQAg8MuTc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEowVrHXrF
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YJZAXA6pV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRMvzEZsz
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAjb0VsA3B
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgKi58MyIp
那是個尖銳的音色。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLDwSi9Ybj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKev1kv8Ji8
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQuc8h6DI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgOEC2LpW
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV1rv36fze
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPbSpT07Rz
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAL1ScVZRy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFzpX2klqM
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hzM24cS2x
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FX4ir0rbI
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWi6ixinaS
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzpKhrG6UW
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2a1ZJTuwd
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7HWJKQni
「好吵。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx3d6dUDjw
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybSzSPiQTY
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthi7cxto0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH7WpnkvmV
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwIVdpNY4k
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pr5CVyhYJ
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04xaeGfwX0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmLtWstfr
「妳是……艾瑪？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0VjFrHkyH
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡornY5iKgKz
「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......」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtKiV3t4aK
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mtg6e1W6t
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTInGG5AKe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMVMx8Q6o
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74cbIPfhU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDBwzt03K6
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hUnQRxwh
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Koox58MF
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEVqS8m7vS
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZ6C3HHCR
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexz1CEz6Pw
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNJ6WNZYj5
「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？！」
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYzVKPOYLZ
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBAPa2XQj

「是為了救我對吧......」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlkaMhsja3
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6giP2iMdAM
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhoFs49p4C
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqIBQSwk4w
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtqjAbTavZ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWnhQOqelM
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7GZH506s
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItGsMqSvsw
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8ewayAo5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw5ypAsrkb
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK5j3L64Rc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSoqcYfv93
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwFzzIrB6V

「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97RXx1YKtR

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH4MInIZCp
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonMzzl1msX
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lGc2ltDkO
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09gMDXEGy3
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHf0hk3MUV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeQpqdqjpL
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGVDhD7ki
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEArEt0KRLd
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAkatzeLWR
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoG0TNdETN
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0tS2BmNp
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDVEm3WNx
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxINYm1TnY
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1egmD5rD
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcl1skvCI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzAi0jsFVL
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMuz5miFvR

「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNtVPxz5sI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobwUKX0QuM
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6X5WxYi1
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbWgcmMn9
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMLkUBqE58

「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzI9IXtbX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5xEJIelw7
「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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG7ByLFmOY
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD7J51p8mD
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03huksZ362
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLle9AEZeUB
「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！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7uhuZD7vU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qFeMerubw
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJIrV0qBT
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVhzCfQ3bB
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXXnxDSY9s
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwSEPdEChz
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvldSWm4K5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCl1AnElOy
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdfZmnMPcF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj42psRCa4O
「提娜。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iZiEG6bw8

但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UE9UQgVGn
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WRaMR0WQp
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2yyn9dWg9

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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZR5CUxa3M

但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL486BnzRZ
