『哇嘎—————！』77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVllANZ3tv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xs0voIsUd
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQXae51dlq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7plr3eriz
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIEsMfEOR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4LRBrdKc
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc134OoPCF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHmSIIRkvf
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVgQE9cUcy
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4Gai7VRZ
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUmqpAKEPH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKuPWGvmbr
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Cb37gGp8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCwnpZ8lbI
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi7iifNXMP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWbRUCGzp
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8lJOlRUoM
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEIdFaYXAw
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZmqBXHv1T
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UgbwJ9b3S
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......。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ZANts9LU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpIl2OI530
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TNnLbC7MY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OOKttfaWu
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq3meKFqYX

時間倒回稍早。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepQPoCoQl3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230Xgl9JYw
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxny8sIgwUR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAIG54TpSG
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmapjHERHLL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pTaKGzWLm
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa9DxxHodi
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U7UjISeAy
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9BX59xT6k
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAoWjnIJhM
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR05VP7o8f
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqdeT0G8w
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOunHJvxGas
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBNHxRQnOb
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCgBmLeimK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtYJ9832jG
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE1LLcapV9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXcqV01mv
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHMJCFH87G
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOav2wdi1GY
她思考起自己的愚蠢。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5hHD8HLj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3U74N73bc
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIgwN9sXEG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBFXFYjSzd
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqxaBDsil
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhkWbqGlXz
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyApKcNuu2

——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb3qXBUroP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfTTOxJkC7
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVVMpv8x6P
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIqnQLe3BP
可是如今想這些也沒用了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrgeP2rAp8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoTLnyoBh
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApW8hPhxwO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqveZcgUYp0
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0G0AqUH8F
少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EWoznDB4e
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoQdzmlu62
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAOnkxOkvr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNDlzM0Tq
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bVtTai3Tk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaPjD0q0BX
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2beR5CE4n
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTuk5VZTGq
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM9JJaTMrT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmNLnk544D
——不能死。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg05lpBIfo
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQek59Kazk1
⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLubDw9W8Z
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEvzHMMJk4
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ285sVboXpq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD5k3Dzkf2
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIgOPJL8Q
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaWJd8ihcy
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIlQeGPxOk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjiLDOIBO
再次下墜。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gxz5smhIZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLFXqAotQd
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ4l6jjUXj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivYId1l1Do
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgIfs6m29M
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZ1n4kFwj
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgGc41TZ9O
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iM0jxiLn8
那是個尖銳的音色。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjbnYtbBiA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSWyn6WuDk
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8MheAJJpW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy47uowrBu
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFgbvwFB8z
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMd7B1GUTy
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzXuPMrZ6o
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx7NdiaPwf
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hg4vtfYdN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3etiNFYiM6
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡues6ZZw0GB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpnN2NWvx
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhNTL35zGZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Nzl3z6iz
「好吵。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHUrUvMpD1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjo8LGSxb
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcpu39ph6T
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt7evWi2ou
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX1MIDBwP0
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbsudefVlF
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34LP8e0Le
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSS5wBZLKy
「妳是……艾瑪？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3y6DAZliO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvevA3MJ0AC
「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......」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdRyEkjOF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GWsukbKm
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMObJCrsFx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzUVl7iOmW
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7CJ38DBqx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9391CTtZU
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pq0PjhQPm
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa16kK1m6s
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4KoR0E9g
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsAEyLUZpX
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnwL6Gtbvk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStAdN6eH2c
「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？！」
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDm5rdWITP
「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。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMXyTPlVW8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSgX15rZps
「是為了救我對吧......」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UbYKIi824
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoAqQ83AxB
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN2X8GLAWr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSMeVY5lpL
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W2lq2O6zH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMAyxF7T7
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ582M4J27Uo
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuQ6LYoxvl
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AW3iyIsCp
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hab0VQKcY
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Va0EBXJ1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6JTUU5q8N
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oF3O4WRCg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiYrmsTq53
「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY6n4b5spF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMaJU3PB8c
「嗯，那我們趕緊到前方的工地跟他們會合吧！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXeo8fRpJh
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosEN34mGrc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDgi6vULHu
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNyI6PsTgh
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtBAWrF8M5
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYyUqxJQJr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P735PoouZ
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcDkwXYXcb
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVW53lrQuG
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJtU520NFw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iPK89ZPwX
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TBldF8hLF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uExKaMEDg
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQD89Dpzv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvgMjWTvYw
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwtXqsw1nn
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4opfl02JP
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE73NpMewxs
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHYH2jra2b
「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIGtWCGg2y
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnpfh4ILD
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWV7BiZq3n
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ek3w7eiA
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovu9pgMQYe
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwCIucRcZB
「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU40Fr5cEe
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCQpri03ED
「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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSZY7rvqi
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCp0pyt3y
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyuWuAovVu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTDqI4krXJ
「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！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz5WGfdIql
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2MxnNAiRj
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vj2aMBCA2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQJEyOQDvi
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12U8uiUo4G
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTr5NIPp8
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm4Hf9l1dv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnmmMGs8X
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHPjgQ3BL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjVxQXme5B
「提娜。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA4AbjtLXC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7xG9CgBMf
但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGocGqHRQC6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumE6B0UeFi
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZdtmaeHO5
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIO0GIOfBH
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxagv3EKdOt

但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU1yssXXU8
