『哇嘎—————！』123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyfFeAyzJP
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSCgvppqq
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAovxAstygo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo8KzRVDz0
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxTROf8fZr
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hgXm3cvj
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfxyJAMILu
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9obYXQMSqa
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoog8Nxx3Vu
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctYr1Tllcl
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsEcMYHcYD
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gOpok8hgw
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXnnHn1zxu
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoKkFCtZRU
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfbbO7BS9X
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PcogUYNhL
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmYRqUpDVE
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbA5PZz8So
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvIkXPANWX
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPNuaDWO0A
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......。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgN4XCYJp
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB3kBJWzj8
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUxDbb0vTr
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmuSuG35xn
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQEOpmt1v2

123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCzkUL8Rkf
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLNRuNyGI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzbUbR8Gco
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKeDk31O5u
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkT3zz9d2z
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9MHBVkbzp
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YL0ie61YM
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD55m0oUw0b
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqBUQYZ5ZQ
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBVg0zGu2f
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWvWHKARs
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgkb0rCfHg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXhoaUc1n
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEOHlKMWZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8RkBgLGGW
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7gmAwy2EM
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV47UvEcGF
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQPLMhHKh
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgKQnj44Mc
她思考起自己的愚蠢。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh45XtcFScP
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9rM6nVPaA
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQ5CbhkzN
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp4aGUU5Ar
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSabusPg9r
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9PFKV7ag5
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSx6Mh9Mzi
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYqJg3HrtO
——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAw6xjK5bC
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFdpkCCseG
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ucts3rEkE
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupGlY3BVj
可是如今想這些也沒用了。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmsXfDvsCF
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hpp4GziQ1
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVdX31ljsG
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCFa0AGZK
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

時間悄然流逝。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRKUhKJQMc
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEZfUQD2td
少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7dePvJFO
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBNMivnbaD
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvFKzU36SU
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTAhhfrZtg
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHPQM1hvHI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTzrfAhy7R
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWLhfyF4v
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCsdIzEq3
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt4Qo00AWg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFVvMcI4OJ
——不能死。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJhIqFdKA
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ0ne4Xcfd
⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFJ9ye56eP
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVotjqaziu
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6vRPW4Ci
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgikbj49zw
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5e0YrrORn
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eWLNFbyj
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qi2zATa5a
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnIASFWTG0
再次下墜。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDLjOuDXnh
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJua2YexqvW
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxqNiehxN
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tIW1mJdj
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgfRSdnjmg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvI4KdFls
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJsda9s4sy
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AbkNtkSH5
那是個尖銳的音色。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QkF7NLi0E
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSMuhmHoOT
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniNxnmspVI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69XP0iUFGI
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TubYIeS8
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9LqalPrQ
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcUJAXPqth
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5f2hN5baC
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWicsAQccx
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXhmgfIhu
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ARv7ezqv
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJUIpggq27
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZzqnHjeE9
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTIxQLyAXc
「好吵。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL7YlFUVOj
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmdiaaROG8
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JltSOzdy0
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGpKOKLcr
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgrJkBWKNX
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghYVLwZQFS
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a8qs0rZSp
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQc5Pkj9k
「妳是……艾瑪？」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYAfGHyejl
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKTpBhxyx1
「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......」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDmHjxG319
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkDSnLKbZD
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvk34vk3Kc
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9TKaNn9KG
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrP8FBT7VU
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW6Saunv6k
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvLdCvHR3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0JXa62ye3
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XWxeUc6WU
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjTf0f3nGy
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbhQiPmMWg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2DBEKTsF4
「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？！」
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vz4OzMs33
「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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgoGDlGZo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivZthfLdF
「是為了救我對吧......」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dv5Qv6kJN
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoAqaTizm1
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRojPxpMYVh
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF7FG9wGgL
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGDYdKwByq
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa9JmwGzrX
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfsWyJvez
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpCN5wOdvJ
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx76McofJqR
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANqqo8Gj1i
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiREixjuQK5
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhzwQUBwSK
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCoiVrKzA
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP9XNddb6B
「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEmVc5YhDO
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKO0vqKSs0
「嗯，那我們趕緊到前方的工地跟他們會合吧！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhE4zSFApH
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKTYIqdFde
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZuL17amOh
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEBAORGdnC
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sUwMaT4Xs
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXRoEJJTgc
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQW7c95Bg6
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6svc4KFjVb
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcTdQ8pnOt
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohvOG23DBc
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWrE6tzxDM
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S8tPbffhj
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LxHZVGrUS
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gk3R5ADe1
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqRPAJnlH
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXBSE1kWJ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLYebyjw9j
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiS6qhDdjw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ332aRg39sk
「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxUNCZrEkB
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13fBAtQGhj
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TlOR4Er89
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKdStajlv
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKXcKChrK
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe07JhFCOsj
「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyilSKeGms
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswEerDzARu
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEEDK8Djs8
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWiMTT8DlG
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Mpv2JoxG
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5KtKNhzyS
「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！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ZMcLAujW
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRxsOdhPPt
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLUDIXwYT3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuEnCAaxiZ
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51gUeG7Tzw
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0kHb7pdj
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl3mWwD41F
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoltFFFxIb
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLoZwQ81fv

「提娜。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD0xUjybBz
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcDscs9wJc
但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt6LWs6T19
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHGQZSN4iC
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3noZuRs4z
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdMJbrG14q
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3YxGtO5qR

但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnbNHlIOCI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PLv28X0Sn
擦拭完眼淚，轉過身之後的少女，似乎稍微理解何為團隊了。
