『哇嘎—————！』161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i666x4Mgo
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXQBQUt1FQ
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8kcWqQqI8
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WDrjuZ9EN
但在安提娜眼前的這隻，卻有讓任何人眉頭一蹙的特點。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XMp4hnwgx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iE6dS7ATV
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0EvJfltEl
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgRAnDxPe
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFEl0VTtjo
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1tSgZpocK
眼下這隻怪物，正是有著這樣非凡的體型。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6vS54Qna
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ0lzZ6M44
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFWP1ztxi
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5T8obANl
所以毫無疑問，眼前這隻章魚是「異常的」。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPHxuTKXo
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgYDGmnNPt
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UmH5dHs64
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CeQX4gr2i
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PSI1oZSaQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyOg0CJoNQ
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......。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKslUM7tPXo
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K7MScYa4b
她落下了不甘與懊悔的淚水。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkkUJw7bxV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8jQbNkbk1
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURa08krJWU

時間倒回稍早。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHH5POuSch
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkWefAgNt0
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy20JL4vYM
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPXEKPKeMw
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKfJeAt4ig
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjTTfkSN65
於是，赫麗娜便決定讓他們去完成這個重責大任。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkyReBM7Y
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrYt7y8dp
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw29b8R3BA1
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS3hclJy4o
然而這個看似比較權宜的結果，卻有意料之外的變局。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFsHbaEspP
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1c4bYuxuH
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDhO4KPVW
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleqfFo46bH
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUnU1ByYnb
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobP3ilmsz
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T75xzEK6n
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgXW2XM4E0
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKsFt085RS
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnpjA0b2h6
她思考起自己的愚蠢。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFuMwidvSc
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhLHOLCsoW
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV494zCYjD
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdB11ZLGzr
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5oNHaxGF0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjDjKe31TI
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHX7AmswS
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOdpTBWVA6
——如果可以……如果可以的話……我還想再跟大家……161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPmL6pRh4d
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxLOV2VBvW
雖然說不出話，少女仍是從喉間發出細微悲鳴。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIRT2B9Zuj
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGbN2aEsW
可是如今想這些也沒用了。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42hOOn7Cs
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00C9MCQ2K3
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdP7ViHBUP
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LiUCQ5TqG
很快的，所有一切都模糊了⋯⋯。

時間悄然流逝。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58GUtY4ZJ2
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoV3iz6uiP
少女感覺到有某種東西投入已經死寂的心潭。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIDaPqvqws
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVEATss8u1
很細微的聲音......傳入少女的感官。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJejmttGZx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6EQ8TfUk3
——好像……有人在呼喊著我。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKgLx4Yo7T
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpPmqPN3f
但少女只覺得眼皮很沉重，根本沒有一點睜開的力量。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuicU1zeeV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dt7D7q685
可是，正當她又要完全睡去時，又有某種幻影若隱若現。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAznJ3dr7yT
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41CtFzvZ05
——不能死。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWiCGPKIZ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQNkenmlFm
⋯⋯但是活著又如何呢？就一定能夠復仇嗎？161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY1PPWv9qw
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdlTeX15KV
而且就算復仇了，任何人也都不在了不是嗎。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7hSQdcOJ7
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzRSUDMFN
這樣的話，還不如就乾脆地去放棄一切。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvj6lwwIR5
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdBzeOQKKz
少女幾乎放任自己茫然的思考往消極的方向而去。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDuRTEboMx
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPl4Hl6JPJ
再次下墜。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKft1ZvlJlv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7TwYgV7aZ
然而少女又聽到了剛剛的聲音。
不斷地不斷地⋯⋯161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyu9eMfdLb
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNvDzdOwZt
每當想要沉沉睡去時，就又傳遞而來。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6f2SucjV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YiuG0KHT5
於是，少女終於聽得比較清楚了。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqg5KeY3J
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqz8Rs6hda
那是個尖銳的音色。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbeDlA3W5N
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDzbWR7wM6
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnltRWMWpP
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvAa3PH6z9
不是在那個地獄裡所發生的慘劇。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IStN3871g
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIACUXyGsl
而是風光明媚、夜柔雲輕時的共同歡笑。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cb6MLYZcU
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRatxD0yKJ7
也因此聯繫上了更久之前的溫暖記憶。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdT1BBFocy
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C09aTvoLM
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi2fshqkiv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhWE0w1Wt9
然後，那個人的樣子映入眼簾。隔著一片濕潤的朦朧。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAr1KGiBCT
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme2jUWf4K
「好吵。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7H4RvEtQt
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIKLNylSwq
安提娜發出了直白的感想。抱著她的女孩笑了。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPk6gUwbk
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty76aObZ7W
「……太好了！妳還活著......我以為妳已經……」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAUnZEDnSl
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhreAdBotyX
說著說著，少女哭了起來，雖然原本就有點哽咽。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeGq3FQVwk
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf3I2pCTWj
「妳是……艾瑪？」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeduOvJYG5
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAcZoj6ouv
「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......」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGEwxVFIHL
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBS9izgjXk
艾瑪顯然還略帶哭完後的沙啞與鼻音。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbBgHkLjK6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRBB0aUSE0
「這麼說來......剛剛感覺有某種液體流入我的喉嚨......那是藥水嗎？」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jzwJtbIOJ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuRGrDy0km
看了看衣服上殘留的紅色汙漬，如此向艾瑪問道。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXQcL8E6sS
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mTXzesZ63
「嗯。幸好還來得及……」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmz0lUJ9kE
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLoY2Re4wv
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbykZ2WwO5K
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw67i2d0Ud
「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？！」
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHmmBIDuTs
「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。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66xGG1r0yN
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LB3zavlQP
「是為了救我對吧......」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dHbPovin8
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKelwOB32Uu
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t1r3cMuEQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡervCkGjY8g
即使如此，他們還是奮不顧身。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiB69kdkkt
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25RILLUk2t
安提娜想到這裡，不禁又因為愧疚而低下頭。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX5ijfMwGA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunTsBYgogM
但現在不是繼續消沈的時候了。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpuWJDnQS0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FKihvnask
若不想讓狀況更糟，就必須站起來！161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDVYcQCHTC
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewA8CrvDo
這也是唯一能夠報答他們的方式。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxSbpnEkYi
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWjKUarvlb
「對不起艾瑪，我已經沒事了。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3jEnWGHp
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7SVzEkvSC
「嗯，那我們趕緊到前方的工地跟他們會合吧！」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoOKzNiKQg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADc1hc76kG
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoWaTodjAW
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLc05LA1Hv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPY9drF6RA
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZIxdzBf6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCAhRQ6Pb8
米克森注意到兩人。瞬間的眼神交流後，艾瑪朝安提娜說：161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3C4rWcoZA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOPd4pmuBf
「我們一起上。——麻痹箭！」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnl6gcgH7x
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWfyh6gY3n
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Arere9bcV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V16NC4jUI
原本苦戰的隊友們，因此有了能夠脫身的空檔。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yvtGcr504
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZdSWDfBX4
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUlt2kOSFp
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdj1AoYN1
但接著過來的維德就沒那麼和善了⋯⋯161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFheipSwed

「妳做起事情還真是隨心所欲啊！」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF2UkV9HbP
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliYXtNxw0m
維德攤開手，語氣有些嚴厲地諷刺。克里斯見此則解釋：161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l59Q4dWwY
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQCdlHwyXq
「維德哥只是刀子嘴豆腐心，提娜妳不要放在心上。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxEhSLzDwX
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu4pGvjMWP
「確實是我的錯，對不起！然後也真的謝謝你們......。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXTAdHzv1L
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9bzD3PHj
「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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHywz7iUQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjQdo4p9T6
「所以妳也別總是只想單打獨鬥啦！」然後是維德。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDisu6fAiY
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJVFFAq6nI
「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！」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEoz0lsXkV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt118GCPLkz
「艾瑪說得對。下次千萬別再做這種讓人擔心的事情了。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LT67zDhj1
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BZtRJ9voX
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSsaxei1a9
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhbN2pUBwE
「謝謝.....真的謝謝你們大家......是我太逞強了......」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamavjRjnlI
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJmb96sBW
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pcSjEUVx4
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TsgTkyowT
「提娜。」161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ne2an8Enr
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtjzndCsj7
但也在這時，艾瑪伸出了手放到安提娜的肩膀上。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbdPGORmo1
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Scg3TuX8
平凡無奇的叫喚，讓安提娜感到格外溫暖。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rCmad2q6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeGpPHYFbV
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。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwtwlZVEms
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gInpVIhH8
但僅僅如此，她便明白她的意思了。161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzsVgQYoaJ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqbceibjp2
擦拭完眼淚，轉過身之後的少女，似乎稍微理解何為團隊了。
