The melee mercenaries in the front row had just raised their shields, and the black octopus, which was spinning like a grinding wheel, crashed straight into it, and after a screeching noise like metal rubbing against each other, the mercenaries and shields were knocked out. An unusually rough cut appeared on the shield, and the mercenary spurted a line of blood in mid-air.

In the face of the swirling impact of the black octopus, even the shield warriors who are responsible for defense cannot resist it.

The shield warrior slammed into the ground so far away that the force even caused him to slide several more meters on the ground. This was the effect of the shield warrior retreating directly from the impact of the black octopus at the last moment, otherwise he would have been cut in half like the shield in the distance.

Trying to get up from the ground, although he managed to escape with his life, the black octopus's attack just now broke several of his ribs, and by the way, he was also cut several deep holes by the messy stones on the ground.

From the hidden place in his side pocket, the mercenary pulled out a bottle of bright red potion. Raising his head and drinking, under the effect of the life potion produced by Nia, the large and small wounds on the mercenary's body quickly healed.

Feeling that his body was no longer bleeding, the mercenary tried to struggle to his feet. But only halfway up, the mercenary lay down trembling again. With a wry smile like crying on his face, the mercenary stretched his arm to his chest, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he straightened a few broken ribs.

"Captain...... You didn't tell us before...... This medicine can't cure broken bones. After inhaling the cool air with difficulty, the mercenary had no choice but to take out the second bottle of life elixir and drink it.

Flying this mercenary was only the beginning, and the black octopus did not stop because of this, but spun faster and faster. In the beginning, the black octopus was enough to repel the shield warriors, and when the speed became faster, the mercenaries naturally had no room to resist.

The first shield warrior was followed by several more mercenaries thrown into the air. Some of them were able to escape with heavy injuries under the spinning attack, while two of them were left on the land forever with little combat experience.

"Hey, big guy, look over here!" Just as the black octopus was proud of the results it had made, a delicate voice came from behind it. The spinning body turned slightly, and the black octopus saw that direction, and a little Lori was aiming the raised staff at it.

"Magic-magic-cannon!" Relying on the procrastination of the previous mercenaries, Nia finally accumulated enough mana. With a shout, a flickering flash of lightning coalesced at the tip of the staff that Nia raised, and a basin-sized ball of electric elemental elements slammed towards the black octopus.

In this attack, Nia compressed nearly a third of her mana. While it takes a lot of time to accumulate mana, it also means that this attack is quite powerful.

Because the distance between the two is not too far, and the speed of the black octopus is reduced when turning, the electric cannonball finally bombards the black octopus's body.

Dense electric light continued to flow above the black octopus's body like an electric snake, and the black octopus's originally rotating body also paused violently for a moment. The huge wound at the location where the lightning ball hit was clearly visible to everyone, and from the wound of the octopus, a large amount of green liquid flowed out of it.

However, the octopus did not stop, but began to spin again with a wound. It only has this ability, and it takes a long time to use it again after using it. In its beliefs, if it stops spinning, it will be killed by the mercenaries.

However, this time, the black octopus's attack was directed to Nya, who had caused the most damage to it before. To paraphrase it in the game, it's that the octopus's hatred was tightly pulled on by Nia's previous attack.

For this situation, Nia can definitely describe it as happy. Because if you have to find one in the mercenary team who can ignore the 'Octopus Spin', it's Nia. At this point, the black octopus was already injured, and as long as it could delay time, even if Nia stopped attacking at all, it would be able to win. On the other hand, it minimizes the damage to the mercenaries.

……

After jumping nimbly to a boulder, up until this point, Nia had been running around the square with the octopus for dozens of minutes. At this time, the green body fluids of octopuses were scattered everywhere on the ground of the square. The black octopus spun at a speed that was completely incomparable to what it had started with, and dozens of arrows stuck in its body had been shot by the mercenaries later.

Although the black octopus tried to attack the mercenaries many times, the powerful magic that Nia unleashed did not let the hatred go.

The black octopus rushed out clinging to the surface of the boulder, and its body had scratches from the boulder, and now that it had lost a lot of bodily fluids, the black octopus could no longer control its body well.

Hiding behind the boulder, taking advantage of the octopus to slow down and turn again, Nia finally launched a final counterattack. Five walls of ice rise from the front and back of the black octopus, and this time, the ice wall is no longer used as a defense, but as the most powerful means of limiting the black octopus's movements.

"Dancing sticks—you give it to me—lie down!" After a thunderbolt put the finishing touches on the octopus that had been stopped, Nia thrust the spear in her hand into the spot where it had just been hit. With a shout of all her might, the black octopus's body was flung up by Nia.

"Bang!" After a dull sound, the black octopus's head was slammed into the ground by Nia, and the subsequent dazzling attack directly blew the inside of the black octopus to shreds.

The tenacious black octopus is not completely dead even now, but now it has no chance to get up again. Under the attack of the surrounding mercenaries, the black octopus did not even have a complete body left in the end.

"Whew~Whew~" Holding the spear hard so that she would not fall to the ground due to physical exhaustion, Nia greedily breathed in the air around her, although it was not very clean, after the battle.

Not only Nia, but also the other mercenaries, counting the many octopuses they killed before, they have held out for a long time, although there is not much battle damage in the end, but this battle is a very big challenge for the mercenaries' physical strength.

"Let's get here today, we don't have enough to compete with Lotus in our current form." Scanning her surroundings, Nia finally made the decision to retreat, "But before we leave, we need to destroy all these octopus eggs in the square." ”

While the mercenaries were destroying the octopus eggs, Nia spun around the square.

In front of the small temple door in the center, Nia saw four recesses in the door. It seems that this is where the four books of prophecy are placed, and when they are put down, they will face the final battle. However, there is still plenty of time to face the powerful apostle at the door now.

After going around, Nia didn't find anything out of the ordinary, it seemed that it was really just a plaza leading to the central temple.

Returning to her previous position, in the distance, Nia saw Vader kneeling on the ground.
