"What's that? Octopus? ”

"Something like the fiftieth floor."

Before that, the Loki Clan Quartet, who were facing the army of cannibals in the town, looked at the monster roaring in the distance and couldn't help but cast a surprised look at it.

As Theona said, the monster resembles an octopus.

The dozen or so tentacles on his body were transformed by man-eating flower monsters, each of which seemed to have its own will, dancing at will in mid-air.

And his upper body is similar to a woman's body.

This appearance is incomparably similar to the monster they met on the fiftieth floor, pierced by the Ten Thousand Swords of Emiya Shirou.

It's just that the lower half of the body used to be a green worm, and this one was an octopus.

As the monster's upper body stopped shaking, he slowly lifted his blank face. Then it moved towards Crystal Plaza.

"There are no other monsters around here!"

"Then let's go over there!"

With that, Tiona and Theogne rushed in the direction of the female monster.

Finn and Riveria followed.

After all, at this time, the army of cannibals in the town has been almost completely wiped out in the previous magic of Riveria, and the remaining few are enough for the adventurers of Rivera Town to deal with.

Now they need to get to where Ace is as quickly as possible and deal with the monster.

...

Landing gently on the stone wall, Emiya Shirou put Refia and Lulune in a safe place, and began to watch the newly emerged monster.

Unlike the monster that was once pierced through the heart by Emiya Shirou's ten thousand swords, this monster has a larger size and more powerful defense.

After all, the monsters they attached to were not of the same level in the first place.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The enraged monster chased Ace's trail and kept moving forward, attracted by Ace's magic, and he gradually came to the crystal square.

Rumble!

The arrow attack from afar exploded on the female monster's body, but it only broke a tentacle.

Before Emiya Shirou's attack arrived, the monster had already discovered the route of the attack, and then took the lead in using tentacles to block it.

"Look at the move!"

Theona, who hurried from the town, held a large double blade and struck at the monster's tentacles.

Theona lived up to her name for the Great Cut, and under her attack, the tentacle was cut off in an instant.

But before she could be proud, the tentacles that were bleeding because they had been cut off waved at her again, directly pulling her away.

"It hurts!"

Theona, who had been rolling far on the ground, touched her head and complained.

"It seems that it is not enough to just cut off the tentacles of the other party."

Unlike her younger sister, Diony, who is her older sister, calmly handles the tentacles that come at her, tearing them apart accurately, and then dodging the attack.

And at this moment, the figures of Finn and Riveria also arrived.

This makes it even more difficult to deal with monsters that are already unpleasing to Tionetiona.

As a result, he lost track of Ace and made her disappear from his sight.

...

Ace, who was fleeing everywhere under the attack of the tentacles of the female-sized monster, looked at the monster that was entangled by Finn and immediately stopped.

"Everyone!"

Looking at the people fighting, Ace immediately turned around and prepared to join the battle.

But at this moment, a red figure suddenly appeared behind her.

In the nick of time, Ace dodged the enemy's attack and turned back into the fight.

"Your opponent is me, Arya. The Orb matter has been messed up, I can't just go back empty-handed, I'm going to bring you back too. ”

Ace couldn't help but squint as she looked at the other party's sharp green eyes.

After staring at each other for a short time, the two instantly became united again.

With more powerful base stats and combat experience, the redhead quickly overpowered Ace again, even though she was using magic.

But this time is different from the last one, and this time there are disruptors in the battle.

Just as the red-haired woman gradually suppressed Ace, an arrow instantly appeared behind her.

The moment she made contact with the arrow, the redhead became aware of its presence, and then only had time to move her body slightly.

As a result, attacks aimed at the back of the enemy only hit their left arm.

But even so, it was still a fatal blow.

This blow slowed down the red-haired woman's attack to suppress Ace, and in order to avoid Emiya Shirou's attack, she was also slashed in the waist and abdomen by Ace, and she was bleeding profusely.

The blow split Ace open, and the redhead quickly stepped back to the side, frowning and keeping an eye on the direction of the arrow.

It's this troublesome guy again.

The redhead gritted her teeth angrily, full of anger.

But she didn't have anything to do with Emiya Shirou.

Standing on the distant stone wall, Emiya Shirou at this time did not set up an arrow, but sat on a stone block and looked at the two from afar.

Emiya Shirou knows very well that even if he has reached LV.4, he still can't hurt the opponent with a single attack.

But when she and Ace are at war, then their own presence is the most lethal weapon.

Cold arrows have a deterrent effect.

And the presence is explosive, but the cold arrow that is not fired is even more deterrent.

After all, she had to keep an eye on everywhere around her at all times to defend against Gong Shirou's attacks.

In this case, how can she defeat Ace.

If she can't defeat Ace, she will remain exposed to Emiya Shirou's attacks, as if the Grim Reaper was standing behind her waiting to swing her sword.

It's a dead end.

In fact, just as Emiya Shirou thought, the redhead who was fighting together again could no longer suppress Ace.

The two became evenly matched.

On the one hand, she has been guarding against Emiya Shirou's attacks.

On the other hand, her left hand was injured. After all, the redhead's fighting style is to mix punches and kicks in the fight.

With one hand missing, his offensive dropped a lot.

In this way, Emiya Shirou occasionally shoots an arrow from another place to strengthen the impression of the other party, so as to maintain the balance of power between the two.

On the other hand, it is to pay attention to the situation on the other side.

At this time, the female-sized monster had been blown out of the boarding body under Refia's magic volley of fire javelin, and only her upper body was left and she was running away in a hurry.

On her side, Riveria was running at a speed that was no less than her.

And, while Rivelia was running, she was still chanting.

Parallel chanting.

Olaria's strongest sorcerer is chanting in a textbook parallel.

"Extreme Cold, Fimbul Winter!"

Three blizzards flew out from Riveria's front of her, fanning out shells that frozen all within range.

Including a female-sized monster running away.

But before Riveria's attack could come, she threw out her tentacles and smashed them behind her, and then with the help of the reaction force, she still bounced off the frozen her.

Then he fell down the cliff.

Looking at the monster preparing to escape, Tiona and Theogne immediately set off to deliver a lore blow.

But at this moment, a red light flew from afar, hitting the falling monster.

Then I saw a huge explosion rise, and the monster that was about to escape was directly blown to pieces.

At this time, on the distant stone wall, looking at his masterpiece, Emiya Shirou smiled and said, "Right in the bull's-eye!" ”
