Chapter 85: Luck
Nanoe reacted the fastest, imdiately flinging a long bench up to perfectly shield Laura and Jonathan, while she retreated and ducked behind a table.
The wave of fire ca fast and left just as fast. Luckily, all three of them were fine, aside from Jonathan and Laura getting slightly burned. Still, compared to death, this was nothing.
Crop! Crop!
At that mont, footsteps outside rang out again, then stopped right in front of the room’s door.
Inside the room, the bizarre creature slowly moved toward Jonathan and Laura.
"Damn it! Are we really going to die here?" Jonathan ground his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness as he looked at Nanoe.
Nanoe was different. She didn’t give up at all, gripping the gun as she fired at the bizarre humanoid.
BANG!
BOOM!
Another loud explosion sounded, but this ti the creature wasn’t engulfed by flas. Instead, the fire around it transford into countless tentacles, stretching out in every direction.
Whoosh!
Nanoe jolted, dodging a fire-tentacle whipping at her like a lash.
BAM!
The tentacle slamd down, instantly splitting the nearby sofa in half. The cut edge was still burning, leaving a long streak of fire across the floor.
[Too hot... but... still not enough...]
"Heh?!" Nanoe startled, her gaze locking onto that bizarre humanoid. She felt like she’d just heard a voice coming from it.
"You..."
Whoosh!
Before Nanoe could say anything, the fire-tentacle struck at her again.
She hurriedly dodged. Fortunately, its attack speed wasn’t high. With her current physique and reflexes, she could avoid them easily.
BAM!
The fire-tentacle smashed into the floor with a loud blast, leaving another burning line of fire behind.
[Not enough! Fire... this fla... is still not enough...]
"Are you talking?" Nanoe frowned, asking.
The creature’s body continued twisting inside the raging fire. Jonathan and Laura looked confused as they glanced at her.
BAM!
Suddenly, sothing slamd hard into the door, making them all flinch.
"This is bad!" Jonathan frowned. "Hold the door. Don’t let whatever’s outside get in!"
Laura was terrified, but she had no choice other than to brace the door.
Nanoe glanced at Jonathan and Laura, then back at the creature in front of her. It wasn’t hard for her to realize she was the only one who could hear that strange voice.
It sounded like a howl, yet carried a bleakness, not pain, but failure and despair. And yet, within that voice was a kind of hope.
[I haven’t... failed... there’s still a chance... I... still have... a chance...]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that mont, countless fire-tentacles surged out from the creature’s body like a swarm of writhing snakes.
[Fire... I need to... perfect... it...]
"Fire?!" Nanoe frowned, raising the gun again and firing at it.
BAM!
The piercing blast rang out, and it was as if the fla vanished the instant it touched the creature’s body.
[Too little... too weak...]
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fire-tentacles imdiately closed in around Nanoe, making her jolt. They ford a cage around her, sealing off every escape route.
The creature stepped toward her, arms reaching out as if to grab her.
[More... more fire...]
Nanoe suddenly felt the blood in her body heating up, so hot she could almost feel as if her body itself were catching fire.
Seeing this, countless thoughts flashed through Jonathan’s mind. Then he said, "Laura, hold the door for ."
"Heh?! What are you trying to do?" Laura startled and hurriedly asked.
Jonathan didn’t answer. He lunged toward Nanoe, pulled a round sphere from his backpack, and shouted, "Bastard!!!"
Whoosh!
He used all his strength to hurl the sphere at the bizarre creature. In that instant, the sphere split apart, revealing a gap in the middle. From that gap, freezing cold sprayed out, low enough to ice over anything it touched.
But...
Whoosh!
A fire-tentacle snapped out in a blink, wrapped around the sphere, then tightened hard.
BAM!
A burst of cold mist sprayed out, but it was quickly heated away. The sphere lted, dripping onto the floor.
"What?!" Jonathan jolted, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He’d paid 500 gold coins for that special item from the "Supermarket
