Chapter 691: 116. Standoff through space (two in one)
"Miss, be careful!"
The giant eyeball on the tree branch outside the window suddenly looked toward Valentina, and then tentacles grew from the branches, rushing toward Valentina at high speed. The tentacles burst through the window, and in an instant, they were about to reach the terrified and pale-faced Valentina. Fortunately, Heidlin, who was behind her, acted quickly, pulling the wheelchair back just in time to narrowly avoid the first round of attack.
"What... what is that?"
"Never mind that now, Miss. Clan Chief Dal, please evacuate all members immediately. We'll talk outside."
Heidlin might have been the calmest person at the scene. Though her words were steady, if you were to focus intently on her thighs at that moment, you would notice they were shaking non-stop; clearly, her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
"Boss, I'm here!"
Just then, the meeting room's door shattered, and the Lion-man Philis, carrying a giant sword, roared as she entered. She waved at the meeting room and then shouted,
"Philis is here. Everyone make way!"
"Move your head, make way for the Miss and Clan Chief Dal to get out... Where the hell is Fisher?"
Philis's cool demeanor was interrupted by Heidlin, who was frowning. She had no choice but to slap her head and clear the way while pulling out a pendant that glowed with a deep red light from her bosom,
"Oh, he went down to find Old Ba. But before that, he gave me these magic pendants for protection, look, they seem quite valuable."
Upon hearing this, the previously panicked Valentina's face darkened slightly. She bit her lip and glanced at the magic pendant in Philis's hand, muttering under her breath,
"This guy, I asked him to inscribe magic on it for my protection and he gave it to you first... Where's mine?"
Philis, unsure why her boss suddenly got angry, scratched the back of her head and subconsciously handed over the magic pendant Fisher had given her to Valentina,
"Boss, then take mine."
"No, keep it."
Heidlin couldn't wait for her young mistress's sudden temper to subside. She sighed and quickly pushed Valentina toward the door, with the significantly shorter Snow Fox Species hurrying after them. Before leaving, Heidlin turned to Philis at the doorway and instructed,
"I'm leaving the rear guard to you. Don't stay too long, and retreat with us from the hotel later. Make sure everyone is safe before discussing anything else..."
"Roger!"
After everyone behind her had exited the room, Philis yawned, raised the giant blade in her hand, and pointed it at the flesh tentacles that were relentlessly attacking. The flame magic given to her by Fisher also twinkled with a bright light, that light spreading and quickly igniting her eyes and mane,
"Although I've no idea what you are, just bring it on."
...
...
"What the hell is this thing? It's sealed the hotel's door; we've got to get out!"
"The Miss is still upstairs..."
On the first floor, many maids and staff hurriedly ran down, but they stood bewildered in front of the doors that had been sealed shut by the giant branches, until Balzac, who was staggering with a severed right arm, came down. Their bewilderment eased slightly,
"Move aside, move aside, let me blast the door open with magic. Everyone, step back!"
"Wait, magic? Using it here will affect all of us..."
Just as the people at the door hesitated, a violent tremor suddenly erupted from the depths of the corridor behind them. A Nali, with fiery red eyes, was seen brandishing a Fluid Sword, cutting at the tentacles that were spreading on the ground. Bursts of magical light flickered, making the already fragile walls even more precarious.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
That was Fisher. Even though he was only using stored Low Ring Magic to ensure the building's safety, it was already impressive enough for the servants who were initially panicking,
"No, no, no, just hurry up and blast the door open with magic, please."
"..."
Balzac looked wordlessly at the guy next to him who suddenly changed his mind, then raised the High Ring Magic that Fisher had given him earlier, aimed at the door that was blocked in front. Enduring the severe pain, he activated his magic power, and a giant sword blazing with blinding light instantly appeared in his hands. The people nearby backed away, and Balzac, holding the Light Ring Giant Sword, felt full of strength even with an amputated hand...
Six Ring Halo Magic, Light Ring Giant Sword. As a Schwali, heir to the legacy of Academic Officer, of course, Balzac recognized this magic's purpose.
No wonder the ancient humans could defeat so many powerful demi-humans with magic. This was only Six Ring magic, but it already gave an untrained person considerable killing power.
The magic filled him with immense courage. He yelled and lifted the weapon in his hand, slowly opening a large hole in the tentacles blocking the door, and then, panting, he let go of the magical sword in his hand and shouted to the others behind him,
"Get out quick, cough, cough!"
