Nanoe reacted the fastest, immediately flinging a long bench up to perfectly shield Laura and Jonathan, while she retreated and ducked behind a table.
The wave of fire came 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 moment, 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 time the creature wasn't engulfed by flames. Instead, the fire around it transformed into countless tentacles, stretching out in every direction.
Whoosh!
