"What was that? An octopus?"
"It looks a bit like that thing from the fiftieth floor."
Until now, the four members of Loki Familia who had been facing the army of man-eating flowers in town looked at the roaring monster in the distance, unable to hide their surprise.
Just as Tiona had said, the monster's appearance greatly resembled that of an octopus.
The dozen or so tentacles on its body had transformed from man-eating flower monsters. Each one seemed to possess its own will, waving about randomly in midair.
Its upper body, meanwhile, resembled that of a woman.
Its appearance was incredibly similar to the monster they had encountered on the fiftieth floor—the one Shirou Emiya had pierced through with countless swords.
The only difference was that the former had been a caterpillar below the waist, while this one was an octopus.
As the monster's upper body stopped trembling, it slowly raised its blank face. Then it began moving toward the Crystal Plaza.
"There shouldn't be any other monsters around here, right?"
"Then we're heading over there!"
With that, Tiona and Tione charged toward the female-bodied monster.
Finn and Riveria followed close behind.
After all, the army of man-eating flowers in the town had been almost completely wiped out by Riveria's earlier magic. The few remaining ones were no match for the adventurers of Riviera Town.
They now needed to hurry to where Ais was and deal with that monster.
Landing lightly on the rock wall, Shirou Emiya placed Lefia and Rurune in a safe location before beginning to observe the newly appeared monster.
Unlike the monster Shirou Emiya had once pierced through with countless swords, this monster was larger and possessed far greater defensive power.
After all, the monsters they had merged with were originally on completely different levels.
