The one who severed the tentacles wrapped around Bella and carried her over to Feng Chen was Asuna, the vice guild leader of the Blood Oath Knights, whom Feng Chen had deliberately distanced himself from for certain reasons.
"How did you..."
I clearly wasn't supposed to have anything to do with Asuna, was I?
"I don't know what happened either. I just wanted to reach out and grab the last of the effect light. I never expected to be teleported here together with you."
They had barely had time to talk before the BOSS began its second assault.
The tentacles wrapped around its entire body, leaving only a single gap—probably left by the BOSS so it could see its target clearly.

"The World!"
