While the two of them were chatting...
Lan Qingyou saw the Rune Air Cannonballs Alisa had fired slam into Kesuya one after another.
The Rune Shells then blasted Kesuya's tentacles clean off.
Even those that had not been severed outright were left dangling, swaying like candles guttering in the wind.
One look was enough to tell just how powerful those Rune Shells were.
She had to admit it.
When it came to Runes, Alisa was the best practitioner she had ever seen apart from [The Sun], Ingrid.
Even she and Ruan Qingyi could only be considered barely proficient.
Reaching either of those two women's level was completely out of the question.
"Enough chatting. I'm going to collect my haul."
Alisa knew exactly how powerful her Rune Cannon was.
So after firing a volley, she immediately put away the Rocket Launcher.
Then she raised a hand to wave at Lan Qingyou before eagerly rushing toward the sea.
"Mm... go ahead, but watch out for its Mental Attack!"
Lan Qingyou nodded, then spoke quietly.
Whether Alisa could hear her over the roaring waves was another matter.
In any case, she had given her a warning.
As far as Lan Qingyou was concerned, Alisa was bound to run into some sort of trouble by charging in like that.
After all, its beard alone had been enough to drag her into an illusion.
If the overwhelming pressure from Gross, that Star Beast, had not been there back then...
And killed the beard outright...
She might really have fallen victim to it.
It was not that she would have been unable to escape.
But even if she could escape that illusion, she would certainly have paid a tremendous price.
If a tuft of beard could do that, surely the Mental Attack from the whole thing
