面對席捲而來的蟲潮，韓寧公主也用手上的法杖施展起了『驅蟲術』的法術，將無數的蟑螂軀離身邊
在兩位正副隊長身後，是派緹與伊芙娜這兩位弓箭手，步伐比不上戰士們那麼厚重，但卻異常輕快敏捷。她們手中的長弓隨時待發，目光不停地掃視階梯兩側的岩壁，像兩隻警覺的獵貓，隨時準備張弓射出致命一箭。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGhiWhPlJu
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9KjuU3f5
再後方，是伊莉莎與韓寧兩位公主，一藍一白的斗篷在這陰暗的環境中成了唯一的柔光，彷彿象徵著某種尚未熄滅的希望與人性的溫暖。兩人並不顯得驚慌，反而顯得從容，那是貴族從小養成的氣度，也是一路走來千錘百鍊出的膽識。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5WawIBAKS
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q083zcvjC
最後殿後的，是艾利歐特與塔庫魯。艾利歐特一手握著馴獸師之鞭，一手按在腰間短刃上，臉色沉靜如水。而塔庫魯則是一臉淡然地掃視後方與天花板，不疾不徐地走著，彷彿這黑暗階梯對他而言只是再普通不過的一場散步。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1NUCQSs1T
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYspcj9G7B
但這份寧靜，很快被從上方傳來的聲音打破。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU0Eb9XbOw
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJplnj2O8hN
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKFkYIMFNm
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TMH7E7iwf
那是一種模糊的「沙沙」聲，起初像風聲，但隨著高度上升，那聲音越來越清晰，像是——什麼東西在地面摩擦，或者……成千上萬的細小東西在移動。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvlLlxEYBw
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylpezdFsaJ
夸斯特與泰倫斯停下了腳步。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XVKVkN9JC
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZliN11f3t
一瞬間，所有人也都跟著停了下來。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbhJ1eSXX5
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xf7NOpZl0
空氣凝結，腳步聲消失，剩下的只有那詭異的沙沙聲，自階梯之巔緩緩落下，像從天花板流淌的蟻群，又像什麼正在甦醒。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZIQJkukU
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92BxNvXFXa
幾人互望一眼，誰也沒有開口，因為他們都在對方的眼裡看見了相同的東西：困惑、不安、還有一絲……不易察覺的恐懼。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7xSbvjqf1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEWe8VlnA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1J4QpivUk
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuokQ4CGk6
「這聲音……不對勁。」泰倫斯低聲道，聲音壓得很低，就像生怕驚動了什麼。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQUXOqqkC
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GuZzHVj6M
派緹握緊了手中的弓，眼神警覺地望向階梯上方：「感覺像……沙子？還是蟲子？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiztI39HOEo
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLySVuS3HDg
「也可能是魔獸。」艾利歐特沉聲補充，聲音像皮革摩擦般乾澀冷靜。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ehlgw6St
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL2A7WIgBn
塔庫魯心裡一沉，腦中浮現出先前主機說過的話——「戰鬥才是提升的最快方式。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2AbPGe8uq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxERQdfJ8o
如果那沙沙聲的盡頭，就是下一場戰鬥的起點，那他已經準備好了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemOEJJcuM6
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJFb0X5852
「別想太多了，」夸斯特握緊手中的破魔寶劍，回頭看了一眼大家，嘴角浮起一絲笑意，「走上去，總比站在原地等死來得有尊嚴。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi2m1oZU6X
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2oBEwp75J
泰倫斯點了點頭，舉起盾牌，跟著往上。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq6G8erOqH
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9LstWFSX
每一步，都像踩在命運的刀鋒上。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LlsMOdWOy
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcCG6GB75Q
而那從上方流瀉下來的沙沙聲音，似乎也在悄悄逼近……像某種等待已久的古老機關，終於，快要甦醒了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgJBoSiNqo
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj99Wh6nG7
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGBmGuNFCn
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71HUi8SQzI
當夸斯特和泰倫斯終於踏上最後一階、視野得以越過石階頂端的那一刻——他們同時停下了腳步。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan1h3ZlroZ
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡateVdMuzVQ
兩名久經戰陣的戰士，平日面對惡龍、異獸、甚至鬼魂都面不改色，但此刻，他們的臉色卻同時變得慘白，雙眼睜大、嘴角抽動，那不是恐懼，而是深植於人類靈魂深處、對「某種東西」本能性的厭惡與反感。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSyc5qWeaf
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbvOiK570
「該死……」泰倫斯喉嚨裡擠出兩個字，聲音沙啞。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkV4wU3dQT
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZwIX7D92Q
夸斯特咬緊牙關，嘴角抽搐地補了一句：「我寧願面對整窩地獄犬……」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxBWLNRc9T
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp4CroUFEY
眼前的平台幾乎有一個足球場那麼大，照理說應該是一處古老的廣場，地板上刻著淡淡的古老花紋。但如今——整個平台全被黑壓壓的、油亮發光的蟲子給吞沒了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi10W0Euxhz
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw3C9i3WEq
是蟑螂。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBF7ne6FEh
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5N6sXcDvk
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSPR1ASfoA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhjHSnTw8E
成千上萬，數以萬計，牠們密密麻麻地爬行、堆疊、蠕動，宛如一張由地獄編織出來的活毯，在平台上蠕動成波浪，聲音便是他們的爪足與翅膀摩擦地面的「沙沙」聲——剛才在階梯上聽見的，就是這該死的聲音！224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CHfaWYFi
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXiggUO0sI
所幸，在階梯與平台的交界處，鑲嵌著一道泛著銀光的符文線。這道線像是某種結界，讓所有蟑螂不敢越雷池一步，牠們逼近時還會立刻退縮，彷彿那是火焰，而牠們是怕熱的乾草。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0vhHRkopS
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSN6azIPY9
「我們如果沒有這道符文線……早就被牠們淹沒了，」夸斯特低聲說道，聲音中透著難以掩飾的顫抖。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXIAzd26iB
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICD3N6lJAW
就在此時，後方四位女性也探頭看了過來。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLkfrOYL0V
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtfGMofBR
派緹和伊芙娜同時發出一聲低呼，不自覺地後退半步；而兩位公主——伊莉莎與韓寧，也都皺起了眉頭，韓寧更是捂住了嘴巴，像是要忍住嘔吐。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6wgBPohkq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEcUZrKtnu
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17oiq7Eap
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaaJV4nxlH
但，這還不是最糟的。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N2FELEFia
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9VV7E0JLm
平台上那些蟑螂開始異動了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABUSZgMoG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbfKjjt0Iq
牠們像接收到某種不可抗拒的召喚，紛紛朝中心集結，身體不斷重疊、堆疊、融合。地面之上，漸漸隆起了一座座由蟑螂構成的黑色蟲柱。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiYcMPzJHx
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1hvBoSUNu
一座、兩座、十座……總共三座高大的蟲柱拔地而起，高逾兩公尺，其餘則是二十多個中小型的蟲群堆積而成的怪形，從五十公分到一米多高不等。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZpb1NJnG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTadtn2Q94X
這些由蟑螂組成的「群聚體」，彷彿有了生命似的，開始蠕動、抽搐、變形——224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG3IMIDGp6
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ERcLkdtb
其他群聚體漸漸化為巨型蟑螂，牠們的殼厚如甲胄，雙目泛著病態的黃光，口器不斷開合，發出吱吱吱的低鳴聲。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSquVqaIjY
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz6D0akACW
但那三座最高的群聚體……卻開始出現了更加詭異的變化——牠們變成了人形。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2S87VEQZi
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFsu6jnYR5
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSul9IAYbt
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1zY1ryzvo
「不、不會吧……」韓寧公主忽然倒抽一口冷氣，臉色瞬間變得慘白如紙。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLr7dSG43k
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ286xPXzxfO
「我認得出來……那是——」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KoQ8F8zyJ
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6wTR4fqv
她的聲音微微顫抖，但仍艱難地說出口：224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Y3QoUda3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkqz7DOdQ
「是三名魔化為獸人之王的蟑螂……玉面螂君、極武魔蟑、還有真蟑螂王。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZSpOAd2pd
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTxDAIm4qO
整座階梯的空氣瞬間變得凝重得像要碎裂。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ1VgMQLOP
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHModHIJfdQ
韓寧繼續說，聲音壓得很低：224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7MxqmZJ2E
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKq2QxovnX
「真蟑螂王……是傳說中最接近『魔』的存在之一。他的智慧與力量早已超越普通魔獸，是整片光牆外曾經最讓人恐懼的災厄之一……」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMk28fS6bl
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9uIyqg5pv
伊芙娜眉頭一鎖：「我們……現在要怎麼辦？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRacfL6lwq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTqjQKtum
夸斯特望向遠方那些尚未完全成形的蟲怪，緊握破魔寶劍，淡淡地說：224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVuUb2JvbZ
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBrO0MSUFl
「沒得選……這條路，是我們選的。那麼接下來，就只有兩種可能。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuboxm1LOC
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcEHMTVmR1
他頓了頓，目光像利刃般掃過整個平台。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3ZVjVInc
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF8W17Akdn
「要嘛，是我們活著從這裡離開。要嘛……我們成為他們的新建材。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzfLPtpXG3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLhEV1GTz1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvBzyMAUe
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfgrp6J0e
階梯旁，銀藍色的符文隱隱閃爍著微光，彷彿隨時都可能熄滅，但伊莉莎公主定睛一看後，神色一鬆，微微點頭。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvNbntQiRj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTZQKVv2t
「是『驅蟲咒』——」她的聲音清亮，卻帶著從容的堅定，「雖然只是個低階法術，但對這種腦袋簡單的蟲子，應該還有效。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPEXV735Oq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dSp7SeaY
她回頭看向身旁的韓寧，眼神中流露出一絲默契與信賴。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs7MdxP8yC
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmyipeknxc
「韓寧，我們各站一側，用咒語延續符文效力。只要這防線還在，弓箭手就能放心攻擊，不必擔心這些東西爬上來。」她說話的語氣就像是在王宮裡佈局一場宴會，而不是在地獄門前排兵布陣。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrsfypaPlm
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72mfX456RV
韓寧公主輕輕點頭，眼中閃爍著魔力的火光：「明白了，姐姐。我來從右側應援。」
