Armin was forced forward by a tornado that began to emerge from his mouth. The tornado was accompanied by white flashes.
When Armin turned his head, he noticed Sharon rubbing the deep scrapes and bruises that had appeared on his back.
While he was turning his body to cover himself from the white flashes that were penetrating deeper and deeper into his leather breastplate, they were also burning and cutting both his uniform and his skin. He managed to plant the spear firmly on the ground while he was simultaneously trying to cover himself.
Armin was so focused on what he was doing that he failed to see that Nicolas was still conscious and that he was holding a thin and small blue arrow in his hand.
Armin, who had lost his balance as a result of being shot in the knee by an arrow fired swiftly by Nicolas, collided with a tree.
Letting out a cry of pain, Nicolas stood up and, taking the bow from him again, he saw Brian fight the beast, and with a smile, he shouted, "Now Eric is the time!!"
Eric was unable to approach much closer because a reddish-copper flash ripped through the air, but he still aimed his weapon and prepared to fire from that distance.
A bright green flare flew through the air from the top of a tree on the right side of the path as Nicolas knelt down and began to walk gently under cover of the woods.
Sharon took a gunshot to the jaw from Rebeca's gun. After entering Sharon's left cheek, where it shattered teeth and flesh, the bullet exited her through the right side of her jaw where it had entered.
Sharon snapped out of her stupor by letting out a painful scream, and the piercing bolts of light no longer emerged from her mouth.
She simply emerged covered in blood and wailing in indescribable agony. The young child curled up into the fetal position as she wailed and cried out while her parents desperately tried to stop the bleeding by holding her face with both hands.
Armin, who was successful in maintaining his consciousness by the use of all of his willpower, was able to observe Eric as he raised his blunderbuss and started loading a new shot.
Armin stood up as soon as he heard a deafening ringing in his ears and dashed into the darkness of the forest, jumping in front of the cannon as it was being fired.
Nicolas, who was hidden in the shadows, was in the process of making another arrow about the size of a harpoon.
Pointing to the fight with the beast while he smiled. He could see a flash of copper that passed and grazed his shoulder, producing a deep cut, deflecting the trajectory a little, but...
Eric's shot hit Armin squarely, stopping the ball of energy with his shield and spear.
At the same time that the shield was absorbing the energy, the spear was igniting and melting, and it was emitting fiery slingshots that were covered in orange flashes.
Armin's shield absorbed all of the energy that was released when the spear snapped and went flying, transforming it into a cloud of white smoke energy that completely covered the grove.
Armin was thrown to the ground, where he landed on his back and watched as the white smoke and something bright that had fired his shield was cut by a large blue harpoon that traveled through the air while making a loud whistling sound.
Seeing where he was going to land, Armin spent the last of his strength turning onto his back and raising a hand as he yelled, "No…!!"
Hearing a loud explosion and pleased with his shot, Nicolas turned to see his group covered in glowing smoke.
Eric was lifting Sharon by holding her shoulders. With a big smile, Nicolas got up from the ground and said, "We're leaving."
The gleam in Nicolas's pale blue eyes made him look paler, and his legs were trembling, his skin and lips as white as the moon as he walked clumsily, holding Eric.

Neferet fixed her gaze on Brian, and the intensity of her feelings made her feel as though her flame was going to burst.
She screamed, "Brian, you and me against the beast!! Rebeca supports Armin and the other shooter against the other group!! Armin, you take care of that group!!"
Taking a breath for a few seconds as she came out of hiding with her flames wrapped in the thin flaming bandage, she yelled again, "Protect Brian's back!!"
Brian cocked his head to the side to look at Armin, who was lying on the ground, and then nodded.
And he turned around to gaze at the beast that was hidden in the darkness, and he started to squirm his way down the path in an effort to get to the grove.
Brian leaped forward while keeping the spear at his waist and aimed at one of the creature's arms.
He struck the bottom part of the beast's shoulder while the spear was still in his grasp.
Before taking a step in the opposite direction, Brian hacked at it horizontally.
The beast let out a tremendous roar before leaping into the air while flailing its arms about.
The beast gently raised himself up on his paws and peered at Brian.
The beast drove itself by pushing its arms back and thrusting its hind legs, leaping with its mouth wide open in the direction of Brian.
It did this by pointing its forelegs forward and opening the massive mouth on its abdomen.
After taking a few steps back, Brian slashed the air with his spear in a horizontal motion.
