With each finger she moved Sophia was able to make them hover around, rather to be precise they weren't hovering but floating by themselves, which caught Melissa's attention at this moment she could see why she was getting that weird dangerous feeling from Sophia, she must be using multiple symbiote bloodlines she couldn't help but thought to herself as she gulp down the saliva in her mouth, to be honest.
She was now realizing the demon beast wasn't the only dangerous creature she needed to take note of, the little human girl was also a dangerous creature, thankfully she had been able to draw most of her power to Anna's body with that she was confident in being able to survive and if push come to shove she might just sacrifice Anna's body rather than dying there and losing her powers.
"How are we meant to see the demon beast now? Not only is it hiding from above, but it is also too dark which means the demon beast can attack from anywhere."Melissa couldn't help but say out loud, when she said this Sophia glared at her from the corners of her eyes, she would have loved to answer but it would just be wasting of her time, of course, she knew damn well Melissa was lying she was definitely up to something.
It could be that she wanted her to lower her guard by bringing up such a lame ass excuse, even before they came to this very place Anna had once told her she could see in the dark, and with Melissa taking over Anna's body completely, most of her powers had been transferred to the body which meant there was no way she wouldn't be able to see where the demon beast was at.
Most importantly, she didn't like anyone referring to Bernard as a demon beast, especially when it was coming from a demon beast.
"I have no time to play games," Sophia said calmly, as she said that she gradually closed her eyes when Melissa saw this she couldn't help but wonder if Sophia had hurt her head somewhere, after all, it was nothing but suicidal for someone to close their eyes when fighting a powerful demon beast unless they were looking to die.
And just as she was wondering what she was up to, when she noticed the dangerous feeling she was getting from Sophia had suddenly increased, she had no idea what was happening but she was sure Sophia had gotten serious.
As Sophia closed her eyes.
She was waiting for Bernard in his abomination form, the reason she was doing this was to use herself as both a bait and to also increase her concentration and focus since she couldn't see him properly she decided to heighten her senses in order to use her perception in detecting him.
One second had quickly gone by, yet nothing happened the place was as tensed and deadly pale as it was, however, she didn't give up eventually thirty seconds soon passed, and just when she thought, she needed to attack first that was when she heard a sound from above her head, as soon she heard the sound, she immediately move several of her singers sending multiple metals towards his direction, at the same Melissa also released thick strings towards the demon beast in order to restraint its movement.
However, as the strings were about to wrap around the demon beast, it suddenly opened its mouth wide spread, as it did this suddenly something unexpected happened a little fiery flame began to gather inside of its mouth.
At first, the fire seemed like it would only need a slight breeze to blow it off but then it quickly began to increase, turning into a round sphere that was bigger than an adult fist, and when it was closed to a ball size, the demon beast suddenly turn to face the incoming strings and fired it towards Melissa.
When Melissa saw the fiery sphere, that was coming towards her she couldn't help but have a very bad feeling about it however, she couldn't easily dodge it since it was already close to her, so she decided to make a thick net from her strings, but then as soon as her net came into contact with fiery fire sphere it suddenly exploded, sending her flying backward as she let out a loud howl in pain.
She was now aware of how powerful the sphere was, unfortunately, she didn't realize this quickly and had to pay the price of being burnt, even though she tried to ignore the pain she couldn't, not only was her body caught on fire but it felt like someone had poured acidic poison all over her body.
However, with the fiery fire bomb, it had just released its back was left wide open, and at the same time it had also fallen from the ceiling which made it defenseless in the air, at this moment Sophia suddenly sprang her eyes opened and just as the Bernard was about to gather another fiery firebomb in his mouth, she fired off the first metal shard at him disrupting his action, and making him focus his attention from Melissa to her.
As she looked at Bernard in his abomination form, she wasn't seeing him as if he was some wild demon beast she was fighting rather she was imagining Bernard to be his normal self fighting her seriously, to her this would be the first time she was fighting Bernard so she wanted to give it everything she got, even if he might not recall what happened later on.
However, what she didn't expect was for him to suddenly spun himself in the air nimbly without much effort and then grabbed the metal shard, and then threw it back at her with a much more incredible speed, when she saw this she couldn't help but smirk although she knew the fight wouldn't be easy, at the same time she wasn't expecting such a quick reaction from him, nevertheless.
She wasn't done because she still had more metal shards, the moment she noticed the shard was already coming close to her she moved the other of her fingers sending several strings to attach themselves to anything that was around her, and then throw all of them at the shard flying towards her, as she was arranging them in front of her.
She suddenly felt a tremor run through her fingers, as she raised her head up she could see something unexpected, the metal shard Bernard had thrown at her had not only pierced through the metals she had used as a shield.
But it had managed to almost pierce through all of them, with just the last one remaining in front of her but with a slight then that could be visibly seen, a beautiful smile appeared on her expression as she grinned to herself.
However, she had already prepared her mind for this to happen, if Bernard could easily be defeated then he wouldn't be her Bernard in the first, so she simply gathered more metals with the strings flowing out of her fingertips, since she knew sending them at him directly was as good as useless, she decided to attach them to something instead, that way they would prove to be more useful.
