She didn't want to see Mono get hurt.
However, Sixth Master's foot had just moved when, the next moment,
"Clang-dang~"
The sound of clashing caused by the shaking of an iron chain rang out.
Then, the movement of the Ceramic Figurine, which had been descending towards Mono, paused in mid-air.
After which, constrained by the opposing force, it was pulled back and fell backwards.
"Peng~"
The Ceramic Figurine fell heavily to the ground.
One of its ceramic fingers was shattered and flew off, rolling on the ground a few times, emitting a few crisp clinking sounds.
The iron chain tied around its neck had been pulled taut, which was why it had been yanked back and fallen.
The Ceramic Figurine didn't cry out; it didn't have that function.
Silently struggling, it was about to get up again.
Mono looked calmly at the Ceramic Figurine before him.
He had already calculated the distance; otherwise, he would have swung his hammer long ago. How could he possibly have stood there waiting for it to jump?
As for why he didn't attack...
That was because he just wanted to take this opportunity to observe.
These strange existences.
What kind of energy do they rely on for propulsion?
Their insides are completely empty, yet they possess strength and mobility greater than an ordinary person's.
Could it be that discarding the brain makes one even stronger?
However, before Mono could think further, a figure suddenly leaped out from behind him.
In an instant, it passed his position.
Mono opened his eyes wide and realized it was his teammate.
"Hey, Sam, what are you trying to do?"
He quickly called out.
Sam, however, turned a deaf ear to Mono's words.
Her movements were swift.
With one leap, she flashed in front of the Ceramic Figurine.
Then, her small left hand clenched into a fist.
A dark shadow flashed.
"Peng!"
"Ping~"
The sound of ceramic shattering immediately echoed again in the empty hall.
A head directly cracked and flew off.
"Gulu~"
The round ceramic head rolled on the ground a few times, rolling to a spot beside the recently severed finger.
And the Ceramic Figurine, which had been about to struggle to its feet, after losing its head, fell heavily to the ground once more.
It had lost all its strength.
Sam stood up expressionlessly.
Mono watched everything before him, utterly bewildered.
What the hell was this...?
Sam slowly turned her head: "You're... welcome..."
Mono had been dumbfounded, but upon hearing this, his face flushed bright red.
He roared:
"Welcome? I'll welcome your ancestors!!!"
"Why did you have to kill it?"
"Didn't you see it was already chained to the pillar?"
"And besides, do you really think I couldn't beat a single Ceramic Figurine?"
"If I needed to fight, would I really need help from a little brat like you?"
"Also, didn't I just tell you to stay put in the back? Why do you never listen to me?"
"And another thing..."
Sam lowered her head.
Had she... done something wrong?
Then, seeing Mono's furious expression, she touched the short hair on her head and said unhurriedly:
"I didn't want you to get hurt..."
Mono was choked up.
Looking at Sixth Master, who after speaking just lowered her head and fell silent, he felt frustrated.
He could only say:
"Remember this, from now on, without my say-so, you are not allowed to act!!"
Sixth Master actually cared about him?
What else could he possibly say?
Little Six nodded, yet her expression seemed tinged with a hint of loss.
She didn't feel she had done anything wrong.
Mono glanced again at the ceramic shards on the floor.
That damned Sixth Master—anyone who provokes her truly meets a bad end.
Mono's heart grew uneasy again.
Would Sixth Master continue to care for him like this?
Or was it all just an illusion?
The future remained uncertain!
