Qasim looked indifferently at the figure who was hugging him and moving backwards.

Apply slight force on your feet.

Bang!

The two figures stood still.

No matter how hard Xiao Qian tried, she couldn't move him any further.

"Have you had enough fun?"

"Grisha, run away!"

Xiao Qian shouted loudly,

"I'll hold him back—!"

"Oh... is that so?"

Qasim sighed slowly.

"I originally wanted to keep you and observe you for a while."

Sizzle!

Black spikes pierced the girl's chest.

“Akane-chan—!!?”

Grisha's exclamation came from a distance.

“Cough… cough cough…”

The girl slowly fell to the ground.

The light in the pupils began to fade, and the crimson liquid spread on the ground.

Cassim patted his slightly wrinkled clothes, without even looking at Xiao Qian at his feet, and walked towards Grisha again.

Bang!

But then a hand grabbed his ankle.

“… …”

Qasim stopped and looked back at the girl.

"...You are truly tenacious."

He raised his hand.

Black spikes condensed and took shape in the air.

"Stop! Stop it now! Don't hurt Xiao Qian!"

Grisha shouted in despair.

Boom——!!!

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the space above.

"Oh no, the experimental subject escaped..."

Faintly, one could hear someone exclaiming.

Qasim frowned and looked upwards.

The next moment.

boom--!

The dome suddenly shattered.

A giant beast covered in pitch black jumped down from the broken dome.

"roar--!!!"

It roared and then charged straight towards Grisha below.

"Oh~?"

Qasim narrowed his eyes.

"Interesting, you can actually escape? But—"

The large number of black spikes that were originally aimed at Xiao Qian turned around and aimed at the intruding giant beast.

“—You’re still too young!”

Just as the attack was about to be launched,

A figure rushed out and blocked his way.

"Do you really want to die?"

Qasim said coldly.

However, Xiao Qian who was standing in front of him did not evade.

He just said slowly in a weak voice:

“…Run away…”

“… …”

Qasim looked at her indifferently.

"good."

"Then you go die first."

Then he waved his right hand.

Sizzle!

Countless black spikes instantly pierced Xiao Qian's body.

"No--!!!!"
