Lidia braced herself, creating a dome of mana around her, shielding herself with a body barrier of fire, and activating her nanotech armor.
Judging by the speed, weight, and strength of the fleshtopus, she knew a few bones would be broken, but that was better than losing her life or suffering severe injuries.
Aurora and Alice also tried to help her, but even with their fast casting speed, they wouldn't make it in time.
Just as the tentacle was about to crush Lidia, a blinding dark-blue light pierced right through the fleshtopus and blew it up from the inside. Blue flames engulfed the monstrosity, burning it to ashes.
"What the fuck was that?" Lidia wondered, preparing herself in case the person was an enemy.
Aurora's eyes widened. "Is that..."
Alice's face scrunched in anger. "A demon!" Without wasting a second thought, she rushed forward, creating two blood swords in her hands.
