Meanwhile, inside the house, the little girl clung tightly to Sam, clearly terrified.
“There, there… Don’t be afraid,” Sam told her. “Even if it doesn’t seem like it, I’m sure Mat will win.”
*Is this… comforting? I don’t know… How do you calm a child in a situation like this?* Samantha thought, struggling with the moment.
Suddenly, the monster broke through the entrance, splintering part of the doorframe as it hunched over to enter the house. Despite ducking down, it still caused damage.
“Huh?” Sam gasped.
“!” The girl remained silent but terrified.
“I’ll go check— Ah!” Pointy exclaimed.
The creature was already inside, peeking through the door of the room.
“W-what?” Pointy stammered. *Agh... I can’t explode in here; I’m inside a house!* Pointy thought.
“Ah!”

Once again, the creature ignored someone. This time, it lunged straight at Samantha and Aelin. Sam stepped in front of Aelin, trying to protect her, but—
“A-Aghhh!”
The creature struck Sam, hurling her into a nearby wall, cracking it. Though it didn’t seem like it at first, one of her ribs was broken. Despite the pain, Samantha’s reflex was to aim at the monster. She knew she had no more shots, but still, she fired.
“Ah!” Sam gasped.
She felt like she had shot something, even though she knew her weapon was empty. The last times she’d tried, she hadn’t been able to fire at all. But this time felt different. She was certain she had shot something.
And then—
“Groackkkk!”
Several stones appeared out of nowhere, crashing into the creature. They avoided hitting the walls as they pummeled the monster, shattering bones and causing it to bleed profusely.
Even so, the creature pushed the stones away and lunged toward the girl, who, for some unknown reason, seemed to be its target.
But then, the girl raised her hand toward the creature, and from her fingertips, small bubbles—about fifteen of them—began to form.
Samantha and Pointy stared in shock.
These tiny bubbles, which appeared harmless, touched the creature and… passed right through it, leaving gaping holes wherever they touched. In fact, they seemed to erase everything in their path. They tore through the creature’s mouth, arms, and part of its face.
The monster let out a howl of agony.
At that moment, Mathias appeared, walking with a pink PSI barrier that took the shape of his body. He was still injured, dragging Roundy with him, though Roundy was unable to heal him because they were both still paralyzed, just like Mat.
“Agh!” Mat groaned, extending his arm toward the creature.
He conjured spikes directly inside the monster’s head, and it exploded.
The moment the creature perished, Mat and Roundy regained the ability to move.

“Huh?” Alaya murmured.
“W-what just happened? They literally destroyed it in an instant…” Eliah muttered. “Ah, right… I knew there was something strange about that girl.”

Afterward, Roundy healed both Mathias and Samantha. They repaired the house and tried to bury the creature’s body, though… while they were digging, its body mysteriously disintegrated, vanishing entirely.
Samantha stayed close to the girl the whole time, as she was still…
