When the creature saw the blood that was dropping from Anna's hands to the ground, it couldn't help but pause its action for a moment and then stare at the blood with a look of deep curiosity, it couldn't help but sniff in the smell of the blood that could detected in the air when it did as if realization had finally dawned on it, it let out a loud screeching sound out of its mouth.
At this moment not only had the creature realized what it had been looking for it had also realized what could stop the unbearable pain ravaging deep within its stomach.
The creature opened its mouth revealing its sharp fangs and bared them at both Sophia and Anna, before immediately launching itself at Anna, making its bones move unevenly nevertheless the creature didn't seem to mind rather it even seemed like it became much faster than before, activating all its strength the creature could see different panels being displayed in front of it, however, it simply ignored them and swipe it claws down at Anna once again.
As Anna saw this she couldn't help but become tensed but then when she remembered she now had the power of a rank 6 symbiote user, she immediately became confident once more rather than trying to run away she was eager to test out her new strength against the creature in front of her.
And by using all her strength she was able to not only avoid the demon beast's attack but also push it back since she noticed the demon beast was wary of her strings she tried to use them as much as she could to her own advantage.
At first, she was having difficulties due to the sudden advancement from rank 2 to rank 6, but as she went on she began to have the hang of it, Anna had a big grin on her expression and compared to her previous thoughts she realize she didn't really need to put in as much effort as she thought she would when trying to use her new powers it was just as if the powers originally belongs to her, but was just recovering them.
When she thought she had finally gotten the hang of her new powers, she suddenly opened both her palms and spread her fingers towards the demon beast at this moment she was confident she could trap him, considering how strong the strings she could now produce were, however, the moment the strings left her fingertips and shot straight at the demon beast something that she didn't expect happened.
The demon beast suddenly began to wave its claws wildly, when she saw what the demon beast was doing this Anna thought this was just its last attempt at struggling for survival, but then she soon realize that wasn't the case the moment she decided to pull back the strings she had used in wrapping around the demon beast that was when she realized she had lost connections with those set of strings in fact all the strings she had thought she used on the demon beast had been completely lost.
Just as she was in shock and was wondering how the demon beast had managed to cut the strings without her even knowing, she suddenly realize she couldn't sense the demon beast in front of her anymore, as she looked at her back from the corners of her eyes she immediately felt chills ran down her spine, at this moment she could see the demon beast with it gem like crimson eyes appear behind her its cold and chilling gaze which had no emotions told her that her life was in fucking danger.
Exacting all her strength she tried to dodge but she was several seconds too late because the demon beast had already swiped its claw at her, from the side it slammed her towards a nearby wall, causing Anna to choke on her blood.
Although Anna was injured she felt rather excited, as her three pairs of dark eyes squinted a couple of times she couldn't help but think of the demon beast she was currently fighting as a great practice partner, at the same time she lowered her head to look at her stomach she could see a big claw mark but it had no blood due to her now being a rank 6 the few moments she was out of battle had managed to heal her body.
Again she noticed the demon beast hadn't given up and had already started to run towards her but this time she was much more prepared compared to before, the moment the demon beast was about to reach her she suddenly spread her out arms as if she was expecting a welcoming hug from the demon beast, however, as the demon beast got close heavy metal tables came flying out of nowhere and slammed the demon beast away.
Sophia, who had been standing far away, could be seen walking towards Anna she couldn't help but look at the place Bernard had been slammed into, and wondered if the reason why Bernard in his abomination form hadn't attacked her yet was that it felt a sense of familiarity from her.
Or was it because it thought of Anna as a greater obstacle than her that was why its kept attacking Anna, she would have loved to believe it was the former but then considering the current state Bernard was in she thought it was more likely the latter, nevertheless, that wasn't what was important to her, what was importable to her was finding out what really happened to him and how she could help him return to his normal self before it was too late.
She could already tell Anna was gradually losing herself and was letting the demon beast gain more control subconsciously to her, and if the demon beast was to take full control over Anna things would definitely become even more difficult than it already was, what's more in the current state she was in Sophia knew she wouldn't be able to take care of Anna and still do the same to Bernard as well.
That means she only had one chance to bring Anna down and if she was to miss then her life would be in danger, and as it was just letting both Anna and Bernard in his abomination form go at each other wouldn't do anything or even help Bernard out of his current predicament.
When Sophia got to Anna, she gave Anna help in lifting herself off the ground as Anna saw her the excitement that had been brewing inside of her calm down, as if clarity had dawned upon her.
