Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

"Well……"

Clara's eyebrows twitched and she slowly opened her eyes.

"This...this is-"

Her wine-red eyes trembled twice, and she quickly understood the current situation.

"Did you save me?" Clara's voice was a little weak: "Thank you, Mr. Cloak."

"Squeak!"

The monster's huge pupils shrank slightly, as if it was dissatisfied that Clara was still alive.

Its tentacles flapped at her from all directions at the same time - but Clara didn't need to think about how to dodge, the magic cloak pulled Clara back and forth by itself, and she easily dodged all the tentacles in the air.

The tentacle monster felt that Clara was like a slippery fish, and it was so close to him that it couldn't catch her.

“Wow, that’s amazing—”

Clara couldn't help but sigh.

The tentacle monster seemed a little exasperated - it twisted its huge body, jumped high and smashed towards Clara.

Without any hesitation, the Magic Float Cloak pulled the girl and crawled into the big hole in the floor in the shadow of the approaching monster.

boom--

The wooden board collapsed, and the monster's body fell to the floor below. Clara, carried by the cloak, floated in the air on this floor one step ahead, waiting for the other party.

"Brother An Yi's collection room..." Clara said as she looked at the glass display cases that could be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, a corner of the cloak stretched out and touched Clara's shoulder.

"Hmm? What's wrong Mr. Cloak-"

Clara looked in the direction the corner of the clothes pointed, where the weapons that An Yi had collected from various worlds were placed.

The girl frowned, her eyes looked at the neatly arranged row of weapons, and then at the monster rushing towards her with fangs and claws bared.

"I understand!"

Clara clenched her fists and let the magic cloak float over with her.

A magic circle began to appear in the palm of her hand, and under Clara's control, various weapons broke through the glass cabinet and spread out in circles behind the girl.

The monster's tentacles swept over, and Clara slightly turned the magic circle in her palm, and all kinds of swords and knives rushed forward.

The Undead Slash "Bai Lei" drew a red horizontal slash like an ink painting, cutting off the attacking tentacle.

The monster screamed, and the tentacle's recovery speed was greatly reduced because of the slash.

The Black Dragon Annihilation Sword pulled itself back in mid-air, avoiding the tentacle monster's attack, and then quickly followed up with a slash. After three back and forth movements, it finally cut off the monster's tentacles from top to bottom.

The Moonlight Greatsword, the divine body turned into a sword and flew out, fixing the two tentacles in place.

There is also Kratos's Chaos Blade, the Covenant's Energy Sword, Cloud's Destruction Sword, Link's Master Sword, Arthas's Frostmourne... Clara actually doesn't know how to unleash the true power of these weapons, she just throws them all at once.

The monster's tentacles were broken and regenerated, seemingly able to recover indefinitely, but these weapons' attacks did not give Clara a chance to catch her breath.

The tentacle monster found an opening in Clara's attack and swept its tentacles at her again. Clara frowned slightly and took something out of the counter beside her.

It was a throwing object similar to a dart. On the label under the cabinet, there was a brief introduction written by An Yi: "The Gravity Star that Cooper Pilot gave me."

Without giving it any thought, Clara threw the Gravity Star Dart at the monster's tentacles.

The moment the dart touched the tentacles, the gravity star suddenly burst into a blue light. With the gravity star as the center, the gravity around it was all distorted - the monster's tentacles were forced to change direction, circled in the air, and headed straight for its own big eyes.

"Ka-"

The monster's pupils widened as wide as they could, and at the critical moment it stopped its tentacles in an emergency to avoid blinding itself.

Clara frowned slightly as she watched the monster freeze in place.

She seemed to have thought of something, stared at the monster, and pursed her lips.

"Could it be that……"

Clara closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then took the initiative to walk towards the monster.

The cloak tried to pull Clara back. The girl paused for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke to the cloak:

"Don't worry, Mr. Cloak... I have to get to the bottom of this."

Clara walked up to the monster without fear. The tentacle monster squeaked, then tied Clara up and held her in front of him.

Its single eye was twice as big as Clara's, but Clara just stared at it, with no fear in her burgundy eyes.

Clara was firmly grasped, and the other tentacle was raised high. Clara could not and could not dodge this attack. Judging from the previous strength, Clara would definitely die.

But Clara was not afraid, she just took a deep breath and clenched her fists at the moment when the attack was about to hit.

whoosh-

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and at that moment, the "Tyrant Knife of Thanos" on the counter in the distance suddenly flew over and pierced the monster's eyes.

The tentacle monster focused its attention on the tied-up Clara, so it did not notice the sharp blade flying at it at high speed. If nothing unexpected happened, the butcher knife would be able to directly pierce the monster's eyes.

With a clang, the moment the blade touched the eyeball, the monster disappeared.

Without the restraints of the tentacles, Clara fell from mid-air and sat down on the ground.

She lowered her head, looked at the ground, and spoke slowly.

"Next, you'll appear behind me, right?"

As soon as she finished her words, the shadow of the monster loomed over her from behind.

"……really."

Clara stood up, turned around, and stared at the other person with her wine-red eyes.

"So that's it—I know how to kill you!"

Chapter 5: Forgive Me, Clara (1k)

How would you fight if you have the ability to regenerate infinitely?

It's very simple, just exchange blood with the opponent.

The damage you inflict is not as much as the health I recover, so why should I dodge? Why should I go around in circles using strategies?

Clara's thoughts raced.

Judging from the tentacle monster’s previous performance, no matter how badly injured it was, it could recover in a blink of an eye. There was no reason for it to avoid attacks.

Why does the attack distorted by the "Gravity Star" make it so frightened? There is only one possibility, the "eye" that is about to be hit is its weak point.

To prove this, Clara took the initiative to let herself be captured by the other party, and when the other party attacked her, she attacked the monster's eyes with the weapon left in the room by An Yi.

The result was just as Clara expected. The monster disappeared the moment its eye was attacked and gave up the opportunity to kill Clara.

This approach is completely contrary to the tentacle monster's ability to "regenerate infinitely" - it can obviously rely on its regeneration ability to withstand this attack and directly get rid of itself.

This leaves only one correct guess:

The ability to instantly disappear is not actively triggered, but is passively triggered after the eyes, which are a weak point, are attacked.

The monster's tentacles hit Clara from behind, and the next moment, the magic floating cloak pulled Clara's body and dodged.

"If the eyes are attacked, they will disappear... Is that right?"

Clara frowned.

She wasn't sure whether this guess was correct.

Attack its tentacles first and then the eyeballs? There is a way. There is actually a room in the temple where we can test it out.

"Hey, big guy!"

Clara made a face at the tentacle monster and then stuck out her tongue slightly.

"You can't hit me! You're just a—son of a bitch!"

"Squeak!"

The monster waved its arms and danced, it seemed that it understood Clara's ridicule - how did the creatures in the dark dimension understand human language? Clara was in no mood to think about such questions.

The tentacle monster moved its body and chased after her. With the help of the magic levitation cloak, Clara quickly flew out of the room.

Passing through the gate and moving through the long wooden corridor, the tentacle monster smashed open the wooden doors and used its eight tentacles to support the walls and ceiling of the corridor, following Clara with a full sense of oppression.

The doors marked by An Yi were skipped one by one. A few minutes later, Clara braked in mid-air and grabbed the door frame of a wooden door.

right here--

Clara glanced at the doorplate:

Lemonade swimming pool.

This is where Clara learned to swim before. An Yi added a layer of magic to the infinity pool in the room, allowing the liquid in the pool to be transformed into any substance.

Clara learned to swim here two or three years ago. An Yi taught her personally. I replaced the liquid in the pool with lemon soda and forgot to restore it. I didn't expect that it would still be the same after so long.

Clara turned around to take a look at the tentacle monster that was following her closely, then kicked the door open and went in.

Then there was the sound of the wooden door being broken and wood chips flying everywhere.

The tentacle monster squeaked and watched Clara dive into the pool.

This monster looks like an octopus - although there is probably no octopus in reality that looks so abstract, this still means that it is somewhat related to the octopus, so the monster can also swim. Without thinking, it crashed into the water.

"Hooah——"

Clara turned around and confirmed that the tentacle monster had sunk into the water just like her.

A golden spark portal opened in midair, and Clara emerged from it. She used the hanging ring to quickly move from inside the swimming pool to midair in the room.

She looked down at the pool of lemon soda at her feet and waved her hand to summon a magic circle.

Changed "Lemonade" to "Lava".

A spark warning sign with "Warning" and "Danger" written on it appeared.

"Ignore the reminder and continue changing!" Clara shouted, "Confirm! Confirm! Confirm all!"

Then, golden sparks covered the huge swimming pool from top to bottom. The delicious sweet sodas were instantly replaced, and the churning lava filled every corner of the pool.

"Ka-"

The monster in the swimming pool screamed. Clara endured the heat and looked down at it, staring at the tentacle monster tumbling and twisting in the lava.

Hurry up and use your ability to disappear? Can't you use that ability to appear in other places? That trick can save your life, right?

Clara thought in her mind.

The tentacles were melting, catching fire, and turning into black smoke - one, two, four, eight!

Yes, all the tentacles are burned off, and now you are left with an eyeball, and then you will-

Whoosh!

"It disappeared!" Clara verified her guess: "Sure enough, as long as the eyes are injured, the ability will be passively triggered! It can't actively use this trick!"

Now we just need to figure out what this ability to disappear is all about. Is it invisibility? Or teleportation?

Clara closed her eyes, frowned, and thought for a moment.

No, it's not teleportation... There is a clear time lag between the monster's appearance and its disappearance and then its immediate appearance next to me.

Is it invisibility? Or invisibility plus blur?

Clara suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head, and stretched out her right index and middle fingers.

click-

The space behind her suddenly broke open, and as expected, the monster pounced on Clara from that direction, and as expected, its tentacles that were burned by the magma had healed.

But the monster didn't expect the space to suddenly shatter, like broken glass, and it was trapped in it.

The world suddenly turned upside down, and the monster was inexplicably thrown back in the opposite direction.
