What Anna didn't know was her eyes had slightly turned pitch black like a Witcher, when the demon beasts that were surrounding them saw this they couldn't help but quiver however, they couldn't back down because it was the same the king of demon beasts that sent them there as well. Sophia and Anna noticed all around them, even on top of the ceilings, besides the walls, and on the floor where multiple lizard-like creatures everywhere.
However, to normal lizards these ones in front of them looked even more hideous and disgusting to look at, they had eyes protruding several feet from their eyes socket seemingly like a selfie stick, not only that but they also had extra limbs and slime constantly dripping down from their bodies as if they had just crawled out of their mother's womb.
When Anna saw them, she was about to freak out and question Sophia about why she didn't keep a lookout properly when she remembered it wasn't her fault but hers instead so she tried to calm down as she took in several mouthfuls of fresh air to calm her nerves down, Sophia also noticed the slight change in Anna's personality but she didn't say anything, even herself hadn't noticed anything earlier not that she didn't want to but at that moment she was a little distracted in deep thoughts about Bernard.
Otherwise, she was sure she would have been able to sense the demon beasts even if they could hide their presence. Looking at how they were able to scale up the sides of the walls so well and even hanging up from the ceiling upside down, it was as if they had been attached to the walls.
They could tell just by looking that they were totally surrounded not just from the ground but also above them, and below them as well as if the demon beasts had been given an order some of them began to fall down from above one after the other, while those on the ground began to crawl towards them on all fours at full speed.
There were too many attacking at once that both Sophia and Anna felt that if they fought them as they came, they wouldn't last much before they become completely exhausted, at this point Sophia was already thinking of escaping on her own, she felt that staying there any longer with Anna might likely attract more demon beasts, this wasn't just a baseless thought because she could sense it according to her instincts, which never lies to her.
But then she couldn't outright just do it like, she had to look for an opportunity otherwise she also attract more demon beasts when she eventually got out from their encirclement, just as she was about to make her move that was when Anna suddenly lifted her both her hands up, with her palms spread wide open.
As if a barrier had been released thousands of near-invisible strings could be seen, they were spider webs the moment they came out of her hands they began to attach themselves to different things, suddenly the place began to vibrate as if something huge was being pulled out when the demon beasts saw what was happening they suddenly paused before they became more frenzy and rushed towards them, even more, faster than before.
Gradually out of nowhere different objects like broken shelves, books, and even metal shards, and scraps came all over and began to throw themselves at the demon beasts stopping them from advancing any further, however, this barely lasted a second before they acted even more frenzy as they began to claw at the objects coming at them from all over, while some were using their claws somewhere instead making use of their jaws to rip apart what was being thrown at them.
However, Anna wasn't worried because she wasn't planning on fighting all of them in the first place rather she was just trying to stall for time in order to be able to do this, "Hey Sophia stick closer to me so you wouldn't get hurt."
Anna shouted out those words and looked over at Sophia, when she heard what Anna said she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly but didn't say anything and simply moved over sticking close to Anna, but at the same time also channeling her bloodline to the maximum just in case she noticed anything unusual she would use her bloodline without thinking twice even if she would pay a heavy price of her bloodline grade regressing further, but it was better than trusting Anna, especially with her life on the light.
The moment she got close enough to Anna as if she was the person she was waiting for before she carried out her plan, Anna forcefully pulled back her hands and crossed them against each other in front of her chest.
In the next moment pieces of metal, that her strings had attached to them from over the library began to move, and even so from outside the library began to move towards the two of them at an incredible speed, at the same time for those demon beasts that were unlucky they had their head split into two as the metal shards struck them from behind while for those that were less unlucky their eyes were simply sliced off by the force of the metal shards flying all over the place.
This kept on going for a while, however, Anna wasn't intentionally doing but was the aftereffect of what she had in mind because it didn't take long for the metal shard flying all over to stop moving.
In front of the demon beasts, they could now see a huge metal ball however this huge metal ball had been formed from all the metal scraps and shards that had been flying all over the place, at this moment it had completely sealed both Anna and Sophia inside of it.
When the beast saw this they had a slight look of confusion on their face, at this moment they didn't understand if they should continue attacking or they should just mind their business and go back to their various territories as they had come.
But then just as one of them was about to start leaving, they noticed nothing happened making all of them surprise as they wondered if the king of demon beasts had decided to stop it siege, however at the same time they knew it wasn't likely they could tell its was just observing, not only that the king of demon beast they knew wouldn't do something as leaving his prey to run amuck.
So they were sure the demon beast that was about to leave would definitely regret its action, and just as they thought the moment the demon beast happily stepped foot outside of the room, its body began to swell and exploded like a huge balloon that had been pierced with a sharp object.
