Countless black tentacles burst from every direction.
They surged toward me like living spears, twisting and writhing with terrifying speed.
"Damn!"
I shifted my footing without hesitation and swung my sword.
"Lightning Slash!"
Mana surged through the blade, and a brilliant arc of electricity burst forward, carving a path through the writhing mass of tentacles.
Without stopping, I sprinted straight toward him.
For a brief moment, I thought I had an opening.
Then dozens of tentacles erupted from the ground.
"Tch!"
I immediately changed direction.
BOOM!
The spot where I'd been standing exploded a heartbeat later, stone and debris flying in every direction.
I clicked my tongue and raised my sword again.
Using Furion's ability, I intercepted the tentacles rushing toward me, slicing them apart one after another.
One.
Five.
Ten.
Twenty.
No matter how many I cut down, it didn't matter.
