As the massive expanse of blue water came into view, the first things Elion noticed were the dozens of dark, gelatinous tentacles slowly emerging from the lake.
He kept running, his gaze quickly finding Yaana, who was hacking at one of the larger tentacles with her scythe, dodging and jumping around to the best of her ability to make sure none of them caught her.
Mayumi was doing something similar, though the tentacle she was trying to chop off was wrapped around a half-naked Maya, holding her in the air while she wore nothing but her wet undergarments.
Then Elion spotted Nora, who was also struggling to wrench herself free from a slimy tentacle wrapped around her body.
Whatever creature was responsible had yet to reveal its whole body, and it must have possessed some impressive concealment abilities.
After all, Elion had checked the surface of the lake earlier, and he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
