Many tentacles could be seen impaling a lone man in the chaotic darkness. Nearby, another appendage was holding the medallion it had just stolen from him.
The little girl on the side witnessed the monster focus on the man as she slowly prepared to help. Her mana was low, and she didn't know the victim, but she would do all she could to thwart the plans of the evil monster.
But, just as she was ready to make her move, the darkness suddenly trembled, all of it! She couldn't help but shiver as her eyes darted from side to side, searching for danger. Wait, the disturbance was coming from the sleeping man! What?!
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, ones that were so brilliant that they blinded her...literally! They glowed red as they illuminated the surroundings with a bloody aura. Making a claw with his hand, he struck!
She recoiled in surprise. What was he doing?! His extended arm grabbed straight at the nearby medallion confidently.
