While everyone else was able to avoid the tentacles, Finn, being unable to see, had no time to react just by sound alone, given how fast they were.
"Gah…!" Finn coughed out blood as the tentacle pierced straight through his human flesh, straight in the stomach. He tried to move his hands and pull it out, but in his current state, the tentacle was far too strong.
[Tch… this isn't good… I can't save you, my power hasn't been restored enough yet…] Zelestria muttered impatiently, unable to do a thing.
'Is this how it ends?' Finn thought as time seemed to slow down around him. 'Being blind… is truly a catastrophe.'
[Hang in there, Finn!] Zelestria cried, voice strained with emotion. [I can't fully save you, but I can prolong your life by a little bit…!]
Just as his consciousness began fading away, Finn felt it coming back to him. It still wasn't enough to provide him with the strength to push the tentacle away, but it would keep him alive — for now.
