As the tentacles missed their targets, it gave Max and the others sufficient time to escape, allowing them to carry out the next phase which was quite simple.
They jumped... Moving like their lives depended on it... Because it kind of did at this point.
Cedric moved behind them and without pause, spread out his flames, wrapping everyone in them as they were propelled toward the landmass in the distance.
At the same time, the tentacles rose back up, smashing the rock they stood on mere seconds ago.
Laura and co. Shuddered at the thought that it could have been them if they hadn't left.
Thankfully, they had listened to Max's suggestion.
In any case, they still had to hope that they would successfully reach their destination, else, the only way would be down, plunging headfirst to their deaths.
It didn't take long for their fates to be decided as by just the smallest of margins, they got to the landmass, at which point Cedric's Avatar state conveniently ended.
