"Don't!!" Isola's eyes widened and warned as he suddenly leaped towards her, intent on using his ring blade to free her from her fate.
But just as she expected, as he sprang forward, the entire organic chamber tremored violently, as if the Kraken itself could sense the impending threat to its precious Life Pearl. No matter how weak its enemy was, it would never risk letting them get near its Life Pearl or disrupt anything.
Without warning, torrents of nightmarish acidic water erupted from all sides of the chamber.
This vile, corrosive elixir was as black as the deepest ocean trenches. Its odor was overpowering and nauseating, a noxious combination of rotting flesh and burnt sulfur that was nearly impossible to endure by any normal person.
Isola could only watch in dismay as the man she barely knew seemed poised to meet a gruesome end.
