Xadia's fears had been made into reality. The possibility that the whole subconscious mind voyage wouldn't go as planned. His hesitation playing right on track, following the course of the movie scenario he anticipated.
And as luck would have it, the situation had quickly escalated. Now his only means of escape was being manipulated in the air. "Ivy!!". Xadia shouted reaching for Ivy who was being lifted from the ground into the purple mist.
Xadia then leaped into the air aiming to grab Ivy, but he was too late, a flicker of purple light could be seen and the mist in the area instantly conjured at Ivy consuming her into a portal, leaving Xadia to catch Ivy's falling staff.
"argh, I knew this was a bad idea," Xadia cursed.
"She shouted my name, will she be alright?, she left her staff, without her I have no way of getting out of you". Xadia internally thought.
An incredible blood lust could be felt from Xadia's back, and when he turned to look, he could see an energy-like tentacle coming straight at him, and he was too late to react. The hit connected, sending Xadia's body skidding on the floor.
The impact of the hit was more than he thought it would be, of course, he had been hit by the same energy tentacles before, but the power of this hit was quite unusual and more powerful than it usually would be.
"ugh, that was more than I expected". Xadia said slowly lifting himself from the ground. Looking at the dealer of the attacker, he was shocked to see who it was, or rather what it was.
Xadia could see a purple blob-like figure with purple lightning sparks dancing inside its transparent body. It was massive to a size of a cylindrical water tanker and it had two tentacle arms coming out from its mid-body.
It looked like the creature in the movie "The Blob", but this was far scary to look at, and Its bloodlust was sending chills down Xadia's spine.
Sensing the change in the aura, Xadia quickly ran to pick up Ivy's staff that had fallen to the ground, due to the hit from the blob figure. Taking the staff, Xadia then flung it forward to hit an energy tentacle coming his way.
Almost instantly as he had blocked the first one, another came from the side, and this one was more powerful than the first one as it met with the staff, sending Xadia gliding through the air.
Landing on his feet, there was now distance between Xadia and the blob, and he could see four tentacles coming his way. "Arng, they just keep coming,". Xadia gritted his teeth as he prepared for the coming spear tentacles.
The first attack came, and by swinging the staff blocked it, and another soon came by the side, and it was also blocked by Xadia. The other two tentacles then lashed onto the staff attempting to yank it from his hand.
Xadia then began to twirl the staff, making the tentacles let go, and they soon returned to their stabbing attacks. The staff was able to block and hit them as Xadia continued twirling the staff about, moving them to every point of attack, something he learned as a kid after watching so many martial arts movies.
The tentacles had begun to change the way they attacked, it was as if they were looking for vulnerable points to attack Xadia, and he had to keep his mental alertness on all four of the tentacle spears to avoid all of the surreptitious attacks coming from all sides, but that was soon to end.
Suddenly the tentacles then retracted themselves into the blob figure. Squinting his eyes, Xadia could see the lightening sparks in the blob's body, conjuring into a point at its center of gravity, and the point was glowing more brightly as energy was being conjured, and it was as if Xadia could feel the metabolic energy from the blob.
A thick purple streak of lightening then shot out at Xadia, it was fast and it was only by a little bit that Xadia had managed to dodge the attack, but the shock wave of the lightening still threw him away farther from where Xadia was before, the spot the lightening had made a hit.
"Shit, where the hell is Ivy, she said I mustn't die here, but I might really die,". Xadia said as he began to make distance from the figure, running backward away from it.
The blob soon followed after Xadia, and it was still fast even with its blob-like body slithering on the ground as its bottom was glowing purple, increasing its speed so as to catch up on Xadia.
Sensing a change in energy, Xadia looked back to see the blob closing the distance on him, and the purple glow in its belly was generating again. The purple lightning struck again and this time it was very close to Xadia, as it exploded into the ground sending Xadia skidding the floor until he met one of the purple strange thorn trees.
"huh,".Xadia said groaning slowly getting up from the ground. His vision was hazy, but it was slowly beginning to clear, and he could see the blob monster 30 meters away from him.
It then stretched out its tentacle at Xadia, and he quickly picked up Ivy's staff from the ground as it was his only weapon of defense. The tentacle then pulled at the staff.
But Xadia held on tight making sure not to lose his grip as his legs were slowly losing balance, and he was slowly giving in to the strength of the purple blob creature. "I must not lose this staff, Ivy still needs it to get us out of here,". Xadia internally thought motivating himself from giving in, and a few seconds later he lost consciousness.
A rush of energy shot through Xadia's body, strengthening his grip on the staff and increasing his strength. His eyes were now glowing, and the blob was giving as the tide wasn't in its favor again.
The energy then forced Xadia's body to move at an incredible speed and with an incredible force, as he held on tightly to the staff and pulled the tentacles and began to tire the tentacles around the strange purple thorn tree, and the thorn was helpful in holding the tentacles in place.
Xadia still filled with energy then held onto the tentacles drawing the purple glowing energy in it, that was strengthening the tentacles that were now pulling on the tree.
The purple blob then detached its tentacles and arms from its body, the energy was beginning to circulate again, and it was preparing for its lightning attack again. Seeing this the unconscious Xadia then began to run at the blob-like creature aiming to stop the attack.
About to reach the blob-like creature, the streak of purple lightening then struck at Xadia, and upon hitting a green light illuminated the whole space.
