Although Noir was talking to us, I could see him setting up the shadow tentacles all around, ready to enclose and attack from all directions. I immediately warned Fang about the incoming stealth attacks.
"Now, shall we get started?"
As if his voice were the distraction itself, the start of his sentence was also the signal for the start of his tentacle's attacks.
"Fang!"
"Yes, Leader!"
Just as I told her before, she moved toward the incoming tentacles one after another. Her claws, clad in solidified darkness, extended for a few meters as she cleared the incoming tentacles in an instant.
"I applaud your tenacity..."
Suddenly, Noir vanished from his position, making us both panic. I looked around, trying to search for his traces, but I couldn't even find his shadow.
"Was he just an illusion since earlier...?"
