[Ad Astra Per Adpera, Carpe Diem!]
Ioki with all his might, launched a punch targeting the grotesque hand.
Feeling the destruction power behind Ioki's attack, the hand clamped its palm to form a fist. It swung itself to the side, hoping to punch Ioki away and distance itself.
Not even given the chance to extend its whole arm fully, Ioki went straight away to the portal near Umbrathrax's position. Fully aware of what Ioki was trying to do, the ground burst out with a massive number of tentacles.
Nimble on his feet, he coordinated perfectly with every single inch of gap between their attack to minimize the damage he was going to suffer. Jumping between the tight spaces after whips of tentacles went by his body, he finally realized the sound of steps from behind was finally closer.
Symphonies of battle cries followed by the instrument of metals clashing into flesh begin to occur on the battlefield again.
