Otherwise, that last hit would have seriously injured him.
"What?"
The young man in the hemp robe, gazing in shock at his arms bleeding profusely, stared at the rapidly widening stone wall.
His current strength, even greater than that of the Golden Core Realm, was sent flying by a single tentacle, which showed the power of the monster growing within the stone wall.
The young man in the hemp robe hesitated slightly before the third tentacle shot out from the crack in the stone, wrapped around his body and dragged him towards it.
"I'll help you!"
"Brother, me too!"
Another young man in green and a woman in purple robe summoned their flying swords and slashed at the tentacles, but they only managed to cut off two before the monster awakened fully at the bottom of the lake.
More and more tentacles reached out, entwining with each other, while the beast's low growls from the bottom of the lake grew louder.
