I had no time to lose. The massive, tentacle-like black whips lashed out at me in an instant. One grazed my left leg, and I gasped as a searing pain shot through me. The energy was corrosive, potent enough to melt steel if given the chance. I knew that if it fully wrapped around me, it would be game over.
I split into four in an instant. After my level-up, my Shadow Parade had reached level 8, granting me an additional clone. Not only that, but now each clone could wield 50% of my total power. If they could ever reach 100% one day... how unstoppable would that make me? But even at 50%, it was already a game-changer.
I sent my clones charging at him, weaving through the lashing tentacles with beautiful, almost effortless athleticism. Each time he tried to strike one of them, they soared gracefully through the air, their wings radiating intense heat and power.
