As the blue crystal tentacle reached for the male Feather, a golden light shone down. It was a gold arrow, perforating the crystal tentacle.
This golden arrow was different from the others. A strange power carried it down with the force of a drillhead. It drilled right into the tentacle, until half of its shaft was driven in.
When the tentacle was frozen after the attack, the male Feather reached for the creature's head. He drew his golden lance and shoved it right in.
The Feather then pulled back on his lance, and he picked up the entire beast with it. The beast eventually fell back down into the Black River, creating a crater.
The monster was still alive, struggling for life, but it was heavily damaged. The two Feathers were able to finish it off quickly.
Hardman and Guris were done for, though. The tentacles had already tightened around the two Kate men, breaking their armor and bones. Their bodies were disfigured and torn.
