"Hurry up!" Acht shouted loudly as he took a peek at the ever-growing swirl pool of death. It was so quick that it already consumed hundreds of meters of rocks and was now coming closer and closer to where they stood.
Their speed was already impressive since most of them were exhausted and injured to their limit. Their hands started to feel numb and their shoulders were in so much pain that they threatened to fall off their body.
Acht was in a dilemma. He knew that with this speed they could or could not reach in time and he was not keen on the idea of letting fate decide whether their gamble will be a success or a failure. So, he had to make a choice.
'Should I use Gravity Bullets? But, I could spill out my secret. Dammit!' He cursed and then looked at Leislet.
Coincidentally, she was also looking at him, their eyes were more than enough to share their thoughts and feelings. So, immediately, Leislet understood what he was saying and looked at her teammates.
"Acht is going to use his wind element trump card attack! Give him space! Hurry!"
The group didn't complain and retreated slightly before attacking another area, their faces were as pale as a white sheer and their hands were as red as ripe tomatoes, but they still had that hopeful look in their eyes.
Acht took a deep breath and eyed the ground. He could see how the massive piece of land they were standing on was moving ever-so-slowly to the middle. It was like a timer that ticked down slowly to announce their imminent death.
Then, with a chilling gaze, he lifted up his hand in the air and conjured a ball of gravity. He used all of his soul force in this attack. Soon, a blue hue surrounded his hand but it was luckily not that luminescent so no one saw it.
Then, after making the biggest gravity ball he ever did, he had to lift it up with both hands before swinging it left and right to gain momentum.
After a few swings, he turned his body to the maximum and threw it with a loud shout.
The ball flew at a fast speed and hit the wall roughly. But, nothing happened immediately. Acht was about to get confused and then it happened.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A colossal shock of air and energy almost sent everyone flying. But, they were able to hold on tightly. A huge hole was created in the stomach wall that penetrated it to the end and showed the other organs near the stomach.
Acht didn't waste any time and looked at the timid man.
"Lenon, Now!"
He shouted as he closed up on the group and stuck to them. Lenon immediately conjured a huge ball-shaped obsidian armor and covered the whole team with it. And then they waited.
The splashing sounds of acid on the obsidian ore could be heard from the inside. They also felt the ground beneath them rise up at an alarming speed.
"Get ready! It will be rough." Acht warned them as he stuck to the wall to minimize the impact when they got thrown to the ground outside. everyone else immediately followed suit with nervous looks.
*Swish*
A few seconds later, they heard a loud sound of screeching. It was akin to a dying monster. It was the sound of this creature throwing up.
Then, they felt how they were shot in the air like a ball. They were thrown hundreds of meters into the distance and they hit one of the dungeon's real walls.
*BOOM*
The impact was very strong and almost broke Acht's shoulder from the sheer speed. Everyone else was also hit roughly but they were fine.
The ball of obsidian armor was soon opened up and they were able to get out safely.
Acht jumped down and gazed at the distance where the monster stood. He had been ready for the abomination he was about to see…or so he thought naively.
The thing he saw was the ugliest creature he had ever witnessed. It was even worse than anyone's worst nightmares or more like a mix between all of these bad dreams.
"What in the hell is that?" He muttered quietly with shocked eyes.
The monster was similar to a squid in body form with huge tentacles that extended for tens of kilometers. Its body was red and its huge gaping mouth was big enough to fit a whole city in there.
What was the most disturbing, however, was its eyes. It had hundreds of eyes that filled every gap in its body and made it have a full 360° angle view around it.
The other team members looked at this thing with horrified looks, despair appearing in their eyes. They all had one thought.
"How could we kill such a thing?"
Forget about killing, what could their small attacks and their weapons that were akin to needles do for this creature? It was impossible to kill it.
The creature also seemed to be looking at them, making the distance between them that seemed far all the more closer. Its deathly cold eyes sent a shiver down their spines as it screeched loudly.
Then, out of nowhere, Acht shouted.
"It will die!"
Everyone didn't understand him at first. He had to repeat his words again for them. He had this fire burning inside his eyes that made them feel taken aback. He was still eager to kill it!
"I said it will die. That creature is dying now. So, our only goal is to survive it while it goes on a rampage. Don't lose hope or you can go and fucking die alone!"
No one understood why he came up with that deduction, but this boost in confidence made them gulp down their fears along with their salivas and tighten their fists. They had survived once, so they could survive it again!
