Chapter 169 - Dark Pit (2/2)

There were now only a few steps left before Ray exited the forest of tentacles but just then, his Ice bind skill had worn off and the original tentacles he had frozen were moving once again.

Ray then used all his strength to leap to the other side were the others were, however, a tentacle managed to just wrap around his foot and instead of slamming him to the ground like the tentacles usually did. The beast decided to just fling Ray off the side of the bridge into the black pit.

”BOSS!” Jack shouted as he saw Ray's body disappear into the endless black hole.

”Dam it!” Jack said as he looked over the edge. Jack looked down at the black pit and prepared himself as if he was ready to jump down there himself.

Gary could see what Jack was thinking.

”Don't be a fool Jack, Ray will survive this trust me, he's not normal like me and you.”

”What do we do now?” Badger asked.

”We have to look for the boss of course.” Jack instantly Replied.

”I agree but first, that ugly thing needs payback,” Gary said looking at the tentacles.

”Don't be crazy!” Sloth said, ”If Ray couldn't beat it, what makes you think you can?”

Garry didn't reply but he couldn't keep his eyes off the sword that the Minotaur had dropped. It was so black in color that something was attracting him to it. Not only that but suddenly the white lines had appeared all over the tentacles. Gary was confident in surviving the beasts attack now.

Gary then rushed back towards the tentacles, too fast for the others to stop him. Gary had only one thing in his site and that was the Dark sword the minotaur had dropped. When Gary had made it into the range of the tentacles, Gary immediately started slashing with both of his swords at the white lines he saw in his vision.

He was cutting the tentacles so cleanly that he only needed one strike. Badger and Sloth looked at Gary in amazement, they were truly watching the skills of a master swordsman at work. However, there was still the problem of the tentacles regenerating, even if Gary was able to slice them off, they would grow back in nearly an instant.

Then when the Sword was finally within reach, Gary threw one of his swords away off the bridge and immediately grabbed the Black sword with his right hand. A tentacle was coming straight for Gray behind him and in an instant, Gary turned around and sliced the tentacle with his new black sword.

This time, the tentacle didn't grow back.

”I knew you were special!”
