"Ah~~~~"
The piercing scream attacked Shard's eardrums as the moonlight was extinguished. The gurgling sound disappeared, and the sharp scream first shattered the remaining glass of the buildings around Saint Delan Square, then even suppressed the wailing of the gale.
Blood flowed from Shard's ears. He endured the severe pain in his head and faced the towering monster behind the building, slashing out silver moonlight with the long staff in his hand:
"Moonlight Slash!"
But the arc of moonlight only flew halfway before being shattered into light particles by the dancing invisible tentacles in the dark, at the position of the rooftop. Shard's eyes had adapted to the darkness by now, revealing that what he initially thought was merely space behind the merman was actually a mass of festering tentacles numbering in the tens of thousands, appearing like a pair of massive black wings behind the mountainous dark figure.
