The colossal plant monster towered over them, its multiple crimson flower eyes glowing with malevolent intelligence. Hundreds of thorn-covered tentacles lashed out wildly, forcing the team into a desperate defensive struggle.
Sein was breathing heavily, her flames growing weaker. "This thing… is on a completely different level!"
Sarah was flying erratically, her mana nearly depleted. "I can't keep this up much longer!"
Lisa's barrier was flickering dangerously as she tried to heal everyone while maintaining defense. Blood was still seeping from her side.
Andrey's body was covered in wounds. His Damage Absorb was empty, and his regeneration couldn't keep up with the constant damage. The boss's tentacles were too fast, too numerous, and too powerful.
A massive thorned tentacle slammed into Sein, sending her crashing into a ruined wall. Another whipped toward Lisa.
Andrey's eyes narrowed with grim determination.
"…We don't have a choice anymore."
