Chapter 241 241 Unbreakable
Stacy's jaws dropped in shock.
The tentacles- right where their stumps had been- was a fully formed long stretch of skin and membrane!! Her eyes went round- widening and widening as her inner voice cracked.
'It grew. . .back?'
She blinked. Blinked again. And opened her eyes.
Nope. It wasn't her imagination. It was still there!
"They're growing back!!" she exploded in shock: "The tentacles- they've all returned!!"
"Damnnn it Stacy! I said keep going!"
She didn't need to be told twice. Nearly tripping over a lump of rock, she spun her body sideways- and lurched forward. She cried out with her both eyes stinging and her head pounding.
"We're fucked!"
"No. We just need to keep going that's all."
"Keep going?!" she protested- "For how long master?! How do you kill the thing a grows back when you hack it?! HOW?!"
"Listen!" He rasped; "We can't give up! If we don't keep running, WE ARE GOING TO GER EATEN!!"
She sulked beside him- forcing her legs forward- thumping and thumping- hearing her heart beating in rapid bursts.
"The wireworms had the right idea," Nexus continued; "Just RUN!!"
Stacy heard him. But she wasn't listening. She didn't want to. So, desperate for a new way out of this situation, she cocked her head to the side, stealing one last glance at the creature- with her blood moon eyes.
She immediately said the words- in a low murmur.
Nexus heard her muttering, and jacked his head towards her. She was bleeding- from her eyes.
"What the he-"
"Master!!" she cut him off; "There's somethi-"
"Stop burning mana Stacy!" he rebuked her; "You're gonna need all the strength you can get!!"
But Stacy's shoulders trembled- as did her voice- when she replied him;
"There's a cloud. . .a thick cloud. . .I see it gathering. . .over the top. . ."
Nexus' jugular vein pulsed wildly as he swore out loud.
"But. . .it's not attacking. . .it's simply sitting . . .still. . ."
Nexus swore again.
"This isn't looking good master."
"You think?!" He hollered back: "All the more reason to get the fuck outta here!!"
"It's going to come for us. . ." She whispered- almost coldly; "And it's going to come hard. . .we can't allow sit strike first master. . .not with that nasty cloud gathering above it. . ."
Nexus swore again- cursing out loud as his swinging arms shredded the open air. Hurling down the hill, he eyed the base longingly. It was right there. Just a couple of yards away!
But he knew the York girl was right. They had to make sure this attack did NOT fall through. So, Nexus screeched to a halt- and jerked himself into a full roundabout turn- facing once again, the unkillable beast.
He pursed his lips- arched his head upwards;
"You should probably hide in that cleft over there. . .this is going to get really ugly."
As she clacked her feet- backing away, Nexus fixed his gaze upwards muttering:
'Here goes nothing.'
In a flash of lightning, the flying sword appeared- streaking through the open black night- racing towards the monster.
Nexus twisted his fists. This time, he wasn't going for no damn tentacle. He was going for the head- for a kill shot.
Nexus' ears buzzed wildly- watching the sword somersault through the air. On his fingertips, joints, and stretching all the way to his arms, a chilling numbness gripped him.
Glowing under the moonlight, the blade ascended, roaring and wheezing through the throng of whirring tentacles. Hundred feet up in the cold night's air, the silvery blade landed on the monster's bald head.
Nexus' racing heart thumped against his rib cage.
Bullseye.
Under its massive body, rocks cracked- breaking into splintering pieces, as it swayed violently. The monster hurled its bald head up and roared- thundering its rage, and sending its the echoes through the valley.
It thrashed its long curly tentacles as fumes of dark smoke gathered- smoking the air over, and around it. Nexus breaths palpated. Squinting his eyes, he peered at the commotion, trying to peer through the clouds of dense smoke.
Heart in his mouth, Nexus' eyes suddenly shot wide open.
"The fuck–" he stuttered; "That's impossible. . .no, no, no. . ."
Teeth grinding against the lower half of his jaw, he watched his flying sword- feeling its toothlessness as it hacked and hacked at the bald head- bouncing harmlessly against the exposed tendons of its grey colored membrane- without breaking a single inch of flesh!!
"Master that's not gonna work!!" Stacy yelled with a confidence that annoyed the hell out of Nexus.
His neck whipped in her direction- eyes flashing angrily;
"Stay back!" he barked; "Do you know what this is?! It's a flying sword! Nothing can stop it!"
"No," she yelled back- concernedly; "It's not the sword, it's the smoke!! LOOK!!"
She pointed at the rising fumes swirling one hundred feet in the air;
"Its mana is hardening the outer shell!! It's unbreakable!!"
Nexus' ears rang with a low whistling- replaying her words over and over again.
He looked directly into the bulging black eyes of the octopus. It hissed defiantly- uncurling its massive tentacles, and thrashing them all over the place. The blade continued to swing- stabbing ferociously like a rabid wild dog. But the tip, edge, and blade kept bouncing off- igniting tiny glowing sparks, that the thick darkness swallowed.
Nexus refused to accept Stacy's judgment.
"Unbreakable?" he scoffed; "I'll show you unbreakable. . ."
His right eye twitched- and for a moment- single flames of fire cackled in both eyes. He dug hit heels into the earth- sending tiny mists of dust upwards- like tiny mushroom clouds. Filled with a savage rush of indignation, Nexus' curled his hands- balling them into fists- and tugged- redirecting the weapon.
The glowing sword dipped with a whistling sounds- southwards- at the tentacles curling flippantly in the air., swirling beneath the creatures bald head. With a swoosh, the flying blade raged downwards. As it descended, it charged at the host of tentacles with an insatiable bloodlust.
Nexus' wide eyes glistened- watching the trajectory of the double edged sword. It sliced through the night air in wheezing sounds- reflecting the wrath of its owner.
'Unbreakable huh?' he chuckled under his breath; 'Don't make me laugh. . .'
With all his willpower, with an immovable confidence, he brought the massive blade down- HARD- with the swinging arc and vengeful justice of an executioner's axe,
whoop whoop- slashhhh!!
The satisfying echo reverberated through the hills. The octopus roared- immediately summoning all the other tentacles- twisting and twisting- interlocking themselves into a web of membrane and thick tissue- immediately swallowing up his hacking sword.
Nexus' jaw dropped- and the confidence in his eyes faded away into oblivion. Above, not a single tentacle had fallen to the ground!
'The fuck–' he muttered; 'The tentacles are also hardened?!'
Shock lined up the edges of his eyes;
'Just how much qi does this thing have exactly?!!!'
The answer was glaring.
But the second shocker blossomed right before his eyes- reflecting stately in both his irises. Mouth open, and eyes widened to the point of bursting out, Nexus watched in real time as the hill sized monster wrapped around clouds of darkness- forming intertwining locks with all six of its tentacles- and balancing its full weight on just two.
