The eight-lipped mouth at the tip of the tentacle ferociously opened.

White, who was running at the tail, reflexively turned around and screamed in fright upon seeing the dense rows of sharp teeth.

He burst out with an unprecedented speed, but the sudden acceleration caused him to step on Robert's heel.

Robert immediately staggered.

Unable to hold himself steady, White knocked his head on Robert's back.

If it weren't for Robert's firm foothold, the two of them would've been tumbling at the ground by now.

But even if they didn't fall, their speed still inevitably slowed down.

Pitch-black shadow abruptly loomed close.

At some point, the tentacle had appeared above them, its huge eight-lipped mouth swaying from side to side, as if thinking about who to eat first.

White and Robert picked up their pace under the shroud of the shadow, but they couldn't even create the slightest distance.

"White, what should we do?"

Robert had already realized that they might not be able to escape.

White's face was ashen. He also had no idea what to do.

"Dungeon Escaper!"

Emma, ​​who was running at the front, suddenly turned around and pointed at the watch-like [Dungeon Escaper] on her wrist, loudly shouting, "Activate the trigger!"

Only then did Robert and White remember that they still had [Dungeon Escaper].

Feeling ecstatic at once, the two immediately guided their magic energy to try to trigger it.

Actively triggering the [Dungeon Escaper] was better than having it forcibly be triggered upon being swallowed.

As for whether they would be laughed at afterwards?

The two of them no longer had the mind to care about those things.

But just as Robert reached out to press his [Dungeon Escaper], the vision at the corner of his eye suddenly turned dark.

Quickly turning his head, he was shocked to find that his best friend who was running behind him had disappeared out of thin air.

Instinctively, Robert raised up his head in fear.

Sure enough, he saw his best friend's feet jutting out of the closed eight-lipped mouth of the tentacle!

"White!"

He immediately stopped running and let out a heart-piercing scream.

Emma, ​​who was about to trigger her [Dungeon Escaper], also promptly stopped her movement.

In fact, they didn't really have a deep understanding of the mechanism of the [Dungeon Escaper].

Seeing that the [Dungeon Escaper] wasn't triggered even after White was swallowed by the tentacle, they thought that his [Dungeon Escaper] was broken!

In his panic, Robert clutched at straws and took out several other cards Vlad had left behind, but the only one he could currently summon was the 3-star [Mother Blood Bat], which couldn't change the situation.

Moreover, the CD time of his Normal Summoning Spell wasn't over yet!

At the time of despair, Robert's vision suddenly turned blurry—he actually saw a black shadow flashing above the tentacle.

For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating because he felt too desperate.

But the black shadow swiftly launched an attack at the spot behind the tentacle's mouth.

The abruptly extended devil's claws clenched into a fist and punched down with the power of [Deathclaw]!

"Kiee——"

A piercing cry came from inside the tentacle.

Thereupon, the eight-lipped mouth in which White was swallowed opened. As if vomiting, it spat out White who was desperately struggling.

Completely disregarding the mucus dripping from above, Robert rushed forward to catch White's body.

Upon roughly landing on the ground, White hurriedly held himself against the wall and vomited non-stop.

After the tentacle swallowed him, although it didn't discharge any corrosive liquid, the smelly mucus all over its mouth still made him feel extremely nauseous.

Extreme nausea plus extreme fear = twice the urge to throw up!

At this time, even though White's body was covered with mucus and his vomit smelled horrible, Robert still forcibly held his hand regardless of his repulsion and pulled him away.

"That's Dark's magical spirit!"

Emma's joyful voice reached Robert's ears.

That crucial name finally gave him a sense of security.

"Dark is here to save us!" Robert exclaimed in surprise.

"Barf!" White vomited even harder.

But despite feeling elated, Robert and Emma didn't let down their vigilance.

The strength of the tentacle was obvious to all. If the only one who came was the 4-star Devimon, they would probably still be doomed.

It wasn't until Devimon flew down from above the tentacle and stood upright with its back facing them did the two notice that there was another magical spirit beside it.

It was a never seen before black-as-ink sphere without a single trace of blemish on its entire body!

There was a thin wisp of divine light flowing around the surface of the sphere, giving off the feeling of a living creature.

Soon after, the two shockingly saw Devimon taking a couple of steps back to let that sphere go forward!

"Is that also Dark's magical spirit?" Robert couldn't help asking.

As she nervously watched, Emma reflexively replied, "How do I know?"

Of course they wouldn't know.

After all, Rose had never participated in any other competition than the ones held within class.

However, the number of times she entered the laboratory was basically the same as Dianna. Although the frequency of her crafting was slightly lacking due to the gap in points, it was impossible for her to gain nothing.

Aside from [Mobius Bug], Rose also possessed [Aurora Moon Rabbit], which was also an extremely rare magical spirit.

As a matter of fact, even Dark didn't have a clear knowledge about Rose's magical spirits.

Therefore, it was even more impossible for Devimon to know what was so powerful about this [Mobius Bug].

It had merely teleported [Mobius Bug] under Dark's order.

If [Mobius Bug] could really block the tentacle, then it would carry out the next order—to immediately return!

Although the first tentacle was injured, it hadn't completely retreated. It was still waiting for an opportunity to attack at the other passage.

Once Devimon disappeared from the front, Dark's group of three wouldn't entirely be safe.

Sending over [Mobius Bug] was already the greatest display of goodwill.

As for the next step to take, that would be for White's team to decide on their own.

If they helped them to solve everything, the significance of "adventure" would be lost from this dungeon.

……

Devimon took a few more steps back, distancing itself as far as possible from [Mobius Bug].

At this moment, the tentacle that had been struck by its punch finally came to its senses.

"Hhhssss—"

After letting out a menacing shriek, the tentacle ignored [Mobius Bug] in front of it, opened its mouth, and charged towards Devimon who was standing behind it!

But just as it was about to cross over the [Mobius Bug] from above, a colorful halo instantly burst out from the pitch-black sphere!

Just like a "Mobius strip", the halo was a one-sided surface.

With [Mobius Bug] as the center, it slowly spun and released a huge force field.

Entering the range of this force field was akin to sinking into mire.

No matter if it was physical attack or magical attack, everything would be absorbed by the force field, ultimately turning into pure energy circulating across the surface of the halo.

As soon as the tentacle rushed into it, it instantly felt its energy sapping away, its whole body going limp. It was so shocked that it immediately drew back.

A [1] silently appeared on top of [Mobius Bug].

That was the number representing its "energy scale".
