Chapter 344: The Scale of the Endless Loop

"Aaahhh!"

A shout with all one's might could incite the courage.

White Gawd raised up his Holy Sword, frantically pouring in his magic energy.

On its downward swing, the Holy Sword of Light erupted with a dazzling golden light.

The blade soared within the light of the sword and grew several meters in an instant, chopping into the tentacle's body without a hindrance!

By the time White realized, the Holy Sword of Light had already pierced the tentacle, ripping a horrifying wound across its body.

Putrid mucus gushed out from the wound and flowed down to the ground, forming a puddle.

After the tentacle was pierced by his strike, it suddenly stopped moving.

It raised its tip, its eight-lipped mouth facing White with the tongue inside letting out hissing sounds, stretching out and shrinking back from time to time.

White couldn't help looking up at it, the grip on his sword slightly trembling.

Just now, when the sword chopped into the tentacle's body, it didn't seem to encounter any resistance, as if it had directly "pierced through" it.

But right at this moment, he tried retrieving the Holy Sword of Light and found that it was stuck inside the tentacle's body. He couldn't pull it out at all.

This made his face turn pale.

Amidst the strange stalemate, the atmosphere in the passage gradually turned tense.

Behind White, Robert had once again turned around, but when he looked at the looming tentacle monster and White who was clutching the Holy Sword, he didn't even dare to let out a breath.

He was afraid that any little movement he made would trigger the tentacle to start moving.

Emma had already moved behind the corner wall, but despite holding the [Golden Treasure Chest] card in her hand, even she herself felt that [Golden Treasure Chest]'s mental manipulation wouldn't have any impact on the tentacle.

It was just like how White didn't place his hopes on [Forbidden Love].

Because it was really hard to imagine that the tentacle monster would be bewitched by gold and love.

Instead of using [Golden Treasure Chest], it would be more effective to summon one or two magical spirits to attract the attention of the tentacle monster.

Emma's fingers kept flipping between several magic cards.

But just like Robert, she subconsciously didn't want to break this stalemate.

Pssht!

All of a sudden, when White exerted his strength once more, he unexpectedly pulled out the Holy Sword of Light!

The sudden change in situation made him feel even more flustered.

The tentacle monster trembled the moment the sword was pulled out.

As nimble as a snake, the tongue in its mouth abruptly shot out and retracted just as suddenly.

It was unknown what it was thinking about by doing such an action, but it stopped moving again.

But this really frightened White.

He once again lifted the Holy Sword of Light that had just been pulled out.

The light of the Holy Sword shot straight into the sky, golden light bursting out

through the cracks and illuminating the void on the left side of the abyss.

"Aahhhh!"

In panic, White swung down his sword again.

This time, his concentration was more focused, and the golden light of the Holy Sword was also more stable.

But when the sword struck, it felt like chopping on cowhide, completely unlike the previous sensation of "piercing through".

Looking with his eyes wide open, White found that it had only left an additional scratch on the tentacle monster's body...

Two strikes, two completely different results.

White found it difficult to accept this fact. This time, he promptly slashed out after pulling back his sword, then he pulled back and slashed again, and pulled back and slashed again…

His slashing speed gradually became faster, but the sword marks on the tentacle monster's body were getting more and more shallow.

In the end, even the wound from his first strike had perfectly healed.

The tentacle monster had obviously remained still, allowing White to keep swinging his sword, but the sense of oppression it exuded was growing stronger and stronger.

"Ah—"

White closed his eyes and swung out his final strike.

He gathered almost all the strength in his whole body for this strike.

But the "piercing" sensation that came from his first strike still didn't occur.

Instead, the tentacle monster's skin suddenly became as tough as steel.

When the Holy Sword of Light slashed at the skin of the tentacle monster, as though it was slashing at steel, the blade made up of golden light abruptly cracked.

Then, the three-meter-long Holy Sword broke where the blade cracked!

White fixedly stared at the spot where the sword slashed, his shoulders drooping as he gasped for breath.

The last strike in which he had put his all could no longer leave any mark on the tentacle's skin.

White couldn't help releasing his grip, letting the Holy Sword turn into light and dissipate.

He instinctively started to back away.

It was right when he took a step back that the tongue of the tentacle monster suddenly let out a hiss.

Then, the tentacle monster that hadn't moved for a long time began to move.

"Run!" Robert abruptly shouted.

White felt someone dragging him back by the wrist, his whole body tilting backwards due to the pull.

He turned around and ran, leaving his defenseless back to the tentacle monster.

A ray of light flashed by and landed between him and the tentacle monster.

The [Bronze Soldier] covered in bronze armor swiftly emerged within the light.

The moment it materialized, Bronze Soldier acted according to Emma's prior command and pulled out the bronze longsword at its waist, unleashing its only ultimate against the terrifying tentacle monster—[Wipeout (横扫)]!

[Wipeout], as in wiping out all the enemies.

Aside from changing the attack range from a "spot" to an "area", the only other effect [Wipeout] had was [Knockback]!

But the wind pressure unleashed by the longsword couldn't even shake an inch of the enormous tentacle monster.

[Bronze Soldier], who was only a 3-star, couldn't surpass the level gap. The additional effect of its ultimate had no impact against the tentacle monster.

But at the very least, it managed to hold off the tentacle for a few seconds by sacrificing itself.

These few seconds were enough for Robert to drag the somewhat dazed White into the corner.

Then, just like repeating history, the three of them desperately ran along this passage again.

Clink. Crack.

Bronze Soldier was chewed to pieces and swallowed. It then turned into light spots of magic energy in the stomach of the tentacle.

The [Bronze Soldier] magic card in Emma's hand turned gray.

"Stop spacing out, summon your magical spirits!" She hurriedly yelled with a pale face.

White and Robert took out their magic cards and began summoning.

Two magical spirits appeared behind the three, charging towards the pursuing tentacle with the awareness of sacrificing themselves.

But this tentacle was bigger and thicker than the previous one. The two magical spirits were of no hindrance to it.

It writhed past and directly crushed the two magical spirits underneath its body.

In just tens of seconds, it had caught up to White's group of three.
