Facing Geralt's attack, the Wizard showed no panic. He swung the monster's tentacles, which he could now control, meaning they had fused into one!
Geralt immediately felt the pressure increase, but he didn't falter. His enchanted flame Longsword swung out, making contact with the tentacles.
Flames flared as the Longsword's sharp edge sliced into a tentacle. Though the wound wasn't large, more importantly, the oil coating the blade ignited on the tentacle, keeping the fire burning in the gash.
It worked!
Seeing this, Geralt felt a surge of joy. However, in the next second, the tentacle twisted, extinguishing the small flame, and the wound healed in an instant.
Geralt had no time to lament the fleeting success; the Wizard's next attack was already upon him, forcing Geralt to continue swinging his Longsword in defense.
