I stepped backward to evade the tendrils, but they kept appearing from the black liquid below.
They chased me, weaving through the ground as I kept running to avoid them.
Then, more tendrils appeared in front of me, as if they had already predicted where I'd go.
I immediately jumped and twisted my body mid-air to avoid them all.
With a rough breath, I landed on a large rock, one of the few places not yet covered in the black liquid.
Meanwhile, Bob was also struggling against the tendrils.
He kept dodging and running, but a few tendrils still managed to graze him, leaving shallow cuts across his arms and sides.
It looked like he was close to his limit.
The thing about Hero Grace is…
Even though it's a cheat-like skill, it still has a weakness. Every time it is used, the active duration becomes shorter, and the recoil on the body becomes heavier.
Bob already used it once earlier against the Cave Beast, so this time, his active duration should be even shorter than mine.
