The sound of their clash had already awakened the others. They hid behind a tree, silently watching the intense battle between Kranos and the mysterious man. Some of them were confused, but none dared to speak or even breathe too loudly, afraid the man might notice them. From the fact that he was fighting kranos they could guess that the man was an enemy.
When they saw Kranos slash the man's hand apart, they were elated. But in the next moment, their expressions showed a look of horror seeing that the man's hand reattached itself, tendrils squirming like worms knitting it back together.
…
Kranos and the man continued exchanging blows. A space slash rippled through the air, aiming for the man's head, but he tilted just in time to dodge it. The next moment, nearly twenty tentacles burst from beneath his skin. Before Kranos could react, they all struck at once.
