Xu Tao didn't waste another second.
As soon as he drew his sword, he rushed forward, swinging it like wind slipping through bamboo stalks.
"...!"
But just as he got close—something unbelievable happened.
SWOOSH!
The brain's curvy, wrinkled folds began to squirm, extending outward like a whip! It lashed out, leaving sonic booms in its wake—forcing Xu Tao onto the defensive.
He quickly raised his sword to block, but the blow still sent him flying, even farther than where he started.
'Even the brain is a tentacle monster?! What the fuck is wrong with this Leviathan?!' he grumbled inwardly, wiping the blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
Though he'd blocked the attack, the sonic boom—and some mysterious energy riding along with it—inflicted internal damage. Judging by his current injuries, he could only take two or three more hits before he kicked the bucket!
