Elliot didn't even look ahead, as it was useless. He focused on pushing as hard as he could, pushing his strength to the absolute limit.
But in front of him... The tentacle had already hit the rat head-on.
Unlike last time, this time, the rat knew how to hold on to it, so it didn't fly backwards. Instead, it began to be dragged along by the other tentacle.
The rat forced itself to try to stop the tentacle, while Elliot forced himself to try to get out of there.
It was a race against time.
But soon, Elliot had managed to get out a few inches, still far from what he needed.
Meanwhile, the tentacle was practically in front of him. Given its position, it was going to hit him in the head, which would have been instant death.
The rat seemed desperate to stop it, but in the end, it couldn't and ended up flying backwards, hitting the wall above Elliot's head with the impact.
Elliot and the incoming tentacle were face to face.
