Groaning, Sezel pulled himself upright with the help of the battered wall behind him and summoned the sword as a support for his injured leg.
'The core must be somewhere near.' Sezel's gaze took in the whole landscape around him.
Behind him, there was a wall of some kind of broken building, he was standing in between a major road which was elongated on either side.
And in front of him were the barricades that separated the outer grounds from the hotel where they were staying.
"Hmm... so i can't find the core and honestly, lying down and letting it all happen might be less embarrassing than dying running in circles." He announced it in a gruffy voice.
He flopped onto his back on the cold ground in an imitation of roadkill. And the tentacles that were just now moving suddenly stopped.
Sezel showed no movements, and as he expected the beast became frenzied and the several tentacles started to look around at other places for their prey that had... just disappeared.
