Crack!
Noah launched himself forward.
The ground beneath his foot fractured from the force of his push, forming a web of cracks across the muddy earth.
His sword gleamed with a sharp, pale-blue frost.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
His heartbeat thundered faster than ever.
Above him, the heavens continued their violent clash. Dark clouds spiraled across the sky as blue lightning tore through them, followed by deafening peals of thunder. Heavy rain poured down relentlessly, carried sideways by powerful winds.
Yet Noah didn't slow down. His eyes were fixed ahead. The enormous abomination suddenly raised its head.
Its single crimson eye turned toward the sky toward Akari.
SKRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!
The creature released another shrill scream. The sound tore through the forest.
Noah's head throbbed violently from that sound.
"Ugh!"
Pain stabbed through his skull, but he gritted his teeth and continued running.
'I can't stop!'
Several tentacles suddenly shot toward him.
WHOOSH!
