The tentacle tightened. Then another wrapped around her wing. And another caught her leg.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Akari was violently dragged downward. Her enormous body slammed into the earth with enough force to create a massive crater.
The impact shattered trees and sent mud, rocks, and debris flying in every direction.
"AAAAAAARGH!!!"
A scream tore from her throat. This wasn't ordinary pain. The moment the corrupted flesh touched her scales, it began to erode them.
HISSSSSSS!
Her sapphire scales darkened. Then they began to crumble.
The corrupted energy seeped through the gaps between them, eating away at everything it touched in faster speed.
Akari writhed desperately. Lightning exploded from her body.
KRAK! KRAK!
The surrounding tentacles burned, but several remained attached. Pain spread through her entire body. She had never felt this much pain before. It was too much.
Every point of contact felt as though her flesh were being dissolved from the inside.
"AAARGH!"
