Chapter 44: Between Continents(3)
As he was running away countless other fleshy apparitions began trying to grab him, there were claws, hands, the aforementioned tentacles, claws belonging to a grab, moving twigs and even just skeletal excesses that seemed to move without being connected to anything.
But not only those fleshy apparitions that seemed to be made for grabbing, crushing, cutting or suffocating were created, instead countless different beings spread out throughout the whole world, Cades could see faces resembling those of birds, of krakens all connected to the aforementioned incredibly long, growing necks that seemed to be run through with bones that were as elastic as gum.
Not only animalistic faces were visible though, there were mainly oceanic faces, countless krill, countless shrimp forms, albeit that they were miniature and tiny, the faces that were on it were countless, they all sprung out of the fleshy, infinitely extending mass, pulsating and causing gigantic waves to run throughout the entire, already stormy, ocean.
And yet there were screaming faces resembling those of humans that were rapidly approaching the fleeing, tiny snack which to the kurakkan probably seemed like a tiny energy drink of pure, condensed mana.
Cades, who was blindly flying away, with his arms being aligned in the wind but still visibly shaking at the horrid being that was extending countless greedy maws towards it, so much so that he didn't even notice that a humanlike face with one, gigantic eye in the middle of its forehead and gigantic canines protruding from its mouth that was opened at an unbelievable anger and ready to bite down and devour Cades if it had only been a few dozen feet closer.
But as it was grossing in a horrendous storm began raging all around the infinitely extending, growing masses with the now extending mountainous excesses growing higher and higher and forcing Cades to looking everywhere, including behind him and growing even more scared of the grotesque monster that was so intent on devouring him.
And if that wasn't already enough the air was starting to get too thin, even for him, as they had already passed the clouds resulting in an added problem being that he had been blinded by the clouds for about a minute in which his face had been whipped by the endless water-drops within the gigantic, seemingly endless, grey cloud.
And, finally, when the mass that the endless monster was able to send up here, though it probably didn't try all to hard as the gigantic body of the monster still, almost entirely, resided under the blanket of the endless blue, though most of the blue had now been cleared away and been replaced by a underlying blackness had caught up to him and one of the smaller but undeniably swifter tendrils had slithered around his ankles and was trying to stop him from ascending even further.
Cades, who was barely able to think because of the thin air and the sheer panic that the grotesque being's tendril that was still covered in the very same black goo as it had always been covered in brought up.
Because of the panic he didn't even try to remove the tendril at first, he simply continued flying, and not only because of the fact that the black goo had basically eliminated the feeling in his entire body and even turned his vision blurry, but also because of the terror that he felt, he barely had any mind to care for anything else than escaping.
That was all he could think of, he had to escape, he fought to survive all this time, he had slain countless beings to avenge his everything, to gain the power and destroy all those that had caused the downfall of his everything, that had taken everything that was good, those that were the cause of all.
