Chapter 248: The Scylla
Dasha rose to his feet. The monstrous maiden known as Scylla was ferocious with dark green hair that went down her back, red eyes lacking a human’s pupils, and a slimy green complexion. Hovering around her were the six hydra heads. Then, dipping in and out of the waters were her tentacles, so fast that he could barely keep track of them.
His Qi Sense reached out. The tentacles did not react and he leapt back to create further distance. The distance between himself and Scylla was over forty feet now.
’Those dragon heads and tentacles...I’ll have to look out for both.’ Dasha raised a hand. ’Black Cards.’
Appearing between his fingers were the cards of darkness. Scylla let out a roar and lashed her tentacles at him. Dasha remained still.
’Seven, eight, twelve, fifteen...’
Snap! They reached their end. ’Fifteen feet long,’ he calculated. Several of the tentacles were fifteen feet. ’Some are twenty feet.’
Scylla began to move. As if he would let that happen.
Dasha burst forward, the black cards between his fingers thickening, black gauntlets growing blacker, and activated Qi Sense. At full speed, he was considerably slower than the tentacles. The water splashed behind at every intense step.
What were twelve green limbs became a hundred as they flew at him. Dasha leapt in tiny increments to cleanly twist his body and propel through. No wasted momentum. Another ten tentacles arrived in blurs. He dodged them too. If he got caught, then Scylla would bite his head off with the hydra heads. Game over.
