Chapter 60: Against a powerful Octopus
They finally understood what the swords they had been given were for.
"Shit... Do we have to fight this thing?" Elliot complained and took several steps back alongside Jenna.
"Octopuses aren’t very fast, and their tentacles aren’t very tough. At least that’s something." Jenna smiled.
"Sigh, but I think they forgot that we’re not that strong."
"Hehe, are you scared?"
"No. I feel like I can’t wait to fight this thing."
Jenna nodded. "But I think it’s as strong as the griffin. Or stronger."
"Hehe, I guess facing that bastard took away my fear." Elliot gripped the sword in his hand and raised it slightly, pointing it at the giant octopus in front of them.
"I suppose that’s true." Jenna decided not to draw her own sword, but instead took up a fighting stance with the new sword. "I feel more eager to live now. And since there’s no other way to do that but face him, I’ll defeat him."
Both were determined to fight, no matter what. Behind them, there was no longer a door to escape through; the only door they could reach was on the other side of the room, which they could only reach by facing this huge beast.
Maybe they would die from one blow... Maybe they would meet their end in just a few seconds.
