Chapter: 895

*BA- BOOM!*

A flash of a white stone blinked past Blue's eyes, confusing the skeleton.

It was sure they had made it far enough; the destruction left on the root floor from the previous attack didn't even reach this far.

Yet the white stone was there, embedded deeply into the ground. How was the stone right next to it?

Sweeper was in pieces again. Its body split in to two. Bones shot off in random directions while it snapped and crushed others.

(Bring Sweeper back!) Jay ordered, watching from the edge of the room.

The root was moving back again, yet the white claw-shaped stone stayed pierced into the ground. The root tendril didn't do a crushing attack. Instead, it had whipped its body and hurled the giant stone like a projectile.

Neither Blue nor Sweeper were prepared for such an attack; only Jay realised.

"Dammit." Jay thought, "So we can't get close to the head. That just leaves one option." His eyes glanced towards the silvery portal, crackling with chaotic blue magic around the outside.


When Sweeper shattered, the bones from its lower body spread across the root covered floor… and disappeared.

Jay squinted, watching thoughtfully. "Hmm… if the floor here is collecting bones, maybe it can spawn Ova here, too. But then, why are there no Ova here in the first place? Did no one ever make it through the passageway?" he wondered.

Blue pulled Sweeper's body from under the white claw-like stone, having to snap away some of its spine as it pulled out its upper body.

Sweeper wrapped its arms wrapped around Blue's neck, yet even after the attack it still gripped its sword firmly.

Jay smiled a little as he watched Blue wearing Sweeper like a backpack. They both rushed back, getting further away from the giant root tendril, which rose into the air once more.

The white pointed stone, which was embedded into the ground, moved again as the living root floor slowly pulled it back to the tentacle structure.

"Reloading? It won't be long before it attacks again." Jay thought.

"But how will I get close enough to kill the giant head, or to even analyze it? I don't want to deal with damn giant tentacles as well." He shook his head.

Jay continued to walk towards the portal while he waited for Blue to bring Sweeper back.

Meanwhile, Handy and Lamp had made it to the portal.

The portal was, thankfully, at the very edge of the room and made to look as if it were a part of the wall. Far away from any swatting tentacles.

It was about three times as tall as Jay, and the root that continually pumped the milky-white fluid blocked half of it.

Jay paused for a moment and watched the head as he gave direct orders to Handy and Lamp.

(Being cutting open the root.)

Jay's eyes remained fixed on the head while the skeletons brought their swords down, creating gashes in the large root.
