The three of them stared at Meg and fell into deep thought.
Meg looked at them and also fell into deep thought.
He really didn't want to show off. He … had no other choice.
"I'll just slash it once," Meg said tentatively.
"Alright, if you're a man, I'll slash it with you," Crassus said as he patted his chest.
"I can slow down its movements." Julian nodded slightly.
"I can use the Holy Light to open a path for you within the seal. However, the density of the black fog inside is unpredictable, so the time it will take may be very short. You have to return immediately after slashing it," Irina said with a smile.
"Alright." Meg nodded. He held his sword with both hands and stood in front of the altar. He exhaled softly, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"It's coming!" Irina shouted softly. A bright Holy Light shot out from her magic caster's staff and instantly illuminated the cave. It forcibly opened a path in the thick black fog and rushed straight toward the octopus monster's glabella. It left a black scorch mark several meters deep between its eyebrows, but it was still unable to cause any substantial damage to it.
Almost at the same time, Julian slammed his magic caster's staff on the ground. The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped by tens of degrees. Frost began to spread rapidly from his feet to the octopus monster. Soon, a layer of white frost condensed on the octopus monster's tentacles. The speed of its wriggling decreased visibly, and its movements were obviously slowed and restricted.
"Hey! Have a taste of my big fireball! " Julian shouted as he leaped up tens of meters high. He waved his magic caster's staff at the octopus monster, and huge red fireballs flew toward it like meteorites.
"Keke …"
The octopus monster seemed to be angered by their actions. It let out a low growl and swung its tentacles to disperse most of the fireballs. However, a few fireballs still landed on its tentacles and exploded, leaving charred marks on its body. However, the injuries were quickly healed.
"Now!"
The moment Irina's Holy Light was activated, Meg had already chased after the light and rushed into the seal. He raised his longsword and slashed down on the nearest tentacle.
The Tian Du sword was not a very sharp sword, but it was a very hard sword. Combined with his sword skills and strength, it was almost invincible.
However, when the sword landed on the tentacle, it felt as though it had slashed into a swamp. The sticky and soft sensation removed most of the force from the longsword, while the countless suction cups on the tentacle followed the momentum and firmly held onto the Tian Du sword, making it difficult for him to pull the longsword back.
Pairs of scarlet eyes were fixed on Meg, like wild beasts staring at their prey.
More tentacles were coming in his direction, which meant that the octopus monster had noticed the intruder.
His attack had failed, and his sword was stuck to the tentacle. There was probably nothing worse than this.
At that moment, Meg only had one choice, which was to abandon the sword and leave. Irina and the others should be able to leave a path for him to return.
Meg glanced at the Tian Du sword in his hand. The hilt of the sword flickered with a faint light, as though it wanted to say something.
In that split second, Meg suddenly drew Fat Head Carp from his waist and stood on the tentacle.
Clack!
With a crisp sound, the tentacle that was as thick as a human's waist broke.
"It's done!?" Meg's eyes lit up. He did not have the time to be stunned. He put Fat Head Carp back into the scabbard at his waist and carried the Tian Du sword with the tentacle on his shoulder. Then, he turned and ran.
The path left behind by the Holy Light was constantly shrinking. The black fog on both sides was crazily squirming and squeezing in. Behind him, countless tentacles were rushing toward him.
Bang!
Meg almost crashed out of the seal. He reached out and pressed his hand on the stone wall, leaving a half-foot deep palm print.
Behind him, countless tentacles crashed into the golden light wall. The light wall flickered, and the tentacles that collided with it melted away. The octopus monster also let out an angry roar.
"As expected of Alex. Such courage and boldness. There is no other person in the younger generation who can match you." Crassus looked at Meg with admiration.
"Only when you are infinitely close to death can you understand the true meaning of survival." Meg wiped off his cold sweat and tried to be as calm as possible.
"I didn't expect that this devil's tentacle could really be cut off." Julian looked at the tentacle that was still stuck on Meg's sword with surprise.
After leaving the seal, the tentacle had shrunk by more than half. However, it was still as thick as an adult's thigh. It was only one meter long, and there were eight eyes on it. After being cut off, the red light had disappeared. However, it still looked very strange and terrifying.
"This monster should have a very strong self-healing ability. The severed tentacle can be completely restored in three breaths. Therefore, it doesn't matter to it if a few tentacles are cut off." Irina looked at the octopus monster that had recovered all of its tentacles, including the injuries that Crassus had inflicted on it.
"The damage caused by the Holy Light magic is indeed more severe than ordinary magic. It's not so easy to restore." Julian looked at the wound between the octopus monster's eyebrows and said thoughtfully.
"In that seal, I can clearly feel the strength of this guy. Its body contains unimaginable energy, and it also has incomparably strong mental strength," Meg said as the only person who had entered the seal.
"It seems that we can only strengthen the seal so that it can't escape for the time being and attract its followers here. Then, we can slowly think of a way." Julian frowned and began to walk around the altar to study the ancient runes.
"If you need materials, I have some here. See if you can use them." Crassus threw a storage ring to Julian.
"I also have a batch of formation materials here." Irina waved her staff, and a pile of materials that shone with various colors appeared in front of her.
Meg quietly pulled the Tian Du sword out of the tentacle when no one was paying attention. Then, he used Fat Head Fish to cut off a section of the octopus tentacle with eyes, and said in his heart, System, hurry up and accept this fresh tentacle of the Great Old One!
"Ding! An unknown powerful creature ingredient has been detected! Checked and accepted! "
"Congratulations to the host for completing the high-level mission. You have obtained a Great Old One ingredient!"
"The test report will be sent to the host in 24 hours. Please check and accept it!"
The octopus tentacle in Meg's hand disappeared, and the system's voice sounded in his mind at the same time.
Although they didn't know what the system could detect, this was probably the only thing they could look forward to at the moment. Perhaps they could find a way to restrain this octopus monster from the test report.
The terrifying thing about the Great Old One was not how strong their physical body was, but their ability to influence and control the mental strength of creatures everywhere. Even if they were sealed thousands of meters underground and shrouded in layers of formations, they could still influence this world.
