Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 371 Tentacles

The moment I stepped into the dead season, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

It's like suddenly going deaf, like the world being put on pause.

Anne was so oppressed by the silence that she curled her fingers. Just as she was about to speak and break the boundless quiet, she saw Saul raise his index finger.

Silence.

Thor was also feeling repressed, but the more he repressed, the less he could vent his frustrations.

He discovered that his spiritual body stopped fluctuating after entering the Death Season, but at the same time he also felt an immense pressure surrounding him.

But when he cautiously scanned his surroundings, he couldn't find the source of the pressure.

"Could it be that Kong Sha and the others are relying on the Death Season to calm the shock to their spiritual bodies? If so, it's possible that they can hold out in this place for more than half a year."

At this moment, Agu gently patted Thor on the shoulder and pointed in the direction they had come from, urging him to look.

Thor turned his head and saw that the sparse trees at the end of the forest were still there, but there were more human figures standing with their hands hanging down.

But the enemy, who had just been attacking them, now stood quietly on the edge like tamed lambs, neither moving nor making a sound.

Since these strange humanoid figures didn't move, Thor naturally didn't want to provoke them any further.

Their clear sense of boundaries is unsettling.

Even though he was looking down, Thor felt a silent gaze upon him.

It's definitely not possible to go back now.

Thor gently placed the object down—the mental shock to the two consciousnesses had subsided, and they were in much better condition than before.

He looked towards the distance from the forest, where a towering mountain rose abruptly at the edge of the scorched black earth.

The mountain was steep, and the mountain walls, like the land beneath Thor's feet, were dark brown, without a single blade of grass or tree.

It was like a raging fire that completely destroyed everything.

Thor's intuition told him that he should not go near that mountain.

At that moment, he decided to walk along the boundary between the forest and the Dead Season, neither leaving the Dead Season nor straying far from the forest.

The group gradually approached the palace ahead.

However, just as Thor was considering whether to enter the palace now or wait for the strange humanoid figures in the forest to disappear before entering the palace with Kongsa and the others, he suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet.

Just as he was about to move his feet and adjust his center of gravity, he found that the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled, and then suddenly he was lifted up, and a sharp point appeared directly.

Thor and his companions immediately moved aside.

But before they could even get a firm footing, the ground beneath their feet began to churn again.

The black earth seemed to come alive, every part of it trembling.

Thor immediately crouched down, supporting himself with one hand on the ground to lower his center of gravity.

He looked down and saw something black rushing towards him, so he quickly cast a spirit armor spell.

"Thump!"

Before Thor could even see who the enemy was, he felt himself being knocked away.

"Owner!"

An immediately ran over.

"I'm fine," Thor said in a low voice, staggering a couple of steps after landing.

Meanwhile, Agu unleashed a beam of light as thick as a wrist, striking the shadowy figure that had attacked Thor.

The shadowy figure was pierced through, its front end broke off, and it fell to the ground.

Only then did the group realize what had attacked Thor.

It was a black tentacle as thick as a thigh!

And it looks very familiar!

"This, isn't this your little algae, Master?" An also recognized it and said in surprise.

Thor glanced at it again, then shook his head. "This is the Soul Devouring Swamp, not my Little Algae."

At that moment, another black tentacle emerged from the writhing ground and stabbed straight at Agu.

Agu cast another level 1 Holy Light Ray, easily interrupting it.

"Watch out!" Thor, who was watching from the side, widened his eyes and, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere around him, shouted a warning to Agu.

At the same time, Agu also heard a sharp whistling wind. It was so fast that, coupled with his unsteady footing and lack of agility, he could only raise his left hand to shield his right cheek.

A shield had just appeared to Agu's right when it was shattered by a black tentacle as thick as a person's embrace.

Just as Agu was about to be struck by the suddenly appearing, even larger tentacle, a semi-transparent hand suddenly appeared behind Agu, grabbing his collar and pulling him backward sharply.

"boom!"

The enormous black tentacle fell, smashing a deep crater into the already cracked earth.

Agu stumbled and fell to the ground at the edge of the deep pit.

If he had just been hit, regardless of the state of his consciousness, the vessel would certainly be destroyed.

Thor withdrew his hand; he had just used his mage's hand to pull Agu away, but then he heard a familiar whooshing sound.

He shoved An, who was still in shock, aside and jumped backward with all his might.

Another black tentacle, as thick as an elephant's leg, brushed past the two of them and plunged viciously into their feet.

Thor could have used magic to block or jump away, but at the last moment, he chose to jump using only his physical strength.

Agu had just gotten up from the ground and was about to come over when he saw Thor make a gesture to him.

stop!

Behind Agu was another giant tentacle raised high, but Thor told him to stop.

He was somewhat puzzled, but he stubbornly resisted the immense pressure coming from behind him and did not move.

The next second he discovered that the tentacles behind him were also attacking Thor.

Thor stomped hard on the shaking ground, sending himself flying. But before he could land, the third tentacle swept across.

Ann had just turned her gaze away from the large crater that had been smashed into the ground when she saw Thor being besieged by several tentacles.

She widened her eyes beneath the black cloth and suddenly cried out, "I understand! Master, don't come any closer!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her arms wide, her fingertips melting and turning into countless blood vessels.

The three enormous tentacles that were chasing Thor just a second ago immediately turned and headed toward Anne.

When Thor chose to jump away to avoid the tentacles, he was already guessing whether these tentacles attacked people based on magical fluctuations.

But even when he stopped using witchcraft, the newly grown giant tentacles continued to attack him.

In the final moments, three tentacles, each as thick as an elephant's leg, launched an attack simultaneously from different directions.

Thor dodged awkwardly, almost having to resort to witchcraft.

Ann suddenly used her unique, unknown witchcraft to lure it away, relieving Thor's crisis, but at the same time attracting a fourth and a fifth, even thicker tentacle.

Thor quickly scanned the white figure on the other side of the forest, then looked at the figure that was constantly attacking Ann, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Run to the palace, let's relay!"

Agu and Ann were both very clever; they instantly understood what Thor meant.

However, just as Thor was about to cast a new spell to lure the tentacles over, suddenly, the ground beneath their feet shook violently, moving up and down by more than a meter!

Thor's mental focus, which he had just activated, was interrupted by the sudden increase in the intensity of the tremor.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet transformed into massive, intertwined, black tentacles!

They were densely packed, intertwined and wriggling, from near to far, without exception.

They felt like they had fallen into a giant python's den!

If you accidentally change your standing position and center of gravity, you will be trapped in the gaps between the tentacles by their undulating wriggling motion.

Looking at the bottomless mass of black tentacles, Thor felt a chill run down his spine.

Even with his current physical strength, he would probably be pulverized if he got caught in it!

But what's even more terrifying is yet to come.

More and larger tentacles emerged from the ground. The tentacles grew even larger the closer they were to the distant mountains.

The furthest point visible to the naked eye was a tentacle as thick as a small mountain.

These enormous and terrifying tentacles reach towards the sky and sway constantly with the rise and fall of the earth, like seaweed in the deep sea.

But Thor can imagine that once you get entangled in these "seaweeds," they will do their best to drown you underwater!

These tentacles exuded a terrifying pressure, almost suffocating him. Especially the mountain-like tentacles in the distance; even from this distance, the pressure they exerted on Thor was the greatest!

Looking at the dense black tentacles around him, if Thor were to cast another spell, he would likely be attacked by dozens of tentacles at the same time.

Just then, Ann, who was barely holding off the tentacles around her with her bloodshot eyes, screamed, "Don't worry about me, let's go to the palace!"

The blood vessels on her hands were currently resisting five enormous tentacles, and it seemed she wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth, and another stream of blood spurted out, reaching between Thor and Agu, forcefully tearing apart the two tentacles and allowing them to see the palace not far away.

The ground near the palace was still soil and had not turned into a tangled mass of tentacles!

Thor and Agu turned around at the same time, stepping on the constantly writhing tentacles, and ran with all their might toward the passage that Ann had opened for them.

After running a few steps, Agu couldn't help but look back and was horrified to see that An's limbs had turned into blood streaks, pulling at the tentacles to keep them away.

But the next second, a black tentacle with a diameter of three meters descended from the sky.

She forcefully slammed the tentacles below and those surrounding her into the ground!

Sorry, it's my elder's birthday in the family, so I'm only starting to write now. I'll post whatever I write today.
