The next moment, that tongue suddenly began to writhe and twist violently.
Lynn immediately set the Adorable Baby aside, flicked her beast ear, then gritted his teeth and turned sharply, shouting:
"Charge!"
Instantly.
Lynn (cursing internally) charged toward the central cocoon sac at unimaginable speed, gripping his knife while the tongue surged alongside him.
"Handle these tentacles! Just get me to that monster and I can save my friend!"
Lynn roared.
Upon hearing this, the tongue immediately coiled around Lynn several times, raised its tip, and began flicking like a serpent's tongue at the approaching tentacles.
And in that very next moment, the tentacles with vertical eyes launched their attack.
"Attack!"Lynn roared, pointing his knife forward.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the long, flexible tongue lashed out at unbelievable speed, directly licking one of the tentacles.
Sluurp—
A massive licking sound echoed.
Then, right before Lynn's eyes.
That enormous tentacle instantly dissolved into a pool of thick blood and pulp within that foul-smelling saliva.
[Ding! Tastes like shit, Little Treasure's favorability toward you -1]
[Ding! Really don't want to lick this, Little Treasure's favorability toward you -1]
"Good job!"
Lynn exclaimed excitedly.
He pressed down his hood and accelerated even further.
Every massive tentacle blocking their path continuously dissolved into pulp and blood under Little Treasure's disgusted licks.
One hundred meters!
Eighty meters!
Thirty meters!
Getting closer!
Even closer!
"Target 3 analysis... Colossus missing tissue... Priority level... Highest priority containment..."
"Anti-corrosion mode activated... Anti-curse mode activated... Containment initiated..."
Hum—
In that instant, Lynn suddenly saw dense, capillary-like tissue barriers appear on the tentacles that had regrown from the ground.
Thump thump thump thump—
Instantly, those tentacles shot past him at unimaginable speed, immediately wrapping around Big Tongue from all directions.
"Little Treasure!" Lynn cried out in alarm.
The entangled tongue struggled violently while secreting massive amounts of sticky fluid all over its body.
The fluid fell to the ground, instantly corroding deep trenches into the surface.
But the tentacles wrapping around it showed no fear of the corrosion.
"Squeak—"
Big Tongue emitted a piercing shriek.
But at this moment, Lynn could no longer afford to worry about it.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he charged in large strides toward the monster wrapped in countless hands.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
Crack crack crack—
The dense cluster of arms covering the monster began to split apart, revealing a massive vertical pupil slowly emerging from the opening fissure.
But just as that vertical pupil's gaze focused on him.
Lynn mustered all his strength, every tentacle on his body working together as he roared and hurled himself toward the enormous cocoon sac.
The crimson cloak flapped violently around him.
Gritting his teeth, Lynn reached out his hand as he descended from above.
Reaching toward the very center of the gigantic pupil.
"Made it!!"
In that instant.
Lynn's hand passed effortlessly through the massive pupil, and with the enhancement of the [Blood Demon Cloak], his phantom form instantly merged into the enormous cocoon sac.
Endless, squirming flesh surged wildly before his eyes.
Lynn's face contorted with fierce determination.
And in that very moment.
Locked on through Evil Spirit Vision, he grabbed hold of that already shattered arm.
The cork of the Flesh Proliferation Potion was ripped open violently.
Roaring, he pulled the nearly destroyed main body of the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit toward himself, pressing the entire bottle of Flesh Proliferation Potion against her chest.
Splash—
The moment it made contact with the potion.
Her shattered limbs began to regenerate flesh, countless evil spirit shrieks gathering and surging wildly.
As an Evil Spirit Conglomerate, how could she be so easily completely consumed!
"Just one last step!"
Lynn gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out.
[Wraith Strands]!
Instantly, several hair strands wrapped around the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit's entire body, while the other ends were shot outward with all Lynn's strength, wrapping around buildings on both sides of the street.
"Go!" Lynn roared.
In that split second.
The Wraith Strands began to tighten, dragging the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit's body—constantly being consumed yet continuously regenerating—forcibly pulling it outward.
Flesh squeezed relentlessly, the cocoon sac bulging continuously.
The monster's icy voice echoed from within.
"Target 2 consumption stripping in progress... Highest priority target switching... Target 1..."
"Ghost countermeasures activated... Consumption process initiated..."
And in this moment of target switching, Lynn in his ghost form roared toward Big Tongue outside:
"Now!"
Because through several encounters with this monster, Lynn had clearly identified its one weakness.
Every time it switched targets, there was an extreme moment of vulnerability.
And Lynn's body in ghost form also flew outward along with the massive pulling force, together with the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit.
As if hope was right before their eyes.
Lynn's pupils dilated continuously, the black fog outside rumbling as if within reach.
He stretched his hand forward with all his might.
"Ghost countermeasures activated... Consumption process initiated... Highest priority... Target 1..."
Hum—
In that instant, Lynn's flying body was suddenly constricted tightly.
Lynn's pupils also froze instantly in place.
The Wraith Strands snapped instantly the moment ghost countermeasures activated.
Just...
That final second...
And this second felt like the distance between life and death.
The Blood Fiend Cloak was instantly destroyed.
His skin immediately began to be covered by countless meat sprouts, enormous flesh walls constricting violently, his body cracking as it was twisted in half into a ball.
His consciousness seemed about to shatter along with it.
At this moment, it seemed no one would mourn for him, no one would grieve his death.
Not even anyone to witness his demise.
Was this really the end?
Was this really fate?
Would a life that had just begun be cut short halfway like this?
If that's how it must be...
Lynn, nearly crushed into a ball, painfully and contortedly raised his middle finger.
"Fuck you!"
Crack—
All the Flesh Proliferation Potions he had stuffed in his pocket were almost simultaneously crushed by the enormous pressure.
Massive amounts of potion fluid splashed and spread within Lynn's crushed and twisted flesh.
Nothing will ever end!
If death truly can't be escaped!
Then before dying, I'll definitely give you one hell of a sendoff!!
