Chapter 49

Within the endless, pitch-black ink that seemed capable of swallowing all light, the fierce battle intensified, growing ever more difficult. Yet, those fearless Guardians and the Envoys bearing a sacred mission showed not the slightest sign of retreat. Working together in seamless coordination, they faced the colossal and terrifying octopus before them, playing out a heart-pounding, spine-chilling life-or-death duel in the unfathomable depths of the undersea world. One agile Guardian moved like a lithe fish, cleverly and nimbly dodging the octopus's tempestuous tentacle attacks. Utilizing the buoyancy of the water, he swam upward at an astonishing speed. Then, leveraging the powerful momentum generated by his descent, he channeled the boundless Spiritual Power surging within him into the weapon he held tightly in his hand. In an instant, the weapon erupted with a dazzling radiance and, with the force of a thunderbolt, stabbed straight toward the octopus's menacing and terrifying eyes! Sensibly perceiving this fatal threat, the octopus frantically drove several other thick and powerful tentacles forward to protect its vulnerable eyes. With a muffled, booming crash, the tentacles collided violently with the weapon, unleashing a breath-taking shockwave. The brave Guardian was instantly blown backward a great distance by the immense force, like a kite with a severed string.
