Chapter 71

*ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAR*

A brain-rattling roar left the mouth of the woman that had now started moving at a blurring speed.

However, she was not the only thing roaring.

While yes, her roar was different from the mind-shaking screech that she had released earlier, there was something deeper about this roar.

After a few milliseconds, I felt like the area around me had visibly slowed down, as if the world had gone into slow motion and nothing mattered anymore.

The dread that followed immediately snapped me out of whatever I had been thrown in.

Out of my daze, I quickly spun my body and barely dodged a tentacle that flew toward me at lightning speed.

It wasn't that I was faster than it, it was just that I knew it was coming way before it had actually attacked me.

It was as if all my instincts were going overdrive, making sure to do everything and anything to stop me from dying a horrible and gruesome death.

With the fruit still in hand, I placed my foot on the floor and twisted my upper body causing me to spin in mid-air. place my other foot on the ground and give a roundhouse kick right into the face of the oncoming woman.

That kick, while being powerful enough to probably knock out a bodybuilder, was no more of a hindrance than a fly in front of the creature before me.

I watched as her face deformed into a smile that cut through most of her face, making a visible partition between her lower and upper jaw that went all the way back to her hairline.

*SCREEEECH*

'Crap!' I thought, yet the smile on my face showed something different.
