Damn it!
Watching her own body being sliced into pieces, Riful, who had just lost Dauf, finally went berserk.
She stopped her pointless attempts to dodge and used some kind of transmutation-type ability to reconnect her severed tentacles.
Caught off guard, Ine Lily had her rear leg and waist seized in a Death Coil.
Riful's tentacles possessed more than mere length and resilience. Their strength also far exceeded anyone's imagination.
