Smack! Smack!
Slick azure tentacles lashed against the floor, each strike leaving behind a cracked indentation.
Watching the rampaging monster flail wildly at the floor, Cyril raised a hand and pushed his palm forward, shouting in Ancient Hermes, "Damaging buildings is forbidden here!"
As he pronounced the judgment, the tentacles striking the floor were blasted back by an invisible force. Scales flew off, and blood splattered everywhere.
That seemed to provoke its ferocity and madness instead. It swung even more tentacles down with greater force, battering the floor.
