Rooting out the Threat, the Eye Beast Falls!

Amid the boundless chaos.

The octopus monster was fleeing for its life.

Streaks of light hurtled backward around it.

As it ran, it used its tentacles to erase every trace it left behind.

The old monster screamed at the top of its lungs, its face filled with terror.

"You put too much faith in your racial talents."
