"Are you insane?! It grew this big in two years?!"
The Flesh Pillar was already huge enough. Linden had thought Kees had turned himself into a long strip, only to find that this was just a tentacle?
The lump of flesh in the center made even an oversized Giant Puji like Cave Four look tiny beside it.
Simply rising from the sea sent up massive waves that threw the Fungal Fortress army's formation into chaos all over again.
And beneath the skin of that mass of flesh, there was an enormous thing glowing with black light.
The Sword Saint recognized it at a glance. "The Abyss Core?"
"That thing inside Kees is the Abyss Core?!" Linden could not be blamed for not recognizing it. Though he had heard of it, this was his first time seeing an active Abyss Core.
Linden seemed to understand why Kees had become connected to the abyss.
On the other side, although those pillars of flesh could not twist and attack as flexibly as real tentacles, the beings fused into them launched attacks one after another under Kees's command.
At the same time, many valves opened across the surface of the central mass of Kees's flesh, and Evil Eyes, Tentacle Beasts, and large numbers of all kinds of other insects swarmed out.
Kees had staked everything he had!
Some charged at the Fungal Fortress army, while the rest rushed toward the female Hero's ship.
Following the direction of Kees's attack, a Scout Puji flew a long distance through the sky before finally locating that ship.
Linden's gaze swept past Bella and landed on the blonde woman's Panel.
