Chapter 35: Linsley Goes All Out!



[Cerberus, however, was unfazed by the onslaught. Its three heads opened their jaws wide, revealing an abyssal darkness within.]

[As the icicles closed in, Cerberus bit down into the space before it, and with a terrifying display of power, the very fabric of reality seemed to tear apart.]

[The icicles were sucked into the void created by Cerberus's bite, disappearing into the blackness as if they had never existed.]

[The space itself seemed to ripple and distort around the monstrous beast, rendering all of Evangeline's attacks useless.]

[However, even though Evangeline's attacks were rendered useless, they served a critical purpose in stalling Cerberus.]

[Seizing the opportunity, you immediately took action, commanding two hundred tentacles to surround and bind Cerberus.]

[For a brief moment, Cerberus was restrained by your tentacles, and you attempted to crush it with sheer force.]

[But to your surprise, Cerberus's body proved far more durable than you anticipated, resisting the full strength of your tentacles.]

[Cerberus barked loudly, caught off guard by the invisible tentacles. Nevertheless, it quickly reacted by opening its jaws wide and biting at the space in front of it, consuming the very fabric of reality.]

[As space itself was devoured, fifty of your tentacles were destroyed along with it.]

[You thought in surprise, 'This is the first time someone has managed to destroy my tentacles. Most opponents don't even survive long enough to react, as they can't see the attack coming and are caught off guard.']

['Although Cerberus was similarly caught off guard, it still managed to destroy my tentacles with its attack. Its body is durable enough to withstand the crushing force of my two hundred tentacles.']

[Realizing the exaggerated power of Cerberus, which continued to consume more of your tentacles, you informed Evangeline, "Hellhound is likely an avatar master who has achieved an evolution of his avatar. In other words, Hellhound might have already absorbed thirteen avatar crystals."]

["The reason he lost easily earlier was because he was caught off guard by my initial attack. Otherwise, he might have had other abilities brought by his avatar's evolution."]

[All of this happened in a fraction of a second, and you immediately moved outside to confront Cerberus before it could hit the ground.]

[Stepping outside, you decided to unleash your full power against Cerberus, releasing five thousand tentacles in total!]

[As the tentacles surged from your body, you felt an overwhelming surge of power, as if your entire being was brimming with unstoppable force.]

[The sheer magnitude of your power was staggering, and in your perspective, it was as if the sky itself was dyed in a deep purple hue, dominated by the immense presence of your invisible tentacles.]

[Cerberus, still airborne and struggling to regain its balance, was immediately met with the crushing force of a thousand tentacles. Despite its best efforts, it could barely hold back the onslaught.]

[The beast thrashed and fought, its three heads snapping at the air, attempting to bite through the tendrils binding it, but it was a futile effort.]

[The combined might of your tentacles not only crushed and cut Cerberus, but also began to seal and negate its powers. The sheer number of tentacles overwhelmed the beast's defenses, forcing its once terrifying abilities to falter and weaken.]

[But when the full force of five thousand tentacles descended upon Cerberus, there was no longer any hope for the creature.]

[The immense pressure crushed its body from all sides, while countless tendrils sliced through its tough hide, cutting it apart with merciless precision.]

[Every attempt by Cerberus to retaliate was met with the sealing power of your tentacles, rendering its attacks ineffective and nullifying its strength.]

[Cerberus's defiant roars echoed across the battlefield, but they grew weaker with each passing second. Finally, the creature's energy began to dissipate, its form disintegrating as its life was extinguished.]

[As the last of Cerberus's energy was exhausted, its massive body crumbled into nothingness, leaving behind only traces of the beast that once was.]

[The sky, once dominated by the invisible force of your tentacles, now returned to its normal state as you retracted your power.]

[Witnessing Cerberus' death, you sighed, "Finally, it's all over."]
