“Ugh… Haaa….”
Yu Parang, waking up.
The last day of the East Sea exploration had dawned.
Since the exploration’s objective had already been achieved, she planned to quickly end the broadcast after capturing the Brachium.
‘Hmm.’
Parang thought briefly about the characteristics of Brachium.
‘Can I capture it without the Kraken?’
To be honest, she wasn’t sure.
The strategy to capture the monster Brachium itself wasn’t standardized.
More precisely, there was too little re
In the dark underwater cave, countless human arms.
The fear, dissonance, and eeriness from the unnaturalness and grotesqueness were palpable.
The numerous white arms swayed, some stiffened, and others trembled grotesquely while bent.
As a monster that emerged from a gate, Brachium would consider Parang a top-tier prey.
The moment it sensed her, it would act immediately.
But Parang approached Brachium.
Slowly, slowly.
Unfortunately, Parang did not have any techniques to erase her presence.
So, if she was detected, she was prepared to strike.
Naturally, her movements were cautious and quiet.
As she approached Brachium, she examined it closely.
At first glance, it matched the descriptions she had heard from others, but there was one difference.
‘A sphere.’
At the center of the numerous arms were arms holding up a sphere.
Parang did not know what it was or if it was part of Brachium.
Perhaps this monster was a separate species very similar to Brachium.
Tap-.
Finally, Parang reached the outermost arm of Brachium’s space.
An arm bent at the elbow in an L-shape, completely still. It was about 10 meters long.
It extended from a crevice in the rock, looking as if it had burst through the ground.
She thought it might be a bit soft since it was an arm, but when she touched it lightly with her hand, it was very hard.
The first thing Parang did upon seeing it was,
Thud- Thud.
Clear away the surrounding rocks.
Logically, beneath the rocks, there should be something essential, whether it was Brachium’s main body or something else.
Her goal was to see that.
No matter how indestructible an object was, it was possible to move something that was already separated.
Parang lifted and moved rocks as big as her body.
While her strength was considerable, the surprisingly light weight of these rocks, despite their appearance, also played a part.
One by one, as she removed the rocks, the shape of Brachium buried beneath them was revealed.
However, Parang did not get a chance to observe that shape.
“■■ ■.”
A sound came from behind her. She couldn’t tell if it was a voice, a cry, the sound of waves, rocks colliding, or arms swinging.
When Parang turned around, she found herself in the middle of Brachium’s space.
The sphere being held up was right in front of her face.
Somehow, her body was now held by numerous arms.
Small arms sprouted from the fingers of the large arms, and tiny fingers from those small arms, wrapping around her entire body.
‘Damn…!’
It wasn’t a hallucination. Such things wouldn’t work on Parang.
Brachium had moved. She didn’t know how.
Silently, without any movement. Directly towards her. Precisely.
Even without her feeling it touch her body.
‘Damn…!’
It was a predicament.
And then Brachium opened its eyes.
A pupil grew from the giant white sphere.
Blue. Deep space. The color of home.
[Skill, ‘Waterproof Sanity’ is activated.]
Parang quickly made a decision and took action.
[Skill, ‘Aqua Pulse’ is activated.]
In an instant, a wave burst from Parang’s body, causing the surrounding arms to stop moving.
They were paralyzed.
She threw a harpoon, piercing Brachium’s eye.
“■■ ■….”
Shrrr.
It seemed that was the weak point. Brachium collapsed instantly, turning into a magic stone.
It was an anticlimactic and feeble end.
Parang quickly turned on her phone to check the broadcast status.
[This broadcast has ended.]
It seemed Silo had forcibly ended it.
She fervently hoped that it was just her own blunder and nothing more.
Parang desperately wished that nothing had happened to the people beyond the monitor.
But her eyes froze on the last messages left by the viewers just before the broadcast ended.
─ Open your eyes.
─ Open your eyes.
─ Open your eyes.
─ Open your eyes.
─ Open your eyes.
─ Open your eyes.
‘Ah.’
This was bad.
Parang immediately started swimming upwards.
