Eder swung his mace, hitting the last remaining tentacle.

Heavy Blow!

Bang!

Heavy Blow caused a tiny explosion and the stinger portion of Gureko's tentacle fell to the floor.

Gureko absorbed what was left of the tentacle.

Kura!

Gureko shrieked and its eyes radiated light as its body began to shake.

Fssssh!

Suddenly, the Gureko's tail area sounded like a deflating balloon. 

"It's letting out gas," Eder yelled.

It wasn't just letting out gas.

Gureko was releasing black smoke from its tail area. It was the very same smoke that resulted from the Tardens' acid touching the water.

Of course, that wasn't all.

Gureko, which had once remained frozen in place, began to move.

It moved its fins across the mudflat like a goby fish, charging violently at Eder.

Think about it. How would you feel if a 5 meter tall boss monster that was even wider than it was tall came rushing at you all of a sudden?

Not only that, it was rushing towards you at a speed you hadn't thought possible!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The ground shook under its rushing.

"Dodge!" Kang Oh yelled at Eder.

Kang Oh knew that they couldn't afford to take Gureko's charge head-on.

Eder was of the same mind.

He'd finally obtained a body he liked, so he couldn't afford to lose it by getting tackled by a monkfish-looking...
