Chapter 585

Taiyiro slightly relaxed, feeling as if his blood had nearly been drained away.

Fortunately, Luo En arrived in time and severed the tentacles attached to him; otherwise, he would have surely died.

He looked at Luo En with gratitude.

"I never expected you to save me twice—I truly don't know how to thank you."

Luo En said.

"As long as you survive, we survive together.

That alone counts as your thanks—don't give up so easily."

Saying this, Luo En charged forward again.

This time, he did not rush blindly ahead, but carefully chose his direction.

He knew both sides' tentacles would attack him simultaneously.

He had to pick one direction.

He quickly spotted one tentacle that seemed slightly weaker.

Taiyiro also noticed that direction and said to Luo En.

"That tentacle is thinner, but it seems to have reinforcements."

Luo En indeed saw two more tentacles hidden behind that one.

And both of those tentacles were twice as large as ordinary ones.

He hadn't expected these tentacles to employ tactics.

"I can't tell if they possess human intelligence.

The curse's power is growing stronger.

I can feel it has already surpassed its original form.

If this continues, it will surely evolve into something truly terrifying.

At that point, no sorcerer will be its match."

Saying this, Luo En clenched his fist.

"If that happens, this place will become a doomsday."

Taiyiro nodded.

"So we must stop it now, by any means necessary."

Luo En suddenly threw the broken knife from his hand.

He used all his strength—the broken knife spun rapidly and finally embedded itself in the ground.

The tentacles surged wildly toward the broken knife, as if drawn to it.

Luo En seized this opportunity and said to Taiyiro.

"Now—let's rush forward."

With that, he pushed off hard, launching himself like an arrow released from a bow toward the opposite direction.

This was his only chance—he had to seize it.

Taiyiro nodded and followed closely behind Luo En.

He swiftly swung his long blade, forming a curtain of light.

To block the tentacles surging from all directions.

Although Luo En no longer had a weapon, his speed was greater and his strength stronger.

That allowed him to swiftly evade the tentacles' attacks and reach his destination.

Before them appeared to be a black hole.

Luo En saw the black hole and felt a deep sense of familiarity.

He said.

"Could this be the same black hole I passed through before? If so,

once we pass through, use your long blade to slash rapidly.

Perhaps we can escape once again."

Taiyiro nodded.

Luo En looked at Taiyiro and whispered.

"Are you ready?"

Taiyiro said.

"Let's go—no matter what, we fight."

With that, both of them leapt into the black hole.

Inside the black hole was like an endless abyss.

Luo En and Taiyiro did not know how long they had traveled through this endless void.

They could only feel the darkness growing denser, with nothing around them.

Then, suddenly, Taiyiro spoke.

"What's that ahead?"

Luo En followed the direction Taiyiro pointed.

There appeared to be a glow, and that light seemed to cast shadows of countless tentacles.

Luo En's heart tightened immediately—he realized there were still so many tentacles here.

"Be careful—don't let those tentacles hit you."

Luo En said to Taiyiro.

Taiyaro nodded, having already drawn his long blade and swung it swiftly.

Now they were falling, with no surface to push off from.

So avoiding these tentacles was extremely difficult.

They had no choice but to engage the tentacles in a direct, brute-force clash.

A rustling sound erupted—like countless things crawling toward them.

But this was pure void; he had no idea how the sound was even reaching them.

Could there be walls nearby? Yet in the darkness, Luo En and Taiyaro saw nothing at all.

And in the faint glimmer of light that had just been visible,

they had seen no walls or anything like them.

Suddenly, countless tentacles surged toward the two of them.

Luo En roared and brought the broken blade down with all his strength.

He hoped to use the blade's sharpness to swiftly sever these tentacles.

But the tentacles clearly sensed Luo En's attack direction and dodged swiftly.

As they dodged, Luo En's body continued falling, so they rushed back in, trying to wrap around him.

These tentacles were incredibly stubborn.

At that moment, Luo En saw Taiyaro being bitten again by one of the tentacles.

This tentacle was several times larger than the others, thick and massive.

And it drained blood at an astonishing speed.

Luo En knew that if he didn't act, Taiyaro wouldn't hold on.

Luo En struck swiftly, bringing the broken blade down hard, aiming to sever that tentacle.

But the tentacle clamped tightly onto Taiyaro, unmoving.

Luo En's blade struck its body—and sparks erupted, yet the tentacle remained unharmed.

Taiyaro cried out in pain.

"Damn it, I got bitten again by this bastard."

Taiyaro's condition was dire.

He had been bitten multiple times, leaving several sets of tentacle tooth marks on his body.

Now, he'd been bitten by an even thicker tentacle, and he was bleeding faster than before.

Yet in this black hole, he had nothing to push against and no way to dodge.

The speed of their fall had no effect on the tentacles.

Luo En knew rescuing Taiyaro this time wouldn't be easy.
