The monster lost one of its tentacles. While it wasn't a fatal injury, its strength was significantly diminished. It had already been no match for Ethan, and now it was even more out of its depth.
Swish! Ethan's tachi sliced through the air again, severing another tentacle.
"This time, let me handle it!" Sean shouted as he sprinted forward. With a powerful leap, he threw himself onto one of the remaining tentacles, pinning it beneath him.
Sean might not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was strong. While he couldn't take on the monster head-on, holding down a single tentacle was well within his capabilities.
Seeing this, the others quickly jumped in to help.
"I'm in!"
"Let's all gang up on it! Hack it to pieces!"
"But... it's just a tentacle…"
"Doesn't matter! Hack it to pieces anyway!"
"..."
