'Not again!' Aditya immediately realised what had happened. Another black tentacle had appeared without any warning and wrapped itself tightly around his right leg.
Having already experienced this situation twice, Aditya reacted almost instantly. He tightened his grip around Raiketsu and raised his katana, intending to cut the tentacle before it could begin absorbing his strength.
Unfortunately, this time, Ren had prepared something different.
Before Aditya could bring his katana down, the black tentacle suddenly began splitting into several smaller tentacles. The process happened so quickly that Aditya barely had enough time to react. Within a fraction of a second, the newly formed tentacles spread across his body, moving in different directions as though each one had a mind of its own.
