There was no time to worry about anything else. After opening the door, they would have to face the tidal wave rushing towards them.
The deep blue light bloomed on the deck. Almost the moment the ritual was activated, countless tentacles, as thick as arms, impatiently emerged from within.

They saw the waves crash against the ice walls, and the aftershocks made them feel like their bodies were about to fall apart.
