Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (24)

As the Void Maw Horror's tendrils whipped toward him with terrifying speed, Sylus instinctively leapt backward, his movements precise and swift. He narrowly dodged the first spear-like strike, the barbed tips slicing through the water mere inches from his face. His heart pounded, and he barely had time to brace himself as the creature's second tendril lunged toward him.

In a split-second decision, Sylus extended his hand and summoned a concentrated air bubble, compressing the surrounding water into a solid sphere. With a powerful thrust of his arm, he launched the bubble forward, and it exploded upon impact with the Void Maw Horror. The shockwave sent a blast of air and pressure through the water, propelling the creature backward. The tendrils flailed wildly as the explosion disrupted its graceful, fluid movements.
