Kidnapped to Another World

Chapter 76

Dreamweaver Chapter 76

We stand getting ready with our weapons for all hell to break lose.

It's only a matter of time...

The water pool suddenly erupted in a shower of mad fury, flowing out in all directions and in the air. The sheer force of all of that water moving outward like a bomb like huge wave got all of us wet. But it wasn't a bomb; it was like some sheer huge gravity had tipped the 'floor' to the wall instead. We can feel the air is heavy here and something huge is flowing out of it. The water is pushed way outside of the pool's range in just one violent wave that hits the opposing cavern walls. It was something big, something reckless violent strength and power, not to mention heavy in weight.

"Crap, our spare gear just got drenched," Rina whispers after we avoided getting washed away by the massive wave. We did lose our balance though and had to get back up.

I helped Asakura stand back up, pulling her up with my hand. Then Rina tried to stand up right after that.

"Shoot, we're going to have wet stuff all over again," Asakura said. "Technically it's more like junk than gear though," she added.

Rina looks like she wants to retort, but she just shrugs instead. "Secondhand goods?"

"Oh, I sometimes forget you guys have been salvaging things you can find when I'm doing other things. I'm sorry," I said, empathetic to both of them.

Of course the things they'd salvaged weren't things of value, but mostly sentimental. They'd salvaged seeds to grow underground farm plants from the gnomes earlier, and scraps of cloth that they wanted to sow into more clothes, and other things. They'd just lost a whole bunch of things of sentimental and so basic a value that I felt a lot of pity right now for them. They also looked a bit teary eyed.

I can see them feeling bad not only because the stuff got all wet but because they'd gotten spilled around.

If I held the stuff for them in my item box it would make them think I'm some kind of beck and call service for them. That idea gives me a headache. I better not suggest it.

"What the fudge is that?!" Asakura is totally freaking out, pulling me back to the matter at hand. I mean the goblins had her already unnerved but now she's like on the verge of losing it. Rina is too stunned to even say anything except her mouth is hanging open.

Tentacles? A tentacle monster of some kind like a squid? Or something else?

No wait, it's something else. But I'm not sure what. But I can feel that its something very dangerous. Its so far the most dangerous think we'd seen on this world so far, even dwarfing the ogres we'd encountered.

Sure enough with lightning speed, one of the tentacles scoops up one of the goblins hungrily and he gets bitten in half. It happened so fast I forgot to blink! But because of the water sloshing around, we didn't get a good look at its mouth. I only saw a brief half second of some kind of teeth at the surface of the dark water?

Then it spat out the skull against some rocks, with it awash in blood.

Then one after another with ease it gulps down several goblins, belching forth odd gas, as its acid instantly devours their flesh inside it!

Aren't the tentacle thing and the goblins supposed to be on the same side though? Why did he get eaten? Was it some kind of punishment for cowardice?

Everyone is yelling in every direction now in full panic.

Gulp!

Then a dwarf gets grabbed lightning fast and is swallowed whole!

I hope I can forget those screams!
