Chapter 87: The Heart Of The Dungeon (Part 2)

And then it happened…

A pulse. An echo.

The sound was like a drumbeat, so loud and insistent that it seemed to vibrate the very air around them.

Kai's eyes widened in shock, his instincts kicking in just in time. From the heart of the island, tendrils shot out at them faster than the eye could track.

They surged through the air like hungry serpents, aiming to strike with terrifying speed.

Without thinking, Kai and Kiara reacted as one. Kiara leapt to the left, her movements swift and graceful, while Kai dove to the right.

The tendrils slammed into the ground where they had just been, the impact sending shockwaves through the earth, and the sound of the strike echoed like thunder.

The ground around them cracked, splintering like fragile glass under the pressure.

Kai's heart raced, his breath quickening as the pulse sounded again. It was like a heartbeat, deep and rhythmic, vibrating in the air of the dungeon.
