Bab 70: Pause

Kairos recalled Sam's description of his mother, Ananta, earlier. He said that there were red tentacles sprouting from her body, and each should have had considerable amounts of power.

As for the monster chasing them, it also had tentacles.

Though they were far more massive than Kairos could've ever imagined.

And as he expected, once the monster got closer, he was able to confirm that it really was his mother. Except, she looked quite different.

Ananta used the red tentacles to walk as though she was a spider, crushing through buildings and rushing through the air very quickly. It looked as though the entirety of her back was no longer there, replaced by a hole that held tentacles larger than her.

As for her body, it was significantly reddened, to the point it was on the same level of actual monsters. There were also large bulging blue veins snaking through the entirety of her body, almost looking like cracks.
