บท 74: Unexpected Attack

The creature had the bulbous body of a seal, with many sharp tails like those of a squid. It had no face, only a circular salivating maw which housed many reams of needle-like teeth that it had used to chew through the chasm ceiling. 

The only redeeming feature it had, giving its nightmarish appearance, was that it was hopelessly blind. 

As I watched, it hurled itself through the opening, falling from the fractured ceiling into open air. With nothing to hang on to, its scaly tentacles flailed around like whips, stabbing everything in sight as they tried to hang on.

I barely avoided getting impaled and swiftly launched myself out of the way, just as its tentacles lodged themselves into the walls above me.

But the other wasps around were not so lucky, many of the egg wasps flying were skewered instantly by the monster's attack, the numerous membrane covered clutches they carried sent flying in a cascade of eggs from above.
