The ice layer was collapsing, and amid the thunderous noise akin to the sky shattering and the earth splitting, a tentacle furiously surged upward from beneath the ice. It resembled a whip, and as it swung upward, the tip lashed about, breaking and shattering the ice layer, with the resultant huge chunks of ice hurtling through the air like boulders flung from a catapult... Then, the mountain-like tentacle finally revealed itself before everyone, the erected appendage resembling a tower reaching to the heavens, with sucker after sucker bulging outward, and a ring of sharp teeth around the edges, slowly opening and closing, writhing.
"Too colorful..." Sherry muttered under her breath.
"???!"
Ybur was a mix of shock and rage, "Sherry! We're in a life or death situation, and you're still spouting nonsense!!"
As he spoke, the tentacle came crashing down.
It was like a column from heaven had collapsed.
