>>5309643“KIIIIIII!!” it caws, feet and hands catching the beast's jaws and holding them open as Caulifla points down its throat. And her Stand unleashes a torrent of flames directly into the monster's insides, roasting it alive. As she destroys the final one with fire you swim over and grab your hammer, slinging it over your back before raising your right hand to your forehead and readying yourself to teleport to her side and reclaim your weapon. But before you do, suddenly you sense something. A dark energy, a <span class="mu-i">wrongness</span> suddenly surges through your New Salda-enhanced senses.
As you sense this darkness you turn, and see a single Hydae has awakened not too far from you. The little frog-like creature has its staff raised in both arms overhead, you getting a sinking feeling in your chest that something terrible is about to happen. You raise your hand, preparing to fire a blast to obliterate it, but the frog moves first. And to your surprise the being impales itself with the implement! Blood sprays out of the little frog creature's back, then front as well as it tears the staff free. But blood isn't all that sprays out, as hundreds of dark tentacles as big around as your shoulders somehow spring forth from the being's corpse! They consume everything in their path, the ki of thousands of Hydae simply vanishing as they disappear into those dark tendrils. Several of them charge directly towards you as well, and you try firing the blast for the Hydae at the approaching darkness. But it consumes your blast before slamming into you as well, and everything goes dark. The shadowy tendril consumes you, enveloping you in the blinding, damp, yet slightly warm darkness. And immediately feel your energy being siphoned off!
“Dammit!” you snarl as your ki is swiftly being drained, you trying to gather your energy for an Explosive Wave but can't even muster the strength to do that much. If you don't do something, this dark tendril is going to absorb every ounce of power you have!
What do you do?
>Draw upon New Salda's power, and not only your own, and try to brute force your way out of this>Telepathically reach out to Caulifla, and have her free you with your sword's magic>Try and Instant Transmission out of this power draining darkness before it's too late>Instead of letting this darkness draw out your power, try grabbing onto the energy flowing through this darkness and draw it INTO you instead>Summon Divine Dragon Force, and see if your Stand can turn this Abyssal tendril against itself>Try raising your power as high as is goes, forcing more and more energy into this darkness until your might exceeds what it can absorb>Revert back to your base form, and in that instant you're no longer touching the tendril try teleporting out of this mess>Other(write in)
