“GRRROOOAAAAR!!” your Stand roars as it blazes to life around your arm, crimson scales somehow shining in the darkness enveloping you. Your Stand immediately knows your goals, and lunges forward into the dark. Its eyes blaze with crimson light, and suddenly the drain on your energy simply stops. The darkness around you begins to seemingly dissolve as well, and after a few seconds you're free.
“DADDY!!” Caulifla shouts, dashing down and tackling you. “I was so worried when your ki disappeared, I thought you died!”
“Sorry to worry you kiddo.” you say, holding her as you turn to look at the mess of tentacles. The one that'd grabbed you finishes disappearing, and the mass of tentacles begin all drawing back towards the central mass. But as they do, you sense a mass of ki beginning to gather at the center of it and you have a terrible feeling that whatever appears can't be good. Not with all the energy it absorbed from you, and all the living beings it completely consumed. “We gotta get back. Before-”
“GYOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!”
A massive roar accompanies a giant form as it burst from that mass of darkness, you holding onto your daughter and leaping back and away as the new abomination emerges. It looks similar to the ones you've seen before, except with pincers and a hardened shell on it's head like the Rak'kari. No doubt from those who's bodies it had absorbed. This beast is massive, its eyes each larger than your head and boasting a powerlevel that could prove fatally dangerous to even you. Thanks undoubtedly to your energy it stole before you were able to escape with Divine Dragon Force. The titanic monstrosity continues to emerge from the darkness, it's body longer than anything you've encountered so far.
“Karn, what the hell is going on down there?” Meloka suddenly <span class="mu-i">thinks</span> to you, your wife clearly worried at this monstrous powerlevel's sudden appearance. “What just happened?”
“Long story short, just had some of my energy stolen by the darkness, and it helped make this monster.” you reply, turning your gaze from the massive abomination and searching for your sword. You look over the different Mindslayers your daughter killed, each one trialing blood as they drift towards the seafloor, but you don't spot your ancient sword anywhere. Where is it?
