Chapter 1252: Fighting the Octopus When the demon shot out its giant tentacles, Noel and Anna waved their swords, sending their respective sword strikes.

As if realizing the power of their attacks, the tentacles caught them and destroyed them. Of course, they were not spirit grandmasters.

Even if the enemy could catch it, it would still leave behind a big slash wound on the tentacles.

Still, the main reason why the octopus sent its tentacles was none other than to break the ice Noel made earlier.

Bam!

The tentacles smashed the ice and broke it apart. Anna leaped into the air while Noel remained in his position, causing him to fall into the water.

Noel could finally see the true appearance of the octopus. It was colossal. The body alone was 50 meters in radius. The tentacles were so long that they looked at least double, if not triple, that length.

As the creature of the sea, the octopus had no trouble moving around.

Meanwhile, Noel could feel his strength getting restrained by the water. His speed was greatly reduced, which would definitely be a problem for Noel.

Still, he had trained in a fight like this in the lake in his territory. He used his spiritual energy and rune to maintain his speed.

As a result, he managed to dodge the tentacles skillfully.

'Still, the biggest problem when fighting in the water is breathing. While I can last long without breathing, the air will be depleted pretty easily. There's a reason why martial arts are usually starting with breathing.

'The intake of air provides the necessary nutrients to the muscles. In other words, I have to keep going back and forth from the water to the surface if I want to maintain my strength.'
