A True Monster

A dreaded silence enshrouded the area.

The four overseers and Susan saw the grey goo wiggling as if trying to gain its shape. The line in the sky through which the grey goo fell disappeared and so did the system notifications. Nobody could tell what was happening.

"Henry, come with me. We'll check what that is."

"St..o...p" Even breathing had become an arduous task for Leon. His high perception, alarming him of the danger was making his nerves go haywire.

Satoru beckoned Henry and both of them headed toward the grey goo cautiously.

At the same time, the grey goo succeeded in forming a grey tentacle. The monster looked at its new limb and the cadets with fascination. 

"Cadet Le-!"

Swosh-!

Thud- (x4)

The monster swung its tentacle, and the sound of four heavy objects falling to the ground followed. Soon accompanied by the noise of four headless corpses dropping.
