Reading the magic incantation, Kuroneko chanted, "Dark Magic: Shadow Tentacles!"
Instantly, the shadows around him seemed to come alive, swirling and coiling like serpents.
From the darkness, multiple tentacles formed, each one as black as the void, pulsing with an ominous energy. The tentacles snaked forward, moving with unnatural speed and precision.
The first guard barely had time to react before a tentacle wrapped around his ankle, yanking him off his feet with a forceful pull.
"Arghh—!"
He screamed, but it was cut short as another tentacle coiled around his neck, tightening until his face turned blue. In moments, his lifeless body was tossed aside.
The second guard attempted to draw his weapon, but the shadow tentacles were relentless. One struck his hand, knocking the gun away, while another latched onto his torso, lifting him into the air.
