Tentacles

In the midst of that chaotic situation, panic obviously spread fast across the deck of the "Traveling Mermaid", and Victor struggled to free the many sailors who were grabbed by the Devourer of Ships' numerous tentacles.

The cries of the sailors mingled with the sounds of battle. 

"Save Timmy!" 

"Protect Anabel!" 

"Damn monster, you're not going to kill any of our people!"

Victor was protecting the crew members who were most vulnerable while others managed to escape in time. Victor's eyes searched endlessly for any opportunity to attack, but apart from cutting tentacles, he didn't seem to be directly damaging the Devourer of Ships. 

The sea monster's tentacles seemed to multiply, wrapping around the ship like iron chains, threatening to crush the vessel and throw everyone on board into the sea. It was like fighting the raging ocean itself, a battle lost before it had even begun.
