Chapter 241 – The Kraken Attack (3)
The third day since the battle with Kraken Jr.
The cleaning is finally over.
All of the Kraken Juniors who climbed up through the open barriers turned into fishy corpses, and the number of eggs floating on the sea also decreased significantly.
Judging by the drastic drop in the concentration of magical energy around the sea, it seems that spawning is about to end.
“It will move slowly.”
The moment that giant squid reveals itself on the surface of the water is the real beginning.
Han Joo-hee, Kim Tae-yang, and our Namgung-hyung.
How will these three deal with Kraken?
“It doesn’t matter anyway…”
Whatever it is, I want the loss of life and property to be as minimal as possible.
Those who lost their colleagues and family and cried.
I hope there are no people who lose their place to return and fall into despair.
It was painful to see the faces of those people.
A bit too much.
“Guys, you worked hard!”
When we return to the rear area, Juyeon runs over and hugs us as if she had been waiting.
I feel guilty every time my face rubs against my voluptuous breasts.
I hate myself laughing helplessly at that feeling even though I say I shouldn’t be doing this.
“I’m not hurt today, huh.”
Just like yesterday, Jooyeon Han nodded with a satisfied expression after checking our body condition.
“Your work is done now, are you going back right away?”
I shook my head at the boy’s question.
“Hmm… , No. I’m going to stay a little longer.”
I’m curious about how to catch the Kraken, and I have an appointment with Han Joo-hee.
Likewise, Seoyeon, who was worried, also quietly shook her head.
“Me too… , I want to stay a little longer.”
Even holding Kraken Jr. Like that, he still has a lingering expression on his face.
Still, there will be no more sudden action than this.
What can he do
An S-class hunter will open his eyes wide and appear at the place where he is fighting, what will he do?
After hearing our words, Han Joo-yeon leaves a request in a worried tone.
“Ha… , I don’t know why I’m so worried because I’m leaving you guys behind.”
A question mark hangs over me and Seo-yeon’s head at the sudden remark.
“Where are you going?”
“Yes… , Didn’t I tell you? This time, we were together during the Kraken attack.”
It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.
Didn’t you say that you came to support the injured in the rear when you first came?
“Didn’t you come here for the rear support?”
“Originally it was…”
Han Joo-yeon smiled awkwardly.
“The association has officially requested a buffer.”
“Aha…”
Certainly, Juyeon’s buff is delicious.
Even in Korea, no, even in the world, there are not many people with better buff abilities than Juyeon.
A saint from the Vatican, a witch from the underworld, and a commander on the battlefield.
Except for those who are famous or infamous as S-class, she is probably the strongest.
It’s just fine.
“Then, I’m sure you’ve heard about how to attack the Kraken, right?”
“Huh. There is an abandoned city a short distance from here, and they lure it there and fight.”
“Abandoned city… I say.”
It’s been decades since the full-fledged hunter society began.
After going through many crises and hardships, it has now entered a period of stability to some extent, but the scars of the past still remain throughout this land.
The abandoned city that is not far away is probably one of those scars.
“Um…”
Not a bad way.
Kraken is a marine creature.
If we can lure them to land, we will be able to start the battle in slightly more favorable conditions.
But…
“Why? Don’t you like this operation?”
“Ah… , That’s not it.”
It’s not that I don’t like it.
But… , I just want to think that there might be a better option than that.
“Then can you tell me?”
Han Joo-yeon throws a question with a strange smile on her lips.
“What?”
“If Do-jin were an S-class hunter, how would you deal with the Kraken?”
“Uh… , Well.”
If I participate in the Kraken attack as an S-class hunter… , The answer is already decided.
“I think we’re going to attack the inside of the Kraken.”
“If inside… , Are you saying you want to get into the body?”
“Yes.”
Which catastrophic monster wouldn’t be like that, but the Kraken is a very difficult monster to deal with.
The outer skin is very tough and even slippery, and the magic defense is considerable.
No matter how many S-class hunters received Juyeon’s buff, it would take a considerable amount of time to pierce his skin and inflict damage.
In the meantime, the A-class people who came out to assist the S-class avoided their mouths, and even if it was an abandoned city, how huge a scar it would leave on the surroundings every time that giant squid rampaged.
“Considering all of that, I wonder if it would be better to go inside and attack… , Huh?”
While talking excitedly, I meet eyes with Joo-yeon, who is staring at me.
… It’s a very burdensome look.
Then he smiled broadly and muttered something in a small voice.
“Whoops… , I thought it had changed a lot, but isn’t that the case?”
“Yes?”
“Ugh, no.”
Han Joo-yeon shook her head and hurriedly put her face back.
I think I’ve heard people say that they’ve definitely changed… , What.
Jooyeon stood up with his back stretched out and lightly stroked my hair with his hand reaching up.
“Do-jin, you will become a good hunter, yes.”
“Haha…”
I don’t want to do that anymore.
* * *
There are less than 12 hours left until Kraken’s full-scale attack.
Five people sat at a table at the top of the Haenam Guard Battalion.
Han Joo-hee, Kim Tae-yang, Namgung-hyuk, and Kim Seong-tae.
And even Jooyeon Han, who was newly added to the party this time.
Kim Tae-yang, who had been scolded by Han Joo-hee only a day before, licks his lips while watching Han Joo-yeon.
‘Write… , The sisters are crazy in pairs.’
Similar face and body.
However, the feeling it emits is quite different.
One side is cool and bewitching, and the other side has a warm and bright atmosphere.
Is that why?
‘It would be better to attack the younger sister first than the older sister.’
The hurdles of Han Ju-yeon, who exudes a feeling of complete oppositeness to her cold beauty, Han Ju-hee, were felt even lower.
Her tongue licked her lips and moved smoothly.
“Why did you call us in the middle of the night? Don’t be burdened and talk comfortably. “
Everyone except Han Joo-yeon frowned at her greasy tone, as if she had put a lot of butter on her mouth.
As he said.
It was none other than Han Joo-yeon who brought together those who had been confined to their respective spaces to take a sufficient rest before the Kraken attack.
Why did she call them?
“Thank you for gathering!”
Han Joo -yeon smiles brightly.
“The reason I asked you to gather like this… , I was wondering what it would be like to change the plan for tomorrow!”
“… What?”
“Ah-?”
“Hmm.”
S -classes who have a variety of reactions to sudden, absurd proposals.
Kim Seong -tae, who was surprised by her, spurred her place and asked her as if she was.
“Hunter Han Joo-yeon, is it true that you said you wanted to change the strategy with less than 12 hours left until the operation?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Her…”
Kim Seong-tae makes a puzzled expression at her energetic answer.
I was curious at the same time.
“… Can you explain us first? “
What kind of operation will you suggest with your confident attitude?
And is it more efficient than the operations you suggest?
Han Joo -yeon, who nodded his head without losing his smile, opened his mouth straight.
“I’m targeting Kraken’s interior.”
The faces of the four people hardened at once.
Kraken’s interior.
“That word… So, are you talking about going into your body? “
“That’s right.”
The four of them were at a loss for words when they saw her confident expression on her face despite her outrageous proposal.
I couldn’t understand what confidence I was looking at.
At the same time, Han Joo -hee, who is looking at her brother’s character, asked her.
“Tell me why. Why we should target the interior of Kraken, not outside. “
Han Joo -yeon opens her mouth as if he waited for her question.
“Once Kraken’s outer shell is very tough and even slippery.”
“So?”
“It’s hard to penetrate with a lot of attacks, and it takes a long time to reach it.”
Reasons to start listing one by one.
It was a little while ago, it was a very crushed content and what I heard from Kim Do -jin.
If there’s anything different, it’s just that there are detailed explanations about it.
After explaining all the damage she would suffer as the battle continued, she insisted once again.
“Considering these points, it is better to attack the inside.”
The abolition of the existing attack, and the initiative of the Kraken internal attack.
The expressions of the four people were quite different when they only heard the proposal and after hearing the explanation.
At first, it was just absurd and absurd, but now the reason is clear and it feels quite reasonable.
“But… , Don’t you all know?”
Sensing that the atmosphere was going strangely, Kim Seong-tae hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
“In the case of large monsters, there is a defense mechanism against external invasion even inside.”
“That too.”
Namgung-hyeok nodded as if agreeing with his words.
Super-large monsters have defense mechanisms to prevent intrusion into the interior, as if they had expected humans to infiltrate.
For example, a giant parasite is at work, or an acid that melts even steel at once comes out.
It was a risk that made me wonder if it would have been better to attack step by step from the outside.
Since the Kraken is a catastrophic monster, of course these defense mechanisms must be thoroughly prepared.
“If you make a mistake, you could be annihilated in the body of the Kraken.”
This, too, made sense.
Is it because of that?
Opinions of S-class hunters were also divided in half.
“I’m in favor of internal strategy.”
Kim Tae-yang, who was ecstatic at the thought of somehow flirting with Han Joo-yeon, stood by her side without thinking.
“I think Manager Kim’s opinion is more valid.”
Namgung-hyeok raised his hand to Kim Seong-tae’s opinion.
This is because the standard method was considered more appropriate than the operation with the possibility of annihilation, even if it took a little time.
With this, only Han Joo-hee is left.
When everyone’s eyes were focused on her, she silently closed her eyes and looked at Han Joo-yeon with her cool gaze, immersed in her thoughts, and asked,
“What do you think the odds of success for that operation are?”
I hope Han Joo-yeon will answer this immediately.
“Of course it’s 100%, sister.”
Again, an absurd figure came out.
100%.
On what grounds can such a risky operation be given such a chance of success?
“The basis?”
To the ensuing question, Han Joo-yeon answered while looking around at everyone with her strange smile drawn on her lips.
“Because this operation… , It’s a strategy that Hunter Son Si-woo told me about.”
Her words hit the meeting room.
