Chapter 127 – Episode 127: Five Princes
Ocean.
The Kraken was only staying around the dungeon he grew up in.
And the boat passing over it was gone.
But after a long time, a boat was coming.
The Kraken climbed up with joy.
At first, the Kraken was nothing more than a squid that had undergone monster transformation.
In a state where he could barely deal with a single person, he continued to evolve while fighting various monsters.
Each time the Kraken got bigger.
Size was weight and strength.
It didn’t matter how big it was in the sea.
When the dungeon felt cramped, the Kraken rose above the sea.
When he saw the human boats floating on the sea from the side, he only seemed to be the same size as himself.
He extended several tentacles and grabbed his stomach.
Humans tried to slash tentacles.
However, the tentacles were thick and did not budge even from moderate knife cuts.
It only angered the Kraken.
The Kraken energized its tentacles.
Then the ship’s keel broke and the ship sank.
Some humans escaped by flying through the sky with magic, but most of them just threw themselves into the water and floated.
And all the humans left in the sea became the Kraken’s prey.
**
Jason borrowed the best ships and crew from the City Alliance.
And headed to the sea where the Kraken is said to come out.
Jason asked the captain.
“How long can you withstand the Kraken’s attack?”
“I heard that a ship can be harpooned in about three minutes. This ship is good, but it will still be difficult to exceed 5 minutes.”
“That’s enough.”
Originally, Jason’s fighting style was quick-and-fast.
Rogues were weak, so the longer the battle lasted, the more disadvantaged they were, and Jason had made it even more extreme.
Jason received the invisibility magic and was waiting on the foremast.
The poles to which the sails are attached are called masts, and among them, the foremast at the front was the highest, so everything could be seen.
And not long after, huge tentacles began to rise from the sea.
Jason quite enjoys eating squid, but it was just disgusting when the size was inflated hundreds of times.
Jason was the most agile rogue of all adventurers.
Of course, I attacked the tentacle faster than anyone else.
Jason used his own organs right away.
As he fell from the Foremaster, he used all of the assassination, slaughter, and cascade attacks.
With this alone, he was able to deal several times more damage than a thief of the same level.
Besides, what was in his hand was not an ordinary poisoned dagger.
The Venom Avenger inherited from Geoffrey.
Among thieves, it was something like a holy sword.
‘Even if it’s a monster that can destroy a huge ship. After all, it is a living organism that can be poisoned.’
It was much more difficult for Jason to deal with monsters such as golems and undead, which were impervious to poison.
In addition, this Kraken was even putting tentacles on top of the ship, where it was easy to inject poison, in order to destroy it.
If it had been fought in the sea, it would have been difficult to see the effect as much as the poison was scattered in the sea water.
Jason’s Venom Avenger slashed off several tentacles in an instant.
Each time, Venom Avenger emits a dark green color.
It was an instant attack.
Jason knew that with this level, he could kill quite a few high-level adventurers in one shot.
‘You never know. The first attack might have been close to superhuman.’
And Jason’s attack worked.
The Kraken, who hadn’t responded to any of his attacks so far, struggled on his own.
The Kraken was in so much pain that he wanted to cut off his own tentacles.
It let go of the tentacles holding the ship.
Cried Jason.
“Nineyar!”
“Yes, Master!”
Nainyar was preparing as well.
She drank a potion of giant strength and held the ship’s massive anchor.
It was nothing more than a heavy mass of steel anchoring a ship to the sea.
With her giant strength, she lifted the anchor and slammed it into her tentacles.
Thud!
The kraken’s tentacles were hard and tough, but she couldn’t stand the iron anchor. She anchored her tentacles.
And Nine Yar tugged at the anchor’s chain from her tentacle.
“All stuck!”
Originally, the sailors, who were demons, did not approach Nine Yar.
But now, at Nainyar’s orders, all the crew were chained.
Then the Kraken couldn’t get out of the ship.
All that was left was to kill the Kraken, who could not escape to the sea.
Jason is a master assassin, so after the first attack he becomes less than an ordinary thief.
However, he continued to inflict pain on Kraken with the Venom Avenger.
Spear continued to stab the Kraken with poisoned daggers in both hands.
Rogues were the most effective when dealing with these creatures.
And the wizard Aliana and the priest Janie were doing their best to attack the Kraken.
The Kraken now changed his strategy, holding back his pain and tightening his tentacles again to break the ship.
At the same time, it moved its small tentacles and attacked the people on the boat.
It was a long game.
But what is certain is that it was not a comfortable battlefield for the Kraken.
The Kraken took too much damage from the start and his body was tied to the ship.
I didn’t know it when I was destroying it, but a sailing ship was a thing that humans made to mobilize all their wisdom to make a rough voyage.
He was tied there, so he couldn’t escape even if it was the Kraken.
Gradually, the odds were turning towards Jason.
And at one point, all of the Kraken’s tentacles lost their strength and drooped.
Jason climbed the tentacles and carefully headed for the Kraken’s head.
I put the Venom Avenger in his eyes.
No creature could pretend to be dead while sticking a knife in its eye.
“The Kraken is dead!”
At Jason’s declaration, his entourage and the crew of the ship all cheered.
Some of the crew didn’t think Jason and his girls could capture the Kraken, but they were just thrilled with their victory.
**
When Jason told him that he had killed the Kraken with his own power, Netsua’s mayor’s jaw dropped wide.
It was so wide that I was worried that my chin might have fallen out.
“You got it? The Kraken? Without the help of the Dark Ball?”
In fact, the mayor only assumed that Jason had asked for the ship and crew in his young mind.
I never thought that this young man would really catch a Kraken.
And the mayor thought that if Jason failed once and ran away with magic, he would bring the dark ball, and only gave him a ship and a declaration.
But Jason proudly dragged the kraken’s body back to the City Alliance.
At the port, it took a while to dismantle the Kraken’s body.
With such evidence, I couldn’t believe it.
“I know it’s hard to catch such a large monster unless it’s a high-end adventurer’s party… ? How?”
“It seems I’m a high-level adventurer.”
“How old is Jason?”
“I will be 16 soon.”
Even though he is still 15 years old, Jason has always hated looking young.
And while Jason has been rumored to be a child prodigy, his seniors definitely reacted differently.
He was treated as a genius who could reach the limit in the middle up to the middle class, but the youngest senior class was different.
Even if he did not become a superman, everyone acknowledged him, and the possibility of becoming a superman was higher than anyone else.
“Oh my. I didn’t recognize Jason’s abilities. I apologize. Haha.”
The mayor of the city association was completely low-key, to the point of apologizing for things that didn’t have to be apologized for.
He was making connections with the boy who might become the future Dark Lord.
“Then I will give orders to the shipowners of the city alliance right now. The Merchant of the Palmo Empire doesn’t even dare to go out to sea. Haha!”
“If you do, I will be grateful.”
And Jason didn’t react to that change in the other person.
Anyway, the city union had to be done according to the contract, and it would only be nice if they did better.
**
All caravans of the city associations hoisted pirate flags.
And he traveled around the sea and attacked the top of the Palmo Empire.
No matter how much the Palmo Empire was a country with sufficient domestic market, there were many top tiers that were importing and exporting overseas.
It was one of the pillars of the economy.
The upper class immediately filed an appeal to the emperor of the Palmo Empire.
The empire is the emperor’s.
It was as if the emperor had a duty to protect the top of the empire.
Jason sneaked back to the capital of the Palmo Empire.
And since Prince Oh was active in the northern expedition, public opinion began to form that it would be good for the crown prince to take part in the eradication of southern pirates.
There was nothing wrong with Jason’s words, and Prince Oh, who was paying attention to the success of Prince Oh, took the bait.
The prince immediately boasted to the emperor that he would punish those who had tormented the empire for years by communicating pirates and bringing the city unions to their knees.
The Emperor gave permission.
