Chapter 142 – 35. Sinking (6)
Has this ever happened in a game? I thought about it again, but no matter how much I searched in my head, this development did not exist. I clearly remember that it all started after arriving at the Demon Continent, but why now…
“Hold on a little bit! “Keuuuuu!”
Cordelia grits her teeth and pulls me up, who is hanging on the railing. I barely escaped a crisis that almost killed me.
When my feet, which had been floating in the air, touched the ground again, I breathed heavily, having come back from death.
Lord, I almost died…
It was a fleeting moment.
The body that was hanging on the railing was thrown backwards by the shock wave. If Cordelia hadn’t caught me then, by now…
Kugugung-
Kugugu Palace-
What, why is the floor like this… Isn’t this really going to destroy the ship?
Take a moment to catch your breath. The entire hull rings again.
When I slowly raise my head, water gushes from all directions.
Then, five or six octopus legs the height of a building were revealed, staring fiercely in this direction.
Is that really a Kraken?
I don’t understand the English text. Why does the boss monster only appear late in the game? Even though I didn’t steal the secret information related to him, I was screaming, and I was very angry at this person.
Ding- Ding- Ding- Ding-
Let’s move our heads quickly. Only now is an alarm bell ringing in the wheelhouse. Sailors hurriedly come out to understand the situation.
When we saw the legs of the Kraken dominating the sky, we all became meditative, perhaps because we were shocked.
“Avoid the little boy!”
“Yes?”
I was so scared that I couldn’t even think of running away. A shadow cast over my face.
As I was looking up at it in shock, an octopus leg flew straight towards me, sharply cutting through the air.
Kwasik-!
“Hi!”
I didn’t think about using divine power to deal with the sudden attack.
In the end, Cordelia seemed to sense that there was no answer, so she hugged me and ran next to me.
Kwaaaaabit*ling alright?
There was something like a big crater where I was. Wooden fragments were scattered around.
“Are you crazy?! I’m thinking of dying! Come to your senses!”
I came to my senses belatedly when I heard Cordelia’s urgent cries while holding both of my shoulders.
“Code, Cordelia, what is this…”
“I don’t know either. So wake up quickly. “I have to live first.”
Yes, I have to live. Must live. I don’t understand what’s going on, but there was nothing wrong with what Cordelia said. It was all something she had to live to see.
In a situation where it’s hard to keep my balance, I lean against the wall and get up shakily.
I tried to calm my rapidly beating heart. I gave my whole body strength.
@@@@@
Madam… What are you doing since dawn? ?
Isabel wakes up without sleeping well and frowns.
Something like a bell is ringing, and there is noise everywhere. At first, I ignored it and laid down thinking it wasn’t a big deal, but the noise didn’t go away.
She comes out into the hallway, rubbing her eyes, thinking that this can’t go on like this. She squeaked and opened the door, and the crew members on board were running around as if something had really happened.
Artillery! Where’s the artillery? Take out all the artillery-!
Move quickly and sail, sail!
Did we get attacked by pirates?
“Hey, what happened over there?”
I don’t know. She needs to know, so Isabel asks a random person. A sailor who is so tired that it seems like this is not an ordinary day. Her breathing is also rough. She seemed to be in some sort of panic, unable to focus.
“Hey, hero, we’re in big trouble. “There’s a monster outside!”
Monster?
What does this mean? It’s a monster that suddenly cuts off front and back in the middle of the ocean. My head tilts at the incomprehensible words.
Isabel doesn’t seem to be able to communicate at all like this, so she leaves behind the trembling sailor and heads to her deck. It was right after she climbed the stairs and opened the door leading outside that she wanted to see it with her own eyes.
“… “
Wiggle-
Huh? What is this?
I opened the door and saw a lump of pink, smooth flesh. When I touch it with my hand, wondering what it is, I feel a squishy feeling. Out of curiosity, let’s take her hand again. The entire ship echoed with the sound of ‘Koo Goo Goong’ and the lump of flesh ran away high into the sky.
What is that?
Even after crossing the doorway, Isabel’s eyes still follow her lump of flesh. As my narrow field of vision widens, the flesh I see is a huge tentacle.
After confirming that they were attacking her ship, she closed the door again and came down to her ship.
Okay… Is it a dream? It’s too vivid for that…
Isabel frowns and thinks deeply for a while. What is this?
She was disorganized.
“Are you awake now?”
Plod along. When I looked sideways at the sound of someone approaching, I saw Bishop Lisa standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
She must have woken up a while ago and was dressed in battle clothes.
“Yes, well… But what is that? I heard something strange was moving around outside…”
“What is it? As you can see, it’s a Kraken.”
It’s a Kraken… Yeah, ah, it’s a Kraken… It’s a story I’ve only heard about in legends, but what can I say? It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
“Get dressed quickly and come out. If this continues, the ship will sink.”
“… “
As if she had said all she had to say, Bishop Lisa tapped his shoulder and walked out without even looking at him.
What? Why is Jae so calm? Even though she is not a mercenary, her facial expression did not change at all, as if she was used to this situation.
“Sister! Sister!”
While Bishop Lisa is frozen for a moment after going outside, Sylvia frantically rushes in, calling Isabelle. Looking up and down, she saw that Sylvia had just woken up and was in normal clothes.
She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as she didn’t understand the situation.
“Did you hear that? It’s called Kraken. “We’re screwed.”
“Oh, I just heard that.”
“But isn’t that a legendary demon beast? “Why are you here?”
Even if you tell me that…
Honestly, I have no idea what’s going on right now. It’s not even daytime, it’s at dawn, and the Kraken is a legendary monster that lives under the sea.
It’s a creature you’ll never encounter in your lifetime, or only see once in a thousand years, but it seems like it could smell us coming. The guy who had been hiding finally showed himself.
“But sister, have you seen the saint? I haven’t seen you since before… Where are you? You shouldn’t get hurt or anything like that…”
… Seo, saint? Ah, Priest Isaiah.
“Priest?!”
There was so much chaos that Isabelle had forgotten her important existence. She is a fragile and precious being who will break at the slightest touch.
Where are you now? I guess I’ve already been harmed by that guy. No. She had to find him as soon as possible.
@@@@@
Jjiiiiing-
My tinnitus is ringing, and my ears are deafening. The smoke thickened with the smell of gunpowder everywhere. At the captain’s direction, the crew fired guns, and each time one leg of the octopus fell, two more legs rose above the water.
Launch-!
Pow- Pow-
This is something you only see in movies…
It is an unrealistic scene that is difficult to explain. The octopus’s legs climbed up the sail and coiled like a snake, threatening to swallow the entire ship.
Every time it shakes, salt rain begins to fall in the clear, cloudless sky. The horse is a monster, this was close to a natural disaster.
“Kid! Grab it!”
“Ugh!”
Cordelia hugs me with one arm and takes out her staff and draws several magic circles in the air. Then she turns the magic circle into a sword and wields it freely. She cut off the tentacles flying towards us with her single sword.
“It’s not just one or two!”
How was Cordelia holding on when everyone would die if the ship collapsed, but it wasn’t enough for Cordelia to stop it on her own? Tentacles grew again from the cut section, and as time went by, the number increased, becoming disadvantageous to us.
We have to hold on until Isabel comes.
You must use divine power. Even though recovery was my main job, I had to do whatever I could to help.
If I stayed like this, it would be like me holding Cordelia’s ankles.
“Ugh… !”
Although my original strength was limited by Amaneth, I still had the power to block one or two tentacles.
Concentrate your consciousness together. I draw strength directly from the dantian.
The halo of light came together to create a sacred shield.
Ching- Ching-
It was the only technique I could use since I had no means of attacking a guy of that size.
“Little boy, run!”
Better than before. As proof of this, Cordelia’s movements became easier. Cordelia felt like she was stuck, but now she can move enough to run away. He grabbed my wrist with all his might, kicked me off the ground, and hid inside the ship.
“Wow! Ha… Ha…”
“Cordelia!”
As soon as she enters the safe zone, the magic that was circulating throughout her body is released and Cordelia bursts out in blood. Perhaps because she used too much of her magical power at once, her body was immediately overworked. Unlike her divine power, the magic she uses has toxic ingredients, so I gathered all my strength and helped her recover.
