Chapter 144 – 35. Sinking (8)
“Cordelia, are you okay?”
“Ha… Ha… I don’t know. It will work out somehow.”
Cordelia wakes up in a cold sweat. Although she gave simple emergency treatment, there was nothing she could do about the strain on her body due to her explosive use of magical power.
The three of them decided that she couldn’t stay here anymore and moved to support her.
I was holding on to what Bishop Lisa had told me to throw away as it was not needed.
Shootaaaaa-!
It’s going to spin, really.
There is no time to think about what happened. Seawater rushes in through the hole that the Kraken passed through. Now, it was an absurd amount to block with her divine power.
It was so obvious that I would be drowned in the sea if I stayed here, so I hope to get out of the ship as soon as possible and get on board.
As if it had been waiting for us to come out, a tentacle passed right in front of us.
Pfft! This isn’t really it.
My eyes turn dark in front of the enormous fear.
There are enemies everywhere, and I have no idea where something will pop out. With Cordelia and Bishop Lisa, she’s barely holding on to her life. It wasn’t strange even if I died right now.
“Isaiah! Come to your senses!”
Bishop Lisa carries Cordelia on his back and slaps me in the face while I am lost.
At some point, I even forgot to breathe.
He turned as white as a corpse and was on the verge of collapsing.
Aha… Aha…
No… I don’t want to die…
I was too complacent. It was better to be at church. I was dragged around, and my body rolled around, but it was nothing compared to this.
At least it doesn’t die.
Kkeeeeek-! Boom!
“Wow!”
“Pfft!”
At that moment, the body is thrown forward due to the feeling of the ship’s body shaking. No matter how long ago we got up and started to run away, we lost our center of gravity again and fell to the floor.
Then, the bizarre sensation of my body rising into the air began to take over my entire body.
Ugh… Is the ship floating in the sky now?
It’s not a simple illusion. Clearly the gaze was rising above the horizon. This is impossible unless someone forcibly lifts the boat.
I looked down through the hole in the floor, wondering if it was possible. The Kraken was sending out a bundle of tentacles and lifting the entire ship.
Crazy…
Does this make sense?
I don’t have the strength to tackle something so unrealistic.
As soon as the stomach is lifted, the main body of the thing is revealed from deep within. It opened its mouth with the intention of swallowing the entire stomach, revealing its ugly teeth buried deep in its throat.
Ooooo!
The Kraken I first saw was so bizarrely bent that I doubted whether it was actually an octopus. I don’t think it was to this extent in the game, but it was a dot. It was on a different level from the real thing.
Kiiiiig-!
Uh, huh? No! Ship, ship!
There was no time to react. It was because it tilted the boat to one side with its tentacles.
No, you’re not trying to swallow everything like this, are you?
I came to my senses late and quickly held on to the wall to avoid being sucked in by the guy.
The ship gradually tilted towards the deck. At some point, my feet stopped touching the ground and I ended up hanging on precariously.
“Priests! Are you okay? Can you hold on? Fuck… Hey! Try using magic! You’re a wizard! Keen… “The kid is about to fall!”
“No… No more magic power…”
Bishop Lisa, who is holding on to Cordelia with one hand and the railing with the other, shouts something, but somehow I can’t hear her. Consciousness becoming blurred as if I would lose strength at any moment.
If I had known this would happen, I should have done strength training when I was alone to at least increase my strength…
My consciousness was fading and I felt my hands slowly losing strength.
“Ugh… Eww… Eww…”
It’s over. I’ve been able to hold on until now, but I’ve reached my limit.
Shit. At least next time I’m reincarnated, I hope I’m born in a happy place.
Not this fucking place. I wanted to live in a healthy place and die healthy.
Tak-!
“Priest!!!!”
“Little one!!!”
Ah… The hand falls from the wall and Lisa and Cordelia scream at me at the top of their lungs.
Maybe now we’re going into that monster’s mouth, right?
I wanted to die without pain…
I couldn’t do that anymore.
Shootaaaaa-!
Guuuuu-!
“Wow!”
Sick. The body falls downward through the air, pulled by gravity.
Have I ever fallen from such a height in my life? The hem of the clothes fluttered violently as if asking for help.
The view passes by quickly, as if the screen is turning quickly.
I realized that there was no way to survive…
I closed both my eyes.
“Saint!”
Sudden-! Kwazizig-!
Wow!
It’s about time I let everything go. With a voice calling me, someone roughly pulls my falling body upward. Eyes that sparkle at such a vicious touch.
Isabelle’s voice, which had been heard as a tinnitus just now, materialized before her eyes.
“Hey, Isabel?”
Where have you been so far? She hugs me as I fall, her face soaked in blood. Did she fall from above to save me? She roughly drove the holy sword she was holding into the wooden floor to slow down her fall into the sea.
Kwazijijijik-!
The wooden floor of the ship is torn apart like a piece of paper. Pieces of boards were flying in all directions, and I was only able to stop after falling about 3 or 4 meters further.
“Whoa… Ha… You’re welcome. “If I had been a little late, I would have been in big trouble.”
“… “
Did I buy it?
My eyes widen at what miraculously happened. No matter how much I repeated, I could no longer see any hope of survival, but Isabel risked her life in that situation and jumped in to save me.
Normally I would have said thank you first, but the shock was so great that I just kept opening and closing my mouth. It’s as if he knows how I feel right now. She smiled at me and told me not to worry.
“I was lucky. I saw it at just the right time. “You weren’t hurt anywhere, right?”
Lower your head in silence as if you were possessed. Isabel sighed as if relieved by my answer. While holding her in my arms so as not to fall, the two of us looked at the kraken that had grown like an island below.
Really, what should I do now…
Thanks to this, I barely survived, but I can’t say I’m still alive.
As long as you don’t kill that octopus bastard. It’s still the same as dying.
I erased the shock from earlier and rolled my eyes here and there to find out the guy’s weaknesses.
“Sorry. I did my best, but this is all I can do. Even if you cut off a limb, it continues to grow… “My strength is not enough.”
Raise your head. The calmness in Isabelle’s voice, as if she had already given up. Damn it, what if you give up here? With my only hope of fighting broken like this, my heart was broken too.
“Isabelle…”
“I should have protected you…”
Kyaaaaa-!
Suddenly, the guy lets out a scream, and pain as if my ears are tearing comes over me. The mouth opens in a bizarre way, as if it is really trying to swallow the entire ship.
Through those squinted eyes, a faint light that I had never seen before came into view.
…
Jewelry?
I found it.
What suddenly came into view was a small soul stone that could be said to be the heart of the Kraken. It was the only weakness that could stop this fearsome guy.
“Isabel, Isabel!”
Found. I finally found it. At first, I had no idea where it was hidden, but as it emerged from the surface, its weak point, the Soul Stone, was also revealed.
The only time it can cause enormous damage is now. I shook Isabelle, who was barely holding on to the holy sword, and continued speaking while shaking her roughly.
“See it over there? That shining place! That’s the Kraken’s weakness. Hero! If you destroy that thing, you can kill him.”
Weakness? What? Is that the Kraken’s weakness?
When Isabel saw me suddenly shouting, she clearly showed a look of embarrassment and said this with her eyes. Anyway, I hope to force Isabelle’s head to look at the Kraken’s soul stone.
Because of its size, it didn’t take Isabelle long to find the location of the soul stone.
“Saint, what a weakness… That’s the Kraken… ?”
It’s going to be complicated. Would you believe me if I suddenly told you to destroy that thing without any clear reason? But there was no time to explain that now. Right now, every minute and every second is a waste of time. I may have had to make up for it with Isabel, but I was more urgent than ever at this moment.
Isabel glared at the guy’s soul stone, as if my desperation had been conveyed well, if nothing else. He seemed to think that he had to be alive to ask why that place was a weak spot.
“All right. Priest. Can I just destroy that? “Just a moment.”
Isabel sends me up onto the railing to use her hand. Then she touches the floor and pulls out her holy sword. She soon caught her breath and placed her ankles on her thighs. She prepared to jump towards his soul stone right away.
