Chapter 325 – The Nightmare at Sea
#325.
“Ugh… !”
Terrible pain runs through your body. It’s as if someone has hammered it all over the body and shattered the bones.
Even so, Gaon raised his head and checked the safety of Chorin in his arms.
Losing her mind, she closed her eyes and was motionless, only letting out a whimpering breath.
“Whoa… Is there any problem?”
There were bruises here and there, but fortunately, they were only minor injuries that would not affect her life. It can’t be a lucky thing.
‘If it wasn’t for Shinki, he’d die.’
Right before the Kraken’s attack came, Gaon showed his wits and protected his whole body using the barrier-type divine instrument obtained from Rivera.
Of course, the barrier was destroyed in an instant.
In the case of this divine instrument, its strength was its staying power based on the mana emitted from the dragon heart, but its durability itself was a little less.
However, just blocking the first impact, which would have been the most powerful, dramatically raised the survival rate of the two.
Gaon hugged Chorin and lifted her up.
Thud! Kugu Palace!
Thinking of it, he wanted to just lie down and rest, but the roar coming from far away didn’t allow him to rest.
Gaon, the most important force, and Chorin, the only healer, are missing, so the party is probably fighting a tough fight.
Should be added
“Once the physical condition… Not bad.”
Bones all over the body were broken, flesh was bursting and blood was flowing, but instead, indomitability was activated and physical abilities became stronger.
The effect of the stigma is still continuing, and the mana is also full due to the imitation danteon.
In the current state, it is possible to use the improved technology of the polar light.
After checking his own condition and running for a while, he was able to arrive at the battlefield where the Kraken and his men were fighting.
Jaehee and Surin, who seemed to have intervened after looking at the situation, were also pushing Kraken, playing their respective roles.
Gaon fell behind and approached Raul, who was supporting him.
“Raoul.”
“What!? Brother! You’re all right! What a relief. Would you rather fight? It’s dangerous! You are hurt too much.”
“It’s done. Chorin please.”
“Yes? Ah, ah! Brother!”
Ignoring Raul who was calling from behind, Gaon stepped forward and took a long breath to raise his concentration.
Polar lights are clearly a powerful technique.
However, the amount of mana required was so great that it was difficult for Gaon to handle.
Even if she collected mana at most, it was all about forming a size the size of millet, so even if she hit a Kraken that was several kilometers tall, she would only be scratched.
So, it has to take a different form.
Whoops!
Huge energy is concentrated at the tip of the spear.
The same amount of mana temporarily obtained using the existing mana and the imitation danteon. Put the two of them straight in.
The swirling torrents of mana gathered at one point and boiled with high heat.
Eventually, the gas decomposes to form plasma.
‘It’s easy for now.’
Gaon has put in too much effort to fail with the technology he has already completed. He used Windwalker’s built-in features here.
Having been able to perfectly handle the wind, he confined the effect only to mana.
The amplification rate is 15 times.
Wooooo!!
The plasma exploded in an instant.
The size of millet rice has changed to the point where it is now the size of an adult male fist.
Of course, this was still insignificant compared to Kraken’s huge body, but it was enough to achieve what Gaon wanted.
When he exerted his will, the plasma that had been compressed into a circle was delicately refined, covering the tip of the spear and spitting out.
Just looking at the spear blade formed by blazing plasma made me realize its power.
The name has not been decided.
If I had to say it, should I call it a polar light?
Gaon thought about it for a while, then shook his head and brushed it off, then stared at Kraken.
‘There’s no time to delay.’
It was difficult to control the energy of the amplified plasma even with his mental strength trained through destruction and regression.
I had to hurry, because if I hesitated any longer, it might disappear in vain.
“Sueuuuuup…”
Take a deep breath and hold it firmly in the danjeon.
Kwaaang!
It jumps with powerful foot clouds and compresses a long distance in an instant.
Where he passed, water vapor evaporated by the plasma bubbled up from the surface of the water.
Kraken, who was dealing with his party, suddenly turned his head as if he had noticed his approach. And as if he felt a sense of danger while watching the plasma, he retrieved all his legs and stretched them out to Gaon.
In return, the party’s attack hit the defenseless torso, but he roared, focusing all his attention only on Gaon.
Aaaaa!
At the same time, a huge amount of ink spewed out of his mouth, dyeing the entire surroundings into darkness.
However, even if all senses were paralyzed, as long as the senses were intact, it was possible for Gaon to exert power as usual.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the darkness and sliced off the Kraken’s legs like radishes.
Sudden!
The polar light made of plasma sliced off the Kraken’s leg as if it felt no resistance.
The cut section is sizzling and the delicious smell stimulates the sense of smell.
In just eight swings, Gaon sliced off his entire leg and landed between his eyes.
Gaon’s sparkling eyes meet Kraken’s fearful eyes.
Gaon mercilessly slammed the spear into his eyeball.
Pooh!
Aaaaa!
A scream of pain pierced his ears.
Gaon released the energy that was concentrated in one point under his firm will.
‘Explode!’
Kwaaang!
The rugged and bouncing head of the Kraken exploded after a very short delay.
Even the ink bag exploded, turning dozens of kilometers in all directions black in an instant. Gaon closed his eyes and spread his feeling wide.
‘There it is.’
Then he moved quickly and took the artifact and magic stone that were swept away in the aftermath of the explosion.
I don’t know anything else, but these two are absolutely necessary.
After a while, when the ink was diluted and scattered, the party ran at once and spat out worried words.
Especially the lovers were noisy.
It’s almost confusing to see him clinging here and there and caressing his entire body, whether he’s worried or sending a subtle sign.
Isabella, looking at the scene with her crooked gaze, tapped her on the shoulder and said,
“I’m glad you seem to be all right.”
“Thanks to Shinki. She put a barrier right before the blow. Thank you for your concern.”
“If you’re so grateful, let’s have a drink together later.”
Gaon smiled as he pretended to drink alcohol. I was deliberately avoiding it after what happened in the past, but if I go back this time, I wonder if I should hang out with him.
As if she didn’t want to see the two of them like that, Rivera sneaks in on her.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes? What.”
“I was able to live thanks to Shinki. You took it from me.”
“So?”
“… Just like that.”
Even Rivera knows herself well.
As long as her ownership has already passed, she can’t be condescending to Gaon no matter what happened.
But no matter how much she does, she can’t completely get rid of her desire for something. It was because it was clear what she wanted from Gaon.
Gaon lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Rivera’s wagging tail, and then headed towards Chorin, who was lying a little away.
Surin was waiting for her to wake up, giving her knee to Chorin.
“Mother in law. How is Chorin?”
“Ah… Son-in-law. Chorin is asleep for now. Just in case, she fed her an elixir, but to no avail. Is she okay with her son-in-law?”
“I am fine. More than that, don’t worry too much about Chorin. She was just so shocked that she lost her mind. She will wake up soon.”
“Is that right? Thank you for the comfort.”
As if she could not completely shake off her worries even though she understood her, Surin stroked her head over and over again.
Because her breasts were so large, she wondered if she would be able to see Chorin’s face properly with that posture, but she soon realized that she was a useless curiosity, so she stopped herself and turned her head away.
Gaon opened his mouth after confirming that Ha-yeon’s parents, who had been hiding, had also joined.
“Then let’s take a break for a while and then go back. On the way, I stop at Treasure Mountain.”
Although it was used as a trap, the Kraken collected all the treasures, so there was no need to run around.
Gaon took a sip of the elixir and smiled secretly as he healed her wounds.
***
After a full day, the party finally got out of the deep sea and entered the capital, Embryo.
“We have finally arrived. Everyone must be tired, but I will go to meet the King. And I’ll take a day off and come back.”
I feel like I just want to throw myself into bed right away, but in the end, I won’t be able to rest easily because of my work with the king.
In that case, it was better to solve it coolly and rest comfortably.
However, in the case of the party, I wondered if they thought differently, and then Ha-yeon crossed her arms.
“Master. It’s been a long time since I came to a place full of the best resorts in summer, but isn’t it a pity to just go?”
“So, let’s go play?”
“Yes! It’s the first time all the guild members are playing together. Let’s go on summer vacation!”
Definitely not a bad suggestion.
Curious to see what other people thought, I looked at them, and everyone happily nodded in favor of the summer vacation.
Ju Bi-ho and Yoo Ji-ah also had bright expressions on their faces, as if they were excited at the thought of enjoying a date with each other.
“Then let’s do it. Let’s take a three-day summer vacation. But before that, there is something I need to tell you.”
Having achieved their goal, the lovers, including Ha-yeon, tried to cheer and share the joy, but tilted their heads after hearing Gaon’s back story.
Then, the moment he discovered that Gaon’s eyes were on Joo Bi-ho and Yoo Ji-ah, she noticed and she stood next to him.
Gaon mustered up the courage to speak.
“Father. Mother. I have something to tell you.”
“Hmm… Sounds serious. Try it.”
“Whoops! What do you mean? Please speak comfortably.”
Ju Bi-ho, who has a firm tone but is friendly, and Yoo Ji-ah, who is armed with kindness from beginning to end, have the effect of relieving tension.
However, the truth she was about to reveal had the destructive power to turn the situation around, so she couldn’t be relieved.
Standing a little further away from her, Su-rin looked at them and smiled awkwardly.
Cho-rin and Ha-yeon hold hands from both sides as if to lighten her burden. Ju Bi-ho and Yoo Ji-ah’s expression hardened after seeing this.
Before they could ask, Gaon quickly jumped the ball.
“Four people here. All of them are in textbooks with me. Sorry.”
“… What do you mean? Let me explain to you.”
“Gaon? It’s a little embarrassing. Are you in textbooks? Are you saying you’re having an affair?”
“Not only Hayeon, but also Chorin, Jaehee, and Lugiena. These are all the women I love. We are dating seriously.”
The couple, who hoped he had heard wrong, closed his eyes as Gaon beat the nails. That was a hard fact to accept.
Unexpectedly, it was Joo Bi-ho who spoke first.
He asked while looking at Hayeon, not Gaon.
“Hayeon, are you okay?”
“… Huh. I like all teacher… I love Gaon, Chorin unnie is kind, Jaehee unnie is smart, and Rouziena unnie is really cool. I want to live happily ever after like now.”
Hearing Ha-yeon’s sincere remark, Joo Bi-ho let out a long sigh and nodded his head with difficulty.
“If you’re happy, that’s fine. Hey, son-in-law. Take good care of my daughter If the day of shedding tears comes, then I will take you right away, so be careful. Got it?”
“All right. I will never let you be sad. Thank you.”
“Okay. Now let’s go to the palace.”
Gaon, who accepted permission much easier than expected, headed for the imperial palace with a bemused look.
Of course, unlike Joo Bi-ho, Yu Ji-a could sometimes hear repulsive voices as if it bothered her, but she didn’t show any action, probably because she decided to just let it go at the persuasion of her husband, daughter, and Su-rin, who was in the same situation as her.
After arriving at the palace, the party met with the king, packed everything they had to take care of, and moved to an island for a vacation.
