137 – Subjugating the Vengeful Kraken (7)
A vengeful Kraken in Phase 4 that was not in the original work.
If you could describe it in one word.
It was twisted.
There is no better expression than this.
It breaks away from the octopus form and looks closer to a tentacle monster.
In addition, it exudes a gloomy energy.
It seemed as if the genre had suddenly changed from fantasy to the Cthulhu mythos.
“Let’s go, Rosemary!”
“Yes!”
When my signal fell,
Rosemari rushed towards the Kraken, creating a splash.
The speed is comparable to that of a torpedo.
At a speed that is hard to believe that it can swim with just one person,
In the blink of an eye, we arrived right in front of the Kraken.
“Hmm!”
A blood-red sword swung quickly with acceleration.
However, the power was very poor.
I realized that I had become very weak due to the absence of one arm.
The clumsily cut tentacle soon regenerated and returned to its original state.
“As expected, this is not enough.”
“Well, then what should we do?”
As expected, let’s drool over the lack of power.
Rosemari asked in a worried tone what to do.
There are two choices you can make now.
One pours out the remaining magic power at once,
A simple and ignorant way to defeat the Kraken.
Under the assumption that the other one will not be played forever,
Hit and run method that inflicts continuous damage.
However, neither side is believed to be able to defeat the vengeful Kraken.
The former has a high risk of failure, and the latter only depletes stamina if you regenerate infinitely.
‘But I can’t just sit still.’
I promised.
I will repay Rose Marie for her efforts.
Even for the sake of her who has tried to change herself through all her efforts.
I must win the fight against this guy.
But even if you just put your mind first, it doesn’t mean you can accomplish anything.
If there is no clear solution,
I can’t defeat the Kraken, and I’m reduced to a braggart.
And Rose Marie lost her country and just like the original….
‘Let’s think about it. There must be some way. Should I strengthen my body more? Or mix it with some other magic….’
So many ways to cross your mind.
However, there was no prospect of defeating the Kraken in any way.
‘Oh, wait a minute.’
After much thought, no answer was found,
I sigh in frustration.
By chance, I caught sight of Rose Marie clinging to me and moving her fins vigorously.
A mermaid with naturally low magical power.
Nevertheless, she did not give up and continued to work hard.
Then, if only she had magical power, wouldn’t she be able to be more active than she is now?
When she finally arrived at that result, the corners of her mouth twitched.
“Rosemari, can you use other magic?”
“You heard the story earlier, right? “I was born with low magical power.”
“That’s why I’m asking.”
“Yes?”
Rose Marie, completely unaware of my intention, tilted her head.
She secretly passed on her magic power to her.
Then her eyes opened wide and she noticed a change in herself.

“Well, something. “This magical power!”
Even as she asked that question, her mouth drew an arc.
Like a child receiving her first toy,
Rose Marie, who had obtained a large amount of magical power, looked at me with her excited face.
“I just gave you my magic power. “I don’t have much left, so I can’t keep it up for long.”
“Transferring magical power? But in this situation, how….”
Inherently, transferring magical power is a difficult skill.
Even if you sit still and concentrate, it is difficult to fully convey the message.
It is nearly impossible to transfer magical power to others while fighting.
But what makes it possible is the characteristic .
Thanks to the characteristics that were upgraded one level from the previous reward,
More than before, a variety of mana operations have become possible.
There is a disadvantage of having to be close, but
In the current situation, that cannot be called a disadvantage.
“What do you think, can you do it?”
“… “Who are you talking to?”
When I first met Rose Marie,
She looked up with a confident face and spoke confidently.
“I am Rosemarie Rune Atlantis, the former princess of the Kingdom of Atlantis! “It’s not even that much work!”
A parade of strengthening magic that begins as soon as the words are finished.
How much magic do you know?
I can feel my body becoming explosively stronger.
“But if you think about mana, it’s 5 minutes. No, it could be shorter than that.”
“That’s enough. Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
A blood-red sword that draws an arc just like before.
However, the results were clearly different from before.
-Ghyooooo!!!!
Dozens of tentacles shattered into pieces.
At the same time, the Kraken screams loudly.
Thanks to you, I thought my eardrums were bursting,
For now, even that sound sounded like a happy song.
Rose Marie also frowned, but the corner of her mouth was smiling.
“Because I will do it without stopping. Cheer up a little more!”
“I understand!”
With a powerful answer,
It moved even faster, as if it had an engine attached to its fins.
Accordingly, the tentacles of the vengeful kraken gradually decreased, and the end gradually began to appear.
Not much time left.
I was so sure when I saw the Kraken noticeably slowing down.
Tentacles that used to regenerate in the blink of an eye are now like sprouts growing on dry ground.
A new tentacle slowly rises.
However, for the vengeful Kraken, who abandoned his octopus form in page 4,
Countless tentacles remain.
100 Seems to be easily exceeded. If I cut all of that down, there will be no end to it.
“Ha, I’m going crazy. After all, a monster is a monster.”
“Oh my, are you giving up then?”
“… At all.”
If I was going to give up, I would have given up a long time ago.
And said monster,
I didn’t say I would lose or that I couldn’t win.
Rosemari responded to my answer with a bright smile and glared at the Kraken again.
“I believe it. “You can make my dream come true.”
“You promised. “I will show you.”
A heartache that can no longer be washed away.
I can’t cure it, though.
At least I can show you a dream that can patch up the wounds.
‘Geomseongryu – Whirlwind!’
Blood-colored traces carved in the deep sea.
And the swirling vortex along the trajectory grew bigger and engulfed the Kraken.
Numerous tentacles are cut off by the whirlpool.
――――――――!
The Kraken went beyond screaming and let out a roar that was close to death.
Nevertheless, the whirlpool does not stop,
He attacked until all the tentacles were cut off.
When the vortex calmed down, what looked like a sea anemone changed into something as ugly as lumped clay.
Nevertheless, he did not give up on life.
“Ugh!”
“Oh, that can’t be right!”
Is this the final resistance?
The guy turned his body and pointed his mouth at us.
A huge amount of magical power began to gather in the mouth.
If we were to hit it squarely, we would die without a single speck of dust left behind.
But if we avoid it, that attack will head straight to Atlantis.
You can survive if you avoid it, but the country will disappear.
However, it is too dangerous a gamble to prevent it from the front.
Maybe we should at least get Rosemary.
As I thought so, the arm holding me tightened even more.
“Rosemari?”
“… I won’t run away. “If you will fight until the end, I will fight until the end.”
“……… Okay. “It has to come out like that!”
It seems like something happened in a moment.
How can you be so weak against someone like that?
Thanks to Rose Marie, he came to his senses and strengthened the hand holding his sword.
A risky gamble?
We’ve done that countless times, and we’ve continued to win.
But it is nonsense to say that you are scared of failure.
“This is the biggest magic I can do right now!”
“Okay, here we go!”
Receive Rose Marie’s maximum buff,
I swung my sword powerfully with the intention of cutting the Kraken in two.
‘Sword Seongryu – Wind Dragon, Wind Dragon!’
The fang of the wind that cuts through the water and flies toward the Kraken.
At the same time, the flying pillar of light collided.
The waves of fierce battle spread throughout the deep sea.
The tense structure continued without any attack retreating an inch.
However, the fierce battle slowly began to turn to one side.
To our victory.
――――――――!
A huge molar that cut through the pillar of light and pierced the Kraken.
The Kraken is so porous that it cannot even maintain its shape.
It was literally torn to pieces.
Both I and Rose Marie watched quietly.
Maybe it suddenly regenerates and attacks?
I watch with such ominous thoughts.
It was only then that I was relieved to see that instead of being regenerated, they were scattered and disappeared.
“I won. “We won!”
“Oooh!”
I belatedly realized that there was another mermaid from the sudden cheers.
What on earth were you doing while we were fighting?
You are really handling your work like a civil servant.
I wanted to say something right away, but I kept my mouth shut due to the praise that followed.
“Princess! Thank you so much!”
“Princess Rose Marie is truly the goddess of victory!”
To me, it looks like he is flipping his palm over too lightly.
But is Rose Marie truly satisfied?
I answered them, shedding jewel-like tears.
“Everyone saw it, right? “I am the princess of Atlantis, Rose Marie Rune Atlantis!”
“Oooooh!”
Cheers rang out at Rose Marie’s declaration.
At the same time, her clothes are not only touching her cheekbones, but are also threatening to reach her eyes.
But I would like to ask you a favor.
‘Can’t I go back now?’
I am holding on to the consciousness that is slowly fading away, but
Honestly, this is the limit now.
“Wait, don’t close your eyes! You can’t die! “No!”
Even Rose Marie’s cries did not stop her eyes from closing.
With the voice slowly fading away.
My consciousness gradually fell to the bottom of consciousness.
***
“Ugh, where is this place?”
When I came to my senses, a familiar ceiling greeted me.
This is the accommodation I rented.
It is clear to see that there are exactly 3 beds.
‘No, why are they treating guests like this?’
When I opened my eyes, I thought I would be inside the palace, but I had no idea that they would bring me to my lodgings.
He even saved the country,
When you treat me like this, I get angry.
This is why they said not to harvest fish, and the old people were never wrong.
“Hmm?”
Still, I have no intention of treating you poorly.
My arm, which had disappeared, came back in perfect condition.
I tried moving it a little bit, but it moves well without any discomfort.
“Has a lot of time passed? Or is the technology here good?”
Either way, as long as my arm is fine, that’s fine.
Now that we have defeated the Kraken,
The only thing left is to return to the royal capital.
Before that, if you take everything you can from Poseidon and think about it slowly-.
Kkiik.
“Hmm?”
“Ah….”
I thought Zero had returned because the door opened for a moment.
But what came through the door was a little different from Zero.
“Nia?”
The fight must have ended.
For some reason, Nia was wandering around.
Could it be that he tried to kill me while I was unconscious?
That would be a shame.
Because it happened before that. Ha ha ha.
“I woke up, I woke up.”
“Yes, absolutely fine.”
I don’t know how you tried to kill me, but
The plan came to nothing.
Now you won’t be able to do anything other than go back inside Zero.
“Hey, over there….”
“Hmm?”
But something about the reaction is strange.
Is something watching me?
He continued to stare at me hesitantly, and then spit out embarrassing words in a trembling voice.
“I came to get you in trouble!”
Crazy.
