929: Sea of Monsters II

Sea of Monsters II

"You are brutal." Levin Cloud joked as he saw the heads of the Sirens pop like a balloon after being squeezed tight by Charon's chains.2

"You are welcome to be eaten by them. I will surely want to see your expression when you see how monstrous they really look." Adrian replied as he giggled.

"Anyways, is this really the sea of monsters? We have been flying on open sea for quite some time." Kabrakan stated as the name did not live up to its name because they are not being attacked by numerous monsters.

"We are just at the entrance of the Sea of Monsters. The real start would be there." Peridot stated as she pointed out a part of the vast ocean that is filled with dark rumbling clouds and numerous whirlpools.

When Peridot pointed out the real start of the Sea of Monsters, they could feel that the atmosphere has also changed. The air became heavy and harder to breath while it felt as if gravity became greater. In fact, Adrian really did feel that gravity almost doubled, and they are not that affected by it due to their high levels.

It did not take long for the name Sea of Monsters to prove itself to the group. As soon as they entered the zone, black projectiles started flying their way at a fast speed. Kabrakan used his skill that could temporarily create a shield that extends outside to block the attacks.

The shield formed a sphere momentarily, but their vision is blocked by the black substance. It seems that the black projectiles are actually ink shot at them. When Kabrakan dispelled the barrier, the ink dropped down onto the waters below.

The monsters that released the ink projectiles are not really monsters but demihumans known as Krakens and Scylla. The krakens have two forms which are their full octopus and squid hybrid form and their humanoid form that retains some of their octopus and squid looks. They are a male only race due to them being the counterpart of the Scylla since the latter is a female only race.

The Scylla have the upper bodies of females while their lower body has eight tentacles. The tentacles also transform into dragon head tips when they increase their Persona but retain their ink shooting capabilities. They also have a monstrous form, but no one has yet to see what it looks like.

About ten krakens and ten scyllas are looking at them with great hostility as they did trespass into their waters. Although from their point of view, the waters do not belong to no one as it is infested with monsters. The law of territories also applied to the waters and that they can only claim what they can protect.

Since the Scylla and the Kraken only rule part of the Sea of Monsters, they should not have sovereignty over it, but they are also a prideful bunch. The Scylla Queen and the Kraken King proudly announces that they rule the sea of monsters even though they can only control a part of it. They also encroach on some waters of the mermaid folk which is why they are at constant war with each other.

"Gabriel, blow the trumpets! Summon: Great Disaster!" Adrian stated as he activated his disaster summoning skill.

[The skill has failed.]

[Gabriel did not accept the call due to your Angel Killer title.]

"Freaking hell!" Adrian shouted as one of his most powerful skills became useless just like that.

He might have not been able to control the disaster summoning angel to choose what kind of disaster to create but this is the first time that he was ghosted. Adrian wanted to try again but his skill is already grayed out.

[You cannot use the skill for a given duration.]

[Duration: Unknown]

"Fudge!" Adrian shouted once more as he remembered that his parents often looked at his gameplay footage. It seems that they find it more appealing than television dramas, but he needed to watch what he says.

"Uhm? Where is the disaster that we are promised?" Levin Cloud asked as this was part of their plan.

Part of their plan was for Adrian to summon a disaster when they are attacked by multiple enemies. The krakens and scyllas were not their only problem as numerous swordfish looking monsters are also heading towards their location.

"The damned Angel did not answer my call. I will personally pluck the feathers of that oversized chicken when I see him again." Adrian replied which shocked the rest of the team. They did not know that skills could do that. It only meant that the angel that Adrian summons is an NPC and not something generated by the skill.

"I guess, it is up to me then." Peridot stated as her blue and gray crystal glowed. She also took out two epic tier gemstones in order to negate the cast time of the two spells that she will use.

"Tidal Wave! Curtain of Fog!" Peridot stated as she activated two epic tier spells.

The water below them suddenly became erratic and started to rise up. The Tidal Wave skill created a ten-meter-tall wave that slammed down on the Krakens and Scyllas. This was never meant to kill them as the two demihuman races resist water elemental damage. It is used to deter them from attacking the group since their main objective is to get away from the area that they are currently in.

The Curtain of Fog spell summoned thick fog that impeded the vision of every enemy in the area while letting her allies see inside of it clearly. Sounds of confusion suddenly aroused as the Krakens and the Scyllas that were attacking their group is now being attacked by the numerous sword fish monsters that came rolling towards them.

The group managed to avoid the fight as they just flew a bit higher than their current altitude. The only problem is that they now risk being electrocuted by the lightning coming down towards them. Luckily, they have Peridot that can now absorb lightning using her wind gemstone but only she can come out unscathed.
