1163: Defeating The Kraken And A Mysterious Shard!

Defeating The Kraken And A Mysterious Shard!

-----1

A bombardment of magic attacks reached the Kraken from all directions. Blazing explosions, freezing spears, sharp wooden projectiles, rays of light, and more. The enormous beast began to scream in agony as several of its tentacles were blown away into pieces.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

And that wasn't all, as Leviathan joined the fray, ferociously freeing herself from the Giant Kraken's tentacles and then viciously biting the monster with her sharp and deadly jaws. Her eyes furiously glanced at the beast as if it were merely a meal she found in her way.

"GRUOOOOOHHHH!"

"ROOOOAR!"

The Kraken agonized as it suddenly, and desperately conjured a vast array of magic circles. All the magic circles conjured a large quantity of water, shaped as enormous spiraling vortexes that clashed against Leviathan and our magic barrier.

CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

The barrier wasn't even that affected though, and the Kraken seemed annoyed by how strong our barrier was. On its annoyance, it employed a new trick, suddenly beginning to dive underwater and then beginning to make the entire sea spin around us, while using its fast regeneration to create more tentacles as bait!

SPLAAAASH!

"T-The entire sea around us is spinning!" Said Kraxka in shock.

"Is this the Kraken's doing?! To think a monster can do such a thing!" Larzak added.

"Krakens are high ranked monsters, kings of the sea. Their power to manipulate the ocean is equally stronger! It seems even the Leviathan can't catch him completely!" Said Pekora.

"This damn thing's smart." I looked into the seas as I sighed, quickly jumping off the boat.

SPLAAASH!

My small body quickly transformed into my current Vampire Dragon Form, as I flew into the seas and dove into its spinning underwater currents. There, I saw the enormous eyes of the Kraken, each eye was as big as my own body, this monster's true size was gargantuan.

FLASH!

And from within the Kraken's body, I saw a strange, blue-colored light. It was emerging from the Kraken's body and shining brightly. At first I didn't knew if that was merely an illusion of the spinning sea reflecting the sun's light or my imagination, but the power I felt quickly made me remember another essence I had felt before.

"It is indeed quite surprising how you came all the way here to bring me this piece, you have my thanks."

A smile surged on my dragon jaws as I waved my hands, the sea controlled by the Kraken swiftly began losing its strength, as I started to manipulate it on my own. The giant monster lost its grip on the sea, as I smiled evilly.

"GRUOOOHHH!"

The Kraken roared furiously underwater, which generated ripples in the sea, which then shaped as piercing vortexes.

"If I freeze this entire place the ship is going to get stuck so let's be a bit more gentle here… It is a nice opportunity to try out my new water divinity anyways…"

I charged Mana and Divine Power into my claws as manipulated the sea currents and then redirected them back to the Kraken. This time, the water current stook the shape of a furious and ferocious water dragon, biting and piercing through the soft flesh of the Kraken.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"GRUOOOHH!"

The Kraken attacked with its tentacles, but I swung my dragon claws carefreely, cutting them on my way to the monster's body. At the same time, I saw Leviathan attacking the Kraken, as we were able to divide the monster's attention between the two, giving me more space.

"ROOOAR!"

Leviathan ferociously started biting and tearing apart the Kraken' body, it seems she had already fought and eaten this monster's kin before, although this one might be a bit stronger than the ones she usually ate.

CLAAASH!

I reached the Kraken's head and used my claws to pierce through its skin, diving through flesh, innards and blood and then reaching the Kraken's deepest core.

FLAAAASH!

A sudden flash of bright blue light emerged from within, as I saw a blue-colored crystalline piece of item in there. It was floating with utmost tranquility, but I knew very well what it was. That thing was the blue elemental orb!

Or well, more like a shard of it.

I remember that Yggdrasil told me there were around three or four shards of each of these shattered orbs. And that they were spread around the world, lost. I was able to sense them and even… attract them to myself now that I held their "spiritual cores".

She had told me that monsters could hold these shards, but I didn't believed her completely back then… Now I can tell that its true. These shards might be already within the possession of monsters that devoured them already to gain power.

This enormously gargantuan kraken was probably the result of the orb's shards powers boosting it to this level of power.

"Thanks for the gift, friend. I'll be taking it from you now."

I quickly grabbed the shard and mercilessly tore it apart from the Kraken's innards, the entire monster was already dying as I tore its innards apart mercilessly, flying out of its body from the head out into the surface of the sea.

SPLAAAASH!

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

The enormous Kraken suddenly couldn't control the enormous leftover energy of the shard and exploded on the spot, pieces of tentacles flying into the skies and falling as if octopus was raining.

"Wow you did it! It was way easier than I imagined." Belle suddenly popped out of thin air, sitting over my dragon head. "I guess you didn't required the assistance of the great me."

"You're getting a bit cocky aren't cha?" I sighed. "Well, whatever… I got something very interesting out of this…"

I looked into the glowing, blue-colored shard, my luck was completely insane if I found it right away. I guess the power of the Fate stat really did affected my luck and meld reality to favor me a bit… This is indeed a good start.
