< Chapter 88 - The Horn of the Holy Spirit #5 >
“Stop it!”
The moment Kaisa shouted again, the Sirens turned toward the ripples. Each summoned spirits or used magic to block them.
Kugugugugugugugugu-!
The ripples crashed with a dull sound, as if they were waves crashing against a breakwater. But the aftershocks shook the Sirens. And that wasn’t the end of it. The ripples surged in once more.
“Kraken!”
Uther understood the situation. The Kraken, trapped in the seal, was causing ripples from afar, shaking the Sirens’ formation. It must have been an application of its ability to summon storms.
Kugugugugugugugugu-!
The second wave broke.
The elementals who had been wrapping the seal around the current in case of an emergency diverted the current to block the ripples, and Sarandis, who had finished casting the spell, opened his eyes wide and grabbed his trident.
And at that moment, the Kraken’s second counterattack began.
Tsuk-!
A hole in the seal was vomited out and black ink poured out.
As the current covering the seal was lifted, it poured straight out, not only turning the surrounding area pitch black, but also swallowing up the Sirens in the line.
“Ahhhh!”
The sirens screamed and writhed in the pitch-black water, due to the powerful poison mixed in the ink.
“Sarandis!”
Uther shouted. And even before the shout reached Sarandis, he already knew what he had to do. Instead of hesitating in confusion, he threw the Trident of the Sea God with all his might.
“Haaah!”
Kwagagagagagagang-!
Despite being underwater, there was a huge thunderclap.
The sea god’s trident, covered in golden lightning, pierced through space in an instant, and the shockwave that arose as it split through the water instantly scattered the Kraken’s ink.
And that’s why Yuder could see.
Sarandis, who was positioned in front, could also be seen.
Boom!
The ceiling of the Sealed Inferno collapsed as the Kraken burst through the ceiling and rose up.
thud!
The Trident of the Sea God struck the ground, and the Kraken, still impaled by the Seal of Light, swung its dozens of legs simultaneously and struggled. Even as it was dragged back to the ground by the force of the Seal of Light, it released a powerful magical force.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Kraken’s legs could not reach the Sirens. Although they were dozens of meters long, there was still more distance between them and the Kraken.
But the Kraken’s struggles were not limited to that.
The shockwave generated by swinging his leg engulfed the Sirens. The magical power he emitted penetrated the consciousness of the Sirens who were using their magic.
“Ahhhh!”
The Sirens who had been using their magic screamed and fell to the ground. The bodies of the Sirens who had been hit by the shockwave were shattered. The barrage of fire towards the natural Kraken had to slow down, and at that moment, Uder realized its purpose.
Because I saw the bastard’s two yellow eyes looking at the magic circle spread out above his head.
“Cling to me!”
Just then, Sarandis gave the order.
The cavalry waiting on the left and right charged towards the Kraken, and Kai’sa also grabbed her trident among them.
Malthias, who was standing beside Illyana, who was still concentrating her consciousness on the Seal of Light, relayed new orders to the spirit masters.
“Crush it with the current!”
The idea was to push the Kraken back so that he couldn’t touch the magic circle.
But it wasn’t easy. Even in the midst of all this, the Kraken was causing a storm. With additional ripples continuing to surge in, if the currents were to be turned, the Sirens who were maintaining the Light Sealing Sword would be swept away by the shockwaves.
——————–!
It was then that the clash between the cavalry and the kraken began.
The Kraken thrashed, swinging its dozens of legs simultaneously, while the cavalry swarmed between them, each burying their weapons into the creature’s body.
But it was such a huge Kraken. Even though it was a huge spear to the Sirens, it was just a small thorn to it, so just poking at its surface was not enough to properly damage it.
“Lady Cordelia!”
Chloe looked back at Cordelia. So did Sarandis.
During this time, Cordelia was the only one who could deliver a decisive blow to the Kraken.
And Cordelia acted instinctively. She hurled the spear of Calamite at the Kraken.
Tsukwahaaaaaah-!
The Kraken writhed even more violently as it saw the spear of Calamite flying towards it with terrifying momentum, but it was unable to make a proper evasive maneuver because of the light sealing sword.
Calamite’s spear sank into the Kraken’s torso, causing it to thrash about even louder, screaming in agony.
—————-!
It worked.
But Cordelia did not create a second spear of Calamite. Instead of summoning the Spirit King, she turned to Uther.
As always, Cordelia had a gut feeling.
The Kraken could not be defeated in the same way as before.
In reality, the Seal of Light was gradually becoming weaker.
“Uder.”
Cordelia also looked at Uther. And nodded. As always, she activated Plan B that she had prepared.
Cordelia used message magic to convey what she observed and thought of when she blew the spear of Calamite.
Quagga River!
The ripples caused by the Kraken grew stronger.
The creature spurted ink again, and the cavalry that had been nearby hurriedly pulled themselves back. But Kaisar did not do so. He cursed and drove his already-embedded trident deeper into the Kraken’s brain.
—————-!
Even if it was a small thorn, if it was embedded deep in the body, the story would be different.
The kraken thrashed and screamed, spewing ink high into the air, covering it.
And Uther and Cordelia didn’t miss that gap.
“Lady Cordelia?!”
Instead of answering Chloe’s call, Cordelia unfurled her wings. She flew towards the ground, while Uther, in return, fired a wave of air and displayed Landius’s unique flying technique. She rushed towards the Kraken.
“Die! Die!”
Kaisa drove another trident she had been holding nearby into the Kraken’s head. She was chewing and swallowing the poison mixed in the ink with such tenacity.
—————-!
The Kraken roared. It slammed its legs against itself to try to do something to Kai’sa, and Kai’sa dodged, dodging the creature’s legs. And at some point, Uther’s strong arms wrapped around Kai’sa’s waist.
“omg?”
Kaiser looked back at Uther in surprise, but Uther didn’t even look at Kaiser. He simply fired his blast again, quickly maneuvered, and dodged the Kraken’s legs, soaring toward the sky where the magic circle was spread out.
The magic sword of light became weaker and weaker.
The Kraken glared at Uther and Kai’sa with its yellow eyes, and once again unleashed a powerful blast of magic, making sure the Sirens would not dare to rush towards it.
And Uther glared at the Kraken. He roughly threw Kaisha away and recited the nine heavenly gates. He opened the sixth gate and activated the power of the black sun.
Kwakang!
Everyone on the battlefield turned to look at Yuder at the unleashing of boundless power. Even Kaisha, who had been swearing as she was roughly thrown around, could not help but admire Yuder’s immense power.
Because of this, the Kraken once again focused its gaze on Uther.
Just as Yuder wished.
—————-!
The Kraken no longer made ripples. Instead of struggling against the Seal of Light, it scattered sea-demon curses around it.
“Ahhhh!”
The Sirens screamed, clutching their heads. Caesar also writhed in pain, groaning.
This was the result of further strengthening the Kraken’s unique mental attack that causes fear and terror in those who look at it.
But Uder didn’t care.
He protected his spirit with the supernatural power he gained by opening the Nine Heavenly Gate and the Sixth Gate.
Instead of feeling fear and dread, they faced the Kraken with anger and hostility.
The Kraken stretched out its legs toward Yuder. Dozens of tentacles attached to its mouth grew in an instant, trying to grab Yuder.
Uder calmly displayed the swordsmanship of Velencia. He released sword energy from his limbs, cut the tentacles, and protected himself. He held his current position.
If the Kraken had charged and attacked directly, even Uder would not have been able to perform the same acrobatics as he did now, but the Kraken was currently bound by the Light Seal Sword. He couldn’t do anything to Uder by simply stretching his legs from a distance.
The Sirens, who had just come to their senses at the amazing performance of Uther, were amazed, but Sarandis clenched her teeth.
It was clear that Uther’s power was great, but he realized that he could not defeat the Kraken this way.
I had to concentrate my power again. The Seal of Light wouldn’t last long, so I had to strike a fatal blow at the bastard in the meantime.
‘The Trident of the Sea God.’
It had to be recovered. It had missed the target, so the Trident still had some of its concentrated power left.
Sarandis looked quickly towards the floor. And he couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
Because the Sea God’s Trident has disappeared.
And that was the moment.
[Uderuuu!]
Cordelia screamed.
Plan B.
Not killing the Kraken, but resealing it!
Cordelia, who was holding the Sea God’s Trident, inserted the trident into the seal located inside the seal, where Pergio’s crystal orb was originally located.
But it wasn’t just this much that the seal was reactivated.
That’s why Cordelia took further action.
Using the power contained in the Trident as a resource, he poured magical power into the sealing sphere while simultaneously bringing the Moon Light to the sealing sphere.
“balm!”
[Look for it only in times like this!]
Although Melissa was complaining, she still responded to Cordelia’s wish as expected of a kind and gentle spirit.
The elves of Pergio shared the same roots as the elves of the Magic Kingdom of Magellan, so Melissa was able to utilize the ancient magical systems that the Sirens had abandoned because they could not handle them.
“Ohhhhhhh!”
Replace Pergio’s crystal ball with the Sea God’s Trident. Cordelia herself will supplement the missing magical power!
I used all the magical power recovery and amplification items I received from the Sirens.
The sealing technique system that Melissa had ordered was restarted, and the powerful sealing power that overwhelmed the Light Sealing Sword began to pull the Kraken.
———————————-!
The Kraken struggled and resisted, but the sealing power was on a different level from that of the Light Sealing Sword.
It wasn’t long before he realized that he would have to be sealed again.
—–!
——!
—————-!
That’s why the Kraken prepared a powerful curse.
Even if the humans in front of him were numerous, they were there to at least give death to the Sirens.
But Uther wouldn’t sit by and watch.
The moment the bastard prepared the cursed magic, he rushed towards him in the opposite direction from before.
In a final desperate attempt, he thrust his sharp sword into the head of the bastard who was about to utter a curse – to be exact, he landed on the bastard’s eyeball that Cordelia had destroyed.
But from the Kraken’s perspective, it was still just a small thorn.
So, rather than screaming, the Kraken ignored it and tried to unleash its curse.
But this time, Yuder was a little faster.
I put my thoughts into action as I watched Cordelia exhaust all of her magical power at once to summon the Spirit King’s right arm.
Black sun.
Until now, Yuder has only used the power of the Black Sun to create powerful energy waves or to strengthen the energy of the Black Dragon.
But this time it was different.
Just like Cordelia, she released all of her energy at once.
Instead of applying it to technology or creating waves, it focuses on the pure power of the sun.
Extreme yin contrasted with extreme positive.
Although it is black, it clearly has the power of the sun.
At that moment, the Ultimate Sun God Art was activated on its own.
The power of the extreme sun possessed by the black sun has been maximized.
light.
And open.
The true power of the sun radiates through Yuder’s fingertips!
———————————-!
The kraken screamed.
I cried.
I was so shocked by the excruciating pain I experienced when I was first born that I almost lost my mind.
The bastard’s head was on fire.
The relentless heat of the sun was turning his head into a mess.
—————————-!
The Kraken could no longer resist.
He couldn’t even release the cursed magic, he just screamed.
[Uder!]
Uther responded to Cordelia’s call. He retrieved the spear he had stabbed and kicked the Kraken’s head. Uther, who had lost all his energy and was unable to move, was caught by Kai’sa.
“balm!”
When Cordelia saw this, she urged Melissa to activate the final stage of the spell.
At the same time as temporarily sealing the unconscious Kraken, a door to subspace was opened.
Kugu-!
The Kraken’s massive body struck the floor of the seal, causing a vibration, and that was the end.
The pitch-black subspace swallowed the Kraken once again, just as it had done long ago.
The seal was completed.
“Ha, ah······.”
Cordelia gasped, leaning against the Sea God’s Trident, now a full part of the seal.
He slowly raised his head and smiled at the sight of Uther lying limp in Caesar’s arms.
Even though the seal was repelled, several pure white rings of light appeared all over Yuder’s body.
And right after that.
That’s when Cordelia began counting the number of rings of light surrounding her body.
“Woooooooooooo!”
“I won!”
“The Kraken has been defeated!”
The Sirens cried out and cheered, rejoicing and chanting the names of Uther and Cordelia.
Cordelia laughed along, although she couldn’t hear properly because she was underwater. She sat down on the floor, slumped over, and picked up the Moonlight as she spoke.
“We won.”
[Congratulations.]
Melissa said plainly, and Cordelia laughed again.
Even in the midst of victory, Melissa seemed slightly upset, so she kissed Moonlight’s golden jewel.
