Ed felt rejuvenated, as he ranked up once more. He was now Immortal Establishment level 4, and with his Berserk power-up, level 8. His worn out body felt slightly better, as his muscles healed themselves, and his bones became sturdier than ever. The battleground all over him exploded by the power-ups of his comrades. Emilia and the others each ranked up once.
Gobuta, who had the upper hand against the Kraken, started to overwhelm it completely. Out of the twelve limbs that the Kraken enjoyed using, only four remained. Even though it was a specialist at healing and regeneration, Gobuta's darkness made it so that its Qi couldn't do much against it. Dark flames spread all over the Kraken's body, and it looked in pain. Its eyes and eyebrows furrowed deeply, as it released a roar from its circle mouth. Hundreds of teeth, and dozens of sets. It lunged forwards; it tried to eat Gobuta.
However, far from getting away, Gobuta smiled and lowered his weapon. He stretched his free arm as if welcoming the Kraken's desperate attack. The figure of Gobuta disappeared instantly, and the Kraken didn't even bother to chew. It knew that its teeth weren't capable of penetrating the thick skin of the Ogre, so it left that job to its stomach acids, one of its trump cards.
The Kraken looked smug, as Gobuta was now buried under liters of corrosive liquids. It turned around to look at its master, who was overwhelming the silver-haired girl that stood in his way. Then, it looked all around the battlefield, waiting for the Ogre's friends to come and attack it in order to save him. But, everyone seemed to be chilling and watching the battle of WarGreymon and the Calamity Black Dragon.
It decided that this was the best time to act, and it approached its master. It slithered on the ground, as it couldn't move normally thanks to its missing limbs. One step, two stepsfive steps in and the Kraken stopped.
Pain. Pain? The Kraken looked worried. It knew that it was nothing more than an imprint of a soul, as it had lost its body long ago. It knew that it was turned into an Avatar and that it served the Poison sect's master. It knew that it lost all feelings. Yet, earlier it felt fear. And now, it was feeling pain. Sharp burning pain like a thousand burning swords piercing its stomach.
Why? How could it be? The Ogre which should be dead rampaged inside of its stomach. It roared as it realized its impending doom, and it felt more fear than the first time it died. When Avatars were destroyed, they regenerated afterward after feeding on their master's QI. Yet, the Kraken felt like such was not the case for it. What would happen when a soul is completely destroyed? It was about to find out.
Gobuta, inside of the Kraken's stomach, released all of his QI. His Enhancer's Nen spiked to its maximum mixed together with the aura he was releasing. The tattoos that filled his body shone with dark purple light and released black smoke all around it. The black smoke fused with the QI and the Nen and exploded outwards. The Purple flames instantly vaporized the stomach acids that would have otherwise harmed Gobuta. The initial explosion carried the flames farther, and the further it went, the stronger it became.
The inner walls of meat protecting the Kraken were nothing more than candy for the flames; they burned and melted like marshmallows. The Kraken kept howling in pain, and Sarin shuddered. He had never heard it release such a sound. Not even when he had hunted it all those years ago.
The Kraken's howl stopped midday; its vocal cords and lungs had turned into mush. It bloated up and exploded into nothingness. Bits and pieces of its meat splattered all over the battlefield, dying everything in crimson.
