Chapter 339 - Splashing Waves(Part-3) (1/2)

”Charge charge forward!”

”We will not falter hold the line.”

Various cries well more like echo in the water had filled Ryuu's ears as he watched from behind a rock formation as a group of fish like people fighting against what seemed to be a gigantic octopus.

'Hmmm, this people seemed to be something akin to be mermaid/mermen from folk lore of my previous life but that beast is a 700 foot big octopus is that the thing called 'kraken'? now if I help them will they reciprocate in kind? Oh well I will know in a few moment.'

”HIRO!! Look out!!!”, a cry of anguish came from one of those merman as person wearing golden armor and peac.o.c.k green looked at the approaching tentacle with horror in his face, he could not move fast enough but before the tentacle reached him he the creature let out a cry of anguish as the tentacle was cut off.

The battle stop abruptly as a voice spoke drawing their attention towards Ryuu, ”I am sorry for crashing the party but do you need any help.”

The person called Hiro nodded as he spoke, ”Please bother any form of help is appreciated.”

Ryuu nodded as he dodged a couple of tentacle, strikes easily while he slashed at another tentacle causing a sonic roar to erupt as Ryuu winced at that before he growled in anger, ”Damn you takoyaki reject stop trying to rupture my ear drum.”

Ryuu moved with incredible agility as the tentacles tried to ensnare him only for him to slip, the octopus then released a large load of inky black liquid trying to blind Ryuu but he was prepared, while he slashed and cut off the tentacles he had also let a few of them to escape on purpose as it suddenly screamed as Ryuu activated those array which started to boil it alive, as it thrashed Ryuu had already reached it as he swung his blade cleaving the beast in half effectively, it thrashed around for sometime before it finally died causing a cheer to appear from the soldiers.

Hiro swam towards him as he spoke with a grateful tone, ”Thank you so much strange creature, you have saved my people and my life from certain death, you have my eternal gratitude.”

Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, ”There is no need to thank me anyone in my place would help you.”, as he spoke Ryuu deduced from his interactions with Hiro and his group the person in front of him should be someone high up on the social structure by the way everyone spoke and acted near him.

Ryuu looked around slightly as he spoke while cupping his hand, ”My name is Ryuu and if I may be a bold enough to inquire about your identity and ask you where am I? And what was this fight all about?”

Hiro looked at him imitating his gesture but from what Ryuu noticed he was a tad bit clumsy as he spoke with a smile, ”My friend my name is Hiro Kymopoleia, Prince of the Holy Brirus Empire, and you are in the 'Central Rift Ocean' and as for the creature you killed well we call him them the 'Children of the Great One'.”, he finished with a wary smile on his face causing Ryuu to tilt his head slightly with confusion, as many had simply flinched upon hearing that.

”Who is this 'Great One'?”

At his innocent question it seemed as if he had literally plunged the entire area further into the cold abyss, as all others except the Prince flinched at the name.

Hiro scowled at that as he spoke, ”The Great one is….”
