Chapter 80 - Is This Really Happening Again? 4 (2/2)
“That one, and that one!Hit them!”
“Ooh-goo-ahhhhhhh.All righhhhhhhht!”
There was a flurry of lasers, ink and tentacles coming towards her, yet Maetel didn’t allow these attacks to hit her.She even increased her speed further.It made it harder for Sienna to swing her hammer, but she didn’t have time to complain about it!
“Hoohp!Hoo-ooooooh-ahp!”
[Koo-ha-ah! Koo-wee-ooh-ahhhhhhh!]
Sienna followed Maetel’s direction.She swung her hammer with all her might, and she sent two additional fragments towards the Kraken.The Kraken controlled its lasers to shoot down one fragment, but it was helplessly struck by the remaining fragment.
Since both sides had increased their speed, the impulse generated was much larger.The fragments infused to the brim with Sienna’s holy power exploded after being embedded deep within the Kraken’s body.It caused profound damage to the Kraken’s enormous demonic energy.
[Koo-ahhhhhhhhhhh!]
The Kraken was going completely insane.Ink was pouring out of it, yet the hero’s party was still able to run away from the Kraken!Artpe caught up with his party around this time.
“What an absolute mess····· Roa!”
[Nyaa nyaa nyaa-ahhhhhht!]
Roa, who was being held close to Artpe’s bosom, opened her mouth.This was obvious, but she was sucking in the ink being released by the Kraken!
“Aht······ Artpe!”
“Don’t look back!Just run!”
The ocean water had been dyed black.When the ocean water regained its normal color, the Kraken’s control over the ambient Mana lessened.Maetel and Sienna started running away at a much faster speed.
[Koo-ohhhhhhhng!]
The Kraken immediately perceived Artpe’s presence, so it turned its head to look at him.At that moment, a fragment sent by Sienna embedded itself inside the Kraken’s head before exploding.It had no choice, but to change direction again.
In the next moment, Artpe’s several dozen Mana Strings took control of a falling temple fragment, and he threw it.It pierced through a tentacle.He couldn’t borrow Sienna’s Mana, but he could cause sufficient damage with just the temple fragments.
[Kweeeek, kwee-ooh-ahhhhh!]
The Kraken was being assaulted by troublesome attacks from both sides.The creature of the ocean felt as if would pass away from the stress.Moreover, it had spread its ink to dominate the field, yet it was being sucked away into some unknown place!
“Maetel, I want you to increase your speed!Sienna, you are doing well!Keep attacking with the fragments!”
“It is easier said than done!”
However, she obediently followed Artpe’s words by increasing her speed.She made it look easy.Artpe followed after them, and he once again threw multiple fragments towards the back of the Kraken’s head.Then he used consecutive Blinks to arrive next to Maetel.
“Artpe, you better be prepared after this ends.”
“I did all of this to save both of you. Anyways, we have to change our tactic.”
Artpe took hold of Maetel with one hand, and he used his other hand to get ahold of Sienna.Maetel’s Acceleration was fast, but it was slower than Artpe’s Blink.He could travel a distance of several hundred meters with a single Blink.It was time for him to turn the table.
He gave orders to his party members as he used Blink to dodge the Kraken and the temple fragments.
“Roa!You should suck in everything you can!Ah, I want you to store the ink separately.”
[Nyaa-ahhhhh, nyaa nyaa-ahhh-nyaa!]
She grumbled that he was a very bad owner.However, Roa obediently followed his order.Then he gave orders to Maetel, who had passed the baton off to Artpe.She had nothing to do after he had shown up.
“Is it possible to share the power of Acceleration using Record Divide?”
“Ah. ······yes.”
They were in a desperate situation, yet there was a slight pause before Maetel gave her reply.It meant she felt guilty about something.As he had suspected, she had been sharing her Acceleration ability with her party members all along!
However, this wasn't something he should call her out on.He was thankful, since they were able to accomplish many things thanks to her sharing her ability with them.Artpe decided not to interrogate her.
“All right. While you share your Acceleration with Sienna, I want you to destroy any obstacles we can’t dodge using your long sword’s beam.”
“Yes!”
The Kraken was either sending several dozen streams of waters or its tentacles.They were all being stopped by Artpe’s barriers.Still, Artpe couldn’t to several dozen task at once, so he decided to shift a portion of his burden to Maetel.
“Sienna, you are on offense.Your attack power will increase when you receive the Acceleration ability!I want you to hit only the biggest fragments!”
“I am confident, oppa!”
“Let’s do this!”
He used consecutive Blinks to travel several hundred meters.One of the temple’s pillars appeared right in front of them!
“Hoo-ahhhhhhhp!”
Sienna used the Kraken’s power and the power of vibration to strike the pillar with all her might.The pillar broke into several dozen fragments, and they were sent towards the Kraken, who had been chasing after them!
[Koo-goo-oh-ahhhhhhhh!]
[Nyaa!Nyaa nyaa-aht!]
Roa had absorbed all of its ink, so they no longer had to worry about dodging the lasers that had formed from all directions.That’s right.When Artpe and Roa joined the fray, the Kraken was surprisingly ineffective in its attacks!
[Kyaa-hahhhhhhh!Kee-oh-ahhhhhhhk!]
It couldn’t kill the annoying heroes.It couldn’t even catch up to them.It was being continuously pelted by the temple fragments, and its health was starting to approach a dangerous territory.Finally, the Kraken’s anger reached a critical point.!
“Crazy!”
In that moment, the several dozen water lasers doubled then tripled.Then an overwhelming amount of ink was spouted from the Kraken.Even Roa would have a hard time eating such a large amount of ink.The Kraken used the ink to instantly dominate the surrounding ambient Mana.The Kraken’s body was peppered with holes, and blood shot out from these critical injuries instead of water.It added to the speed of the Kraken’s charge!
“Artpe, its gaining on us!We are really going to get caught!”
“Oppa, I don’t see anymore good fragments I can use to attack it!At this rate we really…..”
“We really will…..!”
Artpe shouted.
“There’s the exit!I want you to strike that!”
“Yes!”
Sienna obediently followed Artpe’s words.After Sienna struck the ceiling, Artpe used one last Blink to exit the underground tunnel.Afterwards, a horrific earthquake shook the region.It sounded like a thunder storm.The underground tunnel collapsed accompanying an explosive roar!
[Koo-ooooh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
The Ancient Kraken let out a cry.However, its lasers nor its tentacles could chase after the party members.
The Ancient Kraken was buried alongside the temple and the underground tunnel.
