49 Episode 49: Seaside Towns and Squid Problems (2/2)

Apparently, Mr. Liliera and Moffmoff don't like flying in the sky.

”Okay. Then I'll be there.”

”Yeah, you go”

◆

When I reach the depths of the inner ocean with flying magic, I just run exploratory magic.

”... two nearby”

Confirm the two Krakens at the bottom.

And I feel one near each town in the inner ocean, except the town of Physio, and one at the center of it.

Maybe, but I guess they have their own territory where there's a lot of feeding.

It's usually a place with lots of fish and a place where you can eat shelled food from humans.

It then travels along the inner ocean and to the estuary.

”Hmm, looks like there's no Kraken on the way to the estuary.”

And rather than say, Kraken doesn't seem to recognize it as a territory because the narrow river part has shallower depths than the inner ocean body.

Well, that still seems to be a dozen meters deep.

”Well, I guess I figured out the number of Krakens. Nevertheless, you don't have to be territorial to get out to sea.”

Then it doesn't seem strange to go out into a wider, feed-rich outer sea.

Or is that also why you don't want to leave?

”Well, that doesn't matter now.”

Shall we go back to town then... No, I think I'll go that way before then.

I went back to King's Capital once at the gate to get the tools I needed to get rid of Kraken.

◆

”Then I'll start exorcising Kraken from this!

We came back to port to get rid of Kraken.

”” ”” Ooh!

This is my second crusade, so the fishermen and sailors who were around me cheer.

”Thank you very much.”

In addition, Mr. Ronzen and the guild leaders of each town were present this time.

”Yeah, I'll take care of it.... by the way”

I look around at the fishermen.

”Wasn't it top secret that Kraken was here?

Everyone normally accepts Kraken's exorcism.

”Yeah, I know most of the guys who work in the ocean around here. I keep it a secret from strangers and people who work on land.”

Is it because the subject of confidentiality was different so far?

”So, how do you take them down?

”Kraken first, but we have confirmed all seven”

”Seven!? Were you there?!?”

Everyone in the harbor shouts surprise knowing Kraken is there more than expected.

”Fortunately, we couldn't confirm Kraken's appearance until we got to the mouth of the river, so I think crusading Kraken, who is in the inner ocean, will solve the problem.”

Well, it doesn't necessarily mean Kraken's kids aren't coming from the outer sea again.

”Well, can you defeat so many Krakens!?”

”Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry.”

Answer with a smile to the guild leader who sounds worried.

”How exactly do we take them down?

Right, the explanation is important.

I'll give the guild leaders an overview of Kraken's exorcism.

”In the first place. Fighting demons in the water is inevitable because the wounded opponent escapes into the water”

Well, that would make it magical to attack enemies in the water. You can use magic items, but still, fighting opponents who can move freely in the water is no trouble.

”So first we lose water and drag our opponents out to the ground”

”” ”” ”What?

”Well, more evidence than theory, let's actually do it and see”

When I rise in the sky with flying magic, I come to the heart of the inner ocean.

And with exploratory magic, he grasped Kraken's position in the center, and unleashed magic toward him.

”High microburst!”

Towards the sea level, the magic bursts that generates polar and fast descending airflow.

The localized winds are knocked out at high speeds in a range of nearly 3 km, and the sea water of the inner ocean is bounced around at once, rising into the air.

If you look at the sea level under your eyes, the sea was temporarily dried up due to the loss of sea water.

And beneath the sea was the figure of Kraken, blown to sea level by a high microburst.

”All right, next!

When I took the giant pile out of the magic bag, I bent it over Kraken and threw it.

”No! Elder Plant Stake!”

As its name suggests, a giant pile made of elder plants flies towards Kraken.

Yes, I returned to Wang Capital to further develop my journey from there to the Forest of Warcraft to harvest the material Elder Plant.

Kraken tried to escape, but the giant, which took the form of being raised to a simulated land, could not move well because of its own weight.

And piles flying at high speeds pierce Kraken's body.

A little while later, the surrounding seawater poured into the area where it had become a blank zone, and more splashy seawater became rain, returning to the inner ocean.

Then I pull the rope that was connected to the pile I made at the Elder Plant and retrieve Kraken for each pile.

”Come on, let's retrieve the rest of Kraken”

In a similar way, I will crusade Kraken one after the other.

And crusade all Kraken.

Heh heh, without water, I wouldn't be scared enough to say Kraken.

”All right, Kraken, the exorcism is over!

Back at the harbor, I line up Kraken and the others in the open space.

Yeah, I knew this Kraken was smaller than I know Kraken.

”And well, it's like this mon”

And when I look back, I report to the guild leaders who were waiting on the spot.

……

But the guild leaders just shudder and say nothing.

Is that it? Is something wrong? Could it not have been explained enough?

”Well, not just Kraken, but the vermin exorcism is exploratory magic. As long as you can grasp the exact position and number, all you have to do is hit the attack later. It's not that hard to get rid of them if you know how to get rid of them.”

”” ”” ”No, the trick must be normal!!” ””

Um? Oops. Nah. I put it into practice and showed it to you.

A little out of the ocean, it's a strawberry, isn't it?
