Chapter 245: Divine Spirits Whistle (4) (1/2)

“Do you really need all these things to summon the Spirit King?”

“Yes, it’s absolutely necessary. It’s a must.”

Malthias Barranto from the Barranto family had no choice but to furrow her brows when Jude answered her question with a steady gaze and confident voice.

‘Some of it makes sense.’

The items Jude had requested.

Most of the items were related to magic, such as items that amplified or restored mana, or items that granted attributes and so on.

‘But still, isn’t this a little too much?’

Do you really need a trident that releases lightning magic or a magic tool that reads the flow of the atmosphere in order to summon the Spirit King?

I mean, Ynix is definitely the Spirit King of Storms and Lightning, so those items are somewhat related to him, but…

And it was at that moment.

Jude said with a very serious expression.

“This may be a rude question, but has Lady Malthias ever summoned a Spirit King?”

“No, but it’s just…”

Malthias, whose words trailed off in the end, eventually had no choice but to groan and step back.

Jude didn’t say it out loud, but Malthias could understand what Jude wanted to say by just looking at Jude’s eyes.

‘Oh, are you really saying that? Our side has summoned him. We need these things to summon the Spirit King. Ah, of course you might not know about that since you’ve never summoned him. I understand. Yes, I understand. You’ve never summoned him before, so what can I do?’

It was Jude’s unique way of saying ‘So how can you verify it?’

He managed to push ahead by using his advantage of having complete information, but in fact, it was also because of the peculiarity of the situation that this coercion worked.

‘Because they have to defeat the Kraken.’

Moreover, it was also true that Cordelia was the contractor of the Spirit King.

What could she do if the Spirit King’s contractor actually needed those to summon the Spirit King? And their fight against an enemy called the Kraken was just around the corner.

For Malthias, there was nothing she could do but believe in them.

And at this scene that took place after the meeting was over, Cordelia pulled Kajsa’s sleeve who was standing next to her as they watched Jude’s discussion with Malthias Barranto at the Gallas’ mansion.

“Kajsa, Kajsa.”

“Why?”

When Cordelia called her in a low voice, Kajsa unconsciously tilted her head and answered in a small voice. Cordelia then said with a smile.

“My Jude is amazing, right? Isn’t he?”

Kajsa blankly stared at Cordelia who was eager to show off, and she pinched Cordelia’s cheek before turning to Jude and Malthias. Cordelia pulled her sleeve again, but Kajsa ignored it as she thought.

‘I should be careful too when I go home.’

She was sure that Jude and Cordelia would try to rip her off of this and that in return for saving her.

Furthermore, her wild instincts were telling her.

These two are genuine…

‘They’re… a genuine scammer couple!’

Kajsa trembled when she thought of those words that perfectly described the two.

After his negotiation with Malthias, Jude winked at Cordelia, who gave him a thumbs up and praised him excessively.

***

Their busy schedules continued after their meeting with Malthias.

Because they wanted to completely defeat the Kraken while it was still staying inside the seal.

Iliana Calacanis, the queen of the sirens, was a powerful and mighty ruler who led with absolute power and authority unlike her delicate appearance.

When she decided to fight against the Kraken, the entire country prepared for war without any objections.

“The basis of this battle is the human wave attack.”

The operation set up by Sarandis Vassallo from the Vassallo family was simple and effective.

“A hundred spirit warriors from each family will block the Kraken’s movement, and the rest of the armed forces will concentrate their firepower to completely kill the monster.”

In Legend of Heroes 2, Sarandis appeared as one of the seven sirens serving Malekith, just like Siren Queen Iliana, and was like a completely different person then, though her appearance was the same.

In the game, she was a witch overflowing with sexiness, but the current Sarandis was a spirit knight who had the solemnity peculiar to warriors.

“Please look here.”

When Sarandis moved her finger, a hemispherical structure appeared in the air.

It was an image of the seal that was used by Perigeo’s elves to seal the Kraken.

“The width of the seal’s inside is just good enough for a Kraken to lie down. In short, if we keep it inside the seal and attack it through a hole in the upper right corner, the Kraken will not be able to avoid the attacks. It will have no choice but to receive the attacks.”

The sirens nodded as she pointed to a large hole that the Kraken was believed to have used to exit the seal. Because it seemed to them that it was actually possible to defeat the Kraken as long as it all went according to plan.

‘It’s quite attractive that the operation itself is simple.’

Because the longer and more complex an operation would be, the higher the chance of failure.

In that sense, the simple plan of holding down the Kraken, which was already in the seal, and defeating it with concentrated attacks, seemed to guarantee the success of the operation.

“Lady Cordelia, we would like thee to lend thy strength to increase our firepower.”

Sarandis’ words drew the attention of the family heads, and Cordelia nodded her head while slightly nervous.

“Yes, I understand.”

She had to be in the attacking group if she wanted to deal the last hit.

Though it was questionable if she could deal the last hit in such a large-scale operation.

In any case, once the details of the plan were decided, Siren Queen Iliana who had been watching quietly then opened her mouth again.

“All right, there’s no point in delaying it any longer. Let’s begin our final preparations. We’ll head out in two hours.”

To begin with, doing something like a practice run for this operation was impossible.

Moreover, they did not know when the Kraken will come out of the seal, so they had to move as quickly as they could.

“We receive thy commands.”

The family heads led by Sarandis then bowed down and received her orders, and Jude and Cordelia also showed their respect to the queen in accordance with the etiquette of the Sälen Kingdom.

And two hours later.

The siren’s operation to defeat the Kraken finally began.

***

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the drums caused great ripples as it surprisingly spread well despite being underwater.

Together with the sirens from the Gallas family, Jude and Cordelia stood on a battle chariot pulled by four seahorses, and they unconsciously let out voices of admiration because of the sight that unfolded in front of their eyes.

“Wow…”

There were sirens everywhere.

Hundreds of sirens in their mermaid forms were gathered together with their families as they lined up in an orderly manner, and a hundred cavalry rode on top of various huge animals, such as seahorses and domesticated sharks, as they showed off their splendor on the left and right.

The infantry in the center. The cavalry on the left and right. And spirit warriors who rode on battle chariots while on the second row.

And finally, a very huge sea turtle tank was at the end with Siren Queen Iliana on board.

“It’s completely like a tank. No, it’s not a tank, but what should I call that? A mobile fortress?”

Jude nodded as Cordelia pointed to it. Since the giant sea turtle had a shell of around 30 meters in diameter, it was different from a normal tank.
