Track 3 ended before I knew it, and the music box stopped before Track 4 could play.
I carefully capped the reagent bottle and said.
“With this, the contract is concluded. Let’s decide later by mutual agreent how many tears to draw.”
I released the youngest rmaid into the sea and told all the rmaids.
“I’m going to go catch the Kraken now. Could you guide to where he is?”
The twelve rmaids pushed the gondola and started swimming. It was as fast as when the Blue Marlin was pulling us.
Soon, the cold fog lifted, and the boat was out into the rainy sea night again.
“Now leave it to us and you guys stay away. Because we have to fight.”
The rmaids waved their hands and swan away.
The youngest rmaid stayed the last. She stuck her face halfway into the water, bubbling, then she said a word.
“Ok, thank you. Hurry up and follow your sisters.”
Watching the back of the last rmaid shyly disappear, I released the protection from Thesilid and Ash’s ears.
Ash said with a languid smile as if he had been waiting.
“Hmm, I was wondering why sister wanted to hide this dungeon, and it was because of the rmaids?”
“Yes, if you don’t want to be killed, don’t even think about going sowhere to brag about it.”
“Don’t worry. I’m a good secret keeper, and I assu your talk with the rmaids went well?”
“Yes. They agreed to give rmaid tears as long as we deal with the boss.”
“Then we have to attack the boss now, what should we do? Can we go fishing again?”
“Don’t be so eager. You won’t get your share of the boss.”
“I didn’t even expect it. Because I am a rcenary in the first place.”
I liked that he knew his position well.
I have just decided that his salary will be above the market rate.
“Anyway, we go fishing again?”
“No, we don’t have to. Now, only one person has to do it.”
After I finished speaking, I turned to Thesilid.
There was no need for detailed explanations as Thesilid was on his way to complete the needed task, befitting a true regressor.
He’d gutted the giant Marlin he’d caught earlier. The sll of blood was ant to lure in the boss.
“Use this for the fishing line.”
“It’s high-end equipnt.”
While Thesilid was changing the fishing line for the Spirit King’s Harp String, I took a bottle from my inventory and poured it into Marlin’s mouth. A dark green liquid gurgled into the fish’s stomach.
Ash showed interest.
“Looks like poison.”
“As expected, you got the keen eyes of a professional in the field.”
It was an item obtained by killing the Poisonous Dragon in the Tower of Trials a long ti ago.
Thesilid had tightly coiled the Marlin around the end of the Spirit King’s Harp String, which had beco a fishing line.
Now it was ti to sink the massive bait into the depths of the ocean.
“I need sothing that can be used as a weight……”
It didn’t take long for Thesilid to co up with an answer.
He summoned the Holy Sword Libra and stuck it to the Marlin.
Plundg! Shiiiiiii…..
He infused the Holy Sword with aura through the Spirit King’s Harp Strings and the Marlin sank at breakneck speed.
Ash was genuinely amazed.
“Wow, brother. Doesn’t it feel immoral to use a Holy Sword for sothing like that?”
“I don’t.”
Thesilid focused on fishing.
To be precise, he focused on accepting the sensations delivered by the Spirit King’s Harp Strings into his fingertips.
While Thesilid worked to reel in the boss, Ash and I enjoyed a picnic on board with snacks.
“This dacquoise is delicious.” (Ash)
“Eat up, there’s plenty.” (Ellet)
“You should try it too, brother.” (Ash)
“I have my hands full, so I’ll pass.” (Terry)
“Then I will feed you. Ah, go on, brother.” (Ash)
“No thanks……”(Terry)
“Sister, he says he won’t eat, so give the one in your hand, ah~.”(Ash)
“Eat with your own hands.”(Ellet)
“Yes, sister.”(Ash)
Because of that, the dacquoise I was about to feed to Thesilid went into my mouth.
“… … .”
“What’s wrong Terry?”
“……Nothing.”
What do you an by nothing?
When I held out Dacquoise again, he took it well, as if he had been waiting.
[‘The Scales that Judges the Soul’ is pleased.]
[‘The Eyes that watch over the chaos of all things’ smirks, saying she had done that with Bianca so many types to the point of sickiness].
As we were spending such a leisurely ti.
Parururu……
The harp strings connected to the Marlin bait began to vibrate.
“Is it him?”
Thesilid narrowed his eyes and began to reel in the line. He pulled the bait slowly upward, trying to lure it in.
Tong, Tong.
The sea, which had been quite calm in its own way, was disturbingly turbulent.
“Ash, hold on tight.”
After ordering, I grabbed the handrail of the gondola with one hand and Thesilid’s upper arm with the other and right at that mont.
Swiiiiiii!
The water began to spin in a giant circle.
It was a rough and fast current incomparable to when the rmaids were besieging the ship.
[ Warning. A torrential whirlpool occurs.]
A whirlpool, like the entrance to an abyss, was created in the middle of the calm sea.
The gondola we were riding spun frantically around the edge of the vortex. It was a situation where I thought I would get seasick, but that wasn’t the end.
“Here it cos.”
Whooooooooahhhhh!
Giant tentacles sprouted from everywhere. Wriggling as if dancing, they were eight octopus legs.
All of the legs boasted the thickness and length of a beautiful tree and each sucker that covered the surface was as big as a human head.
The sight of each tightening, loosening, and flinching was enough to arouse disgust.
Yes, yes. Agnes.
Thesilid’s hand, which was reeling the fishing line, stopped with a snap.
“He swallowed the bait right under the gondola.”
“Good. Let’s attack from the inside and outside. Terry, you twist his guts with your aura and divine power. I’ll keep him distracted outside.”
“Sister, what about ?”
“Cheering squad.”
Under the circumstances, close dealers are bound to lose their jobs.
I stood up while balancing on the gondola. With a reverent voice, I prepared to summon the god’s mace.
“Sacred power enhancent. Target Stamping. Judgnt Notice. Absolute Execution.”
I looked up as I stacked my auxiliary skills.
Sothing had changed in the night sky.
A thick dark cloud began to circle slowly, like a coiling snake.
Pazik! Pazik!
Blue sparks flickered blindingly.
Soon, what was completed in the sky was a huge whirlwind of lightning that was divided into five branches.
anwhile, the clouds were piling up furry in the form of electricity layer by layer, and that doubled the power of divine lightning.
“Sacred Punishnt!”
The Great Serpent of Lightning wriggled its eight tails.
Kwajijijijijikk!
Powerful thunderbolts rained down from the sky.
Along the rotational trajectory of the tornado, electric shocks raged continuously. It could no longer be seen as a single lightning strike.
It was a tornado of lightning.
The legs of the octopus that soared high above the surface of the water gave way.
The boss struggled as it absorbed the full destructive power of the enhanced Divine Punishnt.
Accordingly, the sea stirred for reasons other than the whirlpool.
We held on tight and held on.
“Sister, the water……!”
The water level was dropping rapidly.
Did the water suddenly disappear? That’s one reason, but there’s another bigger reason.
“Oh, my God!”
Ash caught his breath.
The gondola leaned to one side and slid down. Having barely landed on the sea surface again, we looked back.
Swaaaaaaaa!
Sothing huge rose up from the seawater that was cascading like a waterfall.
A huge aquatic creature that looked like a mixture of squid and octopus glared down at us with eight flashing red eyes.
[ Dungeon owner, 610th place in the Demon World, ‘The Kraken Who Blocked The Sewers’ has appeared!]
That’s right. The thrilling slide we rode down like a ride was the smooth head and body of the Kraken.
“Ugh, hic……I’m scared. sister.”
“Stop the fuss.”
Just then, the Kraken furiously extended its tentacle legs to the gondola we were riding.
It was probably trying to wrap its tentacles around the boat to crush it or drown it in the ocean. But.
Sook!
My whip–swordsmanship and Ash’s dagger skills were not to be ignored.
Suddenly losing one of his legs, the Kraken roared with his mouth wide open in rage.
Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!
“Ew, that’s pretty gross.”
I agree.
The Kraken’s mouth was tongueless, but the entire inner wall of his mouth was covered with teeth or protuberances.
Kyiehhhhhhhhh-!
Dark green bodily fluids oozed out of its mouth.
It seed that the dragon’s poison was taking effect. Sure enough, the legs of the octopus began to flail about, more feebly than before.
“We just need to push it a little harder.”
Thesilid dropped his fishing pole aside.
In his left hand, the Spirit King’s Harp String, which he was using as a fishing line, was tightly wound.
Thanks to the Kraken eating the Marlin bait with relish, the end of the wire should have reached into its guts.
Thesilid attacked.
“Blue Torch.”
Roarrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The fla ignited in Thesilid’s hand moved quickly using the Spirit King’s Harp String as a fuse.
It burrowed through the Kraken’s mouth and deep into his stomach.
Kuo-KUOOOOOOOOOOO!
As a rule, aquatic creatures are vulnerable to heat.
When the torch created by pouring bishop-level divine power exploded inside its gut, the Kraken went mad in agony.
