"Let's see… Let's add 1 point of Divine Power to a Spell."
FLASH!
A massive magic circle erged before my sight in a split of a second. The gigantic magic circle showcased the various runes that composed it, which were all created in a re instant. With a simple thought of my mind, the magic circle began to conjure a powerful spell. Naming it after the goddess of winter in Greek Mythology, a new spell was created.
"Khione's Divine Judgent."
FLAAASH!
A majestic and titanic maiden made completely out of ice erged from within thin air. Her entire body continued to spread out, reaching the squid in less than a second. The gigantic Flying Squid Queen was caught by the ice, and quickly showed a slight amount of resistance as her Ice Resistance Ability was quite strong. However, against my ice, no resistance will work!
CRAAASH!
The ice continued to spread through the enormous beast, making cracking noises as it grew larger, like beautiful transparent crystal. In re seconds, the enormous beast was completely frozen, staying still like a statue floating in the middle of the ice. The water surrounding it was also frozen, oops.
"And done. Squids have been exterminated." I said carefreely, as I flew down into the ship. Skadi and Uller turned into their humanoid forms quickly after. Maybe I shouldn't had asked for their help.
"W-Wha… You know that monster was nearing S Rank, right?! It probably has a Rank 6 Mana Core!" Cried Charlotte. "H-How co you can beat that monster? Not even Rank 6 Magus would be able to solo it…"
"You seem to have survived your fair bit of sea monsters, but you've never t soone that can beat them?" I sighed.
"W-Well, yeah…" Charlotte seed to be a bit disappointed in people in general, I guess.
"Anyways, for now, let's quickly pick up the loot and get moving, I don't got all day, right?" I asked with a giggle. I quickly used the [Cutting Wind] Wind Attribute Spell to cut through the enormous frozen squid queen into chunks, which I saved inside my Inventory Space one after the other.
When I reached the core of it, I found a large jewel glowing with bright blue color, it was emanating a nice quantity of Mana but no divinity at all, it was a Rank 6 Initial Stage Mana Core, not bad at all! I decided to save it inside of my Inventory as well for the mont.
As I returned to the ship, I already saw Benladann, Miranda, and the rest cooking the squids over large bonfires. Everything was made out of [Spirit Creation], of course, so there the bonfire wouldn't burn the rest of the ship as it was a [Spirit Bonfire].
"T-Turn the fire off, it will burn the ship! And why are you cooking these squids?!" Cried Charlotte, from one surprise to another, he couldn't take a break.
"Relax, we are all between family here. Co join us." I said.
"C-Can you explain why you're so strong at least?" He sighed.
"I just grew stronger over ti! What's wrong with that? I don't need to explain it to you." I sighed. "Now join us and relax a bit, it seems like you got angry we won instead of happy…"
"R-Right… I apologize. I guess… I got a bit too exasperated. Too many surprises one after the other… I've always been good at the seas but I am a bit rusty as I haven't embarked in any dangerous journey for over a year…" Charlotte seed to have finally cald down, quickly sitting near us.
I used a few Spirits to cut down the at and season it, and as the ship slowly moved towards the Frost Island, we began enjoying a quick lunch of squid at. Of course, that alone won't do, so I took out so pre-cooked rice to prepare, and a lot of homade soy sauce with a bit of sweet wine made out from fruits harvested in our farms.
"Here dear." Benladann said carefreely, as she gave a large plate with a pile of grilled squid at with rice and so pickled vegetables.
"Thanks a bunch." I quickly began wolfing down the food. Nothing better than eating the a beast right after hunting them!
After being grilled and properly seasoned, the Flying Squid at was delicious. It was quite chewy though, but nothing bad with that. The at was completely white after being cooked for a while, with a slight toasty color above it. The tentacles were sticky but not bad either. Accompanied by the rice and the vegetables, alongside so sweet wine, it was quite a good and quick al.
"Uwah, the flavor is so good… I never thought catch and cook would be this good!" Said Yuki, who had recovered from her seasickness just to eat food.
"But you didn't caught a single thing…" Skadi said, while eating as well. "Ohhh! I will never get tired of eating food!"
"Hm, I can never get enough either… life is good." Uller said with a smile, looking at the horizon while drinking so wine.
I noticed Benladann sat at my side, stuffing her cheeks with quid at, she looked like an adorable hamster. I wish my daughters could be here to enjoy the al with us though.
"Hmm! This is so good!" She said. "I wish Benladra and Kate were here to eat with us. I bet that little gluttonous girl would love this."
"Yeah, I think so as well." I sighed. "Well, as of now she's taking a nap after lunch with Kate at her side. I am taking good care of her using my Doppelganger."
"That's nice. We'll bring them a lot of souvenirs once this is over." Said Benladann.
"Yeah, I think the sa." Miranda added. "Also, can I have a bit more wine?"
"I think that should be enough for now, if we drink too much we might get drunk, that's not a good thing if we are going to the Frost Tower." I sighed.
"R-Right…" Miranda quickly realized that drinking too much would be kind of bad.
"Oh! We are getting closer!" Charlotte said.
