[Congratulations, Red! You have unlocked the lightning elent!]
[Lightning elent travels around 350,000 kilotres per hour. Your electric shocks would use the user's arcane as its power source against your target(s). Basic lightning skills would not have any cooldown, except for unique abilities the player would learn. You could also redirect lightning strikes to any wished place, regardless of your arcane capacity.]
It was what the system had ntioned. Before I could even read the descriptions, I absorbed the lightning and controlled its direction towards the Kraken. And since that sea creature did not like thunder, it was the perfect weapon to kill it.
"I will…. going to have sushi later!" I scread, whilst planning my revenge against this monster.
Sushi was a delicacy brought by the Japanese community inside this ga. And since we were in the middle of the sea, having sothing like raw fish (sea creatures like Kraken) could motivate us on this journey.
The electric shock pierced through the Kraken's skin, destroying it into pieces. The indestructible monster got blasted into pieces, thanks to the lightning bolt I received from the storm.
A mammoth-sized hole erged in the middle of the Kraken, killing the creature instantly. The Kraken's gallon of blood burst like a fountain in front of , drenching with its acrid sll. But I did not mind the stench, since killing the Kraken was my utmost priority.
I would just avert my gaze from the Kraken if that monster died before. If this lightning strike did not kill the creature, I would harness the thunder's strength and do it again! Now that I could control lightning, fighting this stupid sea creature would be a piece of cake.
But my optimistic thoughts got burned away as the Kraken revived itself in our last fight. Despite blasting its face, the tentacles had a mind of their own and attacked everyone on sight, including the sea creatures. It could not distinguish any friends or foes as it continuously bombarded everyone with its blitz.
Wolf launched himself in front of our group and protected both Match and Ryoshi from the tentacles. He also needed to defend them from the crawling sea creatures, wanting to take my team down with them.
I did not have the luxury to help them, since I was up against the Kraken. And I was the only one who could stop this beast from ravaging any further against our ship.
So instead of adding myself to the dock, I dashed straight at the Kraken and added a boost to my penitent's blade. Now that I could use lightning, enhancing my equipnt with that elent beca second nature to .
With a heavy heart, I sliced the Kraken using my own lightning prowess. I did not let a mont slip by and ripped the monster apart. I slid down to the sea creature's body and tore it in half while soaking myself from the spurting blood.
Despite this greenish liquid, I continued amplifying my damage and dove underwater. The Kraken still had its body connected below the ocean, which made it look alive.
"But by electrocuting the entire ocean, I could kill all the sea monsters, including this Kraken!" I murmured.
It was what Ryoshi had ntioned. If I wanted to eliminate all these threats, I had to resort to this widespread electric shock. This ability could kill anything touching the ocean around a hundred kilotres in my surroundings. I would apply all my arcane to this attack and spread my lightning across the marine environnt.
Hence, killing this Kraken and its minions.
However, that was not the end. Before I could do that, I needed to inform Okami and the others, especially if it would involve risking Match's life. If the splashing waves hit soone, that person would instantly die before anyone could save them.
But I was already underwater before I could even think of this solution. If I swam back up right now, those tentacles would protect the root of this Kraken, hindering from diving any further. I could enter the water's depths, but it would take hours to do it since I would fight those tentacles.
It was now or never if I wanted to kill this sea creature. There was no ti left, considering all the possibilities imprinted inside my head.
"Ryoshi…. I hope you could do sothing about this!"
I could only hope that there was so Science behind this overcharge coming from my powers. Even though I hated that person, he still had so tricks up his sleeve. And now, we needed his ideas more than anything in this fight.
When I finally reached the bottomless pit, the Kraken's body welcod my eyes. The monster had a round body, with all the tentacles creeping out from it. It was like a forest made of nothing but limbs that ca from a squid.
Those limbs tried attacking as soon as they noticed my presence. But right after noticing that they could not reach , those tentacles retracted and remained static in place. However, that calmness would not last for long, considering that the Kraken already perceived my presence.
"It's now or never!" I shouted, and conjured every arcane stored inside my body.
I did not want to land my spell from above, considering the distance this lightning bolt would travel. Nobody taught about Science, and how lightning would work inside this world. But I grasped my guts and dove through my beliefs, hoping that we could win this battle.
It was like what I did before, but I needed to distribute my arcane toward my hands. This technique would usually an suicide for so players if not handled correctly. According to my system, by draining one's arcane, that player would undergo paralysis, which would hinder that person from moving. Since all the mana inside soone's body got eliminated, cells would alarm themselves and disrupt the nerves.
But that effect was just a possibility, aning I could avoid getting that route. If I could just add just one arcane inside , my body should co out fine.
After a few seconds, my hand glowed like a star in the dim night. Everything surrounding beca warm and fuzzy, creating a sense of comfort around . But my power ca not from light. It ca from the lightning bolts cruising through my veins.
The light carried in my hands fended off the tentacles as all of them retreated to their mother. In a flash, I surrounded myself with a shell of thunder, zapping everything that wanted to harm . Those sea creatures who slipped through the ship tried hitting from the back. But the thundershock coming from my spell was more powerful than them.
As soon as I completed my skill, I hurled my magical ball of lightning towards the Kraken and spread the lightning spears in every direction. My system nad the attack as [Electro Ball], which nearly consud every ounce of mana inside of .
Exhaustion finally hit like a truck, but I refused to give up right now. I needed to hold this lightning sphere for at least five seconds before unlatching my hands from it.
Ti moved slower than usual, especially when the dire event slapped out front. But my efforts rewarded with our victory, as I stalled exactly five seconds for my lightning ball to work. And when the ball finally did its thing, everything, including the Kraken, died a speedy death.
The lightning did not affect , since that power ca from my spell, not from other forces. And even if it ca from nature, I would still be alive, considering that I could absorb that lighting inside of .
But because of the risk of that spell, my body refused to heed my instructions. I could not swim or sweep my arms even though I desperately tried. It was as if my muscles lose their willpower to do their own thing, regardless of shouting underwater.
Billions of bubbles fled from my mouth as I kept gasping for air, which I didn't have. I kept wiggling my body, climbing the ocean like a ladder.
But alas, the water claid my body.
I lost the energy to fight back and let my body sink into the bottomless pit. I floated alongside the corpses of the Kraken and the sea monsters. After a few seconds, I would die beside these creatures without getting my revenge on the ga developers. I did not even have the chance to say my goodbyes to Match. She still might wait for on the surface.
And since my team won the battle, Okami and the others would feel relieved at first without thinking of .
But that thought proved wrong when soone tugged my hand upwards. Gravity hopelessly tried pulling back, but the swimming man fought against all odds. And within a few monts, that man threw upwards and landed on the deck.
"Way to go, Ryoshi! You saved Red! You're the only one who could swim!" Okami shouted, but my mind….. could not think anymore.
