135 – Subjugating the Vengeful Kraken (5)
Is it because of constantly swinging the sword in the water?
The body is light.
As if the wind and the body became one,
Everything, including my steps and swings, feels light.
You even forget that you have Rose Marie on your back.
“You can’t forget me! You know? Yes?”
‘It’s noisy…’ .’
Despite the screams of the vengeful kraken,
I couldn’t erase Rose Marie’s voice.
Thanks to you, I didn’t forget that I had Rose Marie on my back.
You can’t forget it even if you don’t keep talking about it in the first place.
‘It’s pretty big.’
Perhaps it was because I clung to him so as not to fall off,
A clear feeling of softness is conveyed.
I can even feel Rose Marie changing its shape every time it moves.
How could I forget that I was carrying Rose Marie?
“But can you really win?”
“Well, that’s it?”
“Yes?”
Now everything I prepared is gone.
First of all, we planned a strategy based on the original work,
It still bothered me that the timing was brought forward.
Could it really end like this without incident?
With that thought in mind, I swung the sword with all my might.
They attack in a haphazard manner, but
Speed and power are still threatening.
It is not strange if it turns into minced meat if it touches even a little bit.
However, the simpler the movement, the easier it is to avoid.
The Kraken, who has lost his temper due to anger, is extremely simple.
Avoiding the Kraken’s attacks, I cut off her legs to inflict as much damage as possible.
It does play, but it is clearly visible that the speed is slower than the first time.
There is not much time left.
I felt the time approaching to say goodbye to this damn octopus.
‘… ‘The color of my legs just now.’
However, I realized it several times,
Things in the world don’t work as you think.
For a moment, I thought it was an illusion, but when I checked again, the Kraken’s legs were stained black.
As if he was about to move on to the next step, he quickly backed away as he saw the Kraken slowly turning black.
“Aren’t you trying to take me down now? But why suddenly….”
“Be quiet.”
The Kraken gradually turns black starting from the legs,
I soon surrounded my body with darkness that would swallow up even the light.
It is dangerous.
Even if you just look at it, your instincts sound the alarm and warn you that it is dangerous.
“You use all your defense skills now!”
“Well, even if you suddenly say that….”
“Hurry!”
“Ah, I got it!”
It may not help, but it’s better than nothing.
Receive the maximum buff you can from Rose Marie,
At the same time, dozens of huge rock walls were created.
Once all preparations were completed, a crack appeared on the Kraken’s black body.
Soon, the brilliant light shining through the gap swallowed everything.

“… Ugh, ugh.”
I naturally opened my eyes as my whole body ached in pain.
Where am I?
They were clearly riding on his back and fighting the vengeful Kraken together.
However, even if you wash your eyes and look for the Kraken, you cannot see it.
Not only the Kraken, but there was no one else around but himself.
“Why am I here….”
I raised my upper body and recalled my memories before I fainted.
Clearly, the vengeful kraken turned black and then made a roar….
“Yes! “Where is he?”
I remembered.
The Kraken exploded, emitting light.
Even the way he embraced me to save me.
But when I look around again, all I see are coral reefs and rocks.

It looks like the Kraken was caught in the explosion and flew away.
How long did it fly?
‘If we don’t find it quickly, we’ll be in big trouble.’
He is human.
A human cannot breathe if he does not have oxygen.
He even used up all of his magic power, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he suffocated to death if he continued like this.
“Ugh!”
When I got up, a sharp pain came.
The pain would normally make me lie down and cry.
But this time, I got up and swam with all my might.
Even though my body screamed from the extreme pain and tears filled my eyes, I focused on swimming.
But rather than rewarding such efforts, the world even took away hope.
“That…” .”
This is definitely the place.
A fierce battlefield where the vengeful spirit Kraken was fought.
But in her eyes, this place was not a battlefield, but only a tomb for the mermaids.
Numerous corpses.
They are definitely the ones who fought against the vengeful Kraken along with their father.
Now those people have become cold corpses, unable to even close their eyes.
“… ….”
Why do we have to accept this dark reality?
Should we say that we did something wrong?
I even forgot about the pain and shed tears endlessly.
The tears soon turned into jewels and fell,
Still, I didn’t stop crying.
“Uh, uh….”
“!”
It was faint, but when someone’s moans reached my ears, the tears stopped as if it were a lie.
I soon went to the place where I heard the sound,
A soldier was found trapped by a rock and unable to move.
But when he saw the soldier’s face, his body stiffened without realizing it.
Because this soldier….
‘No! ‘You shouldn’t get caught up in those personal feelings right now.’
“Hold on a little! “I will save you soon!”
“Oh, princess…” ?”
He shouted confidently and began to remove the rocks that had crushed him, one by one.
In the meantime, I was hearing hallucinations about my helplessness.
-You are a junk princess who can’t save even a single person.
-You die because you can’t do anything.
-It’s all your fault.
‘No! No! I definitely want this person!’
“Princess….”
“It’s okay! I’ll save you! I will definitely save you….”
“I’m sorry…” .”
The hand that was moving the rock stopped at the short apple.
Why do you say that at a time like this?
This is something I’ve wanted to hear for a long time, but why am I saying it in a situation like this?
“I called the princess a junk princess for no reason….”
“There’s no way I could remember something like that! Don’t talk nonsense….”
Move quickly.
Even if tears cover my face, I can move my hands.
However, the results of removing the rock were very bleak.
The lower half of his body has collapsed without any shape, and it is difficult to survive.
It was only then that I realized why I apologized.
“Did you see it? “I’m done here.”
“No! Yet! Still available….”
“Princess, can I ask you one favor?”
“… ….”
He mustered up the last of his strength and pointed somewhere with difficulty.
Let’s turn our heads slowly,
A clear blue light visible between the cracks in the rocks caught my eye.
Mermaid’s Jewelry.
This is the magic crystal that the vengeful spirit Kraken was aiming for.
“I’m sorry for asking you this, but… , please follow me….”
After those words, the soldier didn’t even move a muscle.
This is truly irresponsible.
He ruined my childhood and now he has passed on such an important task and left on his own.
But what can we do? I was originally this kind of person.
“Okay! Leave it to me, the princess…. So sleep peacefully.”
Leaving behind the soldier with his eyes closed,
I checked the mermaid’s jewelry.
The rope that was tied to drag it is still intact.
It may be difficult, but it’s not so much that you can’t move it by yourself.
Tie a rope to your body and move your fins vigorously.
It was slow, but it started to rise slowly.
‘Anywhere is fine, so move quickly…’ .’
Now the only thing left to do is swim with all your might.
But the predator had already caught up with him.
“I hate it!!!”
The vengeful kraken approached before I knew it, opened its mouth and began to suck vigorously.
It is definitely swimming forward, but
I was pulled backwards by the suction power of the Vengeful Spirit Kraken.
At that moment, a thought passed through my mind.
If you untie this rope and give up the mermaid’s jewel,
Isn’t it possible to save yourself?
But those worries disappeared without leaving a trace.
‘I can never give up on this!’
The resolution of a lifetime.
However, contrary to my resolve, I was slowly sucked in.
Despite the desperate struggle, the Kraken’s mouth slowly got closer.
In the end, he closed his eyes tightly while hugging the jewel.
Will I be eaten like this?
I can’t open my eyes because of that vague fear.
Let’s carefully open our eyes when we hear someone’s voice.
“… “Why are you here?”
“That’s it….”
Why is the person who protected me in the Kraken’s stomach?
Ron sitting very calmly.
It was so absurd that I shot a look of resentment in my eyes.
“Wait a minute, why is my arm….”
Let’s observe Lee Yu-mo’s emptiness,
I soon realized that he was missing one arm.
For a moment, my face was so calm that I didn’t even realize that I had no arms.
“Oh, this? “It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”
“You can’t not care! No way, he was trying to protect me….”
“… “It’s not like that.”
Lies.
He denied it verbally, but when I glared at him slightly, he averted his gaze.
Anyone can see this as a childish reaction to lying.
“… Are you in a lot of pain?”
“Not really. “I lost my arm more than once.”
I smiled sheepishly and replied that it was no big deal.
‘Lie again…’ .’
If your arm is gone, how can it not be painful?
But if you look at his calm face,
I even had suspicions that it might not really hurt.
“… I’m bored because it suddenly gets quiet. “Anything is fine, so let’s talk about it.”
“I’m not a clown, I’m a princess….”
What are you really asking for?
I couldn’t understand at all.
However, his heavy heart pushed his head out, saying that now was his chance.
‘I’m a really irresponsible person too.’
“I used to be called a junk princess?”
