110. a little exaggeration
It was difficult to make a fireball underwater.
But what if it’s not underwater?
Even with a storm like this…
‘Anything is possible!’
I lit a fireball in my hand.
A huge ball of fire floats over my hand.
“Huh!”
I picked it up and fired at the Kraken, which revealed its body.
Koo Goo Goo……!
A panoramic view as if the sun was going down was unfolding before everyone’s eyes.
The raindrops that hit the fireball were instantly extinguished by the heat.
Even……
“Bah, the sea is evaporating!…How hot…!”
Even the sea water was heating up.
The Kraken also instinctively sensed danger from the mighty flames.
At me falling with the fireball, I started screaming.
“Kyaaa!”
Then, dousing all the tentacles with water, they stretched out from all sides to block the fireball.
However.
Roaring!
The water that the tentacles were holding quickly turned into steam and flew away.
On the contrary, he was gradually burned and entangled in the heat.
Thanks to that, the smell of grilled octopus vibrated everywhere.
“Kwoaaa!”
The Kraken opened its huge mouth and screamed in pain.
The structure of his oral cavity was revealed to him.
The kraken’s mouth was huge for its size, with a row of inward, serrated teeth that filled its entire field of vision.
But I was not frightened by those teeth, and pushed the fireball straight ahead.
I rushed towards the snout of the bastard.
Chiyiyi profit!
A large amount of seawater and fireballs were entangled in one place, and a huge amount of water vapor was generated.
The thick steam, like thick sea fog, covered the entire field of vision, leaving no one a chance to respond.
Still, the Kraken was not simply ignorant.
Even at this moment when her own life was in danger, several tentacles with pointed tips were bypassing the fireball.
Like an assassin, taking advantage of the gap where the steam obscured his vision.
If the opponent hadn’t been me, but someone else… I might have been able to work through it.
‘But it doesn’t work for me!’
It was me who already had the experience of fighting in foggy conditions a long time ago.
At that time, I had already learned how to use my third eye to deal with a situation where my vision was blocked.
I hurled the fireball forward and flung myself.
Chew! Chow! Chew!
At the location where I had been just a moment ago, the Kraken’s tentacles slashed like spears in all directions.
Of course, I had already seen through it… I threw the fireball forward and left the spot.
Whoops, whoops, whoops!
The Kraken’s tentacles simply pierced the air.
To that, it was the Kraken who was rather embarrassed.
“S-It’s gone…!”
Tadat.
Meanwhile, with my body as low as possible, I rode one of its tentacles and ran towards the main body.
With the fog blocking his vision, he continued to move and ride on other tentacles.
The Kraken couldn’t detect my location.
Even until we reach right in front of his eyes!
As I suddenly appear through the fog.
The Kraken’s eyes shook violently.
“I-iik!… This guy can’t even take a bite…!”
“Eat it in one bite, then!”
I dodged between his tentacles as if performing a stunt.
I dodge the tentacles aiming for my Achilles tendon, tumbling backwards.
The tentacles tightening again towards me who floated in the air.
flutter!
I spread my wings, turned and evaded again.
“I, wings…! What kind of identity is…”
Catching me, who was determined and focused on avoidance, was not easy, even for the Kraken.
But on the other hand, it was also difficult for me to hit the Kraken’s center.
Breaking through so many tentacles to the inside where you can inflict a fatal blow was more difficult than I thought.
If this was land, it would have been possible…
Because it was an advantageous battleground for the enemy, where if I made a single mistake and fell into the sea, I could die.
However, that was not what I was aiming for.
Thank you for taking the time to wait.
“Let’s see… by now!”
The fireball thrown earlier.
The heat was gradually approaching.
The kraken was hiding in the sea, and it didn’t seem to notice yet because of my attention.
So I consider myself to be quite kind.
This time, I kindly informed him of the current situation.
“Isn’t the back of your head hot?”
“What?……Uh, uh!”
The Kraken, distracted by my flashy movements, seemed to have forgotten about the fireball.
In the meantime, the fireball was attacking the Kraken at some point.
“Kyaaa!”
The Kraken screamed and was gradually devoured by the fireball.
And after only a few seconds… he couldn’t scream anymore.

Meanwhile, on top of the ship, everyone frowned and scrambled to peer into the fog.
Rohan jumped in with a huge fireball.
And the Kraken, who did not back down even that fireball.
It was because I was curious about the result of the two facing each other.
Depending on the outcome, in the end, even their own lives will be at stake.
If Rohan wins, he will reach the port of Lessia alive.
If the Kraken wins…
‘Everyone will die…!’
Everyone looked at the fog with the same thought.
Even if I tried to stare at the fog, I couldn’t see inside it.
“Uh, what happened? Who won?”
“Is it blocked? Or is it successful?”
“sh*t!”
“Ha, I can’t see any!”
Not far away, I can’t even see an inch ahead right now.
He couldn’t even comprehend the situation.
In the meantime, as if even the storm had completely passed, a quiet atmosphere continued.
The tension soared to an indescribable extreme.
“gulp!”
I heard someone I didn’t know who was swallowing dry saliva.

Just a moment ago, the sound of rain, thunder, and even lightning.
It was difficult to hear conversations, but now I could even hear the breathing of the person next to me.
Those breathing sounds that were full of tension.
“Whoa…! Whoa…!”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”
“Keugh…!”
That moment.
Whoops!
Somewhere on the ship, there was a roar of something heavy falling.
It was so violent that the entire ship shook.
“Uh, what’s up?”
“What, what? What’s going on?”
“Who, can’t you see anything?”
Then, someone spat out a word.
A word mixed with fear that came out from the depths of his heart.
“No way……the Kraken!”
At those words, everyone on the deck froze.
I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but in fact, everyone had the same fear.
And something unknown in the fog.
I was getting closer and closer to people.
kiik, kiik.
The half-destroyed ship’s deck creaked, indicating that the distance was closing.
Finally.
It appeared in the fog.
“The Kraken is down… who’s injured on our side? I’d like to know the condition of the hull as well.”
“Ro, Sir Rohan!”
“Rohan-nim!”
“Whoa! Whoaaa!”
“Eh, did you win? You won? Wow! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
Several people ran to him with cheers.
other ones.
dump.
He fell to the floor, sprawled out.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“I never thought the day would come when I could survive the Kraken.”
“Crazy, crazy.”
“For a while, I won’t be pushed back by words at a drinking party with the land idiots. Huhuhu……”

The port city of Filoren in Atiar Kingdom.
There were always resident soldiers watching the ships entering the port.
“Haaam. The weather is nice.”
“I mean. It seems like yesterday that the storm called for death. Now it’s rather hot. Anyway, there’s no middle ground? This guy’s weather.”
“Ah. I want to go on a trip somewhere. I’m tired of seeing the same sea scenery every day.”
“I mean. Seriously, did you stand on the coast guard in your dream yesterday?”
“Puhahaha! Did you protect the sea in your dream?”
One soldier smiled and chimed in.
There was no answer coming back.
At that, the soldier turned his head to the colleague on the other side of the conversation.
“Hey? What is it? Why are you suddenly quiet?
Even so, the opponent still did not respond.

Just standing still
Feeling something strange, the soldier walked to the place where his colleague was standing watching the other direction.
“Hey. Hey! Hey. Are you okay?”
As I shook my colleague’s shoulder, something that had been hidden in his torso began to catch my eye.
“I-what is that?”
“Yu, the ghost ship…!”
The colleague, who was half-excited, barely spoke with a trembling voice.
But the soldier shook his head.
It was because his eyesight was better.
“Isn’t it a ghost ship? There are people.”
“There are people…?”
“Besides, that pattern on the flag… It’s not like a pirate ship, it’s an Arlem church ship from the Anthea continent, right?”
“If it’s the Arlem Church… isn’t it an alliance with our Atyar kingdom?…”
“Yes, my friend! I’ll have to start the rescue boat first!”
“Okay, you mean the rescue boat? Got it. I’ll go down and report it!”
“okay!”
So they opened the port, got on the rescue boat, and made contact with the ship of the Arlem Church, which was almost half destroyed.
“Hey guys! Are you okay?”
Then, an answer came from the ship of the Arlem Church.
Perhaps the figure looked like the captain of the ship in question.
“Ask for anchorage in the harbor!”
“Let’s do it! By the way, have you met pirates? The ship’s condition is not unusually serious?…”
“I wouldn’t have done this if I had been a pirate. I met a Kraken! Ha ha ha.”
“Ah. The Kraken. Is that so? The Kraken…”
The soldier nodded.
Suddenly, he doubted what he had heard, and his face became disoriented.
“J-Now… K-Did you say Kraken?”
The captain still laughed heartily and leaned back.
He pointed to the stern of the ship.
“Excuse me. I’m dragging his corpse through the back net. There’s a great hero on our ship. He said papapak! and took care of it in the blink of an eye. What the heck. Hahahahaha!”
with some exaggeration.
The captain uttered nonsense.
At that, everyone’s eyes turned to the tail of the ship.
With an expression of disbelief.
By the way… What I saw at the end of that direction.
Unbelievably huge, even bigger than the captain’s words.
“J-Really…isn’t that the Kraken?”
A deep-sea monster with a sense of intimidation to the point of making hair stand upright even in death, was hanging there.
