＜ 14. Unholy Creature (9) ＞
The cards that came out are Defensive Strike, Shadow Imprint, Leap, and Shadow Stealth. Andrea let out a deep sigh. It was a very bad draw .
‘ Right now, it’s ideal for Marco to be summoned and Shadow Imprint to come out around 3 turns …’
If it was a normal enemy, it would have been possible to use the shadow imprint and destroy it immediately, but it was impossible to do against the Kraken floating on the sea. The special effect of the gauntlet can only be used once, so I had to use it carefully .
Shadow hiding doesn’t mean much, so use defensive strikes and leaps first. Tricia used ‘swift movements’ and warmed up .
However, Emilia was crying at her side .
“ Andrea-sama, I can’t use cards that create real barriers …”
Because of the landless environment, Emilia was limited in the cards she could use. I explained it in advance, but it seemed to be embarrassing as expected .
“ If you only have steel skin or a strong shield, use it, and hide behind Trisha. Don’t panic if the Kraken’s legs appear .”
“ Yes, yes .”
While everyone shrank in tension, the Kraken plunged back into the water. The shadow over the surface of the water reached as far as the ship. The captain must have already been sent out to the cabin, so he couldn’t even see his nose .
The Kraken stretched out one leg first. A bridge that rises above the deck and slams lightly .
bang !
It’s nice to say it lightly, but since I hit it with a bridge almost the size of a girder, the deck has already sunk part of the board. Andrea grabbed the leg where there was no sucker and tried to tear it apart .
“ Kuuu …”
Tuduk .
The rough surface cracked, but the strength was still insufficient to cut it off. As soon as the scratches appeared, the legs swept across the deck as if nervous. Emilia almost got caught up in it, but Trisha grabbed her by the back and jumped to avoid it .
Andrea threw out a punch to test how much damage the blow would do. Also, this was somewhat of a shock .
bang !
A hollowed-out surface, a leg that was pushed hard and crashed into a watchtower post. However, no fatal damage was inflicted. The legs jolted again and rushed towards Andrea .
‘ It feels like the vine has evolved to match the sea. At least the vine could have been torn by force, but that bridge is so thick that it’s difficult. After all, I have to use a blade first …’
Andrea brought out the Polar Dawn. In the game, it was impossible to wear overlapping weapons, but it was possible here. A blade that pierces the leg that is charging at it and extends it in the longitudinal direction .
Tsuuk !
The blade was too dull to cut through the leg. In addition, slime is flowing on the surface, making it slippery. It cracked a little, but it was only scratched .
Whiik !
Still, that was enough. The attack immediately after that is evaded by leaping. He put the knife in and ran to the leg, opening it with force to rip open the nick .
Damn it !
Thanks to the scabbard, this time it split more easily. I pressed my forearms to stop the fluttering movement. In that state, Andrea gave strength as if squeezing the upper arm muscles and expanding the trapezius muscles widely .
Let ‘s go !
In the end, the leg couldn’t overcome the strength and was torn. Even after being amputated, the legs fluttered as if they were alive. After throwing the remaining leg into the sea, Andrea drew a card from the deck again .
‘ The liver viewing is over. Now many legs will come up at the same time. I think I’ll be able to fight more easily if Marco is summoned now …’
The cards that came out are Strike, Fortitude, Curse of the Necronomicon, and Card Collection. Watching the first draw before playing a card is a basic of basics. Cards from card collection include Mana Boost, and Marco Summon .
‘It’s done !’
Andrea summoned Marco and handed him the hammer. The explanation about this monster was enough, so I just looked at it and nodded my head without any instructions .
At that moment, huge bridges rose from the surface of the water. At the same time, a blue aura rose from Marco’s hand and wrapped around the hammer. Marco excitedly swings his hammer once in the air and shouts out loud .
“ Tonight’s dinner must be hearty !”
Kwa-ang !
I hit the squirming leg first with the hammer. A shockwave rose up, bending backwards and falling out. Marco didn’t let him back down, but rushed in and trampled his leg with one foot. It doesn’t matter if the suckers stick to it .
bang! bang! bang !
He swung the hammer with a force that made him feel like he was making minced meat. In reality, the flesh had been horribly crushed and was turning into something more like a bang than a Kraken’s leg. Seeing that, other people stuck out their tongues .
‘ It was like that at the time of Vine Angler, and it’s like that now, as long as it’s not a bladed weapon, it’s a disadvantageous opponent .

No matter how you think about it, Marco’s performance was more than a fairly unique level summon card. Besides, that one isn’t even in the state of final reinforcement .
The ‘Brilliant Reinforcement Ticket’ obtained through the
‘ Gambler’s Proposal’ event was still there. Andrea seriously thought about using it for Marco .
‘ Well, let’s think about that after the battle .’
Meanwhile, Trisha was faithfully carrying out Andrea’s instructions. Prioritize using ‘Continuous Loading’ and ‘Shooting Master’ rather than fighting by strengthening shooting immediately .
‘ Sir, but this… has to be chosen .’
Explosive arrows, defense, strong shot. On turn 2, Trisha couldn’t draw either one. Use explosive arrows with chickens instead of pheasants. I grabbed the mast in the front and gave it a shot toward the bridge that was about to break .
Wedge juice !
Whoo !
Flesh splattered with a small explosion. The legs fall to the floor and slide out of the boat. Trisha was delighted and put an arrow on her bowstring again to hit the other leg .
‘ Is n’t it bigger than I thought ?’
But it was too soon. Tricia hadn’t noticed that one of the legs was approaching from behind. Behind Trisha, Emilia, who had no means of attack, was hiding .
“ Kyaaak !”
The legs that had grabbed Emilia floated in the air. A movement that seemed to drag Emilia into the sea at any moment. Marco and Andrea looked back at the same time, but they had already advanced to the lead and were too far away from Emilia at the stern .
In an instant, Tricia leaped off the mast and clung to the bridge holding Emilia. The legs wriggled unconcerned and moved toward the sea .
Trisha’s armament is only a bow. There was no melee attack method to speak of. At least Trisha was almost dragged away, but …
Trisha didn’t hang on thoughtlessly either. He took something out of his arms and attached it to his leg. Then somersault back and land off the bridge .
Kwakwagwang !
The kraken’s severed leg fell to the deck. Fortunately, the aftermath of the explosion did not reach Emilia. Trisha quickly grabbed the sucker from Emilia and removed it .
Andrea gave Tricia 3 copies of the ‘Amulet of Explosion’ she had saved from the rift a long time ago. I’m sure there will be situations like this. Trisha admired Andrea’s meticulous preparation and planning skills .
After that, the time of battle passed without hesitation. In the meantime, Andrea tore off one more leg, and Marco broke off two. This resulted in a total of 7 injured or torn legs. The time has come for the next pattern to begin .
“ Everybody, gather in the middle of the deck !”
As soon as Andrea said that, a loud voice resounded in the air .
’ Dark clouds cover the sky. Those who serve the Kraken awaken …’
In an instant, the sky darkened. The hot sunlight and spotless sky were covered with dark clouds, and an unusual wind began to blow. Even in the calm sea, rough waves were slowly rising .
Giggeek, Kigiggeek .
There was the sound of something scratching the stomach. No, the sound was getting closer. It was a ride, not a scrape. It can be heard from all directions without specifying where the lead or stern is .
Soon after, bizarre new spirits appeared over the railing. A corpse full of barnacles clinging to a green rotting body, a monster with a large clam on his neck instead of a head, and a person with small crabs crawling out of his open eyes. These were the words of the sailors who were killed by the Kraken .
Everyone was at a loss for words at the shocking appearance. Emilia shuddered slightly, and even Marco, who was quite shy, swallowed his saliva .
Andrea was also terrified on the inside, but she didn’t show it at all. On the contrary, he calmly encouraged his companions .
“ Even though they look hideous, they are nothing more than rotting corpses. Don’t be scared. However, be careful not to splatter bodily fluids as it can cause abnormal conditions .”
As soon as Andrea spoke out, the commotion among the party subsided. As my thoughts calmed down, the corpses that had only looked terrifying appeared to be lumps of decayed and weak flesh. Proof that everyone absolutely trusts Andrea’s words .
Indeed, as Andrea had said, the combat power of the corpses was poor. With Marco’s hammering and Andrea’s punching, the majority of the guys on the deck were swept away, and Trisha’s arrows pierced the remaining half of their bodies. Rotten flesh and blackened bone fragments scattered everywhere .
Even the ghouls stronger than these corpses were slaughtered without being able to resist them a long time ago, but they were enemies that were no match for Andrea and the others. Although the amount is much larger, no matter how many scarecrows there are, they cannot compete with people .
In the middle of the battle, Marco was covered in the bodily fluids of the corpse and was paralyzed, but Emilia used body purification at the right time, so there was no damage. After sweeping away all the guys on the deck, Marco swung his hammer under the railing and sent the corpses that hadn’t even come up yet back to the sea .
Soon the barrage of corpses ceased. However, far from clearing the sky, it became even more magical. Dull lights mingled in the dark clouds, scattering ominous shadows. The bizarre sky takes on a new color before it can be identified .
Another loud voice rang out .
’ A tangled light pours in. The madness within those who sailed the open sea awakens …’
Andrea exclaimed, urgently looking back at Marco .
“ Miss Marco! Block the entrance from the dock to the deck !”
“ Okay !”
Having finished the explanation in advance, Marco moved without delay .
This pattern is to inflict a ‘broad’ status ailment on the sailors. The ‘broad’ status ailment was a status ailment that made it impossible to distinguish between an enemy and an ally in exchange for a significant rise in stats. Soon the captain and crew hiding in the dock will come out and run wild .
Even if the entrance was blocked, they would break it someday and come out, but I had to buy some time. The captain and crew won’t be opponents of Andrea’s party, but you shouldn’t kill them to get an extra reward. In the end, the remaining option is to delay the time until the ‘broad’ status ailment is resolved .
But while crossing the deck, Marco suddenly stops. Loud footsteps could already be heard from the dock. Andrea urged Marco impatiently .
“ Miss Marco! We need to stop it quickly. Otherwise the sailors . . . will . . .”
Andrea couldn’t help but mutter. Marco was grotesquely shaking his body. A rough gasping breath, an aura wrapped around a reddish hammer. An ominous air pervaded the deck .
After standing still for a while, Marco slowly turned his head .
The two eyes that lost reason were shining red .
The already vicious muscles swelled even more, and the tip of the hammer pointed at Andrea .
Symptoms of a typical ‘gwangbak’ .
A feeling of embarrassment running up your spine. Andrea faced an overwhelming crisis for the first time since meeting the Kraken .
