Chapter 506 – #107_Fishbowl (6)

#506

One.
The place where Siu and Deneb settled is the eastern end of the city.

On the other hand, the Kraken, which crawls from the dock with its huge body, is entering the plaza swinging its huge legs.
The tunnel-sized mouth protruding from its head chewed up the side dishes of flying fish flying around without a break, and the relatively small mouth sprouting from the sucker also helped with the meal.

The elongated pupils rolled over and captured Siu and Deneb.
It was moving slowly towards this side, but it was not an attack.
It wasn’t particularly threatening.

However, if the act of greedily devouring a flock of flying fish is combined with a ruthless weight class, it will exert physical force comparable to a natural disaster.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!

As the long tentacles swung horizontally hit the bell tower, the bell tower was cut through the ground and flew to the far side of the castle.
I realized where the saying that a weight class is a gangster came from.
No matter how hard you fight, if you get hit by the octopus’s kick, you won’t be able to pick up a bone.

“♪ ♫~”

Meanwhile, Deneb was perfecting his magic under Siu’s escort.

Singing magic.
Every time the beautiful melody that seems to play a celestial tune creates a wave, the action of magical power is amplified like an echo.

Violet sparks were clattering around her, creating a magnificent vibration.

Gemani’s original hierarchy was the 22nd hierarchy.
Having shared one of her bowls with her twins, she is ranked 21st.
Even without Albireo, the level that Deneb could exercise alone was the beginning of the 20th hierarchy, the level of a great witch.

There are an unusually large number of high-ranking witches around Siu, right? The great witch belongs to the top 1% of all witches.
It is an existence that defies the order and mystery of the world.
And Deneb was proving the greatness of her magic without regret.

With the tune moving toward the climax, bundles of condensed magical power are shot into the sky.
The flashing thunderbolt, dyeing the entire night sky purple, declared doom in line with Deneb’s funeral song.

A flash incomparable to natural lightning.
Along with the amount of light that instantly turned the sight in front of his eyes into pure white, the spear of magical power struck the Kraken’s head.
The octopus caught the attack belatedly and the three legs of the octopus lifted for defense evaporated without a trace.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-guang!!!!

One flash and half a beat late binge.

“Keeeee!!!!”

And the terrifying scream of the Kraken, one beat slow.
Struggling like a whole octopus in boiling water, the Kraken frantically swung its remaining leg and smashed it all around her.

“How is it? If you show the skills I saw, this is it.”

Deneb came to the side, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
It can’t even be compared to the attack he poured out on Siwoo.
At the time, she was quite relaxed.

If he had been properly hit by such an attack, even the strongest Shiu would have died.
However, I didn’t know how to straighten Siwoo’s expression.

“…….”

Because in the lighting, as if hundreds of flash bombs exploded all at once.
It was because he was closely watching the process of Deneb’s blow directly hitting the Kraken.

Siwoo witnessed the moment the sharpened magical spear tip touched the body of the octopus.
Transparent scales that shouldn’t exist for normal invertebrates shattered her blows.
Like rainwater flowing through a stone floor, waves of magical energy that should be concentrated flow along the scales of the body.

“Siwoo-kun?”
“Denev. It doesn’t look like it’s over yet.”
“Yes? It can’t be.”

At first, Deneb showed a questionable reaction as if that couldn’t be the case.
However, it soon became a face similar to Siu.

“Keeeee Meeeee!”

Kraken’s screams never stop.
The painful motion of rolling the large body around is also too long and rough to be the final stage of death.

“I’m sure it was right….”
“Is there any magic that is more powerful than that of Gemanai?”
“There is, there is…. Without my sister….”

It can’t be like this.
There are no detailed records of the Witch of the Deep, but during her lifetime, she led the 21st hierarchy and fought five monsters.

Considering that her power is split that much when she commands multiple familiars, Deneb should be able to subdue that octopus.
If she even directly attacked a large-scale magic ceremony developed with half of her magic power and a chant that lasted close to one minute.

Did an unexpected variable occur?
A strong foreshadowing? Or was the magical compatibility not good?

“That bastard has scales on his body. Deneb-sama’s magic let the direct attack slip away.”
“I beg your pardon? Can you see that?”

Did you see that Deneb, the sorcerer, didn’t even notice in the chaos?
There was still something to be astonished about in her appearance, but unfortunately the situation was not so relaxed.

“Quooooo-!!!!!”

The Kraken roared again.
His body, which had been dark, started to change color like a palette filled with dark colors.
Shouts of clear hostility and anger were pouring toward Siu and Deneb.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guy who had been moving leisurely as if he had been invited to a dinner party, now went on a rampage to hunt.
It starts crawling at a speed that can’t be compared to before.
The shock was so great that the building staggered as if it would collapse at any moment when Siu and Deneb stepped on it.

“Nonsense… ! Playback has already ended….”

As Deneb said.
His legs, which had evaporated without a shape, were regaining their former majesty as if it had never happened.

Incredible regeneration and power.
And the natural disaster-level physical power that comes from his massive body.

“I will try one more time. I will ask for cover this time too.”

Deneb prepares to sing by raising his magic once again.

“Can I make it on time? I don’t know if it’s catch, but that’s…. I don’t think I can stop it.”
“There is still a distance!”
“It is better to observe more calmly….”
“Cover!”

Siu closed his mouth.
In fact, he felt an instinctive reluctance towards Deneb’s strategy.
All this time, the senses in his body that had crossed his limbs were warning him.

Now it’s the octopus’s turn, not this one.
However, before Shi-woo can say anything back, he cannot leave Deneb alone, who has entered the brothel.

The time when Deneb was forced to continue chanting.
A shadow fell across the sky.
The legs that were much longer than the other tentacles he had ever wielded, the hunting legs he had hidden under his belly, had been swung like a whip.
It looks slow because it is so huge, but the speed of the tip with centrifugal force added on the same principle as that of a whip is close to the speed of sound.

“Deneb-sama!”
“Kyaaak!”

Shiu hugged Deneb by the waist while he was still singing and rolled his body.
Even if this is called avoidance, what is it?
It was a rapid movement close to a grand exodus.

-Quaaaaa!!!!

The Kraken’s legs struck from above completely cut the city in two.
The ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred along with a deafening roar.
The flexibly retrieved leg falls over the heads of Shiu and Deneb, who run away again.

“Bloom!”

Siwoo gritted his teeth and copied his mana, devoting all his mana to strengthening his body and ribbons.
If you can use the coordinate movement formula, you don’t have to go through such hardships, but the problem is swarms of flying fish flying all over the city.
If the coordinates overlap, a terrible disaster may occur, so it cannot be used recklessly.

-Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the meantime, the Kraken, which had come closer, added two legs and unleashed a relentless attack.
I don’t know if it’s okay to call it an ‘attack’ that changes not only the buildings but also the terrain.

No matter how strong the durability of the spiritual body is and how hard Siu’s armor is, a direct hit would not be able to extract even a bone.
Even the fragments created by the rushing blows from front to back, left and right, were as menacing as if a bomb had exploded next to them.

“Damn it.”
“Siwoo-kun, now I can move by myself.”
“Excuse me a little more. I will be faster.”
“… I know.”

Even the little mother-in-law who sometimes looks erratic and clumsy is definitely a witch.
If you were like any other person, you could keep your composure in a situation where even screaming would not be enough.

Deneb sang a little song like a lullaby.
Along with the magical power mixed with the beautiful voice, vitality and strength dwell in the body.

Shiu and Deneb’s death chase continued until the day dawned.

2.
One thing for sure.
In this world, there was only day or night, and there was no dawn or evening.

It seemed to get brighter, but the sun rose in the middle of the sky and wiped out the dense flock of flying fish as if melting them.

The city, which collapsed without leaving even rubble, was restored as it was when it first arrived, as if it had turned back time.
It is truly a closed loop, a world that repeats itself day after day.

“Ha….”

The two share a long sigh after confirming that the chaos has passed.
Both Deneb and Shiu were exhausted from running away from the angry Kraken.

“Still, it’s a relief that a day isn’t 24 hours long.”
“… It’s an isolated world of this size. Unless you’re Duke Keter, all sorts of restrictions are bound to stick.”

Deneb was sitting on top of a broken wooden box.
However, when she saw that an unknown black liquid from her box seeped into her nightgown, she used the magic of cleanliness to wash off the dust and sweat from the two of them.

“… Shall we have a strategy meeting?”
“Okay.”

Still, it is hopeful that he survived and that he obtained various information.
At least, we decided to make the most neat interior of the church our home and started the strategy meeting.
