Chapter 136 – Kraken Subjugation (2)

As soon as I saw the blue arrow that appeared along with Doshi-hee’s voice, I immediately had many thoughts.

I was too focused on the battle, so I confronted the Kraken for over two hours, and in the meantime, I had a sudden hope that Eunbyeol and Doshihee returned with reinforcements.

Unfortunately, seeing only the sound of a single helicopter, such a hopeful future seemed unlikely.

“Sir Seongcheol!!”

… I told you to run away

Should I express my gratitude to Do Si-hee and Eun-byeol for saving my life once in a desperate situation?

Or, at best, I felt like I should be angry that my sacrifice was for naught.

I wonder if I would have brought up the story of sticking together from the beginning if I had known it would end like this anyway.

“..Haha, really.”

Anyway, for now, I’ll have to put everything else aside and focus all my energy on dealing with the Kraken right in front of me.

I couldn’t give up because I couldn’t see the future anymore.

Now, really, the moment I fell, it would not be a sacrifice to save someone else, but a dog death with everyone.

It was not a very satisfying end to life.

“Get away from Mr. Seongcheol!!”

As soon as I heard Doshi-hee’s voice in the air, a blue arcane arrow pierced the Kraken’s leg, and the tentacle that was approaching to finish me off flinched once more, startled by Doshi-hee’s arrow.

It’s not powerful enough to destroy a bridge, but it’s powerful enough to instantly startle you and make you retreat.

There seemed to be enough space to use it in many ways.

The problem is that my history has already been exhausted by scratching to the bottom.

Her zealous assistance was meaningless if I, who could deliver the least amount of effective blows, couldn’t do something.

After taking a breather for a while, I felt that my strength had risen a bit, but I had a hunch that it would still be impossible to use proper technique.

‘Esilla.’

“This is Esilla.”

‘The point shop or whatever is good, so is there any way to replenish my history?’

「Currently, we are selling a service that uses all of Kim Seong-cheol’s remaining points and replenishes his strength according to the amount at the Point Shop.”

‘How much do I get if I use all my remaining awakening points?’

「It is about 15% based on Kim Seong-cheol’s current maximum strength.」

‘… Write it all down and make up for it.’

It was a pity that it wasn’t filled more explosively than I thought, but I couldn’t help it. It must be the limit of what can be hoped for with only 60 points.

With the history of scraping the floor, I only cut four legs, so to be honest, it wasn’t enough.

… That would be a story when Doshi-hee didn’t exist.

“I told you to stay away from Seongcheol!!”

If the blonde young lady shooting arcane arrows from the helicopter could remove at least one or two legs, there was a chance.

‘Esilla, how much power do I have left?’

“About 19%.”

‘Tell me whenever you run out. I have to calculate.’

“All right.”

First of all, I used emergency recovery with the strength I had replenished to self-heal my tired bones and muscles.

There was no time to heal the scratches and scars on the body, so it was enough to move freely.

“The remaining strength is about 12%.”

That alone had to consume a whopping 7%, but it was necessary.

If only I could use the remaining 12% of my strength to somehow cut off two legs including the tentacles, and if Doshi-hee could remove at least one of the remaining four legs.

If he did that, he could finish the leg before he could regenerate it.

I explained the improvised strategy to Doshi-hee, who was floating in the air to share my opinion with the blonde archer.

“Mr. Sihee!”

“… Yes!!!”

“Continue to get his attention! In the meantime, I’ll cut another tentacle!!”

“… Yes!!!”

Taking advantage of the gap where the Kraken’s attention was focused on Doshi-hee’s arcane arrow, I adjusted my grip on the greatsword and moved closer to the guy’s main body.

In order to stop the guy’s remaining tentacles from functioning properly, he had to cut off more than half of them with at least one sword strike.

So while she fired arrows, she ran at full speed, holding the greatsword on the tentacle on her opposite side.

Thud! As soon as I approached him with a sound, his longest leg moved to crush me.

Perhaps he instinctively knew that it was dangerous if his one remaining tentacle was attacked, but the remaining legs also joined forces to block my approach.

“It can’t be like that!!”

A bunch of arcane arrows shot from the air hit multiple legs at once, causing them to cringe temporarily.

It is a multiple shot that the power of each shot is reduced as it is dispersed, but there was no wide-area skill that attracted that much attention.

“……… !!!”

Although there was no cry, I heard the slippery rubbing sound of the guy who nervously moved his tentacles as if it was annoying.

In the meantime, I was able to take advantage of the time that Doshi-hee earned and reach the midpoint of his left forearm.

I hit Miss, who was wrapped in something that I didn’t know if it was energy or inner strength, with my great sword straight into the guy’s tentacle.

The unpleasant sensation of cutting something with a wick ran through both hands while it was squirming, but somehow, with this, he was able to deal with his most troublesome means.

“……… !!!!”

“Keah!!”

“Seongcheol!”

Of course, the guy with one of his legs cut off couldn’t stay still, so he had to fly through the air once more after being hit by the rampaging tentacle.

Fortunately, this time, Krael’s corpse was able to land on the sandy beach on the lesser side, so things got better.

… Not that it wasn’t painful, of course.

“Ah, sir….”

I tried to raise my painful body quickly, but unfortunately, he moved faster than I did, and the moment I tried to cut off the leg approaching me with my strength, thinking that survival came first before my strength.

“I told you to get off!!!”

Several arrows flew again, causing the Kraken’s movements to shrink.

Thanks to that, the remaining power was somehow preserved. I don’t know how much is left.

「Currently, the strength remaining is 2%.」

‘What?’

“The Kraken’s tentacles are more durable than the other legs, so it took a lot more energy to slash them.”

… If Doshi-hee hadn’t handed over her legs, she would have been crushed.

I used up all the awakening points that I had gathered all the way to the bottom, but now the remaining power is the amount that will fall after using magic once or twice.

It was a situation where I really had to leave the treatment of the remaining legs to Doshi-hee.

“……… !!!”

On the other hand, the Kraken moved the aggro that was attracted to me to the helicopter in the air, as if the arrows that interfered with it were annoying several times.

As before, he fired ink shells at the helicopter.

The helicopter, which was hit by a sudden ink shell, staggered greatly, and Doshi-hee leaned out of the helicopter door due to the impact.

“… Kyaaaaa!!”

“Master!!”

Fortunately, I managed to hang onto the ground support of the helicopter with one arm right before falling, but it was a very difficult position to return to the cabin in the air.

In addition, the Kraken seemed to be preparing the next ink shell right away, and I hurriedly shouted to Doshi-hee, sensing a crisis.

“Leave your hands and get away, Si-hee!”

As soon as she heard my words, she put her hand in without a doubt, and the body of the blond young lady fell from 50 meters in the air.

I put her greatsword in her pocket and ran towards her as she fell from the air at full speed.

“Quaaaaa!!!”

Even in the midst of her fall, Doshi-hee, who crouched down on her body, holding on to her own bow, got closer and closer to her ground.

Finally, when she reached a point about 20 meters above her, she threw me forward at a 45 degree angle.

In her air, I felt the soft body of her city slip into her arms, and I landed with both feet on her sandy beach, holding her as she was.

“It’s okay?!”

“Yes, yes…. Seongcheol….”

Doshi-hee, who was blushing in my arms, quietly nodded to her.

That expression was quite cute, but of course it wasn’t the time to leisurely confirm love.

“I, what should I do now, Mr. Seongcheol?”

“What can I do? We have to kill that half-dead kraken and escape again. Seeing that no one stronger than the Kraken has appeared yet, it seems that he is the boss of this monster wave.”

In the monster wave, it was common for the rest to fade once the boss monster was defeated, so it would be okay if only the Kraken was defeated.

“At least, since I cut two of my tentacles, there’s no chance at all.”

“Ha, but my arrows can’t destroy the legs of the Kraken, an S-class monster. At least, the only thing that keeps me from approaching for a while is the shock….”

“Mr. Eunbyeol? Is Eunbyeol’s ability the same?”

“Eunbyeol’s awakening ability is the ability to manipulate blades with magnetism. However, the weight of the blade that can be manipulated is limited, so it will be difficult to deliver an effective blow.”

“Neither way is right….”

In addition, while thinking that it would be difficult to join her driving her helicopter.

“Master! I will go down too!!”

Suddenly, in the air, it seemed as if Eunbyeol’s voice came towards me.

I wonder what you’re talking about, so I looked up at the sky and saw Eunbyeol, the maid, falling from above Doshihee and me with her parachute on.

Her helicopter, which had just been flying through the air, flew in the opposite direction from her and began to crash.

Kwakwang! The aerial vehicle, which made a cheerful explosion sound, exploded tremendously along with the Kraken’s one leg.

It was fortunate that the number of tentacles to deal with was reduced, but….

“… We have joined, Master, Kim Seong-cheol.”

… Who will take you home now?
