Chapter 47: Ch 47: Ninth Floor (2)
Rein was going to fight against the Kraken but his lightning magic was not going to be very useful for this battle. That was because the area where the Kraken was staying was surrounded by a special coral that had the properties of absorbing lightning to get strengthened.
Obviously as Rein's lightning was special, it would not be able to use it to strengthen itself and instead would get destroyed from inside. But still due to the salt water and these corals, his main attack method of lightning magic was going to be very limited for this fight.
But Rein was not too worried about it as he still had his light magic and sword. For a green grade transcendental monster, it was more than enough. And if she really wanted, he could just destroy all the lightning absorbing corals before the fight, but that was really not needed.
Rein had a chance to begin the fight with a sneak attack and that would have given him a decent advantage in battle. But an opponent like a Kraken with its multiple arms was a very good opponent to practice his weapon arts with it. So Rein decided to fight it head on.
As soon as the Kraken saw Rein, it immediately attacked. Two of the large tentacles were swung toward him. Rein dodged one of them while meeting the second one with his sword. After parrying it skillfully, he cut it down with a swing of this sword when the Kraken tried to pull it back.
But the Kraken had high regeneration capability and the tentacle grew back once again. Rein had expected it so he was not surprised.
He activated one of his divine sword's abilities and actively started to attack the Kraken. The Kraken also took Rein seriously and used all his large tentacles and even the smaller ones to attack him from all sides.
Rein focused intensely and started to cut the tentacles that were attacking him. The Kraken was not worried as it was sure that the tentacles that got cut would grow up just like before but that was not the case this time.
The ability that Rein activated on his sword was able to completely or at least partially block any healing effects. And as the Kraken's self healing ability was not very high tier so it was completely blocked by the sword's ability.
But after cutting four of the large ones Rein stopped. That was because without the ability to heal this Kraken was too weak and he would not be able to get much training done. So, he stopped when the Kraken was left with only 8 tentacles.
After that Rein fought the Kraken fair and square using nothing but his sword skills and arts. For that reason it was a very long battle but at last Rein was able to cut the Kraken in so many pieces that it was unable to recover anymore.
But still she was happy with the results of her experiment and quickly collected all the remaining meat.
Tasha was looking at the ugly worm like Charybdis and was clicking her tongue in irritation.
When they were deciding who would be taking on which terror, Rein immediately said that he wanted to fight against the Kraken as he did not want his precious lovers to go anywhere near that tentacled monstrosity.
Tasha and Stella both were fine with it as they really hated tentacles more than anything and were very happy that Rein was really looking out for them.
So far everything was good, but then a problem arisen. Both Tasha and Stella wanted to fight the leviathan and no one wanted the ugly worm Charybdis as their opponent. So Stella and Tasha had a regular rock-paper-scissor match which Tasha unfortunately lost.
And now here she was looking at this ugly monster.
She at first had some ideas to try a few new moves, but now she was no motivation for that and she immediately turned into her primal beast form.
The Charybdis immediately noticed her and tried to go toward her but before it could even move a muscle, Tasha released a breath attack on this sea creature.
Immediately, it got corroded with darkness and disappeared completely. Tasha had no intention of eating something so ugly, so she just made it disappear from the world.
Three of them met up in front of the Deep Sea Palace with their insignias. Tasha was the first one to reach this place as she ended her battle extremely quickly and Rein was the last one to come as he took his sweet time practicing his sword arts on the Kraken.
Next they needed to explore the Deep Sea Palace to clear this floor. So Rein, Stella and Tasha put their insignias on the door to the palace which then opened in a grand fashion. The Conquerors entered the palace as the door closed behind them.
