The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 204 Kraken

This giant squid looks no different from the small squids outside, but the big squid in front of him is huge, at least 15 meters tall, with its extended tentacles covering the sky and almost occupying the entire room.

Moreover, its two arms were holding a goddess statue. Upon closer inspection, it was the statue of Aqua.

Everyone's expression changed suddenly.

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded and shouted: "What is this, a giant squid? By the way, it's too big!"

"No, that's not right. This is the Kraken, he should be the owner of this lake!"

"Why is the owner of the lake in the temple?"

"I think this sunken temple is used as its nest. In other words, we are intruders who broke into its home. In addition, the reason why there are so many squids along the way is probably because their king, the Kraken, lives here."

Zun Zun's words made his expression slightly distorted.

Aqua was slightly surprised and asked, "So, the temple is full of squids, and it's all this guy's fault?"

"...So be it."

"What are you doing, squid? You are a squid, but you do whatever you want in the temple. I will never forgive you!"

She yelled, pointing at the Kraken.

But he quickly took a step back in disgust, hiding behind Sato Kazuma and whispered, "Why does it want to hug my statue? I feel like I'm being entangled. It's so uncomfortable!"

“His ...

Feeling provoked, the Kraken bared its fangs and roared at everyone.

Although he didn't know the habits of the Kraken, Zun Zun, who was familiar with the habits of living things, understood that it was intimidating and putting pressure on those who invaded its territory, and the next step would be to take the initiative to attack, drive them away or eliminate them.

"Is this someone you can communicate with, idiot?"

Sato Kazuma angrily scolded the stupid goddess who angered Kraken.

Darkness said, “Aqua, run away quickly while I’m still covering you…Waaaaaah!”

She was suddenly abducted by a tentacle.

Not only Darkness, but also Yunyun who was standing next to her was taken away.

“Waaaaaaa————! Wait, wait, why is it me… Help, help me, Zun-zun…!”

This guy is quite picky!

"Ugh!... What a strong binding... Ah! Even I can't move under such an attack... Ah!"

“Ms. Darkness, could you please not make such a happy sound during this critical moment!?”

“No, no! I’m not happy. I’m definitely not happy…! Ha…ha…!”

No, she was just happy.

This perverted female knight actually started enjoying herself at this time, and even the innocent Huihui was frightened.

“Honorable! I don’t know what kind of panting Darkness is! Is it excitement or pain? Which one?”

"I don't know either! But no matter what, let's rescue Youyou first..."

“Where’s Darkness?”

"...Let her be tied up."

Zun Zun chose not to help.

Maybe it might seem like an excessive thing to others, but for Darkness it is something he would love to have. Of course, Zun Zun would never really do that.

But what to do?

Using lightning magic to cut off the Kraken's tentacles is undoubtedly a good method, but it is easy to hurt Dakness and Yoyo.

……Um?

Wait, come to think of it, that monster has entangled the statue of Aqua, right? And it lives in this temple, could it be that it likes Aqua?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

He said to the stupid goddess paddling on the side: "Hey, Aqua! Whatever it takes, quickly attract the Kraken's attention!"

"Why, why do you have to let me do it? Can't you just do it yourself?"

"Because you are essential to rescuing them! Well, let me see your best street performance!"

Zun Zun shouted at her.

Aqua started to lecture unhappily, "Well, I can't perform just because someone asks me to. When the soul commands me to perform, I will perform naturally. I've said it many times, I won't sell myself cheaply... Huh?"

She suddenly stopped talking.

Kraken stared at Aqua, seeming to be very interested in her.

Although I don’t know what conditions are required for Aqua’s performance, it’s good enough that she can attract the Kraken.

The stupid goddess took several steps back.

"No, don't do that!"

"…Hah."

Kraken suddenly spat to the side. Although he seemed interested in Aqua, he didn't seem to like her very much.

"Wait, wait! What do you mean? I feel like I lost to the statue?!"

“No, well done Aqua! Maybe because I was in a bad mood just now, Yunyun’s bindings have loosened! While it’s not paying attention—”

Zun Zun jumped up.

"Light of Saber!"

The dazzling lightning magic was activated instantly, cutting off the two tentacles of the Kraken, and the two of them fell to the ground.

Sato Kazuma ran over quickly.

“…Okay, we’ve recovered both of them. Hey, Yunyun, Darkness, are you okay?”

"Yes, yes...thank you, thank you for your concern."

Youyou still looked a little confused.

On the other hand, Darkness.

“Ha…ha…ah, why was I released…I was tied up so tightly…” It seemed as if she was still unsatisfied with the bondage play just now.

"I saved you, but you still feel it's a pity." Sato Kazuma scolded her and said to everyone, "Okay, let's run away now!"

"I-I understand. Okay, Aqua, hurry up too!"

"So why is it better to have a stone statue, a mere squid!"

Aqua was dragged away with an indignant look on her face.

The group of people avoided the mad Kraken and fled from the temple, and stopped only after they had walked a long distance.

"Finally, I escaped. What should I do next?"

"Why not just leave? There's no need to confront it head-on. That's the Kraken's lair, so there's probably nothing worth exploring there."

Sato Kazuma began to back out.

He is usually the first to run away when there is danger. It is simply wishful thinking to expect him to fight a strong enemy for no reason.

But Aqua started again.

"I don't want it! This is my temple. Why should it be occupied by a mere squid? Do I still have the dignity of a goddess?!"

"Hey, at this point, do you still have the dignity of a goddess?"

“Waaaaaaa——”

The stupid goddess who was mocked by Sato Kazuma screamed and wrestled with her, and Huihui also seemed reluctant to leave.

"I also don't agree to retreat like this. It will seem like I have no choice but to escape. Besides, that guy - Kraken just bullied Youyou, so I have to retaliate against him."

“Megumin…!”

Youyou looked at her with emotion.

Darkness was also a little worried and asked, “Are you planning to defeat that Kraken? Ha…ha…! Kraken is very strong. With our current strength, I don’t know if we can win…”

“Darkness is right.”

Zun Zun nodded and said, "It is very unrealistic for us to defeat the Kraken now, especially in the water, which is where the Kraken is best. After all, my magic cannot be used underwater."

The reason why lightning magic is the nemesis of water magic is because water is conductive, but if the lightning magic itself is also conductive, it will not be able to use magic.

This is common sense.

"We must find a way to weaken the Kraken... water... water... how about just making the water disappear?"

Sato Kazuma began to think.

"Hey, Aqua, can you summon the water out of the room?"

"Of course you can, but the Kraken in the room will also be summoned. Since there is more water outside, it is obviously better to defeat it there."

What she said made so much sense that I was speechless.

"…Then let's try another method."

"Zun Zun, do you have any good ideas?"

"Think about it carefully. If the water in the room was caused by rubble, as long as we find a way to clean up the rubble, the water will drain out immediately. In this way, the Kraken, who is now jumping around, will become more obedient."

"It does make sense that water can make water disappear."

Zun Zun's idea seemed to be recognized by all members of the team.

Darkness nodded and said, “To do this, we need to clear the rubble from the flooded room.”

"Alright! Let's begin the water battle to fill up the room!"

Sato Kazuma shouted.

When it comes to clearing the rubble, you don't actually need to take it out of the room piece by piece. You just need to move the rubble at the door and drain the water in the room.

"That's it. Darkness, Zun Zun, I leave it to you."

"no problem."

"give it to me."

The two men came to the two sides of the huge rubble.

Youyou quickly warned, "Everyone, stay a little further away, the water will flow out all of a sudden."

Following her advice, Aqua and the others moved away from the door, while Zun Zun and Darkness also exerted their strength at the same time, slowly lifting the huge rubble that was blocking the door and putting it aside.

At the same time, the high-level water flow found an outlet and rushed down violently.

Okay, that's it.

In order to prevent the Kraken from escaping through the gap, they stood on both sides, ready at all times, and drew their weapons.

It wasn't until the water reached the bottom and all the water in the room flowed out that Valakn suddenly realized it.

But it was too late.

Zun Zun and the others rushed in again.

“His ...

The Kraken in the room was roaring at everyone fiercely, and its severed tentacles did not grow back. That's right, it was just an ordinary monster, and it didn't have the ability to regenerate like the giant slime.

"Hehehe——"

There was a dangerous gleam in Zun Zun's eyes.

"I might still be a little afraid of you underwater, but now land is our main battlefield, and you have no chance of winning!"

The roar that scared everyone just now now seems to be just a show of strength but a weakness.

"Okay, everyone!"

A meter-long lightning bolt shot out from Zun Zun's hand. Sato Kazuma, Darkness and the others also took out their weapons and stared at it dangerously.

"——Let's go side by side!"

"Oh!"xN
Everyone shouted and rushed forward.
