American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 298: Kraken
Charles opened his mouth, but his expression quickly turned dejected.

Although Charles wanted to refute Penny, he had to admit that her judgment was correct.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket; this is a principle everyone understands.

Catherine quickly comforted Charles.

“Mr. Weyland, with Mr. Black here, your daughter will be fine. Think about what happened on the Santiago!”

Charles finally calmed down, let out a sigh of relief, and nodded, forcing down his unease.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Finnigan breathed a sigh of relief. He actually agreed with Penny's opinion, but he had no say on the speedboat.

"In that case, let's all lend a hand. I can't start the ship quickly by myself!"

One minute later, the speedboat detached from the ghost ship and slowly drove away into the distance.

After finally getting some distance away from the ghost ship, they saw a huge sea monster emerge from the sea and begin attacking the Antonia Graza.

"Damn it! It really is that guy! Everyone be careful!"

Because they were not far away, the towering waves stirred up by the sea monster crashed towards the speedboat, almost capsizing it.

Fortunately, Finnigan's driving skills were indeed excellent, and he successfully kept the speedboat alive in the giant waves.

The sea monster paid no attention to the speedboat; its only target seemed to be the Antonia Graza.

"too frightening!"

Charles was still horrified when he witnessed the sea monster's attack again. Humans were as insignificant as ants in front of the sea monster.

The five people aboard the Antonia Graza felt a violent shaking, catching everyone off guard.

Because the ghost ship had been very stable, to the point that no one could even feel that they were at sea, the sudden violent shaking left everyone somewhat bewildered.

"What happened?"

Roy was just about to speak to Michael when this happened.

Then, Michael's expression changed, and he gave his answer.

"Oh no! I sense that Leviathan's bloodline is nearby!"

Upon hearing this, Roy paused for a moment, then immediately thought of the sea monster from before.

"Could it be that sea monster?"

Roy's expression was extremely grim; the fact that the sea monster had managed to track him this far almost confirmed his earlier suspicions.

This means the sea monster was deliberately tracking him, which was likely the effect of the spell recited by the female version of Nailhead.

The reason it didn't come directly to Roy before was probably because the food on the San Diego was so plentiful that it temporarily forgot about Roy.

In other words, as long as Roy is at sea, the sea monster will keep chasing him.

"Roy, I don't have much time. I need to deal with that sea monster first. We can talk again if we have a chance!"

After saying that, Michael drew his Sword of Judgment and swung it several times at the wall of the boiler room, creating neat cuts that led directly to the outside of the Antonia Graza.

Roy opened his mouth, but ultimately decided not to stop Michael; some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back.

So Roy picked up the Eye of the Dead and turned to walk toward the treasure vault.

Inside the treasure vault, Serena and Trillin had already woken up. The group was still confused about what had happened and assumed it was the commotion caused by Roy's battle with Antonia Graza, until Roy ran back and told Heather and the others.

"This cruise ship might sink soon! Joey, let's hurry to the engine room, find some parts, and get out of here!"

"What about all these jewels and gold?"

Cui Lin stared greedily at the jewels and gold in the vault, seemingly unwilling to leave.

Roy was speechless. This woman was really greedy. He had no choice but to walk up and give her a hard slap on the butt.

"Idiot, these things are on this ship, they won't run away. Even if the ship sinks, we can go back and salvage them! You won't be shortchanged!"

Upon hearing this, Joey's eyes flashed.

"Do I have one too?"

Roy nodded.

"Everyone will get one, but I want the biggest one!"

Cui Lin and Joey naturally wouldn't refuse. If it weren't for Roy, they wouldn't have survived until now, and Roy should rightfully get the biggest share.

However, after Roy said that, Tracy and Joey's mobility suddenly increased. They walked around the constantly rocking cruise ship without any complaints and their steps were very light.

In this situation, Joey quickly found usable parts, and the five of them began to escape the ghost ship.

At that moment, Roy suddenly felt like he was being watched, and immediately activated his Eye of Truth to search his surroundings.

Before long, Roy saw the girl in the white dress hiding in the corner.

"Hey you, what are you doing over there?"

The others looked at Roy in surprise, because they hadn't seen anything; the girl in the white dress had deliberately hidden herself.

"You still found out."

The girl in the white dress appeared shyly, almost scaring Joey, who was the most timid of all, to death.

"Oh my God!"

"Calm down, Joey! She's just a little ghost. Why don't you go to heaven?"

Roy thought that all the ghosts on the ship had been taken by Rachel, but now it seems that only the soul that Antonia Graza had exposed was taken by Rachel, and the other souls on the ship are still there.

The girl in the white dress looked at Roy somewhat shyly.

“I came to thank you before I leave, to thank you for freeing me from Antonia Grassa’s control, even though you did those things to me.”

Such a thing?
Serena, Trillin, and Joey all looked at Roy with strange eyes, as if he were a pervert, which made Roy's face darken.

"Explain yourself! I only spanked you, I didn't do anything else!"

The girl in the white dress chuckled softly, and then her body began to float slowly upwards.

"Hehe, anyway, thank you! I wish you happiness and good health! By the way, my name is Katie Hargrove."

Who asked you?

Roy suspected that the girl in the white dress didn't ascend to heaven just to annoy him. Even though Roy had just explained, Serena, Trillin, and Joey still looked at him strangely.

"Why are you all looking at me? I've already said I didn't do that kind of thing!"

At this moment, Heather stood up and said something fair.

"You guys should believe Roy! Roy isn't that kind of person, he just likes big things!"

Joey looked at Heather's figure, then thought of Penny and Francesca, and a look of sudden realization dawned on him.

"So that's it!"

"Don't waste any more time, we don't have much time left!"

With that, Roy walked toward the deck with a dark expression.

As soon as the five stepped out of the cabin onto the deck, they felt the Antonia Graza begin to capsize. Serena lost her footing and was thrown out.

Roy immediately transformed into his demon form, pulled the others out of the water, and then went to grab Serena, managing to rescue her before she fell into the water.

Then, Roy carried the four people onto the speedboat, which raised the speedboat's waterline considerably.

"Oh, thank God! Serena, you're back safe and sound!"

Charles embraced Serena with overwhelming joy.

Roy scoffed. "God has already disappeared. You should thank me instead of God."

"Fenigan, you sail away from the battlefield first, I'll deal with that sea monster!"

Finnigan nodded, but Amy was a little worried.

"Roy, should we leave? That sea monster is just too big!"

“Running away isn’t an option. I suspect that sea monster is after me. As long as I’m still at sea, I can’t escape!”

"But……"

Serena wanted to speak, but Roy waved her hand.

"A friend from heaven just contacted me. I'm not fighting alone. Now is the best chance to take down the sea monster."

The crowd stopped trying to dissuade him and watched Roy take off, the speedboat's waterline dropping rapidly in an instant.

Hmm, Roy in his demon form is just too heavy.

At this point, the battle between Michael and the sea monster had reached a stalemate.

Michael, positioned high above, could easily sever part of the sea monster's body with a single swing of his sword.

The sea monster's tentacles could hardly harm Michael, who was flying in the sky, so Michael had a complete advantage in the situation.

However, Michael still frowned greatly because the sea monster had a very strong regenerative ability; even if its body was severed, it would quickly regenerate or grow new limbs.

Roy flew over to support Michael at this time.

"Michael, how is the situation?"

Upon seeing Roy in his demon form, Michael frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.

"This is troublesome! This guy is a legendary Kraken, a creature of enormous size with incredibly strong regenerative abilities. I can't kill it anytime soon!"

Kraken?
Roy knew about this thing. The Kraken is a sea monster in Norwegian folklore that roams the waters near Norway and Iceland. It is also known as the Kraken or the Norwegian Sea Monster. Legend has it that it often attacks ships and fishermen at sea. He never expected that this thing would actually exist.

"Michael, is there any way to deal with it?"

"The best way is to use flames and strong acid to destroy its regenerative abilities, but it's in the sea right now, so I can only wear it down. But I don't have much time left!"

That's really troublesome!
As mentioned before, it would be difficult for angels and demons to move around on Earth for long periods of time; they would need a physical body.

Therefore, both angels and demons will choose to find a suitable human host to possess.

"Would we be able to kill it if we just destroyed its self-healing ability?"

Michael nodded.

"Then see mine!"

Roy quickly entered a state of bloodlust, and wounds slowly appeared on his skin, with blood beginning to evaporate from his body.

Then Roy swooped down into Kraken's mouth.

"Roy!"

Michael didn't expect Roy to do this and didn't have time to stop him.

Clenching his teeth, Michael raised the Sword of Judgment, preparing to unleash a powerful attack.

"Heaven——"

The blade of the Sword of Judgment burst forth with dazzling light. Just then, the sun began to rise, and under the morning light, the Sword of Judgment became incredibly dazzling, visible even to people on speedboats several nautical miles away.

The light grew larger and longer, shooting straight into the sky as if extending into the universe.

"—The Sword!"

Michael brought his sword down heavily, striking Kraken.

Kraken let out a shrill scream as its entire body split in two in an instant, and the cruise ship and the sea behind it were completely separated, stretching as far as the eye could see, as if the entire ocean had been divided apart.

However, as Michael said, the Kraken has an extremely strong regenerative ability, and even the power of the Holy Light cannot completely destroy its body.

Because the Kraken's body was so enormous, the energy required to completely destroy it with holy light would be terrifying.

Even if Michael is one of the four archangels, he cannot draw upon so much holy light energy at once.

The cut portion of the Kraken has begun to slowly recover, and this is only under the influence of the Holy Light. Without the Holy Light, it would recover even faster.

At that moment, Michael saw Roy, wielding an executioner's knife, covered in blood, and with six black tentacles on his back, wildly hacking around inside Kraken's body.

Kraken's stomach acid is extremely corrosive, but Roy possesses super healing abilities derived from Deadpool's Lady Zombie, coupled with his own strong physique, making him perfectly capable of withstanding Kraken's stomach acid in battle.

The Dark Touch's powerful ability to devour flesh and blood can effectively kill Kraken.

After all, no matter how fast Kraken regenerates health, Roy simply cuts its maximum health, rendering that regeneration speed useless.

Kraken realized what Roy was trying to do, and a large number of small tentacles immediately grew from his body to try to stop Roy. However, the executioner's blade, which was empowered by hellish power, burned with dark red flames. These flames were extremely powerful and burned all the small tentacles that wanted to entangle Roy to ashes.

Michael saw through Roy's tactics, so he began to cooperate with Roy's fighting style, trying to divide Kraken's body as much as possible.

Blood Rage caused Roy's health to continuously decrease, but Super Healing restored his health. Dark Touch was able to absorb Kraken flesh and blood to replenish the life energy required for Super Healing to restore health, thus entering a positive cycle.

Unless Kraken can break this cycle, it will eventually be worn down by Roy.

At this moment, the Kraken's massive size became a disadvantage, as it had no way to catch the agile demon form Roy.

As a result, Kraken's body began to shrink visibly under Roy's ministrations.

In just half an hour, it shrank by about a quarter.

At this rate, Kraken will be completely devoured by Roy in at most two hours.

At this point, Kraken began to feel fear, and its biological instincts made it no longer want to carry out the orders given by the female version of Nailhead, so it began to swim deeper into the sea.

Completely unprepared, Roy was taken down by Kraken.

Just as Michael was about to rescue Roy, he heard a hymn coming from above, and at the same time a beam of holy light fell on her head.

It is time for Michael to return to Heaven. If he does not return immediately, something very troublesome will happen, and he will also violate the rules of Heaven.

Michael gritted his teeth, raised the Sword of Judgment once more, and activated the Sword of Heaven. He quickly charged up the power with the help of the holy light brought by the opening of the Gates of Heaven, and then swung it down.

This time, the Sword of Heaven was much less powerful than before, but it still reached the depths of the ocean and once again sliced ​​the Kraken in two.

"Roy, this is all I can do for you. I hope you'll be alright!"

Michael glanced at the cleaved sea and was then forced to fly into the gates of heaven.

One more angel
