The interstellar cargo ship Pelican. A sailor turned his head and shouted.
âThe injection point is pa.s.sing.â
âWhat cargo is being ejected?â
âD-1201! The cargo loaded from Tatuine!â
âD-1201âŠ..!â
The corners of the captainâs eyes shook. A rumour had spread on the Pelican since it started sailing. It was about the cargo D-1201 that they picked up on Tatuine.
-Cargo number: D-1201
Handle with caution! A special security cargo!
These labels were stuck on the container. The captain of the interstellar ship specialized in transporting cargo.
There was a reason he had that background. The captain had grasped the situation the moment he saw the labels on the cargo. The cargo was probably involved with the galactic federation or the military. He didnât know what the cargo was but it was better to just not be interested in it. HoweverâŠ..
Boom! Bak bak bak bak! Boom! Bak bak bak bak!
Noise started coming from the cargo container. Normally the only sounds that filled the warehouse was the cargo hitting the wall or nails scratching something.
Working in transportation didnât have a lot of risks. They loaded and unloaded cargo and occasionally fought s.p.a.ce pirates. Therefore the transportation crew members were surprisingly weak to a situation like this.
âD-did you hear? The sound from the cargo bay?â
âAre aliens hiding in there?â
âNo, I heard from the person in charge of the cargo bay that the sound is coming from inside a cargo.â
âWhat on earth are the contents? What is causing such sounds?â
âd.a.m.n, how would I know? Doesnât this seem like the Horizon incident? Have you heard about Horizon? A cargo transport ship disappeared during a warp sail. They went missing for a few days and when they returned the entire crew were turned into mummies.â
âWhy? Why?â
âWho knows. Theyâre all dead.â
The sailor looked around then added in a low voice.
âI heard there was a boom from one of the cargo before Horizon disappeared.â
An unidentified ghost story spread through the corridor like moisture!
âCaptain-nim, perhaps the noise from TatuineâŠâŠâ
âDonât think about it! I have no interest!â
The captain shook his head.
âWeâre not pioneers. It is useless to feel curiosity. We just need to deliver the cargo to the destination. We will pa.s.s by the coordinates on the way to the Haven planet, eject the cargo and it will be over. It is a maximum of two days. So it is futile to be interested!â
The captain thought to himself with a resolute expression.
âScary! d.a.m.n, so scary!â
In fact, the captain also couldnât sleep because he visualized the ghost stories from the crew. But now his sleepless nights were over. The transportation area wasnât part of the shipâs regular route so they would inject it into the cargo pa.s.sage closest to the coordinates. And the Pelican finally arrived safely (?) at their destination. Nothing happened despite the noise but the Pelicanâs crew considered it the adventure of a lifetime.
âCaptain-nim, we did it!â
âIt is still too early to tell. Our mission will only end after the cargo is ejected! Confirm the coordinates!â
âCoordinates are confirmed! Electromagnetic charging is complete! Captain-nim, the cargo is ready for ejection!â
The Pelicanâs doors opened and a giant barrel soared out. Mounted on the barrel was the D-1201 cargo that caused an urban legend!
âGoodbye now! That d.a.m.n cargo!â
âLaunch!â
Wiiiiing! Kwaaaah!
The container accelerated due to the electromagnetic power and crossed outer s.p.a.ce. And it instantly turned when it reached a certain point.
While the 2nd investigation team was looking at more than 20 planets, Irina had been researching the Kero with the 1st team. The hooded man, Katz and Kero were the ones who caused the red rays on Amara that created the magic circle in the Harmadon constellation. The hooded had died when Ark took the airship to escape!
âThe only remaining clues are the Katz and the Kero. But the Katz clan had been confined on Stael before joining them. They have something to do with the hooded man but there is no evidence they are part of Organization X. But the Kero clan are clearly Organization Xâs operatives. The Kero live on a frontier colony. Anyway, the Rama and Aschulat are monitoring my team so it is better to concentrate on the Kero.â
Those were Irinaâs thoughts. And she went around the frontier to investigate. They got some clues about the Rama and Aschulatâs monitoring network and were able to escape it to come to Turan. However shocking news was waiting for her.
9 s.p.a.ceships had been destroyed after only two days! One of them was the Silver Star. It was none other than Arkâs ship. The more puzzling thing was that two days had pa.s.sed and Ark was still missing. The team units that had been killed by the Rama and the mysterious enemies had already revived in Turan. But so far there was no news about Ark.
âAnd his teammates are also missing?â
âA couple of team members revived in Turan.â
âWhat did they say?â
âThey donât know any details so they were killed in the middle of a battle.â
The person speaking was Hawk.
âSo there is a possibility they are still aliveâŠâŠâ
Hawk seemed to have expected Irinaâs question and replied coldly.
âThat might be true. But nothing will change even if they have survived.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI said it clearly when everyone was a.s.sembled on Turan. I will only accept the teams that have proven their ability. But the fact that 9 ships were destroyed by unidentified enemies disappointed me. Surprise attacks are common on the s.p.a.ce frontier. If they donât have that type of crisis management skills then theyâve already failed.â
âYou mean to discard them?â
âDiscard? That is a fairly emotional term youâre using. I heard that Ensign Irina-nim is so cold that you could make an android cry.â
Hawk looked at her with interested eyes.
âIâm not saying that I want to abandon them. They have already lost their ships. Even with the insurance, it will take a considerable amount of time to buy back a ship. We have no time to wait until then.â
âArk-nimâs death hasnât been confirmed yet.â
âBut he didnât return on time. I gave all teams two days and those that went to planets even further away than Ark have returned. Even if he is still alive, Ark is already disqualified.â
âHe is a pioneer that Marquis Martin considered exceptional.â
âAll team members are the same.â
Hawk replied shortly.
âThere are no exceptions. It doesnât matter if Ark has received Marquis Martinâs favour!â
And he turned his body so the wide cloak with the blue skull was shown. The embroidery gave off a vaguely menacing atmosphere.
âWe donât have a lot of time. If we donât discard people then we canât move forward. And the destination has already been set. We have to throw away our colleagues.â
Hawk strode to the doors that split apart. 11 people were in front of him. They were the teams who came back from the mission and surprise attacks alive. Hawkâs mouth rose as he saw them.
âBe prepared. Depart for the following destination.â
âWhy on earth hasnât Ark-nim made any contact?â
âŠâŠHe wasnât in a position to contact anyone.
âHyung-nim, danger! Everyone take cover!
âd.a.m.n squid! Eat this!
Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!
Gunshots subsequently burst out through the darkness! A blue light also flashed between a huge shadow. It was a giant squid with a body size of 30~40 metres. It was the monster called Kraken that was the ancestor of the Squids. This guy didnât just have a large body.
t.i.ting! t.i.ting! t.i.ting!
The body was covered in an armour like epidermis so the bullets bounced off it! It was literally a squid wearing armour.
âDonât shoot blindly! Focus and attack one point!â
âEven if you tell us to focusâŠâŠ
Buwaaaaang!
At that moment a huge, thick object fell towards the party. The huge objects falling was the Krakenâs legs! The body might be long but it had ma.s.sive legs several metres in diameter.
âDammit! These squid legs! Iron Wall!
Slayer raised his shield and shouted. But in the next moment, Slayer flew back dozens of metres into a wall. It was the same with the other team members. The Kraken swung its 10 legs crazily so it was hard for the party to defend, let alone attack.
Members who used firearms like Kurakan and Leon could only fire as they ran away. Therefore they couldnât concentrate on hitting one point and the bullets just bounced off the Krakenâs armour. On the other hand, the Krakenâs tentacles went peng! Peng! Peng! Those who were hit would become rice cakes like Slayer who bravely confronted it.
-KuuckâŠ..d.a.m.nâŠ..
Slayer groaned and shook from the wall he flew into. Fortunately the actual damage wasnât that large. The Krakenâs attack wasnât weak. One leg contained the weight of the huge body that was several tons. The weight itself was a destructive power. It was impossible to be safe after being hit by that leg. However, this was s.p.a.ce so it was weightless.
Arkâs party was deprived of their weight and floated dozens of metres in the air. It also meant that the impact would be as light as a feather so there wasnât large damage. It was the principle behind why it was so hard to destroy an object floating in air.
âBut this weightlessness isnât an advantage!â
It was the reason why this team members were wandering. Ark had obtained s.p.a.cewalk from cleaning the Silver Star so he had relatively free movements. However, this was the other team members first experience!
They could use the jet device to move but they werenât skilled in moving freely in a combat situation. Being unable to move freely in battle was a deadly penalty!
âContinuing to fight like this will be suicide!â
He confirmed that after 10 minutes of fighting. In the meantime, the Krakenâs health had only decreased by 15% at the most. On the other hand, the teamâs health had been cut down by 40~50%. They couldnât maintain their centre of balance and struggled to avoid the Krakenâs legs so the result was obvious.
âThere are two ways to deal with a high defense monster like the Kraken. The first way is to find a weakness or to pour out attacks that would overcome its defense.â
But even if he managed to find a weak point, they werenât in a situation to attack a small gap. The remaining way was to pour out attacks to overcome the defense. The first method was better but it wasnât easy with teammates unfamiliar with weightlessness.
âThe only way possible is to establish a terrain advantage. A place like the pipe where I lured the Squids to wipe them out with concentrated firepower. And there is an appropriate place here!â
Arkâs eyes looked towards the top of the Kraken! They were currently inside a hole in the surface of the asteroid.
âIf I trap it in this holeâŠ..â
âArk! Wake up! On the right!
The Nymphe vibrated and Rapidâs voice was heard. He flinched and turned to see a huge Kraken leg flying towards the ground. Ark lowered his upper body and glided along the ground. It was the method of applying Swamp Walking to the weightlessness!
Buwaaaaang!
The Krakenâs leg pa.s.sed over his head!
âAttack him to give me some time!â
Ark operated the jet device and crossed the s.p.a.ce. He reached the area where the Squidsâ corpses were floating and a blue light flashed from his hand as he started carving complex characters in the air.
It was the Ikram rune he learnt from the pyramid! A blurry shape that looked like the ghost of Anubis rose in the air as soon as the character was carved. Then it was then sucked into the body of a Squid that had been turned into rags. A red shape then burst out from the Squid! It was a h.e.l.lhound with the head of a squid and the body of a dog.
âImpossibleâŠ..â
A squid-headed dog. However there was no time to appreciate the new creature.
Kung! Kung! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Pepeng! Kung! Kung!
There was no time to rest as gunfire kept on going off. It was the sound of his teammates struggling one-sidedly against the Kraken.
âBite!â
Ark quickly pulled out grenades and handed them to the h.e.l.lhounds. Once again, the h.e.l.lhounds were creatures born anew from flesh that Ark killed. The h.e.l.lhound inherited a portion of the sacrificeâs stats and characteristics. For example, the fish head that could swim freely in water or the dogâs keen sense of smell. And the head right now was a s.p.a.ce squid!
âGo!â
Ark pulled the safety pins and shouted towards the Kraken. At that moment, 5 h.e.l.lhounds flew towards the Kraken like missiles. The head of the squid meant the h.e.l.lhounds had the Squidâs ability to quickly walk across s.p.a.ce. And the moment a h.e.l.lhound collided with the Kraken!
Pepeng!
The grenade the h.e.l.lhound was biting self-destructed! The explosion caused the Kraken to stumbled and step back. But that was just the start. The other h.e.l.lhounds heading towards the Kraken hit the same area.
Pepeng! Pepeng! Pepeng!
There were explosions one after another! There was a hollow in the Krakenâs armour from where 5 grenades had burst and its health had noticeably declined. It still had a lot of health but this was the first attack that dealt a lot of damage so it turned its body towards Ark in fury.
âNow! Everybody climb up the hole!â
âY-you?
âFollow me right now! Armour armament!â
The s.p.a.ce distorted and his battle suit appeared at Arkâs cry. The moment the battle suit wrapped around Arkâs body.
âArmed Stealth!â
A intense light burst out in the darkness! At the same time, the Kraken screamed and struggled. It was natural. The Kraken probably hadnât experienced light for a few hundred years so the light caused it intense pain! It was like sticking a needle in the eye. While the Kraken frantically swung its legs, Arkâs tem flew up the hole.
Kukung! Kuwaaaaaaaah!
When they had reached the middle part, there was a roar as the Kraken caught up. This part of the hole had a diameter of 10 metres so the Krakenâs appearance was like fear itself! It was like they were sandwiched between the Kraken and the rock wall as its tentacles got closer. No, the Krakenâs tentacles were heading towards Ark.
âHyper Booster!â
He waited for the right moment and used Hyper Booster! Arkâs body shot like a bullet out of the hole. His 10 teammates also gathered around the hole as they exited. And the Kraken was about to come out of the hole. Ark shouted as he flew towards his team.
âNow! Pour all your firepower towards that hole!â
This was Arkâs mission. It was an operation similar to luring the Squids into the pipe and killing them in droves! The Kraken was stuck in a narrow hole so it couldnât freely move its legs. In addition, his team members didnât need to worry about any leg damage and could focus on attacking.
âThatâs right! This is like when we trapped the Squids in the pipe!
âShoot! Smash it before it comes up!
Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Pepeng!
Various skills and bullets were poured out!
A roaring sound and flames relentlessly soared from the hole. The Kraken moved its body and tried to swing 2~3 tentacles but it couldnât exit the hole under the concentrated attacks. It was the same for the body.
âFire Eagle P-40!â
His shotgun Fire Eagle that he used after a long time!
Ark helped maintain the pressure on the Kraken with his shotgun as they pushed it down. In addition, there was the buff from Kayaâs battle suit!
-The gene activated Esper battle suit Optisian has been triggered.
<the>Attack and defense increased by 15%!</the>
<the>-70%âŠ..63%âŠ..54%âŠ..</the>
<the>The Krakenâs health quickly started going down under the teamâs violent onslaught. On the other hand, the Kraken was trapped in the hole and couldnât properly hit them.</the>
<the>âThatâs it! If it continues like this then it will be an easy win!â</the>
<the>When Ark was convinced of their victory.</the>
<the>Hwaaaaack!</the>
<the>A huge stream of liquid suddenly emerged from the hole. The ident.i.ty of the yellow liquid was the acid poison the Squidsâ squirted! But it was on a completely different scale when the Kraken used it. Several tons worth of yellow liquid shot out from the hole.</the>
<the>Chi chi chi chi!</the>
<the>When the liquid hit the team, smoke and a common message appeared.</the>
<the>-You have been attacked by a corrosive poison!</the>
<the><durability>Ark yelled in a desperate voice but it was already too late.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa! Kwa kw.a.n.g! Syu syu syu syu syu!</durability></the>
<the><durability>There was the sound of rocks being crushed and a huge shadow flew out of the hole. Ark looked up at the shadow with an upset expression. The Kraken was floating dozens of metres above with ten legs. The Kraken was less bulky than when they were fighting underground. Tons of liquid had been pumped out of the body so its speed increased as it shot out of the hole.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âD-dammit! This winning fightâŠâŠâ</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark frowned as he looked up at the Kraken. Now it had less than 20% health left. However the odds couldnât be guaranteed anymore once it left the hole. No, it was now unfavourable to Arkâs team.</durability></the>
<the><durability>They couldnât fight the Kraken properly in the underground s.p.a.ce but he was relaxed due to the Krakenâs s.p.a.ce constraints. But now those s.p.a.ce constraints had also disappeared.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken was now floating in s.p.a.ce. The Kraken could now fly through the universe freely! Of course, the jet device meant the team could move around but it was like a person on a hang glider fighting against an eagle.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âBut I have no choice but to try it!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark imagined the attacks and grabbed his lightsaber tightly. However the Kraken didnât move. It just floated in the air and looking in a different direction.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âWhat? That guy?</durability></the>
<the><durability>âWhere is it looking?</durability></the>
<the><durability>The nervous team muttered with confusion. Then Ark felt a sinister feeling as he followed the Krakenâs gaze.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âThe direction it is looking inâŠ..Silver Star! Oh my G.o.d, the Silver Star is in that direction!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>He recalled the information window for the mini-sized Kraken, the Squids.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Squids were monsters that devoured the ether fuel of a ship. If the Kraken had the same appet.i.te as a Squid then the reason it stopped attacking and looked in the direction of the Silver Star was because it sensed ether.</durability></the>
<the><durability>It had found more coveted prey than Arkâs team.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIf it moves to the Silver Star than this situation will become more complicated! The Silver Star has already suffered damage from the battle and the crash landing. In this state, if it is damaged even more than it might not recover. In the worst caseâŠ..no! Now, I have to end this here!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>âAttack! Donât let its mind go someplace else!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark shouted in an urgent voice.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken was the one who reacted to his voice first. It turned away from the Silver Star and its huge body fell towards the team like a thunderbolt. The team members raising their guns and swords screamed in unison.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âWah! I-it is falling!</durability></the>
<the><durability>-A-avoid it!</durability></the>
<the><durability>Kwa kw.a.n.g! Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!</durability></the>
<the><durability>It was followed by an explosion!</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken that was dozens of metres large hit the ground. And Ark and his team membersâŠâŠ</durability></the>
<the><durability>-I-I lived!</durability></the>
<the><durability>Slayer gulped and stuttered. Slayer wasnât the only one. Ark and his team members were all gathered around Slayer. They were able to survive the Krakenâs giant body thanks to Slayer and Sadainâs joint operation.</durability></the>
<the><durability>When the Kraken had fallen, Slayer had reflexively lifted his shield. However, the Kraken was a monster that weighted dozens of tons. Regardless of whether he was carrying a sword, his body would just be flattened like a mouse rolled over by a carriage. Slayer could withstand the tremendous weight due to the vertical spear under it. Just before the Kraken landed on the party, Sadain had placed his spear under the shield to create a type of pole.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The pole with Slayerâs shield formed a roof with a ââłâ s.p.a.ce underneath it. This allowed Arkâs team to withstand the Krakenâs weight. This was due to Slayer and Sadainâs experience. However their sighs of relief didnât last long.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Cracks started to spread. The shield and spear was in a âäžâ Thatâs what is looked like. Now the Kraken weighing dozens of tons had fallen on the âäžâ so cracks started to spread as the ground became unstable and started crumbling.</durability></the>
<the><durability>-Hik! The land is giving way!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âDammit! Avoid it! At this rate weâll fall back into the hole with the rocks!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âd.a.m.n! How can we avoid it when being crushed by the giant squid?</durability></the>
<the><durability>The team members had taken refuge in a small s.p.a.ce between the Kraken and the ground so they couldnât escape! The hole finally started to collapse around the edges.</durability></the>
<the><durability>A tremendous amount of gravel, dirt and rocks started pouring down! The team tried to avoid the dirt and rocks. In the end, the team members fell down the hole with the dirt and rocks.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ku ku ku ku! Kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku ku ku ku! Kwa kwa kwa kwa!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âNo! I canât fallâŠâŠâ</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark desperately used the jet device to avoid the rocks. The Krakenâs body stopped blocking the hole. Once Arkâs team members fell, the Kraken had no interest in them anymore and flew off. Needless to say, it was flying off in the direction of the Silver Star!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIf Iâm stuck in the hole then the Silver Star will be hit! I have to stop that guy!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>However it wasnât easy to avoid the dirt and rocks with just the jet device on his s.p.a.ce suit. No, the rocks. .h.i.t the jet device so it wouldnât move properly.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âThis is bad! If the jet device doesnât work properlyâŠâŠâ</durability></the>
<the><durability>An idea then popped into Arkâs head.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âYes, it is this! Come out, Super Board!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>The air board sprang out of his bag. Ark grabbed the air board with both hands as the house sized boulder fell towards him.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark concentrated his weight on one side as the air board rotated like a spin top and he moved to the side, avoiding the rock. He repeated that behaviour a few times until a large s.p.a.ce without any rocks or dirt stretched out in front of him.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The moment Ark concentrated all his weight on the front of the air board! The air board quickly shot out of the hole. He floated 10 metres in the air and looked down to see his teammates buried in dirt and rocks.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âHey, is everybody okay? Are you alive?â</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIt canât be helped. I have to block him alone.â</durability></the>
<the><durability>âWhat You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Are you abandoning us? Thereâs 10 more minutes until weâve spent an hour out here! Weâll get the s.p.a.ce disease! You need to rescue us first!</durability></the>
<the><durability>Slayer snapped after hearing Arkâs voice first. He really couldnât figure out the atmosphere.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âYou idiot! Havenât you grasped the situation yet? It is aiming for the Silver Star! If it reaches the Silver Star then everyone here will get s.p.a.ce sickness!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>âHik! That guy is heading towards the Silver Star?</durability></the>
<the><durability>âI know the situation. Weâll take care of ourselves so you go head and block it. We will escape from here as quickly as possible and join you.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Those were Rapidâs words. However Ark was already following behind the Kraken. Currently both of the Silver Starâs turrets were shattered. It couldnât even fly let alone activate the shield. If the Kraken ate its energy then the Silver Star would just be a pile of junk. It would end up just like the abandoned airships.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âDonât make me laugh! I managed to survive Valencia and the Red Slaughtererâs surprise attacks while protecting the Silver Star! It canât be destroyed by this squid! I will use whatever method it takes to protect it!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark grinded his teeth and made the air board accelerate. He flew at full speed and saw the Silver Star on the horizon after 1 minute. And the huge form of the Kraken was approaching the Silver Star.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âHyung-nim! It is a monster! A monster is heading towards the Silver Star!</durability></the>
<the><durability>At the same time, Milanâs scream came through the Nymphe.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark looked at the upcoming Kraken and grabbed his lightsaber.</durability></the>
<the><durability>ââŠâŠI am behind it! Khafra Fencing 3rd style, Galaxy Sword!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Dozens of lightsabers flew out like a fan! The blue swords flew around the Krakenâs body and caused a chain explosion. The Krakenâs eyes moved from the Silver Star towards Ark. The ten tentacles flew towards him!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIâm the only one who can stop him now! If I donât stop him then it will be the end for the Silver Star! I have to stop it! Pay attention! Pay attention! Pay attention! Concentrate Ark!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark lay face down on the air board. There was no gravity or air resistance against his body so the air board accelerated further. The air board when he was in this position was surprisingly stable. There was no gravity so the air board could turn over 180 degrees..</durability></the>
<the><durability>Left or right, turn! Up and down, turn! Ark flew like a swallow between the tentacles. And a flash of blue light followed his trajectory!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âFighting alone against that monsterâŠ..</durability></the>
<the><durability>Milan and Hegel spoke over the Nymphe. However Ark was the one most surprised. The Kraken was a t.i.tan cla.s.s monster. It meant dozens of people and heavy weapons like tanks would need to be mobilized to fight it. Yet Ark alone was enough to push such a monster.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âI shouldâve fought on my air board.â</durability></the>
<the><durability>The reason he could do this was due to the air board. So far Ark hadnât thought about using the air board in the universe. But when he actually tried it, the air board seemed to be an item made for the universe as its performance doubled.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Its ability wasnât that big on a planet with gravity but this was outer s.p.a.ce where there was no guarantee and it could fly freely like a s.p.a.ceship. Of course, the p.r.o.ne position was embarra.s.sing and it was difficult to steer but if he mastered it then it would truly be freedom! It gave him the strength for a fight against the flying Kraken. His concentration that had increased to its limit caused a miracle like battle scene.</durability></the>
<the><durability>HoweverâŠ..</durability></the>
<the><durability>âThis isnât enough to push it!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>There was a crucial reason why Ark could attack the Kraken so one-sidedly! It was because the Kraken was ignoring Arkâs attacks. Thatâs right. Right now the Kraken wasnât fighting Ark.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken was just flying towards its more coveted prey, the Silver Star. The tentacles swinging towards Ark was just like swatting an annoying mosquito. No, Arkâs presence was indeed like a mosquito for the Kraken.</durability></the>
<the><durability>It was an issue of firepower rather than skills. Ark, Slayer, Leon, Sadain etc., the attacks from the 10 people had been enough to slowly reduce the Krakenâs health. In other word, Ark could only cause 1/10th of the damage and his continuous attacks for 1 minute didnât even shave away 5% of its health. It was like using a short dagger to stab an elephant. Such attacks were impossible to stop the elephantâs rush.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken eventually hovered over the Silver Star. The tentacles wrapped around the Silver Star. And a blue stream started flowing from the Silver Star towards its mouth.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âHyung-nim, the Silver Starâs energy is being reduced at a fast rate!</durability></the>
<the><durability>Hegelâs scream was heard!</durability></the>
<the><durability>At the same time, the sight of the Krakenâs health recovering caught Arkâs eye. The Kraken was absorbing energy from the Silver Star and regaining its health.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âEat this! Sonic Sword! Galaxy Sword! Shield Emission!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>The distressed Ark relentlessly threw attacks at the Kraken. But Arkâs attacks alone werenât able to keep up with the Krakenâs recovery rate. Anyone who played a game wouldâve experienced this at least once. The desperation of trying to deal damage faster than the boss monster can recover.</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark felt like that right now. His Force skills were unable to keep up with the Krakenâs recovery rate. If this continued then it would be restored to 100% perfect health. Then it would be impossible to stop! Arkâs Silver Star would soon be shattered.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âNo! It canât be! The Silver Star is the one thing I canât lose! No, we wonât be able to escape from the asteroid even if the energy is the only thing absorbed! I have to prevent it from absorbing the energy! But attacking it from the outside isnât keeping up with its recovery rate. ThenâŠ..â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark bared his teeth and turned his head. Arkâs gaze had turned towards its mouth where it was sucking the energy!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIâll shred your stomach!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>There was no reason to think about it. Ark rushed through the air on his air board the moment he made a decision. And he rushed into the stream of energy and surfed it down into the Kraken! He entered its mouth.</durability></the>
<the><durability>The Kraken was confused as he entered its mouth. But it quickly noticed the situation and acid started rising in its throat. The acidic solution rushed out of the throat like a wave!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âIt is already too late! Armed Binding Sword!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Dozens of lights emerged from the battle suit! The lights ejected embedded into the ceiling of the mouth. Ark pulled it with his left arm and clung to the ceiling. The acid solution flooded out under his foot. Ark quickly glanced around while moving off the ceiling.</durability></the>
<the><durability>âI entered! The exterior has a hard epidermis so attacking inside the stomach will naturally deal more damage. But the amount of time I can spent in the stomach is limited due to the acid solution. If Iâm hit by the acid then only my bones would be left. So I need to find another place to deal a fatal blow! For exampleâŠ..there!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Arkâs gaze turned towards one area. A hole on the other that was approximately 1 metres in size and a blue colour!</durability></the>
<the><durability>âThatâs obviously the heart! Yes, the Kraken is still a creature no matter how large it is. I just need to smash the heart!â</durability></the>
<the><durability>Ark was about to wield his sword when he suddenly burst out screaming. The Kraken was a t.i.tan cla.s.s monster so it wasnât that easy. The moment he tried to wield his sword in the oesophagus? The gastric tract? The muscles Ark was clinging to suddenly shrank and began to press against Ark. The pressure was so strong he could barely move one finger! At the same time, a yellow liquid started flowing from the lining!</durability></the>
<the><durability>-You have been attacked by a corrosive poison!</durability></the>
<the><durability><durability>-You have been attacked by a corrosive poison!</durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>âOh my G.o.d This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it is trying to digest me!â</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>The red light continuously flashed without giving him time to think. The durability of his equipment would fly away as well as âdeath + Silver Star destruction.â</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>He would resurrect at the Fairy naked. But he couldnât even move a finger let alone swing his sword thanks to the Krakenâs sphincter! He would become food in the stomach.</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>âNo! I canât because the squidâs poo! SomethingâŠâŠâ</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>Then something popped into Arkâs head. Atmosphere would be like poison to the Squids so they wouldnât be found on any planets. His Clairvoyance ability had identified the weakness of the Squids. The Kraken was a Squid that evolved so it should still have the same weaknesses. ThenâŠ..</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>âJet device, maximum output! Use up the remaining oxygen!â</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>At the same time, a white gas emerged from the bottom of his s.p.a.ce suit. The fuel used for the jet device was liquid oxygen. It used oxygen to get momentum. In other words, the s.p.a.cesuit was now spurting oxygen. And oxygen was poison to a s.p.a.ce monster like the Kraken!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>The Kraken shrieked and started struggling. The pressure of the sphincter loosened and Ark was tossed side to side.</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>Flames spurted from the heels of his battle suit. He shot forward using Hyper Booster and quickly started moving towards the heart. And the moment he arrived in front of the heart!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>His fists moved like a quick fire gun! Blue liquid poured from the heart with every hollow his fist caused. And with his fist hit it for the final time, the Krakenâs heart burst like a balloon. The giant squid wound around the Silver Star exploded and left Ark in the centre!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>-Your level has risen!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>-Your level has risen!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>-Your level has risenâŠ..</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>The message flashed like crazy in front of him. The message appeared 9 times! It was increased by the maximum number of levels. The party members were 2 kilometres away and buried so Ark alone gobbled up the experience from a t.i.tan cla.s.s monster.</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>That wasnât all. It was a law that compensation would always follow hardship. Several items were scattered where the Krakenâs body was.</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>Pants made from a light material that s.p.a.ce pioneers used a long time ago. It seems to be the leather of a monster since scales are attached to it.</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>However, it is impossible to know what monster the leather came from. Outstanding pioneers can sense the unusual power in these pants but there is no clear understanding of it. Item a.n.a.lysis will need to be used to determine what power is hidden in this equipment. It is best to experience everything!</durability></durability></durability></the>
<the><durability><durability><durability>â» Item effect is still undisclosed.</durability></durability></durability></the>
