Chapter 77: I Should Consider A Helmet

Perseus POV

The kraken then use its mana to summon several lightning bolts down and I had to use magic to raise my speed and run around as each lightning bolt strikes its own tentacles and scorch it.

I know that you're wondering why I haven't used my powers that I got from my previous life, right? Simply because this guy, I mean girl, is too large and I simply haven't reached my potential of apocalypse like I was back then yet, but I'm definitely better in this life when I was around this age then.

The thorny wines are hurting it greatly as it wriggle around, so now its Ruka's job to waste its mana while Leilah hold her down. They both can just end the kraken, but I need a lot of hits and the killing shot for my boost to the 4 star level. Ruka then use her powers to gather petals and turn it into this giant light construct of this crescent moon shaped blade and cut off its tentacles one by one.

The kraken, like an octopus can heal its limbs, but not instantly without magic and so its now being distracted by continuously healing itself. I jumped up to its head and use the blue rose powers to form a sword and clad it with fire magic.

My other hand, I summoned giant fireballs and shoot it towards its eye with the occasional green light signal to the navy to shoot their spells, but they're getting cocky and got their ships closer and closer, one got so close that the kraken saw it and once it regenerate its limb fully, brought it down and broke it into a million pieces.

Dumbasses, your job were to help Ruka and waste its mana.

They can't just shoot without my signal since their attacks will not get past its barriers, so they have to wait for my signal, I shoot fireballs from one direction to distract it and the other is for the navy to occasionally shoot. But it's hard, some of my spells were so weak that the kraken didn't bother to put one up and take the hit and just focus on healing itself.

It then used magic to cause the water to more unstable than ever and the storm now expanded past where it was before and lightning bolts start hitting the navy ships.

I'm standing on top of its head shaking and I already start feeling queasy. I was about to slip off by I stabbed the sword onto the flesh of the kraken and slid down, even though the fire seared its skin and made it heal slower, but not much.

I shoot out so many spells and signals that I'm not having mana at a certain level that's enough for just the killing shot and I saved some of it for the green light signal. I now use the powers of the rose, I can tell that it has about only 50% of its mana left after the past half hour on constant attacks.

I mix the powers of the roses and created giant black and blue javelins in the sky and strike it from every direction. The kraken then quickly submerged under water as the attacks went past through the barriers and almost killed it. I hit vital organs and everything, but it healed quickly, I need it on the brink of death.

I was dragged along with the kraken, it seems that it got another rush of adrenaline and broke off its restraints completely . I didn't even have time to use magic and create a thin layer armor of air to breathe. Waters rushed up my nose, and clogged me up from the inside.

Leilah then used the vines to lift it up out of water where I can breathe again. I had to spend a few minutes just holding on and cough as it tried to free itself and kill everything in its surrounding.

"Just stop fighting and make this easy, I want this to be as painless as possible."

It now tried to slap me away from its head, so I jumped and still hang on by stabbing its eye and slid down, before it slapped me away again, I used the power of the rose and let it carry me in the air away from the area of contact.

Its tentacles is continuing to be cut in halves by Ruka and its mana is being drained quickly as we all give it an unstoppable barrage. Just when I thought it was going good, it swatted me away and I crashed through one of the navy ships that are so far away. I swam up and got onto a floating piece that came from the skip and inspected myself, the jacket and suit that Leilah gave seems to take my hits for me and I only suffered some blunt trauma.

A navy guy pulled me out of the water and healed me which I thanked them and flew back onto the scene. It hurt just getting pulled into safety. I should start wearing a helmet, cuz I think that's where the healer said I suffered the most damage.

*****

The kraken is now almost out of mana, it's now on the brink of death and just to make sure, the navy are exhausting their last mana to deplete its last remaining mana while I charge up for the last blow.

I mix the power of the roses and my magic into a giant lance and I aimed it at the kraken's head.

"Ma'am, I'm truly sorry for all your loss and I wish that this could have been different. Your mate and your children will wait for you on the other side and I will make sure to get revenge for you and your family in your place."

It stopped resisting and just waited for its death after that. I do feel bad for this kraken, it was dying and has nothing else to live for, a mother wanted justice for her murdered children which she will not live long enough to see.

I then shot the lance and it went through the kraken's head right between its eye, killing it instantly as it could do nothing
