483 – Brain Rotation

483 – Brain Rotation

The three legs of the Kraken, which had emerged from the water, trembled under the bright light of the Wooden Caliber.

It seemed that it was indeed feeling fear from Gaeul’s Wooden Caliber.

“Gaeul, you have to attack with the Wooden Caliber!”

“Hek…!”

Gaeul ran to the edge of the deck and raised her arm holding the Wooden Caliber high.

Then she threw the Wooden Caliber towards the Kraken’s swaying legs.

“Attack!”

The Wooden Caliber, thrown with her own battle cry, didn’t fly far and fell into the sea below.

I hung onto the deck railing with Gaeul and looked down at the Wooden Caliber sinking into the water.

“Oh dear.”

“Juin?”

Gaeul pointed at the sinking Wooden Caliber and looked at me.

The bubbles rising from where the Wooden Caliber sank looked just like a person who had fallen into the water.

“Gaeul, can you bring it back with a portal?”

“………!”

Woong-!

At the same time as my question, Gaeul’s portal opened above.

Along with a large amount of seawater, Gaeul’s Wooden Caliber fell.

“Let’s ask Saebyeok to throw this.”

“Arato!”

Thanks to the divine power of the Wooden Caliber?

The Kraken could do nothing but squirm its legs.

Thanks to the support from Sophia and Marin, the Kraken couldn’t escape either.

As a result, we were able to leisurely hand the Wooden Caliber to Saebyeok.

“Saebyeok, do you want to throw this?”

“Yes.”

Saebyeok took a throwing stance and hurled the Wooden Caliber at the Kraken’s legs.

Puh-ung-!

With a loud crashing sound, a hole the size of the Wooden Caliber was pierced into the thick leg of the Kraken.

“Oh…”

It seems to be strong, but it doesn’t deal damage beyond the area of effect.

I wish it had shot flames like last time.

Just as I turned to Gaeul with anticipation, Levinas shouted at us.

“Wanga! It’s a finishing move!”

“Finishing move?”

“Woong!”

Levinas said as he bound the Kraken’s leg with a massive vine.

At that moment, Saebyeok handed me the Wooden Caliber.

“Let’s do the finishing move.”

“Uh, okay…”

Something in Saebyeok’s eyes sparkled.

Is Saebyeok also looking forward to the finishing move?

I strung the Wooden Caliber to my bow as we had practiced and shot it into the sky.

Thump-

The Wooden Caliber, not flying too high, began to grow larger in midair.

Watching this, Bom poured Black Mana towards the Wooden Caliber.

“Yahp!”

“Attack!”

Gaeul, like Bom, reached out her hand towards the Wooden Caliber.

Then the Wooden Caliber grew even larger and began to emit white flames.

“Go! Amazing Ultra Levinas Pirate Crew Slash!”

“Huh.”

It seems like the name of the finishing move has changed.

Just as I tilted my head in confusion, Saebyeok swung the Wooden Caliber towards the Kraken’s leg, which was being pulled by the vine.

Whoosh-

With a single strike, the Kraken’s leg was severed.

Confirming that it was effective, Saebyeok climbed the vine and cut off all the nearby Kraken’s legs.

“Wow, wow…”

“………”

I watched Saebyeok, who looked like a hero.

The adventurer wielding the great sword also gaped in awe at the sight.

While we were quietly admiring Saebyeok’s might, Marin, who was controlling the sea, shouted to us.

“I’ll raise all the legs, Sophia!”

With Marin’s shout, all of the Kraken’s legs were lifted.

It seemed that Sophia and Marin were controlling the Kraken’s legs.

“Hey, sword! Can I borrow your sword for a moment?”

The man wielding the great sword suddenly asked Saebyeok for the Wooden Caliber.

Saebyeok hurriedly threw the Wooden Caliber to him, and the adventurer caught it in midair and swung it towards the legs.

Whoosh-! Hooong-!

Two of the Kraken’s legs were chopped off in chunks.

With his mouth agape, he returned the Wooden Caliber to Saebyeok.

“Yes, here comes the leg!”

“Uh, okay!”

The magician and the archer combined their powers to stop one of the falling legs.

We also helped them by blocking and cutting the Kraken’s legs.

As all the legs were severed, the Kraken’s main body, its head, emerged above the water.

Its head trembled as if it had been forced up.

“Levinas Pirate Crew, fire at will!”

“All-out fire?”

“Yes! All-out fire!”

With Saebyeok’s shout, we unleashed all our skills upon the Kraken’s head.

The adventurers’ great swords, magic, and arrows.

Including our Wooden Caliber and the enlarged arrows.

“Kieeeek!”

As we unleashed all our attacks, the Kraken thrashed about before slumping down.

“Ha, ha…”

The breaths of many people mixed together.

In the midst of this, Levinas raised his hand high.

“Igyotta!”

“Igyuk!”

The Kraken, which we thought we could never defeat.

We had vanquished it.

**

“Uh…?”

Hanyeoreum, who had informed the hotel about the pirate ship’s defeat, returned to the ship where the children were.

When she saw the ship on the horizon, her heart began to pound.

‘Squid?’

A gigantic monster clinging to the side of the ship.

Hanyeoreum’s heart sank at the sight of the giant squid.

What kind of monster is that?

Isn’t the Kraken originally an octopus?

As she anxiously observed, Hanyeoreum confirmed that the giant squid was not moving.

‘Did they catch it?’

She hoped nothing had happened to her companions.

Hanyeoreum nervously approached the ship.

“Over there, the King of Darkness went Kuaang! and then Wanga went Pishung Kwang!”

“Gaeul too.”

“Yes! Gaeul the puppy and kind Bom also did this and yapped! and defeated it!”

The cheerful voices of the children could be heard from the ship.

Hanyeoreum felt a sense of relief and jumped onto the deck.

“Kids, what is that?”

The giant squid’s head was so large that she had to look up, even from the high ship.

It was stuck to the ship with Levinas’s vines and Marin’s magic.

“The Levinas Pirate Crew caught it! That was the hidden final boss of the pirate crew!”

“R-really?”

How on earth did they catch that giant thing?

Hanyeoreum scratched her cheek and looked at the other adventurers who had boarded the ship.

“Who are you…?”

“…I’m sorry.”

An adventurer wielding a great sword immediately began to apologize.

Hanyeoreum was bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

“The guild situation isn’t good, and I acted selfishly. If it weren’t for the people on the ship, we would have been wiped out here.”

“Um… yes…”

What on earth is he apologizing for?

Hanyeoreum tilted her head in confusion.

“I became anxious thinking that if we cleared this mission with the children of Dawn, we might be looked down upon.”

“I-I see?”

“Yes. I realized while watching the children of Dawn, no, the guild members fight. My actions were truly foolish…”

“Uh, hmm.”

I don’t understand what he’s saying.

Hanyeoreum simply nodded as if she understood.

“I will calm my mind and think of starting over from the beginning.”

“Yes. A calm mind is important.”

That’s something I’ve experienced too.

It was the only thing Hanyeoreum could understand.

“I won’t forget your kindness. We may not be able to repay it right away at our level.”

“Haha…”

It’s not bad to have a favor owed to the local adventurers.

It seems our kids have accomplished something again.

Hanyeoreum smiled awkwardly.

**

We moved the pirate ship to the harbor.

Not knowing how to steer the ship, we rode the waves that Marin created.

The pirate ship that had troubled the local residents appeared at the harbor, but thanks to Hanyeoreum’s prior warning, there were no major issues.

“What is that?”

“The squid is as big as a building!”

“Wow, I heard about it from Dawn, but seeing it like this is really impressive!”

The local residents came out to see the Kraken, and we disembarked from the ship to sort out the situation.

The first issue was the valuable items stolen by the pirates.

“How do we return the valuables?”

“Um… we should count them all one by one and then distribute them according to the damage records.”

“I see.”

It was a matter of distributing expensive valuables.

We hoped nothing would go wrong as we examined the items that came out of the pirate ship.

“They brought out all the items over there…”

The magician, who introduced himself as a connoisseur, pointed to the items that had come out of the pirate ship.

Those were the spoils we had gained from the defeat, and unlike the valuables, most of them belonged to us.

‘That one…’

Among the spoils, the most striking was an emerald gem.

I naturally picked up the gem.

“What is this?”

I brought the gem to Hanyeoreum, who had appraisal abilities.

She examined the gem from various angles and exclaimed, “Oh!”

“This is an item that speeds up brain function!”

“Brain function?”

“Yes. It’s not a permanent item, but a temporary one.”

If it’s an item that temporarily speeds up brain function, could it help in emergencies in the dungeon?

As I was examining the emerald gem, a slightly fierce-looking Sophia approached us.

“Oh, this is what allowed the pirate guys to resist the Kraken’s control.”

“Oh…”

Was it thanks to this emerald gem item?

While I was watching the gem with curiosity, Gaeul came over and licked the gem.

“Shatya…”

Gaeul stopped mid-sentence, startled.

At the same time, the magic stone that emanated from the gem seeped into Gaeul’s body.

“Juin, this is Shatang Anya.”

“Yes. It’s not candy.”

“Gaeul has Shatang, should I eat it?”

“Uh… okay…?”

Something seems to have improved Gaeul’s vocabulary.

Noticing the awkwardness, Sophia and Hanyeoreum exchanged glances.

“Gaeul has Coco Shatang. Yum yum, I want to drink.”

It seems that the brain function ability of the emerald has taken root in Gaeul.

I was a bit surprised, but since it’s temporary…

I decided to just watch for now.
