[Zero: Are you okay?]
After they got in a safe distance, Alex put down Kris and asked her.
Kris nodded and just gave an 'OK' sign with her fingers.
After confirming her condition, Alex turned back his attention to the Kraken.
With a deep frown between his eyebrows, Alex thought, 'Hais, I'm really starting to get irritated now. Why did I made this sh*t longer.'
Sighing, Alex looked at the knife on his hand and saw that it seems like it's about to break.
'Endure for a bit more, stay with me just until we defeat that stupid Kraken.'
Alex said in his head while touching the blade of the knife.
Bzzt!
Suddenly, the knife let out a light vibration as if to respond to Alex's thoughts.
In surprise, Alex's eyes widened as he looked at the knife incredulously.
'This... did the knife just responded to my thoughts?!'
Beside him, Kris saw Alex looking at the knife with a shocked face and became curious.
[Kris: Alex, why are you staring at your knife like that?]
Seeing Kris' message, Alex paused before shaking his head.
[Zero: It's nothing, I just thought about something.]
Alex decided to not tell the truth.
It's not that he wants to keep a secret or whatever.
It's just that, even Alex wasn't sure if the movements from the knife were real or not.
It's fine if it's real, maybe Kris can even provide him an explanation about it if she knows something.
But if not...
Alex can only imagine Kris looking at him like he's crazy.
Anyway, Alex decided to keep this little thing to himself for now until he confirms it.
For now, his main concern should be that Kraken who's been going in circles.
Looking at it, Alex narrowed his eyes.
So, while fighting against the water current, Alex tried to avoid the poisonous bubbles.
But in the end, there was too much for Alex to avoid while under the strong pressure.
Pop!
A bubble managed to hit him and when it did, the bubble popped and covered Alex with a viscous purple liquid.
Not gonna lie, it looks disgusting.
[Hint: You have been hit by the Kraken's [Poison Bubble], you've been inflicted with poison status.]
[Hint: Your health will decrease by 100 points every second for the next 60 seconds.]
Seeing the system notification that appeared in front of him, Alex's face turned ugly.
'Damn it!'
With his health decreasing by 100 every second, if he can't get rid of his poisoned status, he will lose 6,000 HP by the time the poison stops.
Currently, Alex has 36,000 HP, that means if he gets hit by this kind of poison again and again, in just 6 minutes, he will run out of HP!
Because of that, Alex became more determined.
'I got to end this fast!'
Using all the power he could muster, Alex kicked his feet off the water and launched himself towards the Kraken once again!
Boom!
The force he let out caused the water around to explode and the next moment, Alex is already beside the Kraken.
Panic flashed through the Kraken's eyes.
From watching Alex's actions earlier, it knows that Alex is very strong.
Its instinct is even telling it that the moment Alex gets close to it, it will die.
And now, the thing that it wanted to avoid happening, Alex getting closer, just became a reality!
The moment Alex appeared beside the Kraken, he didn't hesitate and swung his knife.
"[Energy Slash]!"
A bright light flashed by, it was like the sun that covered everything with its light.
Its seems like the whole world turned white for a moment.
Along with it, a low roaring sound also echoed in the secret realm.
"ROOAARR...."
It was the dying roar of a fierce beast in this ocean.
Beside that, the sound of metal shattering also sounded.
Shatter!
