Chapter 84: Flag-like Remark
UOOH?!
I tried to punch the kraken, and yet, my body slipped to the side.
It seemed my punch missed since the krakens body was too slimy.
And since we were right under the water, I couldn't make the full use of my strength.
Even if I managed to punch it, it wouldn't be that effective seeing that the kraken was over one hundred meters long.
Oh, right. Maybe using fire magic from point-blank range will work.
Thus, I gave up on attacking it with brute strength.
I cupped my hands together, thrust it forward, and shot a fireball toward the kraken from point-blank range. [TL: Kamehameha reference]
The next moment
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
What in the world was that explosion?!
I received an extremely powerful impact and was thrown very far away.
~?!
The kraken was acting strange. It was starting to swim wildly in all directions, scattering countless bubbles which exploded in the sea.
One part of its body was burned by my flames.
After all, could a normal flame still burn brightly even in the sea?!
However, I soon lost sight of its figure since it escaped in a hurry toward the bottom of the sea.
Well, I guess driving it away is good enough for now.
The vortex gradually disappeared, and I swam back to the ship.
The ship was still shaking, but it was safe for now.
I-IT'S BACK?!
THE KRAKEN?!
Seeing my figure back on the deck, the pirates screamed while clinging to the ship like there was no tomorrow.
By the way, I was once again in my birthday suit since my clothes were shredded to pieces back in the sea.
No way did you beat the kraken in the sea?
W-Woow
No, no, no, I didn't beat it.
I only managed to drive it away.
Y-YOU B*STARD WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME BY SPIKING THE TEA?!
Wait a minute, did she forget about the pirates and jump to conclusions?!
Y-you're mis-mistaken!
Mistaken about what?! You changed your clothes!
T-that's why I say that you're mistaken!
In the first place, what was the relationship between me changing my clothes and her sleeping?
I'm not the one who drugged you! Look, it was the tea! The drug was in the tea!
Tea Ah.
Yup, she finally remembered what happened.
You're right I drank the tea that was spiked by the pirate who was masquerading as the vice-captain
I see, the pirate wearing sailor attire was the one who spiked the tea, huh.
It seemed he did so to make us completely powerless.
The captains overconfidence ended up backfiring, allowing the pirates to hijack this ship.
Well, I guess that was natural since no one expected that one of the pirates would masquerade himself as the crew.
W-WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE PIRATES?!
Thus, I explained the events that happened after she fainted.
After all, the kraken was a much bigger problem than those pirates.
A kraken, huh So many things happened while I was asleep
The female Holy Knight then looked at me as if she wanted to say something.
I-is something the matter?
No, I just feel that youfor some reasonalways get dragged into all kinds of problems.
Please stop treating me like some sort of jinx.
I tried to refute, but I noticed that jinxes wouldn't even work against undead.
Moreover, I kept having all kinds of strange encounters after my awakening.
The fight against the Thunder Dragon Emperor, being targeted by the Empire
Although the female Holy Knight had no idea about this, I did get ambushed by adventurers on the way toward the port city.
W-Well, there should be no problem after this
Despite being undead, I prayed to God that we would arrive safely in the Holy Country.
