Chapter 389: Chapter 389
The Kraken's massive tentacles lashed out relentlessly, its regeneration abilities making it seem nearly indestructible as long as it remained in contact with the seawater.
"This thing just keeps coming!" Ayame shouted as she dodged yet another strike, her Tag Authority barely able to buy her a few moments of respite against the beast's massive appendages.
JordanPlayz, gripping his Trident of Poseidon's Wrath tightly, nodded grimly. "It's not just tough-it's healing faster than we can hurt it. As long as it's in the water, we're fighting a losing battle."
ProGamerXD continued to fire the ship's cannons, each blast sending shockwaves through the air as they struck the Kraken. But even with their combined efforts, the creature's wounds closed almost instantly, its regeneration fueled by the sea itself.
"At this rate, we'll be stuck here forever!" Bianca called out, her Exchange Authority flashing as she teleported across the deck, avoiding another crushing blow from a tentacle.
The Kraken let out a deafening roar, and the sea responded in kind. Massive waves crashed against the battleship, and the air was filled with the sound of the beast's thrashing as it continued its relentless assault.
Kenshi, his Sword of Time glowing with energy, glanced at JordanPlayz. "We need to get it out of the water," he said, his voice calm despite the chaos. "Its regeneration is tied to the sea. Without it, it's vulnerable."
JordanPlayz met Kenshi's gaze and grinned. "Got it. I'll get it airborne, but you better be ready to slice this thing to pieces."
JordanPlayz raised his trident high, summoning the power of the ocean itself.
With a roar of effort, he conjured a massive vortex beneath the Kraken, pulling it upward and out of the water.
The beast's tentacles flailed wildly as it was lifted into the air, its connection to the sea suddenly severed.
The moment the Kraken was airborne, Kenshi acted.
His eyes flashed as he activated his Cut Authority, and with a single swift motion, he leapt into the air, his sword glowing with lethal energy.
"Wind-Style: Sky Cutter!" Kenshi shouted, performing a rapid series of slashes that diced the Kraken's massive body into pieces.
Chunks of flesh and tentacles were sent flying in all directions, but even in the air, the Kraken began to regenerate-though not nearly as quickly as it had in the water.
"Bianca, now!" Kenshi called out, landing back on the deck.
As the last remnants of the Kraken's body dissolved into the ocean, Ayame and her team finally allowed themselves a moment of victory. The threat was gone, and the sea was calm once again.
"Alright, let's keep moving," Ayame said after a brief pause. "We still need to make it to the supercontinent."
With the battle behind them, Ayame and her team resumed their journey.
This time, the waters were eerily still. No more monsters emerged from the depths, and the corrupted influence of the Outer Gods seemed to have faded from the area.
It was as if the Kraken had been the final guardian standing between them and their escape. The ship sailed smoothly through the sea, the horizon stretching out before them as they continued their journey westward toward the supercontinent.
"Let's hope that was the last of it," ProGamerXD muttered, his hands steady on the ship's
wheel.
"We've survived this much," Ayame said confidently, "We can handle whatever comes next."
With that, Ayame and her team set their course for the supercontinent, the vast land that awaited them after the horrors of the Vacation Paradise Island.
The sea voyage was uneventful for the first time since their adventure began.
They had left the periphery of the island and, as expected, no further monsters emerged from
the depths.
The calm waters stretched endlessly before them, a quiet contrast to the dangers they had
faced.
For half a day, the ship glided smoothly across the ocean. ProGamerXD and JordanPlayz remained vigilant, maintaining control of the vessel as it sliced through the water.
Ayame took a moment to breathe, the team resting after their relentless battles.
The horizon slowly shifted, and the silhouette of the supercontinent came into view, marking their return to a familiar place after what felt like a lifetime of chaos.
"We're almost there," Kayden said, standing beside Ayame as the supercontinent's border grew closer.
