Chapter 832: Blasting the Coral Palace (II.)
At least half of the Monster Island Pirate Regiment's reputation was created by Kraken, even if the pirates lost all their territory, none of the demon generals would die, and as long as Kraken was alive, the war would continue, and people had to believe that this legendary banshee did have the strength to turn the tide of war on her own.

As early as the day of the White Gulls Harbor fleet's total monster island, Roland, Bloom, Lyudmila, Nikita, Veronica, and Vigraf infiltrated the Coral Palace under the guidance of Helena, and eliminated many Kraken's accomplices along the way, including Cassandra the "Kraken's Fang" and Darkowar Dakoval, hoping to find Kraken inside the underwater palace and kill him. However, something happened on the way, and after Roland killed the "Blood Mask" Oleg, he gained the divinity of fate, and left the team in the name of the goddess Sindra to go to the astral plane to carry out advanced missions, while the rest of his companions continued to explore the Sancoral Palace.
After two days of adventure, many traps and ambushes, the group finally entered the heart of the Coral Palace, the "Furmore Cathedral", and met Kraken himself. However, the expected decisive battle did not break out, and what appeared in front of everyone was a strange scene.
At Fermore Cathedral, the crowd was surprised to find that the Kraken was like an insect sealed in amber, with a living appearance but no soul, and no attack from the outside world could destroy the mysterious barrier that shrouded her, let alone harm her unconscious body.
At first, the crowd suspected that this was a trap, and that the Kraken, who was kneeling in the confessional room of the church, was just a magically shaped apparition, and that his real body was hidden in the shadows. At this moment, sisters Lyubov and Viktoria hurried to help. The Lord's Lady was well-informed, and after a little observation, she confirmed that the Kraken in the church was indeed herself, but her soul and body were separated from the astral plane, and before leaving the Sancoral Palace, she cast the 8-ring spell "Eternal Stasis" to seal her physical body.
Creatures sealed in "eternal stillness" will lose their vitality, as if time has stopped flowing in their bodies, and their physiology will be fixed. The recipient does not age, nor does it have any power to harm her, whether it be physical attacks, magic, or supernatural powers. This state will continue forever until the "eternal stagnation" is lifted. A successful "Removal of Magic" or the 8-Ring "Unwinding Technique" can dispel the "Eternal Stasis" and break the Time Seal, after which everyone can attack the Kraken normally, but Lyubov does not think it is a good idea to remove the "Eternal Stasis".
Kraken's soul is still active in the astral boundary, and if the physical confinement is lifted, her soul will sense it at the first time, and she can return to the Coral Palace with just one thought, and the spirit and body will unite to restore her mobility. At that time, everyone will face a legendary banshee in her heyday, not to mention that she may not be able to defeat her, at least if Kraken wants to leave, no one here will stop her, including Lyubov.
In addition to this, Lyubov has another concern. When Roland left the Coral Palace, he had said that he had gone to the Astral Plane to carry out the mission given by the Goddess of Fate, and the goal of his mission was to hunt down the Astral Bodies of Kraken. Now no one knows what Roland's situation is, if he doesn't communicate with him and lure the Kraken back to the Coral Palace, won't Roland's astral journey be in vain?
Based on the above two concerns, Lyubov proposed a more reasonable response. The first thing is to try to get in touch with Roland and tell him about the state of Kraken's physical body; The second is to seize the time to prepare for battle, in case Kraken suddenly returns to the Coral Palace, the chances of winning are better if you are fully prepared in advance.
Everyone listened to Lyubov's suggestion, contacted Roland to do it, and constantly sent him "text messages" to eliminate the error of interdimensional communication, and the news would always reach him; As for dealing with the Kraken, it will take a little more thought. To deal with this kind of legendary banshee, there is no point in summoning thousands of troops, either inviting other legendary masters to come to help, or you have to use some unconventional means. Old man Sukhoi offered a suggestion: mobilize a large amount of alchemical gunpowder, fill the entire Fermore Cathedral, and then set up a magic alarm, if the Kraken returned to the Coral Palace, the magic alarm would be triggered at the first time, and then activate the gunpowder detonator, and the entire Coral Palace and the Kraken would be blown up into the sky in an instant.
How much alchemy gunpowder does it take to kill a legendary banshee? There is no clear concept of this problem, and naturally the more the better.
The alchemists who had been kidnapped by the pirates had been rescued, and under the leadership of Sukhoi and Morozov, the two organ masters, Sukhoi and Morozov, had moved out the stockpiles of gunpowder that had been used to fill naval guns and fortress guns, and transported them to a makeshift dock near the lagoon by airship, and took advantage of the law of the Coral Palace to automatically surface at high tide to send boxes of destructive alchemical gunpowder to the Fermore Cathedral, Piled up around Kraken's flesh.
The affair took place secretly on the island for three days, and for the sake of security and secrecy, Bloom, Lyudmila, Nikita, Veronica, and Viglav piloted the Yamabo mech to personally transport crates of magically waterproof alchemical powder from the lakeside to Vermore Cathedral, where they were placed around Kraken's body. To date, more than two thousand tons of gunpowder have been used, filling almost the entire cathedral.
In front of the Cathedral of Fermor, crates filled with alchemical gunpowder were piled up into a wall, and Bloom manipulated the mechanical armor to stuff the last box of alchemical gunpowder into the hole in the wall, and peeked into the interior of the church through the force field window.
The dwarf shook his head and said with some reluctance: "It's really not worth wasting so much alchemy gunpowder for this demon girl. ”
"Shorty, it's not spending your money, what are you distressed about? If this gunpowder can blow up the legendary banshee, it will be worth the money. Lyudmila's voice was heard from the communication device.
"I'm not just heartbroken with gunpowder, I'm more worried that the power of the explosion is too great, and at the same time, it will cause a tsunami and flood the entire Giant Demon Island, which is too bad!" The dwarf said worriedly.
"Don't worry about this, the two masters of Morozov and Sukhoi have calculated that the power of two thousand tons of alchemy powder can destroy the entire Coral Palace, and it is also possible to fill up the lagoon in the center of the island, but considering that the lagoon is connected to the outer seas, the shock wave caused by the explosion will not have much impact on the Giant Demon Island." Nikita said calmly.
