Phantom of the Castle Chapter 14 Kraken

The lull lasted only a few minutes.

Outside, the ground began to shake, and I don't know if it was a tsunami or an earthquake.

There were dark clouds in the sky, and there was no daylight.

The sea, which was calm just now, is now rough.

Accompanied by the raging wind, even the Teresian Forest behind was blown to a loud noise.

The nearby seabird lark has long since disappeared.

All kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants have fled from the coast and moved to the mountains.

Pastor Paul and Lady Isabel are busy arranging defensive barriers, Duke James is helping Prince Holder in his efforts to repair the damaged windmill, Elena and Bella are researching ways to contain them, and Anna is cheering everyone on with a large piece of cream apple pie.

Butler Yuri stays in the castle with the maids to take care of the sleeping Angela and the Professor.

Everything is in full swing.

The weather is getting worse and worse, and the sea has set off huge waves on the ground, and they are getting higher and higher each time.

Each impact made a huge splash of water, making it impossible to tell whether it was sea water or rain.

In fact, there is no rain in the sky so far, but the scene is like a storm.

The crowd struggled in the wind, with Mr. Holder the hardest. Despite the help of Duke James, the mana required to repair the windmill was so large that even the elite of the Habsburgs struggled.

And such a repair is done seven times.

Suddenly, with a loud roar, a huge mountain-like behemoth wrapped in sea water appeared on the surface of the sea, slowly moving towards the Teresian Peninsula.

The water above is constantly rushing down, like a walking waterfall.

As the sea water receded, Kraken's terrifying figure was finally revealed.

The whole appearance resembles a mixture of a giant octopus and a squid, reaching a height of two hundred feet.

There are eight huge tentacles around him, and they are lapping the water and moving slowly. Every step forward brings a strong wave crash to the shore.

In front of the huge sea monsters, human beings seem very small.

The Kraken's head has a pair of crimson eyes, and its forehead (roughly equivalent to the human forehead) is inlaid with an ocean-blue gemstone.

It is the legendary "Stone of Kronos".

It is said that five hundred years ago, the Kraken was the overlord of the seas. Whether it is a creature in the sea, or a large or small ship, once it encounters this giant beast, there is basically no return.

It is said that only the pilots of the lighthouse on the shore had seen his silhouette from a distance on land. And none of the people who watched up close survived.

"Does he want us to take the sapphire from the head of that behemoth?" Holder really felt that either Professor Anthony was crazy, or a few of them were crazy.

The Kraken let out a loud roar, and the powerful sound wave spread in all directions, shaking the scalp.

Duke James trembled with fright, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground.

Even Mr. Holder was a little panicked.

He took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down for a moment.

Despite their best efforts, only four windmills were repaired.

"It's not going to go on like this." Holder looked at the approaching beasts in the distance, "It's going to be too late."

"I'm going to hold him back." Elena said, jumping onto the rocks on the shore.

"Be careful, Miss Medici!" Holder said worriedly.

"No problem." Elena replied, "I was trying to learn about this strange big octopus."

Standing on top of the rock, Alina shifted the silk fan to her left hand, took her wand out of her body with her right hand, and began to chant the incantation.

Haldra lifted Duke James on the ground, calmed him down, and began repairing the fifth windmill.

The Kraken continued to lap at the water, each blow strong enough to trigger a shipwreck.

Elena stretched out the folding fan in her left hand and rested her wand on the fan in her right hand.

The chant ends.

At this moment, the movement of the large octopus suddenly slowed down, and then gradually stopped.

The waves on the shore have also weakened a lot.

Around the Kraken's body, seven huge chains appeared out of thin air, firmly locking its body, including its tentacles.

This is the embodiment of the "Seven Bonds of Angels".

"Success...... Yes...... It worked!" James said with surprise and delight.

Holder also cast an admiring glance at Elena.

It is not only the strength of magic, but also the courage to face the monster without fear, which makes Holder sigh to himself.

Lady Isabel looked at Alina's graceful figure and nodded approvingly.

"Turn you into takoyaki!" Elena swung her wand in the air a few times before pointing it at her target again.

The seven layers of chains turned into seven scorching flames, burning around Kraken's body, making a "crackling" sound at the same time.

The Kraken let out another roar that shook the ground on the shore.

The chain of fire scorched on the skin, and as the fire grew larger, the Kraken let out a series of loud roars before struggling to sink into the sea.

"Not good!" Bella realized the problem, but it was too late.

When the Kraken resurfaced, the flames on his body had been extinguished, and the chain was somewhat loose.

Elena's magic is based on fire, and it is only with alchemy that the "Angel Sevenfold Bondage" is concretized. However, since it is a fire system, it is a water system.

This guy is a demonic beast in the water, and if its magic power is weak, it will naturally be controlled by the fire system; However, its magic power is so powerful that it can counter fire.

Kraken flicked his tentacles a few times, peeling off all the ropes from his body, leaving only a few burn marks.

Then, with a loud roar, Kraken spewed out a cloud of black inky liquid that flew towards Elena's location.

"Danger!" Bella shouted.

Elena was difficult to defend for a while, and it was too late to dodge.

Just as he was about to strike, Holder waved his wand, and a huge wall of earth instantly rose from the shore and stood in front of Elena.

The black liquid slammed into the shield wall, corroding more than half of its thickness, and finally submerged with the remaining soil.

"Thank you...... Thank you." Elena's cheeks flushed slightly.

"You're welcome." Holder said, his body was a little unsteady on his feet, but fortunately he was supported by Duke James next to him in time.

In such a short period of time, he was a little overdepleted.

"I'm fine," Holder steadied, "hurry, there are two more."

With that, the two continued with the restoration work.

"Let me come," Bella walked over to Elena, "you go and rest for a while."

"But......" Elena wanted to keep fighting.

"Go check over there, they might need help too." Bella pointed to Holder and James.

"Okay."

The spell just now did consume a lot of Elena's mana.

Although fire-based magic is explosive, the consumption of magic and physical strength is also quite large.

Bella stood on the shore, the sea breeze blowing her skirt.

She remembered that when she was a child, she followed her father to practice in the snowy mountains, and she had encountered all kinds of poisonous birds and beasts, and her father could always deal with them easily.

"The power of magic comes from within you." My father often taught, "The thing you want to protect is the source of strength."

Bella took out her wand and began to chant the incantation.

Madame Isabel looked at the little girl on the shore and remembered again her experience in the Pyrenees when she was young.

Her legs were still intact, and she once tracked a wild beast to the mountains by herself, and finally captured it.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Pastor Paul asked.

"Nothing." Isabel replied, "It's just that it suddenly seems that the age of youth has come."

"Oh?" The priest also looked up, "It looks like we're all old!"

After the two finished arranging the enchantment, they chatted on the side.
