“Huh, Cyphos-san?!”

ㅤ

“Oh, you guys are. . . who were you again?”

ㅤ

Cyphos, who had lightly jumped down from his arm, approached Luke and the others with an unconcerned face.

ㅤ

Whether it was due to the shock of being cut, the remaining arm had also retracted into the mountain.

ㅤ

“Luke, Luke Surberry. From the Kingdom of Arrogas.”

ㅤ

“Oh, that’s right. And lady was. . . Al. . . no, El. . .?”

ㅤ

“It’s Alma.”

ㅤ

“Right, right, the daughter of Bastille Margrave.”

ㅤ

“A, Anyway, thanks for your help.”

ㅤ

Luke bowed his head to Cyphos.

ㅤ

“Don’t worry about it. I just thought I’d catch it because an octopus had come up on land while I was going fishing. Thanks to that, I won’t have to worry about food for a while.”

ㅤ

Cyphos laughed heartily.

ㅤ

“An octopus. . .”

ㅤ

It was clear from the sword in his hand alone that Cyphos had come to help.

ㅤ

The Holy Sword Orkatz, a sword said to cut through even demons that normal weapons can’t touch, is also a symbol of Cyphos.

ㅤ

Seeing him cut off the arm of the divine beast Kraken in one stroke, it seems that the rumor is true, if not understated.

ㅤ

“Thank you anyway, Cyphos-san. It would have been dangerous if you hadn’t come.”

ㅤ

Luke thanked him again.

ㅤ

“It’s too early to thank me. It seems that guy has his eye on us.”

Cyphos looked up at the mountain.

ㅤ

Beyond the trees, you could see the reddish-black hill-like body of the Kraken.

ㅤ

And around it, eight giant arms were swaying.

ㅤ

It was an unreal sight, as if the mountain had transformed into a meat flower.

ㅤ

“So that’s the divine beast Kraken. . . It’s my first time seeing the real thing too.”

ㅤ

Cyphos seemed to be enjoying himself even in front of the divine beast.

ㅤ

“But with that size, how do we attack. . .”

ㅤ

ㅤ

As they were pondering in front of the towering body of the Kraken, they heard footsteps.

ㅤ

“Hey, hey! What’s going on? What’s that big thing?!”

ㅤ

“Gaston?”

ㅤ

“Isn’t that Luke-san over there! What happened?”

ㅤ

“No, what about your face?”

ㅤ

Luke was surprised when he saw Gaston’s face.

ㅤ

Gaston was covered in bruises, and his face was so swollen that he couldn’t tell who he was at first glance.

ㅤ

“I can’t believe Prince Gale would go this far. . .”

ㅤ

“No, that person is amazing.”

ㅤ

While casting healing magic, Luke couldn’t help but raise his voice in indignation, while Gaston looked happy.

ㅤ

“I’ve never seen anyone so strong. No, it’s not just strength, it’s the strength of will, the attitude, that’s what makes a king.”

ㅤ

“I, Is that so. . .”

ㅤ

“Yeah, I realized it when I actually fought him. The person I should aim for is that person! There’s no one else I’d call my master!”

ㅤ

“Who’s your master.”

ㅤ

Then Gale quietly arrived.

 ㅤ

“I’m not interested in taking on a disciple, don’t claim it arbitrarily.”

ㅤ

“Hehe, I’m not the type to give up just because you said that. I fell for you as a man, I’ll follow you to the ends of hell.”

ㅤ

“Really. . . what a troublesome guy.”

ㅤ

Gale sighed lightly and noticed Cyphos’s presence.

ㅤ

“Why is master here?”

ㅤ

“Huh, I thought my unworthy disciple was in trouble, so I came to check on him.”

ㅤ

“I’d like to say that’s not true, but it seems I can’t just brush it off as a joke with him around.”

ㅤ

Gale, who had laughed off Cyphos’s words, looked up at Kraken.

ㅤ

“That is. . .”

ㅤ

“It’s the divine beast Kraken, isn’t it? You can tell by looking at it.”

ㅤ

Gale, looking up at Kraken, tensed up.

ㅤ

He probably remembered the fight with Behemoth.

ㅤ

Luke felt the same way.

ㅤ

But that doesn’t mean they can just stand by and do nothing.

ㅤ

“The island is in danger as it is. I intend to stop it no matter what. Can you help me?”

ㅤ

“. . .Stop it? Do you understand what you’re saying?”

ㅤ

Gale grabbed Luke’s collar and glared at him.

ㅤ

“It’s different from last time. There’s no army to help you, no temple to seal the divine beast, and yet you’re going to do it!”

ㅤ

Luke nodded quietly yet firmly to Gale’s accusatory words.

ㅤ

“Of course. If we don’t stop it now, Kraken will fully awaken. If that happens, there’s nothing we can do.”

ㅤ

“. . .Hmph, I knew you’d say that without thinking ahead.”

ㅤ

Gale, who had been glaring at him for a while, finally let go of his hand as if to push him away.

ㅤ

“If you’re scared, you don’t have to follow. You probably have nothing but bad memories of the divine beast, right?”

ㅤ

Cyphos, with a nonchalant tone, readied his sword.

ㅤ

“But to be able to subdue a divine beast at this age. It’s worth living a long life.”

ㅤ

“Who said I was scared!”

ㅤ

Gale roared.

ㅤ

“Tsk, you said you were retired, but you’re still a greasy old man.”

ㅤ

Gale clicked his tongue in exasperation and turned back to Luke, pointing his finger at him.

ㅤ

“Luke, I’ll join in the divine beast extermination. But I’m not helping you, you’re helping me. Don’t get it twisted.”

ㅤ

“Understood. I look forward to working with you.”

ㅤ

Luke smiled and bowed his head.
