“Another one?! Don’t joke around!”
ㅤ
Gale’s roar is drowned out by the rumbling of the earth.
ㅤ
However, Luke had a strange conviction.
ㅤ
The words once told to him by Kiel flashed through his mind.
ㅤ
― When the divine beast sealed on the island awakens, another one will also awaken ―.
ㅤ
“So it’s true. . .?”
ㅤ
As Luke and the others watched, the tremors assaulting the island grew more intense.
ㅤ
“Something’s coming out!”
ㅤ
At Gaston’s words, they turned to see a mountain on the opposite side of the island collapsing.
A gigantic something was beginning to emerge from the peak of the mountain.
ㅤ
“Is that. . . the Leviathan. . .?”
ㅤ
Luke swallowed hard as he watched the creature.
ㅤ
It had a strange shape, unlike any fish or lizard.
ㅤ
Perhaps it was closest to a lungfish in terms of form.
ㅤ
Although it resembled a fish, its pectoral fins had transformed into limbs like those of a reptile.
ㅤ
And it was terrifyingly large.
ㅤ
Its massive mouth was said to be capable of swallowing even a dragon in one gulp.
ㅤ
The divine beast known as the sea beast that swallows the world was even larger than the Kraken in terms of body size.
ㅤ
Compared to the Leviathan, even the Behemoth was only the size of a puppy.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“You’ve got to be kidding. . . We’re already having trouble with the Kraken, and now that thing shows up.”
ㅤ
Even Gale’s face was contorted in frustration.
ㅤ
The awakened Leviathan was straddling the mountain peak, surveying its surroundings.
ㅤ
There was no sign of any intent in its vacant eyes.
ㅤ
“Is it looking for something. . .?”
ㅤ
The Leviathan opened its massive mouth.
ㅤ
BOOOOOOOOOOO!!
ㅤ
A horrifying roar shook the island.
ㅤ
The shockwave from the sound alone caused Tyra to faint.
ㅤ
“What, what is this voice!”
ㅤ
The Leviathan’s roar continued without end.
ㅤ
And as if in response to that voice, the island shook violently.
ㅤ
“Whoa!”
ㅤ
Suddenly, Gale was blown away.
ㅤ
“What?!”
ㅤ
When Luke turned around, a gigantic arm was looming in front of him.
ㅤ
“Uwaaa!”
ㅤ
He managed to dodge the arm by leaping sideways.
ㅤ
“It’s already revived!”
ㅤ
Luke hurriedly assumed a defensive stance.
ㅤ
But something was off.
ㅤ
The Kraken was writhing its massive body, passing in front of Luke and the others.
ㅤ
“What’s going on? That thing isn’t even looking at us.”
ㅤ
“Could it be. . . heading towards the Leviathan. . .?”
ㅤ
The direction in which the Kraken was advancing, trampling down trees, was where the Leviathan was.
ㅤ
“Was that roar a threat?”
ㅤ
The Leviathan’s roar was still ongoing.
ㅤ
As the Kraken approached, it clearly began to sound more like a warning.
ㅤ
“Ha, isn’t that just perfect. If those monsters take each other out, it’ll save us the trouble.”
ㅤ
“That’s not good!”
ㅤ
The one who vehemently denied Gale’s words was Kiel.
ㅤ
“If those divine beasts fight, this island will be destroyed!”
ㅤ
“I agree. If those two start fighting, I can’t even imagine the scale of the secondary damage. We have to stop them before that happens.”
ㅤ
Luke had another fear that he hadn’t told anyone about.
ㅤ
The earthquake hasn’t stopped since a while ago.
ㅤ
It seems that the magical power of the divine beasts is reacting to the vein of magic stones sleeping underground on the island.
ㅤ
If the divine beasts fight, the reaction will probably become more intense.
ㅤ
If that happens, it wouldn’t be strange for the island to collapse along with the bedrock.
ㅤ
If an island of this size collapses completely, the damage will reach the mainland where the Arrogas Kingdom is located.
ㅤ
In order to prevent a major disaster, they had to stop it here.
ㅤ
“But hey, how are we supposed to stop such a monster? We had a hard time with just one of them.”
Gaston’s words were reasonable.
ㅤ
It was troublesome enough with just the Kraken, but now there’s also the Leviathan.
ㅤ
“Fortunately, Kraken and Leviathan are distracted right now. I’ll try chanting the root magic again during that time.”
ㅤ
Luke started chanting again.
ㅤ
But even if the root magic works, it will probably only affect one of them. Luke didn’t know what to do with the remaining one.
ㅤ
Magical power began to gather around Luke again.
ㅤ
At the same time, light began to overflow from various places on the ground.
ㅤ
“What’s this?”
ㅤ
“It’s probably the light of the magic stones. It’s probably reacting to the magical power of the divine beasts and Luke’s magical power.”
ㅤ
Cyphos answered Alma’s surprise.
ㅤ
“Is it, is it okay?”
ㅤ
Luke, who was chanting, was also surprised.
ㅤ
It seemed that the entire island was being activated by the awakening of the two divine beasts.
ㅤ
(But thanks to that, I’m able to deploy magic better than ever before. This might. . . work!)
ㅤ
The magical power swirling and gathering at Luke’s feet was like a tornado of light piercing the sky.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Hey, isn’t this a bit too much? They’re definitely going to notice this.”
ㅤ
Gale’s anxiety was becoming a reality.
ㅤ
The Kraken stopped its advance and turned around.
ㅤ
The Leviathan also stopped its threatening voice and looked this way.
ㅤ
Gaston’s face turned pale.
ㅤ
“Damn, this is bad. They’re looking this way.”
ㅤ
(Just a little more, the chant is almost complete)
ㅤ
Luke was desperately continuing the chant, but he was a little too late.
ㅤ
The Kraken raised its arm.
ㅤ
The Leviathan slammed its huge tail fin into the ground, causing its huge body to soar into the air.
ㅤ
“Uoooooooooo!!!”
ㅤ
Everyone was prepared for death in front of the two divine beasts falling from above.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Hydooooooooon!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Something suddenly flew and pierced the Leviathan.
ㅤ
The Leviathan’s massive body was blown away, dragging the Kraken into the sea.
ㅤ
The impact caused a huge splash that reached the sky.
ㅤ
“Wha, what? What just happened?”
ㅤ
Luke looked up at the sky in astonishment.
ㅤ
Amidst the falling spray, he could see a figure floating in the air.
ㅤ
“Hi, Luke. I came to help.”
ㅤ
Luke couldn’t believe his ears at that voice.
ㅤ
Why is she here? She shouldn’t be!
ㅤ
But there was no mistaking that oddly relaxed voice.
ㅤ
“Master?!”
ㅤ
It was Iris, who was supposed to be sealed in the mountains.
