858 They were doomed

SHRIEEEK!

Stefan didn't idle, jumping in Claude's direction as the Kraken released him after Stefan's

attacks. Stefan spread his arms open, catching Claude securely in his embrace. Holding Claude's head, the two of them fell into the waters.

SPLASH!

Stefan puffed his cheek as he held his breath, checking Claude. The latter was still unconscious; he looked as though he was deep asleep. Stefan covered Claude's ears, allowing the blood from his bleeding palm to swirl around them underwater. The Kraken was still screaming; if continued, it would completely break Claude's eardrums.

After making sure his ability silenced the harsh noise surrounding Claude, Stefan carried him to the surface. He didn't know what the dangers were on the surface, but it was better than staying underwater.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

As soon as Stefan resurfaced from underwater, he gasped for air. He turned his head to Claude on instinct, shaking him slightly.

"Claude!" shouted Stefan, shaking Claude more violently now. "Claude!"

Stefan shook Claude until the latter coughed out water. Claude grunted, throwing up all the water he had drank upon losing consciousness underwater. Claude's eyes were blurry, but the stinking fishy scent woke him up completely.

"Ugh... damn..." Claude squinted his eyes, refocusing his gaze on the person holding him. Seeing that Claude threw up all the excess water that got into his system and having the energy to curse out loud was the only time Stefan could finally heave a sigh of relief.

'I'm glad he's fine! Stefan thought, and at the same time, Claude paused.

Claude slowly turned his head, blinking almost innocently. He blinked and blinked and Stefan's face just grew clearer.

"Dame!" she heard some knights calling her, but Kristina ignored them all. She clenched her teeth, and when the waves calmed down, she lowered her arms to see whether Stefan and Claude escaped.

Much to her dismay, what made her already dilated eyes grow wide was the absence of the Kraken. Her shaking eyes looked, but she could only see the continuous ripples and everything that was floating on the surface. The Kraken, Stefan, and Claude were nowhere to be seen. "No," came out a murmur, feeling her heart stop. "It didn't take those two underwater" Kristina shook her head mildly, denying the immediate conclusion she had. She had enough knowledge of the animals in land and water as she used to be the emperor's (Rufus') left hand. Certain sea creatures would dive into the depths of the ocean to take their lives. Seeing that the Kraken disappeared with Stefan and Claude instantly reminded Kristina of those sorts of knowledge.

"Ialt!!!!" she shouted to the troop she was supposed to lead to the land of Spade. "Prepare to go ashore! The Kraken had taken Ilis Majesty and the Earl —"

Kristina choked, unable to finish her orders, when a big splash of water came before her. Her ragged breath hitched once again, moving her shaking eyes to the colossal creature that appeared at the end of the fort. Everyone in the fort also froze, slowly looking heavenward. Everyone's world stopped as soon as they recognized the monster before them. They knew the Kraken was huge, but only Stefan truly came close to it as he fought it. Now that it was just a few meters from them, the Kraken looked as though it could reach heaven.

How did this monster get into this place in such a brief period?

No that shouldn't he their concern

Everyone was in trouble.

Kristina's lips parted, frozen on the spot, not blinking. Even when the Kraken released another piercing roar which created a strong wind, none of them bothered to cover their ears or eyes.

'Noah...'Kristina whispered in her heart. ... I'm sorry-'

Just as Kristina mentally expressed her sentiments before her impending doom, something landed on her side. She jolted slightly but kept her eyes on the Kraken. The Kraken released another roar before it slowly shrunk back into the waters.
