Chapter 419: Chapter 416: The Giant Monster of the North Sea

This monster resembled an octopus,

but the specific number of tentacles was different, and its mouth was filled with densely packed, terrifying teeth.

After a simple visual estimate,

including its tentacles, the creature’s total body length appeared to be around seventy meters. Now, as Ronald pulled it out of the sea, the water cascading off its body formed a curtain akin to a waterfall.

It was during this process that the combined effects of both the basic and standard spells began to take effect on the sea monster, not only pulling it from the water but also tugging at its body.

However, in this regard, the spells from "Astronomy Master" could not continue the miracle of pulling the monster out of the sea. Although they could exert immense pressure on the body of this ’octopus,’ they were still unable to tear its body apart.

Huff huff—

Hanging motionless in midair, the gigantic creature began to wave its tentacles wildly.

The momentum created by this flailing was dozens of times more terrifying than the sensory overload brought by a typhoon. And with its enormous size, the tentacles did not produce the sharp crack of a whip tearing through the air but roared like a speeding train!

"It’s absurdly huge..." As he watched the monster now fully exposed, Ronald couldn’t help but mutter in amazement.

The enormous creature appeared to lack vocal cords.

Although it seemed to be in pain and attacked its surroundings in a frenzy, it did not make any howling or roaring sounds.

But that did not lessen the fear and intimidation it brought.

In the violent environment created by the typhoon, this monster suspended in the air continued to swing its tentacles, creating a vast dangerous zone between the sea and the sky.

Even flying at a higher distance, both Ronald and Herois could feel the pressure of each other’s sound waves and wind.

If someone were to rashly charge in now...

There was no need to think twice, it would result in being smashed to pieces.

Witnessing the terrifying demeanor of the monster, Ronald couldn’t help but be reminded of the tales of the North Sea Kraken from Earth. If this, too, was a result of interference from the mysterious side, what was the original text they held?

Ancient myths? Or primitive naval charts?

"No, wait..."

As the thought flashed through his mind, Ronald immediately shook it away.

That could wait until later.

For now, the priority indeed was to deal with this absurdly huge octopus.

The spells from "Astronomy Master" had already shown their results; they weren’t enough to kill the enemy. The spells from "Divine Comedy" in the "Hell Chapter," which mainly specialized in dealing with humans, and the most aggressive "Heavenly Chapter" Sun Blaze, currently had no suitable target.

So... it was time to bring out the "Rain Mist Divine Hammer."

With that decision made in his mind, the emblem on the back of Ronald’s hand immediately flashed.

The ancient stone tablet filled with ancient air was now firmly in his hand, and situated in this extreme weather, Ronald was confident that he could use infinite thunder and lightning to completely annihilate the creature!

"The sky falls clear in the day,

The earth separates from the edges,

The name of the Son of Man is yet unestablished..."

Swoosh—

Regrettably, things did not progress as Ronald had anticipated.

No sooner had he started the incantation on the tablet than the frenzied monster in the air underwent another mutation.

From the depths below the sea surface from which it had been forcibly dragged, five white rays instantly pierced through the water, sweeping across the sea monster’s body like lasers cutting through material.

Through the constant wind and rain in the air, Ronald clearly saw that these rays had a certain effect. Although they couldn’t directly sever the sea monster’s body, scorched wounds immediately appeared where the rays had swept.

—The answer was simple.

—Others were fighting back.

Although some on the ship had fallen victim to the sudden attack, the truly powerful Divine Comedy holders had successfully escaped. After Ronald had launched a series of attacks, some had chosen to immediately counterattack the enemy.

Ronald still remembered each "passenger’s" psychological characteristics.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the one who had taken action now was the ace investigator who had always stayed by Claudia’s side. Being the first to counterattack in such a situation also indirectly confirmed the opponent’s formidable strength.

However, as the white rays appeared, an accident also occurred simultaneously.

The spell used by this investigator naturally possessed an extremely strong anti-magic power.

The magic power that Ronald had originally used to suspend the sea monster in the air was already barely maintaining and at its limit. Naturally, once pierced by such a spell, it could no longer keep the sea monster suspended in midair.

—At this moment.

—Ronald was too late to reconstruct the spell!

Boom!

As the sea monster plummeted back into the sea, the high spray enveloped the entire sea area, and Ronald immediately used the "Archangel’s" ability to block the seawater, thus preventing both himself and Heloise from being submerged by the massive waves.

"It’s Desmond’s spell! That guy is one of the aces of the Spring Investigation Bureau, best known for his super strong attack spells that destroy others’ spells," Heloise explained beside the airborne Ronald, as the rhythm of the battle changed.

"He probably judged that you couldn’t kill this monster, so he decided to try himself."

A few breaths passed, and the impact of the waves ended.

The situation on the water surface changed once again.

The monster, back in the sea, seemed to vent the anger it had felt from the previous attacks on the investigator in the water, its massive body diving deep and stirring the water, seemingly intent on killing the investigator completely in the water.

For Ronald, the situation was also no longer the same.

The investigator named Desmond was now in the water; if Ronald rashly used lightning to eliminate him, he might accidentally electrocute the investigator also fighting in the battle!

Ronald understood the investigator’s action, thus he helplessly shook his head.

"Too hasty..."

Given the current situation, he could only continue by reciting another incantation, using the "Astronomy Master" tome to launch an attack again.

Snap—

Just switching back to the tome in his hand, Ronald’s sharp hearing detected a slight noise in the wind and rain, accompanied by a sudden spread of magic fluctuation.

Looking in the direction from where the noticeable disturbance had come.

A burst of red smoke exploded on the distant western sea surface; it seemed someone was moving nearby.

Before the ship had set sail, Claudia had specifically mentioned this.

If they were scattered by an attack, she would use this device to guide everyone’s direction; those who saw it needed to immediately hurry to meet with Claudia.

"..."

Ronald glanced at the massive shadow in the water, then at the red smoke near Claudia.

After pondering for a few seconds, he carried Heloise and flew towards the princess’s location.
