I came around the stash room I heard from Suarez. It's a seemingly nothing warehouse, but they can get into a room with a magic device through the hidden doors in this room.

If you look up the wall with the hidden door you heard from Suarez, you do have a lot of space on the other side. I heard a lot about how to open it, but it's troublesome, so I decided to go with force moves.

”Hmm.”

Fran slashes the wall a few times with me. And as I gently slammed the forward kick in, the wall collapsed to the other side.

Stepping into the room reveals the full spectrum of the magic device. It was a rather bizarre looking device in this world, a fusion of demonic guidance and machines.

Large crystal-like objects and elaborately sculpted pedestals that support them. Maybe some kind of bone. That's all I see, it's totally fantastic.

And as it further surrounded its pedestals and crystals, it was heavily fitted with parts of martial arts metal. Is it the sports car engine that I came up with? Some popped metal pipe or something, it just looks like a muffler.

Better than DQ, that looks like FF. I also thought when I saw the ship's propulsion device, the giant magic device only looks like a machine at first glance. Well, the principles that are moving and the making of the inside is fantastic.

”Mm.”

”Wow, that's magic.”

Apparently, there's a process in the room that blocks the magic. I couldn't feel it from the outside because of it, but when I got here, I understood the power of its magic.

Can I have this? It is too much to destroy. If we behave in dimensional storage, the magic will be cut off and the water dragon will weaken, right?

”Let's just install a beacon and get back on deck”

”Mmm.”

Setting the beacon in the room, the hull suddenly rocked heavily. The hull is making a mistletoe noise.

Moreover, not just once, the shaking continued intermittently.

”... earthquake?

'No, because here in the ship. Let's hurry to the deck. I'm pretty sure something happened. ”

”Mmm!”

We rushed to the deck. When this big ship rocks so far, it's a long way off. Like a water dragon going wild. The tremendous vibrations that strike the hull continue even as Fran rushes up on board.

And what jumped into our eyes following us to the deck was beyond our expectations.

”Oh, my God!

”Big octopus feet?

'No, it's Kraken's tentacles!

”I see.”

Oh, my God, the water dragon had countless thick, long tentacles wrapped around it, tightening its body. Apparently, Kraken is attacking the water dragon.

”Plus, one mast on the Argieva is broken.”

”Fran! Something's gone wrong!

”Mordred, what the hell happened?

”Actually...”

Moldred, as originally planned, apparently made Suarez order him to try to stop the water dragon from moving. But Suarez messed around here. Oh, my God, he ordered the water dragon to storm as he pleases.

No matter how much Mordred hurt afterwards, Suarez, who was self-inflicted, never withdrew his order. It would be dangerous if the water dragon were released, so I was really going to keep him alive as a prisoner.

But that didn't seem to be the end of it. Shortly after the water brace released by the water dragon plundered the Argieva, causing damage to the mast and deck, giant tentacles began to attack the water dragon.

”That's Kraken?

”Oh. I can also say it helped in a way...... Apparently, things aren't going as planned. Wait a minute for the demolition of the magic device.”

”Okay.”

Well, it doesn't make much sense to weaken the water dragon in this state. Apparently, there are more than one Kraken, and still the water dragons are managing to do it together thanks to enhanced defenses from the Magic Guidance Device. What if it expires?

They'll be eaten by Kraken in no time. Water dragons are stronger on a one-on-one basis, but not a battle on a three-on-one basis. Kraken's already in a good position.

And what if the water dragon is defeated? Next up is the Argieva.

(Can't take him down?

'No, I know I can defeat you...'

Water dragons are stronger when it comes to attack and agility, but Kraken is on top of life and regeneration. I'm confident I can defeat Kanna Kamui and Black Thunder if they combine moves.
