Chapter 796: Fighting a Kraken

Michael flew toward the demon's grave without taking a break. Some of the people in Ozer noticed a black streak in the sky due to Michael's spell. The sea stretched endlessly, going past the horizon. A sparkling blue blanket covered everything as far as one could see. It was a rolling, rollicking blanket, teeming with life. The salty smell was so strong that one could taste it dancing on one's taste buds. Vedora enjoyed the sight around them. The ocean itself looked like an enormous pool of wonder. It was exceptionally blue that day with a slight green undertone. Simply put, the sea seemed calm, but the storm was on the horizon.

Although the ocean looked calm and serene, Michael sensed powerful creatures swimming deep under the water in his Environmental Scanning.

"Be on alert," Michael warned Vedora. Sarba had keen senses, but it wasn't as developed as Michael's Environmental Scanning. It took Sarba a few minutes to sense the threats lurking under them. Ayag saw a silhouette of a giant creature deep within the ocean. She could swear she felt it was staring directly at her.

"Hey Ghost. Something is in there," said Ayag.

"I know. Let's just ignore it," said Michael. The unknown creature was at the Fusion stage. With its enormous size and buddies surrounding it, battling the creature would just be a waste of time and energy. Besides, Michale wasn't here to terrorize the sea creatures. Instead, he wanted to reach the demon's grave without a battle. He quickened his pace and put a safe distance between himself and the creature. The more he flew toward the demon's grave, the darker and worsening the weather became. He was warned of the weather and the powerful creatures lurking in the sea around the demon's grave. It would take an immense amount of luck and power to reach the entrance. So one could only imagine how dangerous the demon's grave would be. There was a reason why even the Immortals feared this place.

Vedora wrapped their tail tightly around Michael's neck to escape the raging storm. Streaks of crimson-red lightning flashed across the sky. The sky was painted with a mix of eerie red and black. Coupled with the dark blue sea, the sight had a devilish tone to it. Moreover, the howling wind sounded like something otherworldly screaming to escape the sea itself.

Powerful lightning struck from the sky chaotically. Michael navigated through the lightning storm without getting struck, thanks to his cat-like reflex.

"The name demon's grave fits this place," said Sarba. He seemed slightly uncomfortable looking at the red sky.

"Is there any connection between the demon race and this place?" asked Ayag.

Cain was surprised that Ayag actually asked something that didn't sound ridiculous in his mind. To be honest, he was about to ask that question to Michael.

"We'll find out. But I think there might be some connection," said Michael. He still didn't know who else knew about the existence of demons. As far as he knew, Azazel was the only living demon in this world. If it wasn't for the system, he couldn't have brought the demon back to life. Michael was confident with enough time and resources, he could not only find more demons but also resurrect this magical race. Once he had hundreds or thousands of Azazels, he would be a real threat to all the Great Eight Clans.

"Did you find anyone who ventured into the demon's grave and survived?" asked Cain.

Michael shook his head.

"No. But I heard there is someone in the Guardian Guild who knows about the place more than anyone in the world. Even Lord Information has little to nothing of this place," said Michael.

"Which makes this place more worth the visit," Ayag said as Michael suddenly stopped flying. Ayag frowned.

"Why did you stop?" asked Ayag. On the other hand, Sarba realized the reason behind Ghost's action. He sensed a powerful being moving faster and faster toward them. In the ocean before them, Ayag vaguely saw a shadow emerging from deep within. Michael slowly flew backward. According to his senses, the creature was gigantic. Moreover, it was at the Half Immortal Stage. Suddenly, several ripples appeared in the ocean. Michael felt like the sea itself shaking to the core. As he flew backward, a monstrous creature dashed out of the ocean. It was a giant octopus-like creature.

"Kraken," Michael mumbled under his breath. He never thought a creature from folklore and legends back on earth would come to life before his eyes. The books didn't do justice to this monster. Compared to its size, Michael looked puny. It had countless tentacles that could destroy a man o warship with a single swipe. The monster roared viciously. Its roar sounded louder than any thunderclaps Michael had ever heard. Just its size and appearance were enough to terrify anyone. Even Michael was stunned by the Kraken. Its dark red skin glistened under the red sky. A putrid smell nauseated Sarba's senses. This smell came from the Kraken itself.

The Kraken stared at Michael with its big eyes. For some reason, the Kraken held extreme hatred in its eyes. Michael felt like the Kraken, and he had some kind of history. But Michael had never even imagined a Kraken being alive, let alone having a history with them. Once again, the Kraken roared. It cost the ocean to sway to one side. After the second roar, the Kraken swung one of its tentacles at Michael. For a giant monster, its movements were fast. But Michael was faster. He simply evaded the tentacle by flying away. The tentacle missed as it hit the ocean, creating an explosion.

Michael immediately fought back with lightning. He raised his hand as black bolts of lightning crackled around his arms. These tiny bolts merged to form one single bolt of lightning that shot out of his fingertips. Since it was a giant creature, Michael didn't need to worry about his aim. His lightning bolt hit the Kraken's skin near the left eye. The monster roared as the lightning bolt penetrated its thick skin for a meter. Some kind of purple liquid spurted out of the wound as the monster roared in pain. Michael wondered where the sound was coming from. He didn't stop with one bolt of lightning. Instead, he continued to bombard the creature with his black lightning bolts.

The monster roared as it swung its tentacles viciously, hoping to crush Michael. Yet, none of its tentacles were able to touch Michael. If he was at the Half Immortal stage, the creature could have stood a chance. But now, the creature could only dream of defeating him. To Michael, this Kraken was just a dummy to test his powers. Michael flew around the creature, firing bolt after bolt at the monster. Suddenly, Michael dashed forward. A wave of dark flames suddenly shot out of Michael and burnt the creature's skin.

The waves of flames pulsated from Michael's body. Because of the dark flames, the temperature in the air rose significantly. The creature swung its entire body viciously to escape Michael's wrath. While shooting lightning bolts from his fingertips, Michael raised his other hand as the sky above him rumbled. Soon, darker clouds appeared in the sky. Ayag raised her head as she saw several boulders materializing in the air. Suddenly, they were lit with crimson-red flames. He finally cast his meteor spell to end the monster's pathetic life. At that moment, five large meteors soared through the air toward the Kraken. Sarba heard a sizzling noise in the air as he smelled a strange burning smell. It took a few seconds for the Kraken to see the meteors.

"GRHHHHHHH!" The creature roared. But this time, the roar was tinged with fear. The creature tried to submerge under the water as Michael fired a lightning bolt at its eyes. A splash of white goo spurted out of its eye. The creature was stunned by the attack. Utilizing this moment of stun, Michael brought down the meteors upon the Kraken's head. Upon hitting the creature's head, the first meteor exploded into fiery bits and pieces. Purple blood splashed across the sea and floated on the ocean.

The second meteor muffled the Kraken's roar. This time, the creature's skull was caved in. Even the ocean's surface was on fire because of the spell. At last, the third meteor hit the Kraken with enough force to turn its head into a purple mush. The Kraken let out a miserable cry before falling down into the ocean.

"You sealed your fate when you decided to attack us," Ayag snickered. Michael immediately dashed at the creature before cutting down chunks of flesh from its body. In addition, he scooped up the purple blood in a large glass mug for his alchemy experiments. Even though the creature was injured too much to fight, Michael didn't hear any notifications from the system. It meant one thing, the monster was still alive. Michael slowly flew toward the creature's mushy head. He hovered right between the Kraken's eyes. For a moment, Michael remained silent. He respected the monster, although it chose to attack him and died a pathetic death.

He raised his hand slowly and pointed his fingertips at the creature. Soon, a thick black bolt of lightning fired out of his fingertips. When the bolt hit the monster's already damaged head, it exploded into a purple mist. Michael flew upward in a blink of an eye, avoiding all the purple blood and pieces. Finally, Michael heard the system's notification in his head. He felt pity for the creature and almost felt bad for slaying such a majestic monster. But the Kraken left him no choice.

Deep down, Michael started to learn about the dangerous lurking in the ocean. He knew this was just a start, and more threats would be on his way. After taking a deep breath, Michael continued his journey toward the entrance.
