Meanwhile, Zwei's expression was cold as ice. It was exactly as Gracier guessed.
Gazing at the barrier of pitch-black ink, a glint flashed in Zwei's eyes. At the next moment, in the blink of an eye, the sword in his hand metamorphosed into a lightning bolt that penetrated the middle of the dark cloud of pitch-black ink. The mighty impact along with whirling gales erupted, wiping out the black ink instantly. And now, along with another miserable shriek, the giant octopus's body was punctured thoroughly, leaving a huge round hole in the middle. Blood sprayed everywhere from the wound, spreading, mixed with black ink. The giant octopus shuddered uncontrollably, but that was just its deathbed struggle.
"My final touch !"
Along with Gracier's hearty laughter, a sudden burst of flames instantly engulfed the octopus's body.
The adventurers on the side were dumbfounded, completely unresponsive to the scene before them. After all, just a moment ago, they were trying to stop and defeat that terrifying monster with the belief that they would die. But they didn't expect the situation to turn around in just a split second. As these two strange beings showed up, the battle situation turned around drastically. The deep sea octopus was a creature that even a powerful group of mermaid elites had a hard time eliminating. Despite that, those two actually killed it so effortlessly.
Most of the group was curious about their identity.
''Thank you for saving us!" The one seemed like the leader approached Zwei and thanked them. Gracier had arrived by then.
Zwei nodded before saying.
''Don't worry I saved you because I need your help to get rid of another monster, a bigger one.''
One of the adventurers frowned wanting to say something but the leader stopped him.
''I understand, we will cooperate.''
Zwei nodded before turning to face Gracier and explained things to her. According to his explanation the chaos organization seemed to be trying to turning this area in a dungeon, they even created abnormal monsters, the octopus they fought was one of them but there's one left, Le final boss.
Gracier nodded in understanding and together with the rest of the group of adventurers they went deeper where the Big octopus was located.
Quickly they encountered a group of weird monsters, a mix between goblin and kobold. Their level was high around 120 but they numbered, Zwei ordered some the adventurers to take care of the weird monsters.
Meanwhile the rest arrived before a seven meters tall octopus and quickly engaged it. This monster level almost hit 182.
Gracier extended her arms and along with this action, a burning scarlet card appeared between her slender fingers.
Then, flames erupted.
''Red Lotus!"
Rumble!
In the sound of explosive thunderclaps, the crowd in battle couldn't help but look at the sky curiously. Shortly after, they witnessed thick layers of white clouds emerging from the horizon and shrouding the battlefield.
Wait… Those aren't clouds!
"Ssss…!"
Along with this odd sound, a scarlet radiance poured out from the clouds, splashing onto the giant octopus like a waterfall crashing from above. At first glance, it looked like a stream of scarlet blood, but the boiling white steam that evaporated the heat around the waterfall clearly told everyone that it wasn't blood, but lava instead!
Boom!
"———!"
The giant octopus also seemed to realize the danger. It loosened its tentacles for the first time to evade this attack from Gracier. However, it was one step too late. Perhaps because it was too focused on trying to eat the others, it didn't notice the hot lava and water vapor that jetted from above. It was caught off guard and splashed in the face by the scorching lava. In an instant, bursts of white steam rushed skyward as if they were nuclear explosions.
The giant octopus couldn't hold on any longer to this deadly attack from Gracier. It waved its tentacles in rage, at the same time shrouding itself in clouds of dark, cold, and damp mist that erupted from its body. Along with this bone-piercing chilliness, the lava flowing down in waves finally seemed to be resisted. At that moment, the giant octopus withdrew its body swiftly, intending to escape.
At that moment, the giant octopus hesitated whether to continue the battle. But shortly after, it made its decision.
Shing———!
An eye-catching, silver blade ray struck like a bolt of lightning in the night sky, ripping apart the mist enfolding the giant octopus. Zwei, who disappeared from the battlefield earlier, showed up behind the giant octopus like a ghost, blocking its retreat. Not only that, but the blade ray he struck also revealed the giant octopus to the crowd again.
At that moment, the giant octopus's body could be said to look rather nasty. After having lava poured on it, the surface of its otherwise smooth, moist body was now covered in disgusting, ghastly burn wounds that oozed deep blue liquid. Not only that, but its flesh was also ripped from its body, which was an appalling view. The giant octopus that was under attack once again blew its top. Earlier on, it almost went crazy after being battered by Gracier and some of the strongest adventurers in the group Gracier rescued. Gracier was also a cunning one. She cast her skills from far away and whenever the giant octopus extended its tentacles at her, the B-rank female was there to cut them off. After losing two to three tentacles, the giant octopus no longer dared to retaliate and could only focus on attacking the ice crystal barrier. And now, another group of people actually arrived to bully it further!
Ssss———!
Upon hearing Zwei's voice, the giant octopus enormous eyes glinted in a ferocious and brutal flash.
I can't hit those damn bast*rds who are far away. But what makes you think I can't hit those who are near?'
At this thought, the giant octopus hesitated no more. It roared, raised its tentacles, and grabbed at Zwei!
Three enormous tentacles sealed off his retreat. As Zwei charged ahead and sliced off the mist surrounding the giant octopus, the three tentacles arrived by his side. Almost in the blink of an eye, he was about to be caught and squashed into bits. But it was a pity that there was always a difference between imagination and reality.
Swish!
The moment the three tentacles were about to seize Zwei, he dove, evaded the attacks, and brushed passed the huge suction cups under the tentacles. Shortly after, not only did he not flee, but he also turned around immediately and slashed a dazzling blade ray from the tip of one of the tentacles.
Slash!
In a swift sound, the thick tentacle was sliced into two from the middle. Upon sensing the immense pain, the giant octopus bellowed. This time, it couldn't tolerate it any longer!
Swish———!
Along with the snarls, ice-cold, chilly winds blustered in all directions. Everyone including Zwei came to a standstill right away as the air seemingly froze at that moment. Everything seemed to be covered in countless layers of ice. At the same time, the crowd felt as if an enormous boulder were weighing them down.
The giant octopus zoomed past swiftly as if it were swimming in water, showing up before Zwei and widening its mouth to reveal its terrifying, razor-sharp teeth. It pounced on him, attempting to devour him entirely.
However, the giant octopus didn't notice that at that moment, a petite figure with red flashed by its eyes. Her dragonified arm penetrated through the soft flesh of the eyeball.
''----------!"
The giant octopus couldn't even cry before with a sadistic smile Gracier declared.
''The end!"
From her arm inside the giant octopus eyeball a flame was born and turned into a Red lotus which expended along with the giant octopus body.
The huge, round eyes ruptured in this ruthless attack by Gracier. Putrid blood spurted out from the wound and sprayed into the sky.
At that moment, the giant octopus could no longer handle the pain. Its massive body shivered, while its tentacles fluttered aimlessly. The immense pain stripped its ability to think. It instinctively wanted to leave this battlefield.
But it was a pity that Gracier wouldn't let it off so easily.
The giant octopus's massive body swayed like a battleship struck by cannon fire. It struggled to flee, but eventually, in an unwilling shriek accepted its approaching death.
Finally Gracier increased the mana input making the Red lotus bigger so the giant octopus body grew in side before suddenly exploding into a gory mess of flesh and charred remain.
Boom!
Gracier had erected a barrier to protect herself, those who were slowly got showered in the giant octopus's remain.
It was a frightening sight to behold yet at the same time it held a certain beauty as the red blood drifting in the air matched Gracier's hair perfectly.
Gracier's lips curved ever slightly to form a beautiful smile and those who saw this couldn't help but tremble.
A terrifying chill swept through Zwei's entire body. His spine was cold, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode. He knew Gracier was ruthless but not to this extent. Better never anger the little miss he thought.
