Chapter 1128: The Real Kraken!?

Lulu did not say anything about the instructions, but it was clear that Tang Shaoyang wanted to do something important, and he wanted her not to know what they would be doing. She just stared at Tang Shaoyang for a while before focusing on her food again.

The group departed after Rosalie joined them. The Flame Empress complained about how she did not have time to have breakfast.

”Thatʼs your fault for waking up this late,” Zowen smirked.

Rosalie merely rolled her eyes at her friendʼs teasing. The group of three rushed toward Kraken Lake quickly. That was right, just three of them. Areth did not follow them this time because Tang Shaoyang planned to depart from the village today.

”But are you sure to leave Lulu after much trouble to kidnap her?” Zowen was surprised by Tang Shaoyangʼs decision, ”I thought you were going to kill her brother too, but are you sure to leave them like that?”

”It does not really matter. I just donʼt want to leave a dead body in the village,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head. His anger subsided a lot by not torturing and killing the Young Master Mistovel. He did not really care about these people anymore and focused on his path ahead.

Soon the group of three arrived at Kraken Lake. Tang Shaoyang then summoned the Skelly Family.

[Kaiser (Abyssal-Ruby Draconic Skeleton) - Level 1657]

[Keeper (Infernal Gunslinger) - Level 1554]

[Skelly1 (Earl Skeleton) - Level 1452]

[Skelly2 (Magic Swordmaster Skeleton) - Level 1387]

[Skelly3 (Abyssal Archmage Skeleton) - Level 1238]

[Skelly4 (Abyssal Destroyer Skeleton - Level 1178]

[Skelly5 (Abyssal Guardian Skeleton) - Level 1181]

[Skelly6 (Abyssal Slaughterer Skeleton) - Level 1119]

[Skelly7 (Archmaster Bonemancer Skeleton) - Level 997]

[Skelly8 (Mistycal Assassin Skeleton) - Level 1027]

[Skelly9 (Infernal-Frost Exalted Archer Skeleton) - Level 1089]

Tang Shaoyang could not hide his surprise when he saw the two new members of the Skelly Familyʼs level. Within a few days, the two managed to pass Skelly7, the Bonemancer. Of course, he understood why they could easily catch up to Skelly7, the Archmaster Bonemancer. Skelly7 had shared his experience with the summon. Hence he had been the slowest among the Skelly Family.

Another surprise was Skelly9 with the long evolution name. He figured out it might be a special evolution just like Gunslinger. He could not wait to see them in action.

”The Skelly Family greets Master!” Kaiser led the Skelly Family to kneel in front of Tang Shaoyang. The ten skeletons behind Kaiser followed in tow, kneeling toward their Master.

Tang Shaoyang nodded, ”Get ready to fight, show me your progress.”

Clack! Clack! Clack!

From Rosalie and Zowenʼs perspective, the skeletons were making clacking noise. But it was a reply from the skeletons in unison. [Yes, Master! We will not disappoint you!]

Tang Shaoyang nodded and glanced toward Zowen. They had the whole plan ready for this day. Zowen would use her lightning to the lake, making them angry and baiting them out to the surface before killing them all. There was no need for them to fish out the Kraken one by one.

Zowen grinned as she took out her favorite staff. The glowing orb let out a spark of fierce lightning, then she dipped the orb into the village. ”Taste this mighty magusʼ lightning!” She was having fun for sure.

As soon as the staff entered the lake, the whole lake lit up in lightning. The crackling blue lightning easily spread out to the whole, and soon enough, the calm lake made a huge wave. The closest Lesser Kraken rushed up to the surface and tried to grab Zowen, but Tang Shaoyang who already used an integration with Karan caught the tentacle. He pulled up the giant Kraken and threw it up to the back.

The giant monster flung up off the lake into the air before landing on the ground. Kraken on the ground was like a fish on the ground. It awkwardly moved its tentacle, trying to get back to the lake.

The Skelly Family wanted to make a move, but then they glanced at Rosalie. The skeletons were aware of the meaning behind this fight. It was for their level, so they were being considerate toward their Mistress.

”Thatʼs for you,” Rosalie gestured to the skeletons to go ahead. It was just an Epic Rank, so she did not want to take it from the skeletons. She was waiting for the Ancient Rank or Myth Rank if possible. That would be more helpful for her than the Epic Rank.

At the gesture, Skelly8, the Mistycal Assassin Skeleton, received his order and moved toward the Lesser Kraken. His skeleton body turned into mist and disappeared. It appeared again above the Lesser Kraken, and it drilled into the Krakenʼs body, killing the monster from the inside.

Meanwhile, another two Epic Rank Lesser Krakens resurfaced, trying to catch Zowen to stop the lightning. However, Tang Shaoyang caught the two tentacles, one on his right and one on his left hand. With his force, he flung them backward, sending them to the ground, to their death. Another two giant monsters flew in the air and landed on the empty ground. Then the Skelly Family took action.

It was a repeatable action, catching all the monsters that resurfaced on the lake and throwing them to the ground. Zowen amplified her lightning, getting fiercer and fiercer, forcing the higher-rank Lesser Kraken to come out.

They did it for six hours, to the point the cloud barrier in the lake disappeared. Tang Shaoyang stood on the shore, scanning the lake. His Spirit Eyes could not find any Kraken close to the surface. He looked deeper and no Kraken could be found, meaning they had killed the visible Lesser Krakens.

Tang Shaoyang killed at least twelve Myth Rank Lesser Kraken, gaining sixty-seven levels in total along with all his assistants in killing the other Krakens. That was less than he thought, but he kept focusing on the lake. His intuition told him that he missed something.

His intuition was rarely wrong, and he found what he missed. A giant tentacle, four times bigger than the Krakens they had killed, accelerated to the surface from the deepest part of the lake. Tang Shaoyang used [Blink], arrived next to Zowen, and pulled her back from the lake.

Splash!

The massive single tentacle shot out from the lake, toward where Zowen stood. The Magus failed to notice the incoming tentacle. Thanks to Tang Shaoyang, she survived the surprise attack.

The whole lake made a big wave as the real Kraken resurfaced on the lake. The whole creature filled half of the lake, the lake was four times bigger than the soccer stadium, and the Kraken in front of them filled half of the lake.
