The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

Variant 2

We go back to the tent and ask the luminaries what happened at sea.

I've never seen a Kraken mutant, or a regular species, like I planned an operation.

That's why I'll talk to Razapham, who fought the mutant species directly.

Let's start with what I want to hear the most......

"What are the impressions of the mutant species from Razafam? Is it possible for us to crusade if we come to the city?

"Yeah, from the impression we had earlier when we confronted each other, we could take it down without a problem. If a mutant comes along, so be it... Alberto on my back with some kind of restraint magic to seal the motion and not miss it, so I can attack with lightning of the weakness attribute from over my head"

"Hmm."

"That's it."

"... Huh? Is that the end of the operation?

Gin raises the question as a matter of course.

"Hih, princess, Luminaria's sister...... okay with me? Are you sure you're all right?

"... you can't deny it cheaply in these two cases"

"So,"

Reese and Luminaria nod with an indescribable face at Ginn's inquiry.

Guess Gin never saw me or Razapham fighting.

I'm not even selling my name unlike Rutherfam the True Dragon.

I can't help but feel anxious......

"If me and Alberto are going to fight on the front line together, it would be more helpful if no one was close. You're going to die in the wake of the attack."

"... Seriously"

"... but it doesn't mean you don't need any fighting power other than ours. Kraken under mutant species. We don't usually know the number of species. Think of the cases where we couldn't cover the whole area, and it would help if we had Kraken waiting in the back for us when we headed to the city."

It's a big mess of operations, but it's simple and easy to understand.

Razapham, who has experience in engaging with me and mutants, both, says, so maybe we can go with this operation.

Or even if your opponent is a mutant, this one has me comparable in strength to Rutherfam and Immortal Four of True Dragons, so if you prepare well and intercept, the results are obvious.

"The rest is when and how the mutant species moves..."

"It will be after the wound heals because of the damage to my braces"

"Father... I think mutant wounds will heal in such a short time"

"What?"

"There wasn't a single Kraken left in the ocean that I or your father had tailored, so maybe the mutant carried him to the bottom of the ocean when he left the battle... by now he should be eating magic from Kraken's body and healing his injuries"

"Duh, you're a fellow eater..."

That's a real bad diet, Kraken and the seeds...

Take magic from the corpse of your subordinate and consume that magic to self-regenerate.

As long as it contains magic, it replaces the healing potion.

I don't know... pretty nasty traits.

"As soon as you recover, will the mutant attack you?

"... I don't know, I don't feel like I'm coming. I can't say for sure."

Reese denies my story.

"Why?

"As far as the conversation goes, mutant species have the intelligence to just retreat if they become aware of their disadvantages. Perhaps we should be more careful than we found out about the existence of a stronger man than ourselves, Mr. Razapham... because I think it's only then that mutants take action."

Reese answers my question.

"Originally seeking strength is a primitive demonic instinct, and Kraken grows by eating the magic and meat of the prey he kills, which is the same for mutants and usually species, but mutants become stronger at incredible speeds because they absorb even the bait that Kraken the distributor ordered them to collect."

"Hmm."

"Mutant species can be stronger without risking moving or just waiting under the sea... because the species usually collect food from all over the place. So while it's possible that the usual species that collect bait will raid the city to collect the bait that they devote to the mutant species, I don't think it's likely that the mutant species themselves will come up to sea level"

It only moves after eating enough food and gaining enough strength.

Therefore, for the time being, it is likely to be drawn to the bottom of the sea...

"... By the way, is Ginn's hometown okay?

"I think we still have time to spare because of the distance from Kraken's habitat... but I'm honestly anxious about this situation"

Oh my God... this is it.

Once the food available in the current waters is diminishing, Kraken will move to another waters to expand his range of activities more and more.

Over time, the mutant species become stronger and the situation worsens.

"Blah, it'd be better if the mutant came right here."

"Yeah, it's weird what I say, too."

Reese nods at my dialogue.

Normally where the species is defeated, the Kraken herd will not collapse unless the mutant species body is finished, so the fundamental problem will not be solved.

"If you're judging at the moment, our local power is definitely higher than that of the mutant species..."

You mean leave it like this and you don't know if it grows.

There may be growth limits for mutant species, but four hundred years ago, mutants who grew up to the Demon King class were opponents.

Even at the moment, we can use the great magic of Level Six already used by the Demon King, so if it's going to be any stronger... yeah, yah.

"... By the way, four hundred years ago, how did Clive defeat the mutant species?

"It was a terrible war of attrition at first, too, with mutants eating the demon kings of the sea, and Kraken's usual seeds and defeating them are hard to reduce. Ultimately, my brother developed massive, wide-ranging junction magic that weakened the entire enemy and locked the mutants who came to the city away in order to annihilate them... I can't use that means without my brother anyway, and I need a lot of prep time, so I can't."

Enough junction to trap the mutant species, I care, but now I leave it first.

Anyway, if it's going according to Reese's guess, it means that by the time the mutant species moves, it's growing correspondingly, and there's already been a lot of damage to the ocean.

Needless to say, the settlement of Ginn's hometown in the sea.

I hope mutant species commit the foolishness of floating to sea level and coming near us, but if they don't come, it will be a long battle.

I can't even get a ship out of here more than there are mutant species.

Whatever the temporary thing is, it would be a huge economic blow in the long run.

"Again, it hurts that I just let you get away with it..."

He looks like Razapham chewed up a bitter bug.

When mutants are jittery at the bottom of the ocean, it's hard to deal with me not being able to move freely in the water or with a breathless lasafam.

I really get around to the back.

(... not if you're saying something too long)

I don't want to give them much time, but what's wrong?

I hope it's also a means of securely calling mutant species to sea level.

Even if we all talk about not being here, only time passes.

"Um... Mr. Alberto"

"What's up, Luminaria... did you come up with any ideas?

"Well... it's a tentative story."

"What?

"Battle in the Sea...... can't we do something about it?

"Dude, that's why I told you so many times? He said he wouldn't float."

I can't move freely in the sea.
