Chapter 872 Ambushed By Giant Flying Squids!

-----

Monsters according to the Adventurer Guild were classified in Ranks aside from their Mana Core Ranks, this was because sometimes, due to circumstances such as special mutations, the environment, or special abilities, monsters might be stronger than others with higher Ranks of Mana Cores. Unlike the linear growth of people, monsters can grow in all directions and develop strange powers that can rival magic but not be magic exactly. Usually, the Ranks are from F Rank all the way to SSS Rank. And these enormous, five-meter-big Flying Squids were between C Rank and B Rank, they\'re already strong enough to destroy an entire village if it wasn\'t because they live in the sea.

It appears that monsters from the ocean are way stronger than those in land by default. After all, the sea must be even more dangerous than the land, the creatures that survive here must be strong as well, and big, as big enough that not many predators would dare to eat them, this is they the average monsters in here are B-Rank, strong enough to be a threat to even Rank 5 Magus, even more if they\'re in large groups. This was also another reason why special trading routes existed, where ships would take such routes which were less inhabited by monsters.

Nonetheless, it was time to get rid of these creatures.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Over a dozen Flying Squids emerged from the seas one after the other, flying over the ship. They began spraying squid ink around rather angrily, perhaps attempting to bring us out. Some others, however, were more brave, flying downwards to fight us directly, being confident in their enormous sizes.

Let\'s see, let\'s make an Eternal Winter Cage but smaller and more concentrated, and without it costing any Divine Power, because I don\'t want to waste it.

"Eternal Frost Cage."

I pointed my hand upwards, as the temperature in the surroundings lowered below zero, the squid flying towards us to attack was suddenly stopped midair, turning into an ice cube in an instant.

FLASH!

BAAM!

The giant ice cube fell over the floor, completely motionless. The flying squid was completely frozen inside, and dead as it could be.

"E-Eh? You just killed a Flying Squid with a simple ice spell?! But squids are supposed to be resistant to ice attribute magic…!" Charlotte muttered while feeling shocked.

"Is that so?" I wondered.

"Careful! More are coming!" Charlotte pointed his fingers at the sky, dozens of Flying Squids saw one of their comrades die and suddenly grew furious, flying down towards us. Each beast between four to five meters large. They could easily sink the entire ship if they were to fall all together over the floor.

We couldn\'t let that happen.

"Let me handle this." I said to my friends. "Skadi, Uller."

"Yes, master!"

"Very well!"

The two living weapons suddenly turned into their weapon forms, as a glorious and beautiful silver-colored spear decorated with divine ice crystals emerged, while a gigantic sword of over three meters large emerged, with silver and divine ice crystal as its primary materials, Charlotte\'s eyes opened wide as she saw two people suddenly turn into the pseudo divine weapons that my two weapons have already evolved into over this time drinking divine cultivation potions.

"W-Wha… They turned into weapons?!" Charlotte asked.

I flew into the skies by using the [Whirlwind] Wind-Attribute Spell and reached the Squids. They immediately circled me and began to fight all at once. Some began spraying ink so I would become confused, but I evaded their ink sprays and slashed away with my two weapons. Uller slashed in half three squids at once, their bodies sprayed their guts over the floor of the boat below.

SLAAASH!

Meanwhile, four squids attacked me from above, extending enormous tentacles to entangle me and catch me with their viscous limbs. I threw Skadi at them, as her thin and sharp body pierced through their bodies and skewered all four of the squids.

SLAASH!

Still alive, the squids struggled to get out of the spear, but they were slowly frozen by the vicious freezing aura of Skadi, until they shattered into pieces of ice.

Seeing their kin being beaten, the squids didn\'t thought about escaping, but simply decided to continue attacking. I decided to receive them with my sword once more, swinging it strongly and spinning around.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

In mere seconds, the squids were slashed away into pieces, as their guts and entrails flew over the sky and began falling like rain into the sea below. I was slightly intrigued about their flavor though, so I asked Skadi to skewer a bunch and not kill them this time.

And while that was happening…

SPLAAAASH!

An enormous shadow began emerging from the waters, and in mere seconds, an gigantic squid of over 15 meters appeared. It lacked the ability to fly but looked very much the same as the flying squids. A quick inspection said this thing was a Flying Squid Queen. Oh, so the flying ones were her kids? My bad.

"GRYYYEEEE!"

The creature gave out a ridiculous groan. I never thought giant squids could make sounds to be honest. The most interesting thing was that it showed its enormously sharp black beak, capable of easily tearing apart the ship, which was what it wanted to do.

"A Flying Squid Queen!!! Please help your friend, he can\'t possibly take that thing down!" Charlotte cried, as he tried to tell everyone to help me fight, but they were standing there without moving a muscle.

"Don\'t worry, Drake got this." Benladann said with a smile.

"Hm, maybe we\'ll have squid for lunch." Said Miranda.

"Eh? Why are you so relaxed before-" Charlotte couldn\'t even finish his words as he saw what I did.

"GRYYEEEH!"

The enormous Flying Squid Queen moved her enormous tentacles towards the ship and attempted to capture it with them, entangling them around the ship as her gigantic beak opened, showing the insides of her esophagus

CRAAAASH!
