Lust Knight Chapter 621 From Below The Sea (1/2)

After containing their naughty desires, Lucien and Saria follow Nea towards the Krakens to the southwest. The power of such creatures is so great that around them, the storm gets even angrier, and the black clouds start to throw heavy rain and lightning over the group.

*Rumble* *Rummmble*

*CRAAAAAACK...* BOOOM!!!!*

The sky seems to cry, and the sea suffers from bigger and bigger waves; something is definitely wrong in that place.

After a few minutes, Lucien and Saria notice Nea stopping two miles ahead. Lust materializes her body and speaks aloud. "The Krakens noticed her presence..."

"Should we help her?" He asks and looks at Saria with a thoughtful expression.

Saria shakes her head, but her expression isn't very confident. "She ordered us to stay out of her way, so I think she can handle them without difficulty."

"Hmmm..." Lucien doesn't like to stand still while he watches an ally and even a possible future wife fighting alone against such powerful monsters, even if she is so powerful.

'Lust? What do you think about this?' He asks her mentally.

'...' But Lust strangely doesn't respond.

'Lust?' Lucien finds Lust's silence unusual and looks at her. She's standing in midair, staring at the northern horizon with a strange expression.

'This...' Lust makes a thoughtful and a little concerned expression. 'I'm feeling two powerful energies... one is dark mana and the other... I have no idea what it is.'

Lucien gets concerned when Lust fails to understand some kind of energy, and the situation looks even worse when Envy materializes her body beside them with the same strange expression.

Even Sloth materializes her body and stares at the water while thinking aloud. "Peculiar... it is somehow hiding its presence..."

"What are you talking about??" Saria also looks at the sea, but even with her incredible water affinity and senses boosted in the sea, she doesn't notice the energies the Sins can feel.

"There is some creature nearby hiding its presence," Lucien speaks to Saria in a loving tone. "Be careful."

Saria can feel how much Lucien already cares for her, which makes her heart warmer. However, she cannot help but doubt that. "My mother would notice any creature in the area."

A mischievous smile appears on Lust's face as she mentally provokes Lucien. 'Oh, so your perfect Mermaid Princess is also quite arrogant...'

'Stay alert and let me know of anything strange.' Lucien mentally talks to the Sins before turning his attention to Nea.

Despite being two miles away from them, Lucien and Saria can see Nea clearly due to their high senses. The Mermaid Queen is floating about a hundred meters over the surface of the water as she looks down with a stern expression.

Lucien doesn't need Lust to say anything as he can feel powerful water energy rising from Nea. The black clouds above her fly away as the sea begins to calm down below her.

He can't see because her back is to him, but Nea's eyes start to glow with a beautiful, magical shade of blue. She extends her right arm forward, and in her hand appears an impressive blue spear.

That spear appears to be made of the purest blue crystal ever and is adorned with beautiful sea pearls and glittering double cords.

[Such a charming weapon...] Lucien can't help but find Nea's soul weapon beautiful.

Even compared to Saria's beautiful blue sword, Nea's spear looks like a more beautiful than deadly weapon. Yet, Lucien can feel the powerful energy of that spear and even Its noble and imposing aura.

The aura of that spear makes Lucien feel Nea's determination to protect her people, and he can say with assurance that her beautiful weapon was the ruin of thousands of Mermaids' enemies.

Nea gracefully lifts her spear, and the sea reacts and Its power; the water bows to her before it starts to run against gravity, rising to the skies behind the Great Mermaid Queen.

A one-mile-long crater is formed below Nea due to seawater rising to the skies under her power. That water gathers in the sky, forming a colossal spear of pure water.

"Incredible!!" Lucien stares at Nea's power with an impressed expression. She is not turning water into ice, like Angela and her daughters, but rather using only seawater which now looks like a deadly weapon.

As more water rises from the sea to join Nea's colossal water spear, tentacles can be seen in the depths of the crater; a Kraken is being exposed hundreds of meters below the surface.

"Creature of the deep..." Nea's voice echoes for miles, making the waves roar with her. She points her soul weapon in the direction of the tentacles, and the colossal water spear does the same.

"SHOW YOURSELF!" She doesn't shout, but her voice carries the firmness and determination of her strong heart, echoing for miles in and out of the water.

*ROAAAAAAARRRR!!!*

The creature's deafening scream echoes in response to Nea's words, and Its tentacles are launched towards her, carrying the force of a gigantic Immortal Realm creature.

Lucien feels an instinctive urge to go towards Nea to protect her as Saria gets concerned for her mother. But before they can act, Nea makes a quick move with her soul weapon, ordering the colossal water spear to do the same.

The seawater keeps flowing up, making way for Nea's water spear and exposing the monstrous and gigantic creature, similar to an octopus. A determined glow makes her eyes even prettier while her expression looks cold.

That attack carries the weight of millions of gallons of water and the strength of Nea's magic. Ii destroys the Kraken's tentacles before hitting Its head, creating a powerful explosion that splashes water in all directions.

But that's not all; Nea raises her right hand, which sparkles with the same magical blue shade as her eyes. Then, all the water still in the air flows back towards the creature, creating an implosion and redirecting the previous explosion back. "Die."

*BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*

The Kraken is bombarded with two simultaneous brutal attacks and doesn't understand what is happening before Its body is ripped and destroyed by Nea's attacks.

Two waves of force are generated by those attacks, and they hurl water, blood, and Kraken pieces several miles away.

*WHOOOOSH*

"Fuck!!!" Lucien curses as he feels the power of those force waves pushing him back. But before being pushed away, he hugs Saria to protect her.

After being pushed nearly half a mile, Lucien manages to regain control of his body with the help of his mighty wings. He looks down and smiles when he notices that the adorable Mermaid Princess is hugging him tightly.

"It's over." He whispers in her ears.

"Oh?" Saria looks at Lucien's face with a flushed expression that makes her look even cuter.

She gets embarrassed and tries to say something. "My mother is so strong, isn't she?"

"She is, indeed!" He laughs. "I think we'd better stay like this until she kills the other Kraken, you know."

"Like this..." Saria is confused and only then realizes that she is still hugging Lucien. And even though she feels so good that way and doesn't want to stop hugging him, she forces herself to do that before the situation gets any worse.

"Oh, crap!" She gets even more embarrassed as she flies backward. "Sorry, I just... it's just... ahhh..."

Lucien doesn't want to make Saria feel worse, so he turns his attention to Nea. "She killed one of them so easily... I wonder if the other one will run away."

"No way." Lust materializes her body and comments aloud. "She used a lot of mana on that attack, and I bet she can't do it again that quickly... she killed the weakest of them, but get exposed to the other, which must be preparing Its attack right now."

"Don't underestimate my mother!" Saria speaks in a determined tone.

Before Lust or Saria can say anything else, Lucien points north and exclaims. "Look!"

A mile north of Nea, a large whirlpool appears in the water, which spins faster and faster, increasing the vortex.

Nea slowly turns in that direction, but as she does that, her bright blue eyes get aligned with Lucien's also blue eyes.

He feels a shiver run down his spine as Nea's power is on exhibition. And she feels his admiration, which makes her feel especially good.

But she remains focused on the battle and faces the whirlpool in the water. "Come to me, disgusting creature!"

Surprising Lucien, a gigantic octopus head emerges from within the whirlpool. "ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!" And the cry of that Kraken is much louder and more powerful than the previous one's.

The creature swings Its tentacles, increasing the strength of the whirlpool, which creates a suction force so powerful that it begins to drag even Lucien and Saria three miles away.

"So much power!!" Lucien exclaims as he flies towards Saria again.

Saria pouts as she notices Lucien's intent. She's not fragile enough to need to be protected from that, but she finds it very pleasant to be hugged by him, so she doesn't try to run away from his embrace.

Lucien hugs her tightly. "I will protect you!"

She smiles as she tries not to look so embarrassed. "You're just taking advantage of me..."

"I think..." Lucien starts to say something, but the Kraken roars again and shoots a gigantic jet of greenish water at Nea. "Ohhh!?"

Like Nea's water spear, the Kraken's attack also carries brutal force; that greenish water is not only made of water mana but also poisonous and highly corrosive toxicity.

But Nea acts quickly and creates a colossal water shield in front of her, blocking the Kraken's toxic jet. The creature maintains Its attack as alive, but Nea remains immobile.

Saria and Lucien can feel waves of force pushing them back as the Kraken's whirlpool pulls them forward, two brutal forces competing on equal footing.

Lucien is increasingly impressed by that fascinating scene. He wishes to summon his painting tools to immortalize that moment as Nea never looked as beautiful as she does now.

That Kraken looks like the strongest creature Lucien has ever seen, except for Tyrion and the Leviathan, but Nea doesn't seem to have any problem blocking such a brutal attack from it.

Lucien is excited to see how Nea will counterattack the monstrous creature, but then a bad feeling arises in his heart. In fact, it comes from Lust's concerns.

"It's getting closer!!" Lust materializes her body and exclaims aloud.

"Do you already know what it is???" Lucien quickly asks.

She shakes her head and looks at Nea. "I just know it's dangerous, and it's coming... it's probably going to attack her from behind."

"Mother!!" Saria gets worried and jumps into the water before swimming quickly towards Nea.

"I'll help you!" Lucien flaps his wings and flies towards Nea as well.

From within Lucien's soul, Lust mentally speaks to him. 'You have to be careful! This creature may be more powerful than this Kraken due to its mysterious abilities.'

'Alright!' Lucien quickly responds as he channels his demonic energies, elevating his senses to a higher level ever.

*ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!*

The Kraken continues to launch its toxic attack on Nea's shield. She continues to resist firmly, but when she notices Lucien and Saria approaching, she gets confused.

Saria's speed is incredible, but Lucien surpasses her due to his recent power improvements. He quickly comes within half a mile of Nea, and she shouts at him first. "Don't get involved in this!!".com

"There's another enemy in the water!!" He shouts back at her.

"WHAT?!?!" Nea is even more confused as she doesn't feel any presence other than small fish several miles away.

As she continues to block the Kraken's constant attack, Nea tries to understand what's going on. [How could he know something I don't...]

[The Sins!!] Her quick mind associates Lucien's knowledge with the Sins' incredible abilities and remembers something frightening.

Her expression gets worried in a way Lucien has never seen, and before he can say anything, she shouts again. "Where's Saria?!?!?"

Upon hearing her name, the Mermaid Princess emerges from the water two hundred meters behind Lucien; she looks at Nea with the same worried expression. "Mom?!?!"

"Saria... Saria..." Nea looks at the water below her daughter, and fear shakes her heart.

Lucien doesn't understand what's happening until he hears the water moving below Saria. He looks in that direction, but all he sees is water.

*SPLASH*

A splashing sound echoes as if something has come out of the sea. Lucien even sees water running through the air; only then does he realize that there is an enormous creature there.

Everything happens very fast, and before anyone can notice, they see the black glow of a gigantic dark shark appear in midair. The creature's speed is incredibly high, and Saria has no time to react before it tries to devour her.

"SARIA, NOOOOOO!!!!"

Nea's pained scream echoes for tens of miles as she watches her daughter being devoured by the dark shark, and she can't do anything because the Kraken is holding her in that place.

But at the same time, Nea notices Lucien's body disappearing immediately.

*Blink*

That's the sound of the Handsome Devil going to the rescue of a beautiful damsel in distress.
