The old man was silent and did not find the appropriate words to respond to Kotaro's insistence and principles. Then he said, "If you are insistent, take the leader's brother with you, he is a reliable person."
"Okay." Kotaro nodded and left.
"Uncle, don't worry, Kotaro is strong." Ryota patted the old man on the shoulder, reassuring him.
At the same time, inside the cave, the scene was painful, many of the injured, especially children, were screaming in pain.
Akina was standing next to the village chief as she walked between the two rows of the injured, watching them and analyzing the injuries of each one. After a few minutes, she said: "Head, will you allow me?"
"Yes," the leader nodded in agreement.
A white light shone, the light was not bright but rather delicate and its borders could be observed along Akina's body. "Whiteness Magic: Healing Cloud" Akina unleashed her magic attack, it wasn't an attack in the literal sense, but a soft-touch white cloud that formed at the top and was expanding little by little. Until it covered the entire surface of the cave, and under the direction of Akina, it moved over the injured, after it settled down, small spheres began to form from the cloud and land on the bodies of the wounded, they were light and thin and looked like fine snow.
The leader saw that some of the injured had stopped screaming and their condition had stabilized after being exposed to these pellets. He could not bear the silence and asked: "What is the secret of those white pellets?"
Akina smiled and took the opportunity to bragged: "My magic is great, isn't it? Those are pellets formed from that cloud above, and since my magic is of a healing type, they are able to heal most injuries, and they will keep falling until the cloud shrinks over time and disappears."
"So then, magic is really useful," the leader praised.
Near the village and in front of a small cliff overlooking the navy, the brother of the village chief was standing, he was in his forties with a strong body and prominent muscles, and beside him was Kotaro thinking and watching his surroundings.
He was told that the kraken would not attack unless someone made trouble with it, but to rid the village of its magical attack, there was no solution but to eliminate it.
After realizing that there was no one around, Kotaro decided to act, he was standing normally but the feeling that suddenly began to emanate around him was heavy and frightening, as the air distorted and the mana fluctuated around him formed a red-orange aura that enveloped all of his body.
Then Kotaro stretched his right arm in front of his chest and part of the aura that covered that area began to center on the palm of his hand directed to the sky, after condensing and increasing the thickness of that aura began to turn into a spherical shape, eventually showing a fireball the size of a human head.
"Go." Kotaro waved his right hand and sent out his attack.
The fireball shot out at a medium speed and could be seen flying along the lake, heading towards the kraken forbidden area.
After she arrived and the moment she dived inside the navy, a powerful explosion erupted, the water rose and the waves scattered, the range was not wide, only a few meters but it was enough to cause a violent shock and not only that, but a layer of steam could be seen under The effect of intense heat coming from the fireball.
Seconds later, in the shadow of this scene, another change occurred, but it was expected from Kotaro: "Finally you came out."
It was none other than the angry kraken beast, currently it was climbing from the depth of the lake to the surface revealing and identifying itself with a strong cry, even though half of his body was submerged in water, it could be seen that he was over 20 meters long, with his huge head and abyss black eyes, he was able to frighten all who saw him, on his brown skin and the tentacles of his long and thick arms there were some light wounds, most likely from the explosion just before.
The kraken didn't waste any time and started looking for the source of the attack, moving his eyes left and right, before they met someone who was standing on the lakeside, it was none other than Kotaro, who in turn waited for how the kraken would react.
This monster instinctively knew that the person who saw him was the cause of its annoyance so it rushed forward, and with the help of its long and powerful arms its speed was high and it pierced the water with its body like a bullet.
After a moment he had reduced the distance between him and Kotaro to 40 meters, and decided to launch his attack to gain an advantage.
He proceeded to do so, so he began to inhale the lake water with his funnel-like mouth which made his big head grow wider, and after he finished, eager to kill the person who had disturbed his nap, suddenly in a split second something horrific happened, the Kraken's head exploded.
He died.
Arms fell apart inside the lake and the scene remained silent.
"Weak." Kotaro sighed, he was inside the lake swimming out, that was strange, a moment ago he was standing on dry land.
But the truth is that a little while ago, when the kraken was sucking water, Kotaro rushed at him, Kotaro's speed was fantastic and he couldn't be seen moving, and soon he was in front of the kraken's head, ready to attack as well, condensing a fiery mass around his right fist reinforcing it, than hit the Kraken in the face: "Destructive Fire Fist."
Powerful flames filled the poor beast's head before turning it into fly ash.
Everything happened in a short period of time, Kotaro couldn't find a foothold and fell into the lake.
After he swam and walked out, Kotaro took a look at the village behind him.
The water that was holding the village scattered and fell, this water was the result of a magical attack used by the kraken, otherwise how would it float on its own.
The problem is over and the villagers' houses are usable again.
From start to finish, the leader's brother didn't say a word, he was just watching with his mouth open, not that he didn't want to speak but he didn't know what he would say if he did.
Kotaro's strength was truly something he hadn't seen before, and he echoed at that moment subconsciously inside him: "so strong".
Half an hour later, all the water had drifted into the lake and the village streets had regained their appearance.
As for the lake, deep within it were the arms of a dead kraken and it settled there.
With the situation settled, Kotaro with his mate returned to the cave where the villagers waited for him and raised their spirits with the good news
