Chapter 22 - Kraken's Dominance

Jake didn't hesitate as he leaped forward, crossing the thin gap between him and the beast as quickly as possible. His foot found a foothold on the shards of ice, and he grabbed onto one to propel himself forward. As he did so, his cock slammed against the beast's head with the Poison Nova's strength enhancement; its head twisted violently around, snapping its tentacles around his cock.

"No way! It got your thing!" Eiltris warned. "You're gonna loose your penis!"

"No, I ain't!" Jake blurted back. His cock immediately shrunk to its original size as he did another flip midair, cock slamming it with an erection again. The impact carried a shockwave through the air, cracking the ice behind him. "Damn, this thing is strong," he muttered to himself as he reached out to grab onto one of the broken ice pieces. He lifted up one arm, gripping the ice with both hands, then kicked his legs, propelling himself through the air toward the monster again.

He hit the ice with force, and it broke, sending tiny shards in every direction.

Then as soon as he had enough of a landing platform to stand on, he stomped on his thigh, drawing his sword and digging it into the eye of the kraken. It let out a burst of some strange vocal noise, and the tentacles around its head began to retract. Its giant, blackish-blue body rose out of the water, reaching high into the sky and throwing droplets everywhere until it was floating straight up in the air, half immersed in the sea.

Jake steadied himself by standing on the top of the cracked ice. The creature opened its mouth and produced more of that strange, glottal sound, then aimed itself at Jake as it descended slowly down onto him.

The creature's mouth formed a gigantic, purple eyeball, which swiveled to the side, staring right at him. With a single, piercing shriek, its mouth began to open wider than ever before, causing a massive plume of water to erupt from within its mouth, forming a ring in mid-air.

As he gazed into those eyes, he felt a chill go down his spine, as if he were being watched by a gaze far more ancient and powerful than that of any mere demonic beast.

But he wasn't going to let the kraken's dominance scare him away. Instead, he clenched his teeth and spun his body, performing another erect slam, this time splattering against its second eye. The blow sent vibrations through the ground under him and forced the water ring into a tsunami.

The ice path cracked again; it snapped and shattered like glass beneath the flood, but Eiltris immediately placed her palm on the water's surface and froze a circular area. "Careful, Jake. That was reckless."

"My bad, I underestimated it. But I know I can defeat it," he said as he ran towards the center of the path, moving on top of its surface like a skateboarder. He aimed a thrust straight at its head, impaling it once more.

"Just because I'm here to fix your reckless fighting mistakes doesn't mean you should give up on all defense," she called out as the beast reeled back in pain.

The kraken turned and tried to lunge at Jake, but he had already dodged away. As he did so, he saw an opening: It had left itself exposed on the left side, and with the slow debuff from Cock Slam, he had just enough time. With a single bound, he dashed over, slashing the blade of his sword across his head, making four large cuts all in one motion, followed by a fifth strike, piercing through its flesh.

A fierce roar came out from the creature's mouth as its blood and black, metallic fluid began pouring out from its wounds. Then, as it became quiet, the kraken weakened and started to sink into the sea.

"Oh fuck! It's sinking down!" Jake cried out as they looked at the enormous creature.

"Wow, you've gotten much stronger, haven't you?" Eiltris asked as she crouched below him. She slowly clenched her hand as an icy haze emitted from her fingertips. "Don't worry, I got it."

Then, she swung her arm up, and a behemothic claw of ice shot up from the sea, catching the kraken like a pedestal holding a trophy. Its tentacles flapped around in vain as it clawed at the massive block of ice, trying to free itself while thrashing around until it eventually stopped moving.

"Holy shit, that's a lot of experience," he muttered.

"Naturally. Although it's not that much for me," Eiltris responded, looking at his still erect cock. "I can't say I like it very much, but it sure is interesting. I'm definitely following you to see you grow even stronger. And when you've surpassed me..." she turned around, bending over while sliding off her panties. "Then you can put it in here."

"Fuck yeah!" He laughed loudly, dropping his sword and elated in triumph. "Can I touch it, at least?"

"No, you got Alea already. We're not doing anything until we're officially partners. Not until we truly love each other," she blushed. "When you see me as more than a potential sex friend, and when I see you as more than a valuable asset for my pursuits, I'll do it with you."

"Sounds good to me! Then our relationship shall begin blooming today."

"Don't say something that embarrassing." Her face turned red at his words, and she leaned forward toward his ear, standing on her toes. "But I suppose this is okay," she whispered, kissing him lightly on the mouth. Her small and soft breasts stroked against his chest, her delicate nipples poking against his.

"Your penis got dirty from all the fighting," she said, pointing at it as a stream of water flowed from her fingertips. "I'll clean it, or else you'll get infections."

She quickly swished her hand across his crotch, cleaning it in no time. She took hold of his giant member again, teasingly pumping it up and down slowly, making Jake shudder slightly in delight. She dragged one finger over his dickhead, wetting it and rubbing off the filth.

"There, it should be fine now," she said with a smile, pushing him back so that they were at eye level. "And as for the reward? The magical liquid?"

"Oh, right," Jake chuckled, his mind filled with lust. "Then you'll need to massage it further."
