Chapter 167
**Chapter 119**
Methods, methods, methods... Don’t limit yourself to the conventional abilities of your current role. If you approach it from a different angle, there’s bound to be a solution!
“Hahaha…”
Kedar pulled out the half-broken serpent body, his gaze shifting back to the Kraken.
The sound of crashing waves echoed, a wave of illusory tsunami surged toward Kedar. The Kraken’s spiritual form had completely transformed into a green glow; she was using ocean magic, the same legendary spell, **Qing Tian Chao Xi** (Tidal Surge)!
This spell created an illusory tsunami, and the magma pool where Kedar stood was churning, the fluid magma becoming part of the waves.
However, this was not the deep sea environment; the spell was significantly weakened here. Even at her current level, the Kraken couldn’t unleash her full power.
In a clash of legends, Kedar’s petrifying gaze only briefly affected the Kraken for a few seconds. That terrifying gaze was once again directed at her, this time with a clear target—specifically, the position of the Kraken’s head, or more accurately, the location of her spiritual form.
The Kraken extended her tentacles to defend, but the petrifying gaze swept over her, turning the touched tentacle to stone, which then shattered and fell to the ground.
The speed of that gaze was astonishing. Even though the Kraken had dozens of tentacles, they couldn’t withstand such rapid severing.
“Kraken!”
At that critical moment, Ye Bai’s voice rang out. At the same time, a thin line shot from a position behind her, reaching the Kraken’s tentacle.
At the end of that line was a round, bent hook.
Clearly, it was a fishing hook.
“Hook it!”
Ye Bai shouted with all her might toward the Kraken.
The Kraken’s large, green eyes blinked instinctively, and she obeyed, using the nearest remaining tentacle to grab the fishing hook that flew past her.
Kedar had never considered Ye Bai, this tiny creature tainted with the Kraken’s aura. If the Kraken was a feast in his eyes, Ye Bai was hardly even a dessert—far too small.
So even when Kedar noticed Ye Bai’s inexplicable approach, he paid her no mind.
In the eyes of demigods, all beneath them are mere ants; this saying was entirely applicable in the multiverse.
However, just as the serpent lord prepared to approach the Kraken, already contemplating where to begin his meal—
“Boom—”
The Kraken, massive and lacking the buoyancy of seawater, had all her strength focused on unleashing legendary magic, leaving her to crash heavily onto the ground to battle Kedar.
But in the next instant, Kedar witnessed the impossible: the Kraken was flying.
What a joke?
This creature hadn’t shown any mastery of gravity magic; Kedar himself couldn’t fly, so why could the Kraken? Had his eyes deceived him after being closed for so long? But the other heads could see clearly!
The colossal Kraken didn’t just fly; as she ascended, several tentacles still engaged in battle with Kedar remained extended. Caught off guard, even those tentacles, partially petrified under the gaze, still swung solidly against Kedar’s face.
“Smack, smack, smack…”
A series of collisions echoed, and before Kedar could comprehend what was happening, the Kraken’s numerous tentacles had slapped him right in the face.
But it didn’t end there. After smacking him, the head that controlled the petrifying gaze was knocked askew by the sudden impact.
The petrifying gaze, still open, suddenly shifted direction, landing on one of the other serpent heads and a segment of the serpent body behind it.
“Crack…”
Even though Kedar quickly closed his eyes, one unprepared serpent head was caught by the legendary magic’s petrifying gaze, turning into a stone statue without any defense.
The other serpent body that was swept by the gaze didn’t escape either. Since each of Kedar’s heads was smaller than the Kraken, the petrification was swift. Even though the second target was only grazed at the neck, it was still connected to the head above, rendering it useless.
Just like that, Kedar lost two heads.
At that moment, the first head that had been devoured hadn’t even recovered yet!
The largest head closed its eyes, and the remaining heads immediately turned their gaze toward the scene.
What Kedar saw next was the most absurd sight in his millennia-long life.
The terrifying Kraken, larger than his own body by several times, was being pulled by a thin line, swinging through the air.
At the end of that line was an ordinary-looking slender stick, utterly insignificant compared to the Kraken’s massive form.
The stick’s end was gripped tightly by the tiny creature, Ye Bai, who was swinging it to the side, as if trying to create a circular motion.
In ordinary circumstances, pulling something the size of a human head would be reasonable, but now, the end was pulling a Kraken that was a hundred or even a thousand times her size!
Even though Kedar’s other heads had normal vision, they instinctively exchanged glances, questioning whether they were seeing things.
—Isn’t this situation reversed?
But no matter how many times Kedar’s heads closed and opened their eyes, the bizarre scene remained unchanged. The Kraken’s body showed no signs of shrinking, nor was there any magical force at play; it was simply being lifted by a tiny line and stick, even being swung around.
If Ye Bai were to explain, she would tell Kedar that because the Kraken was a ‘fish,’ and just now, the Kraken had been ‘hooked.’
“Rumble…”
It seemed to prove that this bizarre scene was not just an illusion, as it was accompanied by a terrifying sound.
The Kraken’s massive body swung like an indestructible pendulum, and as it was flung through the air, not only did Kedar get smacked in the face and lose two heads, but the environment of this hellish space was also not spared.
Though the pivot was inexplicable, under the powerful centrifugal force, the destruction caused by the Kraken’s size was undiminished.
This circular flight destroyed much of the surrounding environment, with countless boulders scattering, magma splattering, and ordinary hellish creatures nearby being flung to their deaths, turning into white light.
This act of dragging the Kraken into an attack was deemed a weapon attack by the system, and Ye Bai’s personal panel gained a significant amount of experience.
Just a test, and it actually worked!
Earlier, when Ye Bai was at sea, this thought had crossed her mind, but since that deep-sea space had no land, she had been moving on the Kraken and lacked materials to craft a vessel. Thus, without a pivot, she had never attempted to ‘fish’ for the Kraken’s body.
In that fleeting moment, Ye Bai quickly pondered a solution and finally caught that glimmer of inspiration—
Previously, she had lacked a pivot; now, on solid ground, the earth beneath her feet was the pivot!
Originally, Ye Bai only intended to use ‘fishing’ to rescue the Kraken trapped by the legendary magic, but with the success of her experiment, she discovered that under the effect of the magical fishing rod, the Kraken’s weight, which must have been tons, was deemed to be only ten pounds. As long as she pulled steadily, she could swing it around.
And as long as Ye Bai didn’t want to release it, the ‘fish’ on the magical fishing rod wouldn’t come off the hook.
Ten pounds of weight, with Ye Bai’s current strength, she could easily swing it dozens of times. But swinging a Kraken was a whole different concept from swinging a ten-pound fish.
“Smack, smack…”
With this sudden turn of events, Ye Bai seized the opportunity to move forward. After completing a full 360-degree swing, Kedar’s remaining heads were once again smacked in the face, and the magma fortress was sent flying by the terrifying force.
Due to the active attack, Kedar’s health bar appeared before Ye Bai, and combined with the damage previously dealt by the Kraken, Kedar’s long health bar was down to 60%. With this swing’s terrifying impact, it dropped another 10%.
Ye Bai immediately glanced at the Kraken’s status. Aside from gaining a ‘stunned’ effect, her health remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Ye Bai decided to increase her strength… It’s fine if the good girl gets dizzy; it’s better than turning to stone!
