Not-So an Extra



—Boom!

"Rooarrr!!"

Bellueel let out a deafening roar as a barrage of wind blades slammed against its head, sending green blood gushing from his wound.

Shaking its head to dismiss the pain, the monster turned to the side and opened its maw wide.

The monster lunged toward the black-haired teen, causing him to quickly jump to the side to dodge.

—Boom!

The Bellueel's head struck his previous foothold, sending a cloud of dust and debris into the air.

Landing at Adrian's newly summoned earth plate, Nathaniel unleashed a barrage of blinding white crescent lights.

But unexpectedly, the monster titled its head to the side and—

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"Rooarrr!"

The Bellueel let out a deafening wail, and green blood spurted from the back of its head when Adrian's wind bullets found their mark.

Turning its head, the monster immediately lunged toward Adrian.

However, the creature abruptly stopped midway the moment Nathaniel's wind blades struck it.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"Rooaarrr!!"

While the Princes focused on the monster's upper body, the soldiers and Elementalists united their efforts to relentlessly assault Bellueel's lower half.

The sound of battle cries and clashing metal filled the surrounding area.

As seasoned mercenaries with extensive experience, they could quickly assess the situation and make informed decisions about whether to engage or withdraw.

Frustrated by the constant barrage of attacks, the monster bellowed a deafening roar.

"Roooaarrrr!!"

Abruptly, the monster emitted a blinding light, causing the ship's occupants to reflexively shut their eyes.

Adrian quickly summoned a shield around them, ensuring the monster wouldn't try anything unexpected.

—Splash!

Moments later, a resounding splash echoed through the air as a heavy object plunged into the sea. 

After the light settled, Bellueel vanished without a trace.

When the atmosphere suddenly grew eerily silent, the people on the deck immediately became more alert, their senses heightened.

As the monster originated from the depths of the sea, it possessed the ability to produce light, which it could use to disorient its prey or foes.

—Crack!

The scraping sound of wood against wood was eerie, setting an ominous tone for what was about to happen. 

Suddenly, the ship began to tilt alarmingly to one side, causing the members on the deck to panic. 

"Arrghh!!"

"Hhuuaaa!!'

Some desperately tried to grab onto anything they could, while others were thrown to the floor in a chaotic scramble to keep from falling to the sea below.

As one of them desperately clung onto the swaying deck railing, his eyes widened in horror as he caught sight of the jagged hole on the left side of the vessel's hull, a mark left by the monster's claws.

Without a moment's hesitation, he bellowed at the top of his lungs, urgently informing the crew of the situation.

"The hull has a hole! We're taking on water! The hull—!" 

"Roooaarr!!"

Suddenly, a deafening scraping noise filled the air, and the ship lurched violently to one side.

The tilt was so severe that it felt as though the entire vessel was about to capsize.

A man who had been clinging desperately to the deck railing suddenly let out a shout.

"The hull of this side had a hole too!"

"Tsk."

Adrian clucked his tongue in annoyance.

As expected of the monster rating above C, their intelligence was doubtlessly a headache; it attempted to sink the ship.

—Splash!

As shadows fell upon them, they looked up only to see the monster's body hovering menacingly above them, poised to strike.

Panic set in as the people on board scrambled for safety.

"Help!!"

"Watch out!!"

Without delay, the two princes leaped aside and Adrian reinforced his shield with layer upon layer of protection.

—Boom!

The Bellueel descended upon the ship, causing the water to surge into the air and the vessel to be forcefully pushed downwards.

"Rooarrr!!"

Without hesitation, it immediately began attacking Adrian's shield with a flurry of blows, its razor-sharp claws slicing through the air with ferocious speed.

—Bang! —Bang! —Bang! 

With every hit, the shield seemed to be pushed further back into the ship's hull, the creaking wood and snapping ropes a constant reminder of the dire situation.

The people inside the shield could do nothing but watch helplessly, their hearts filled with unease as they silently watched and prayed that the shield would somehow hold.

Sensing something hurtling towards it, the monster deftly moved to the side, causing Nathaniel's attack to hit Adrian's shield instead.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Turning its head, the monster spat its acid spray toward Nathaniel, but before it could reach him, Adrian cast a shield around his brother.

Undeterred, it rushed toward him and swiftly swung its razor-sharp claws.

Nathaniel tightened his grip on the sword and began chanting inwardly before shouting out loud.

"Ian, send me up!"

"Got it."

Adrian dismissed the shield in front of his brother and began reciting a spell. 

Soon, the earth plate beneath Nathaniel's feet soared upwards, propelling him into the air.

—Boom!

Dust and debris filled the air as the monster's attack struck the earth plate.

—Tap!

Landing perfectly on Bellueel's head, Nathaniel stabbed the monster's head with his sword coated by the Wind Elemental.

"Roooaarrrr!"

The monster let out a wail, prompting Nathaniel to tighten his grip on the hilt of his sword. 

Mustering all his strength, he ran towards the monster's tail with his sword still planted deep in its flesh.

"Roooaarrrr!"

The monster roared in agony and Nathaniel immediately leapt back.

—Boom! 

Bellueel threw its body onto the deck and began thrashing about, rolling from side to side. 

"Roooaarrrr!"

It writhed in agony, its green blood oozing down its back and splattering everywhere.

However—

—Crack!

The sound of splintering wood echoed through the surrounding area as the ship unexpectedly broke in two pieces.

The water around the ship began to churn and bubble, creating a whirlpool that threatened to swallow the ship whole. 

"Help!!"

"Uwaa"

The passengers inside the ship screamed in terror as they felt the ship being pulled towards the vortex.

Chaos erupted, people tried to grab onto anything they could find to avoid falling into the sea.

"What the—"

Nathaniel, who had just landed on an earth plate, was taken aback by the scene below.

"Tsk."

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Adrian hastily began chanting.

Soon, a gigantic blue Magic Circle formed beneath the ship and the water around it froze instantly and brought the vessel to an abrupt halt.

"Haa… haa…"

The passengers let out a collective gasp as they realized they were safe, at least for the moment.

Realizing that victory was impossible, the monster ceased its thrashing and slithered towards the unfrozen sea.

'It's a grave mistake to assume that you can leave this place alive.'

Without hesitation, Adrian immediately chased it.

"Ian wait!"

Ignoring his brother, Adrian hastily unleashed a barrage of wind bullets.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

With a quick zigzag, the monster deftly dodged the attack, sending shards of ice and snow flying into the air.

Shifting his gaze towards the unfrozen sea, Adrian recited a spell.

Shortly, the sea surged forth, rising in a massive wave that cast a dark shadow over the monster.

Jerked in surprise, the monster's massive head whipped to the side, but it was too late. 

Adrian had been waiting for this moment.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"Rooarrr!"

The monster let out a piercing wail of agony as a volley of wind bullets to its flesh.

Emerald-hued blood gushed from the monster's wound, splattering the pristine white ice below with sickly green ichor. 

Despite its injured and feeble frame, the monster struggled to move, but its efforts were in vain.

With a flick of his hand, the tsunami crashed down upon the monster, tossing it around in the churning waters.

Adrian watched as the creature was battered by the powerful waves, struggling to stay afloat in the tumultuous tsunami.

Without delay, Adrian cast another spell.

Soon, the ice land trembled as a cage of ice rose around the creature, trapping it within its confines. 

Adrian watched as the monster struggled against its earthen prison, unable to break free.

Upon seeing it, Adrian couldn't help but click his tongue. 

"What a hassle."

When the seawater began to recede, Adran leaped off his earthen platform and strode confidently towards the cage, his eyes fixed on the trapped monster.

The enraged monster thrashed its cage back and forth, its massive body straining against the ice bars. 

Despite its efforts, the cage remained unscathed. 

Instantly, Adrian summoned five sharp, hardened earth spears in the air, their rough surfaces glinting in the sunlight.

"Goodbye."

With a swift flick of his wrist, earth spears hurtled and struck their mark with a sickening thud, burying themselves deep in the beast's flesh.

—Stab! —Stab! —Stab! 

"Roooaarr!!"

With a final, guttural roar, the monstrous creature collapsed onto the icy ground, its massive body convulsing in its death throes.

Thick, green blood oozed from the gaping wound in its chest, staining the white ice below.

The Bellueel was defeated.

Despite his victory over the monstrous creature, Adrian couldn't help but furrow his brow in confusion.

Just, how and where the hell did that shitty organization get the Kraken and this monster?
