The Admiral of Hogwarts
#187 - Kraken
Just as Saint George and several large warship ship girls circled the island, finding no clues, they were preparing to go to the most conspicuous volcanic crater on the island to see if there would be any new discoveries.
At this moment, the destroyer ship girls who had landed on the island and were patrolling the surrounding sea also used their sonar to catch something and warned everyone on the field through the admiral network.
"There seems to be a big guy approaching underwater five to six thousand meters away." The Cossack, patrolling the north of the island, was the first to issue a warning. "The other side is very fast, approaching this island at a speed close to 30 knots."
In fact, the ship girls' sonar performance is very good, but the huge waves in this area and the chaotic energy flow in the chaotic magic area affect everyone's sonar, so that the other party was only perceived when they came so close.
"Everyone immediately assembles and prepares to fight. I guess the owner of this island is back now." Enterprise quickly issued a combat readiness order, and then asked the destroyers, "Do you have any more detailed information?"
"Three hundred meters, the other side is more than three hundred meters long." Z21's slightly nervous voice rang in the admiral network. After all, when facing a guy bigger than yourself, this kind of tension is inevitable.
Especially since the distance of three hundred meters is longer than all the ship girl prototypes present, not to mention that as the legendary Kraken, it may have some extraordinary abilities that others don't know.
"The other side is decelerating, it seems the target is this volcanic island—" The Cossack, who was in the northernmost position, shouted immediately, and at the same time began to drive south to join his companions to prepare for battle.
The large ship girls who had been exploring the island also quickly came to the coastline along a straight line, and then quickly drove towards the direction the big guy was rushing from.
Suddenly, several huge tentacles, each as thick as three to five people could hug, suddenly pierced upwards from underwater.
Fortunately, the ship girls knew the location of these tentacle attacks in advance through sonar and the admiral network, so they successfully avoided this fatal attack that suddenly launched from below the sea.
"Fire, fire!" After seeing the target, the ship girls immediately used the weapons on their ship equipment to attack the tentacles in front of them.
At the same time, the various aircraft that had been released also began to drop bombs on these tentacles.
In this cluster of dense flames, the tentacles continued to stretch into the sky as if they were not affected at all, without being affected by the impact, flames, and flying shrapnel formed by the explosions.
"This tentacle is not right." Looking at the tentacles stretching into the air like a pagoda, Indomitable risked the loss of aircraft to conduct a close reconnaissance and discovered something was wrong.
"There is a layer of highly defensive scales on the tentacles, and there is also a layer of magical defense. The effect of our various weapons on this layer of defense is not good."
Through the pictures and short videos sent back by Indomitable's carrier-based aircraft before being destroyed by the tentacles, Hugo was surprised to find that these tentacles, which should belong to the Kraken, did not look like the body structure that a mollusk should have at all, but rather looked like giant pythons.
Because on these tentacles, Hugo found that there was a layer of huge scales that looked as big as a washbasin. In addition, a layer of green translucent magic shields flashed on these scales from time to time, blocking most of the attacks.
"Everyone, add magic power to the attacking ammunition and concentrate on killing." Enterprise, who discovered that only direct hits from large-caliber naval guns and bombs could cause effective damage to these tentacles, immediately changed tactics.
Obviously, these defenses far exceeded everyone's previous expectations, especially Indomitable found that this layer of scales had an extremely high defense ability against various physical attacks.
So she immediately issued a new order to the ship girls, asking everyone to inject magic power into these shells and bombs to change the original attack method, and at the same time, to increase the attack energy level by reducing the damage range.
In an instant, a layer of magical halos of different colors immediately appeared on the ammunition to be fired, and then they were stuffed into the gun chambers and fired at these tentacles.
Sure enough, after injecting magic power into those shells and bombs, the lethality of all the ammunition immediately increased by more than one level. In this way, the defense on the tentacles could not be stopped all of a sudden.
In the sound of explosions, large pieces of scales and the body tissues below peeled off from the tentacles and fell into the sea. At the same time, one after another large holes that could fit one or two adults appeared.
But soon, a large amount of liquid gushed out from the tentacle wounds, sealing the wounds and hardening. Even if almost half of the muscle tissue on a certain tentacle was destroyed, it could still maintain its original combat effectiveness.
However, as time went by, the ship girls created more and more wounds on the monster. And the frequency of the monster waving its tentacles also began to slowly decrease.
But strangely, even though the situation has reached this point, this monster did not run away like a normal creature, but stayed in place and fought Hugo and the others to the death.
"This seems a bit wrong." Hugo thought. But as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, a sharp sound like fingernails scratching glass suddenly came from below the sea, making people feel dizzy and bloated.
Then the entire sea surface rolled like boiling water, and then a huge bulge gradually rose from the sea surface.
With a bang, the bulge burst open, and the huge waves that were stirred up were as high as a hundred meters, roaring loudly, even better than the thunder in winter. And the Kraken, which had been hiding below the water, finally revealed its figure.
This is a green, sac-like sphere that looks like a bitter gourd, about the size of a common two-story residential building. The top is covered with the same scales as the tentacles.
And on both sides of the head are inlaid with a blood-red sphere, which should be the eyes of this Kraken.
The periphery of the eyes is surrounded by a circle of small tentacles as thick as human arms, constantly wriggling. From time to time, some mucus is secreted to scrub the monster's eyeballs.
"Sure enough, it is the Kraken." Although the tentacles and the teeth had conveyed some information to Hugo and the others before, it was not until now that everyone could be sure what enemy they were facing.
In fact, the Kraken is also a legend even in the wizarding world. Although wizards and Muggles have constantly witnessed this monster in the North Atlantic region, almost no one has left evidence that can be used as evidence.
This is why the Kraken is not recorded in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", because Newt Scamander only recorded creatures that were confirmed to exist when he was editing this book, and the Kraken was obviously not in his eyes.
The Kraken that emerged from the water vigorously waved its tentacles and sprayed dark green liquid in an attempt to attack the surrounding ship girls, but they were easily dodged. Only some carrier-based aircraft that were too close were shot down by these attacks.
"The Kraken in front of us is an undead creature." Saint George said suddenly at this time.
As the one who masters the power of the Holy Light, she quickly sensed the situation of the Kraken in front of her after fighting for a while.
"And judging from its current actions, this should be an artificial undead creature similar to an abomination."
