Hi, I’m the Hero’s Father ～I’m Sorry For All The Trouble My Foolish Son Has Caused You～ - Chapter 96

Chapter 96   The Sea God is Toyed With

Kraken Junior was the first to move.

It skillfully maneuvered its regenerated tentacles and legs, closing in on Neptune.

The attacks were faster and sharper than before.

The realm Neptune summoned had a buff effect for aquatic creatures.

Kraken Junior, being a sea creature, had become more agile and its power had surged compared to earlier.

“Ha—!”

But Neptune was also affected.

Dodging the tentacles, she pulled the trident back, arching her body to accumulate power.

Her muscles bulged, and a swirling vortex of magical energy coiled around the trident.

Immediately—

“《Water Distortion: Piercing Vortex》!!”

—She unleashed it.

The trident thrust forward, releasing a frenzied whirlpool.

The whirlpool, shot forth like a stretched bow, pulverized the gangsters and approached Kraken Junior.

“────!”

Kraken Junior deftly maneuvered its legs, evading the attack.

The whirlpool pierced through the divine realm and dissolved into mist as it tore through the castle walls.

“Damn, it’s annoyingly quick.”

Neptune grimaced at the speed that belied Kraken Junior’s massive size.

The Kraken that Croix defeated was huge and thus took damage, but its endurance was unmatched.

In contrast, Kraken Junior was small but incredibly swift.

To deal a fatal blow, Neptune needed to stop its movements.

She had used several binding spells during the battle, but all had ended in failure.

Given the situation, there was only one possible solution.

“It seems magic doesn’t work on you, just like your parent──!”

The troublesome trait of the Kraken.

It is anti-magic.

It nullifies all magic.

Magical attacks are ineffective, and physical attacks don’t work due to its immense size.

That’s why the Kraken is feared as a sea demon.

Kraken Junior moved its tentacles to entangle Neptune’s arms.

Despite its unexpected strength, Neptune was not to be outdone.

It was like a tug-of-war, with both sides evenly matched.

However, this also meant Neptune couldn’t swing the trident.

“Damn it…!”

Meanwhile, the gangsters were gradually being wiped out.

But the divine realm’s traps were ineffective against Kraken Junior.

“《Sea God Neptune’s Blade Strike: Blade》!”

A blade of water was shot down from Neptune’s overhead.

But even that dispersed as soon as it hit Kraken Junior.

(So it really is useless…!)

Neptune prided herself on being the strongest in magic under the sea.

But at this rate, she was running out of options.

She could lose.

(Damn it, how foolish am I! I am the Sea God! To lose to someone like this…! Ugh…!?)

Suddenly, Neptune’s legs and neck were entangled by tentacles.

Not just that. The tentacles also wrapped around her torso and tightened forcefully.

“Gah…!”

The pressure intensified. Flesh and bones creaked, and a long-forgotten pain surged through her body.

The leader clinging to Kraken Junior wore a crude smile.

It seemed that by clinging to Kraken Junior, he was nullifying the traps of the divine realm.

“Gehihihihihi! Good job, Junior, humiliate that slut of a woman with just her body!”

“──”

The remaining legs slowly advanced towards Neptune.

Along with frustration, fear gripped her body.

(What, no way, this…)

Kraken Junior had no sense of lust. It only followed the commands of its parent who raised it.

Even knowing that, Neptune was paralyzed in terror at the impending catastrophe.

(No, no… I don’t want this, I don’t want it…!)

Magic won’t work. Her power is sealed.

If she’s going to be tormented at will, maybe it’s better to end her own life…

(No, I can’t… I won’t accept that! I am the Sea God and the Queen of Dipsea! I will not yield to this level of threat!)

Ah, but…

“I wished to bestow everything upon that person──Croix”

“Dynamic intrusion!”

The next moment, the divine realm exploded.

“Hah──!”

At the same time, something instantly sliced through Kraken Junior’s tentacles and legs.

“Pardon the interruption during your enjoyment, Your Majesty.”

“…I was not enjoying myself. I was waiting for you, Croix.”
