Master Of None

Swimming through the coral reef was not hard for anyone. The only ones that needed to move with extra caution were the dwarven golems which had been ordered to avoid damaging the coral. This was easier said than done since they would sink to the bottom of the ocean no matter what. But they were able to use runes on their armors to be able to jump and float temporarily at the cost of the stored mana they had within their cores. 

The enforcers were seemed to be the most in love with the coral as it glowed. Some were even moved far enough to pet the few fish that came to them to explore. The elves had a long history of being close to nature. Therefore, the fish and corals did not harm them or shy away from them. It was a testament to the dedication the elven people had to the world. 

"I know this is peaceful and beautiful, but it doesn't make sense. Where are the kraken spawn? They should be all over this area…" Walker could tell this was a problem. The kraken spawn had swarmed the bay and now were just missing? Nothing made sense about this unless there was a large food source around. 

"The food that the mother is gathering. It has to be a lot right? I would bet that all of the kraken spawn are there trying to steal a piece from their mother and unborn brothers and sisters." Gil hit the nail on the head. He knew that the mother had been spotted fighting for food and that it most likely was continuing now. If the food was brought back to her nest then there would be a lot of it that couldn't be protected from the kraken spawn. Thus, the kraken spawn had gathered there to eat it and grow while the mother continued to hunt. There was no way a kraken spawn that survive on instinct would give up a free meal. 

"Brother, I believe we will need to fight much harder. Do you think we could use Remey's potions to hurt the spawn before they know we are there?" Onyx had been silently deliberating with Alice. Both of them had been awe when it came to Remey's potions and their large range of damage. They may not have been powerful enough to completely defeat many kraken spawn but it was enough for them to be much weaker. It had made the fight for the bay easier and since the mother would be under siege anyways, showing themselves with a bang would not be an issue. 

"That's a good idea. Remey, come with me. We will catch up with Current to organize it." Walker knew that the potions Remey had made were not infinite. But using all of them on this kind of attack would pay off in the long run. Even if a quarter of the kraken spawn were damaged then that was a quarter that would be sitting ducks just waiting for the joint Genesis forces to defeat. 

"Gil is coming too. I want him to help with this. Su can protect Alma. Just look at her, she is already recovered a lot and doesn't need your help." Alma was taking the help she was given but this was more than fair. Remey had long noticed that it was nothing more than Gil and Alma wanting to be closer. It wasn't to be mean but since Remey had an idea she was not going to allow Gil to keep avoiding the real work there was to do. 

Current was in his dragon form much higher up in the deep waters. Walker, Gil, and Remey easily got there next to him and were watched by Ciel nearby. "We have a plan to sneak up and weaken all of the kraken spawn. Since they are not around here we assume they have been attracted to the large amount of food the mother is gathering at the nest for the eggs. The mother is unintentionally helping with the extermination effort." 

"Then what will you do? Will you use those exploding potions from before?" Current had already connected the dots and was looking ahead to the attack more than anyone. 

"Yes, we will connect all the potions together in a long line of rope. Gil will attach some of his fire elemental arrows and with the help of the enforcers, they will overcharge them with fire elemental mana. Not only will my potions explode, but the arrows will explode and cause a much larger explosion. It will damage the kraken, stun those that are not damaged, and cause the mother to fall in to a craze. Even better, it will kill off some of the eggs that we need to destroy." The energy Remey had was enough to sell Current completely., 

"Then begin the preparations while we swim. I expect it to be perfect by the time we near the area. The scouts and enforcers will be in charge of it after you create it." Current easily moved forward with this plan. It was perfect for what they needed at the moment. 

"Walker. The reinforcements I called on from the tamers' guild have caught up. I gave them a crystal that allows them to easily track us. They only sent twenty tamers but they had sixty monsters between them. All of them are prepared to battle." This was more than any of them expected. For the tamers' guild to spare so many tamers at once was astounding. "Once I had left them with the word that it was for Genesis and the protection of one kingdom aligned with them, the spared no moment in joining. You seem to have left a very good impression with their guild master." It was impressive in Scylla's eyes. But the multitude of aquatic monsters behind them now was even more impressive.
