'By the gods…' I murmur.
It is a huge unpleasant sight.
Risen from the deep, The Kraken. It has the size of a twelve floored building, and it is covered in some sort of black dust all over its body. It has sixteen tentacles, all moves in a flexible way as if the tentacles have a mind of their own. The Kraken keeps whipping the blue mermen all around it; it smashes, catches and crushes everything that is not a friend. Anything that moves and is not grey gets crushed under those heavy tentacles. Its eyes are the size of a monster truck's tires. The color; white with golden-black pupil. The mouth is located on the bottom, right in the middle of the tentacles. The mouth is full of fangs, each bigger and probably sharper than my sword. It breaths the foulest stench I have ever smelled, even from this far I can still smell it. The Kraken looked like a giant octopus with its whole body on a diagonal line and the tentacles running free, only scarier and it gives you the feeling of ancient and colossal.
One of the tentacles comes rushing down, it's fast but I dodge it. When the tentacle hits the ground, a loud crackle noise can be heard. The tentacle is lifted and everything under it, is destroyed.
Now what?
I watch the Kraken as it smites my allies. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if this keeps going, we're going to lose.
I look into the face of the Kraken; usually a monster would die if I struck the head. It's worth the try.
I concentrate the water around me, telling them to surge me right to the Kraken's face.
Nothing happened; the water isn't listening to me. I feel strong, like always when I'm in the water, but the water isn't listening to me for some reason.
Great.
I look around, looking for something that can help me get to the Kraken's face. I stare at the tentacles, they give me an idea. I lose the shield; it would just be on the way.
I start to run around, trying to attract the Kraken's attention; running in circle and yelling. It works; one of the tentacles begins to swirl above me. I readied myself, it comes crushing down and I roll over to dodge it. It smashes the ground and the ground around it trembles.
With one knee on the ground and a really bad balance, I stand up and I run quickly to the tentacle and then I jump and land on top of the tentacle.
The tentacle is lifted quickly and it's not staying still, it swirls and I'm losing my balance. I stab Riptide to the tentacle, trying not to fall. Black blood, leaking from where I stab the tentacle but it doesn't look like the Kraken felt anything when I stab it.
The tentacle begins to stabilize, I try to stand up and find the balance. I pull my sword and then I run on the tentacle all the way to the Kraken's head.
The road seems endless but I know that I'm getting closer. Strangely enough the tentacle that I'm on doesn't shake much anymore. The other tentacles are sweeping through the entire battlefield; I know that I need to move quickly before my army gets wiped out.
Halfway to the head, I feel a strange cold gaze upon me. I look to the Kraken and its two big wide eyes are staring at me.
The tentacle that I'm on begins to shake violently. I stab the tentacle again, trying to hold on, but it doesn't help much this time. It spins around and keeps shaking and then it threw me alongside Riptide off of the tentacle.
I'm floating upside down and a tentacle comes rushing from my left. I concentrate to the water around me to surge me up, but nothing happened, I'm still floating as a perfect whipping target.
When I realized what just happened, I'm already moving at the speed of 80Km/h to the ground. I hit the ground, back first. A small hole is formed when I hit the ground.
I stand up, realizing that my breastplate is broken. I take it off, revealing a bright white vest. I take off my helmet as well, it was limiting my vision. I run again, straight to the Kraken, trying to get closer as possible before it tries to smite me again.
I see a couple of grey mermen charging toward me with their lances. When they got close enough, I jump to his left side to avoid the first merman's horizontal swing then I stab his neck then I pull Riptide almost immediately, land on the ground, duck-spin to avoid the second merman's vertical swing and then I cut his belly. Both lay helplessly on the ground instantly.
The Kraken spots me when I got close enough with it; the foul stench from its mouth is getting more and more clearer. It wastes no time using one of its tentacles to crush me down. I leap to the right, evading the crush.
I stand up quickly, and I figure that I am already close enough to the head. I jump again onto the tentacle. I didn't wait for anything, I quickly stab Riptide to the tentacle and then I run while dragging Riptide with my two hands.
As I slice open the tentacle, black blood comes gushing out from there and the Kraken let out a loud terrifying roar. I didn't care; I keep dragging Riptide as I get closer to the head.
The Kraken tries to shake violently again like before, but I got Riptide deep enough and two hands holding on to it until finally I'm face-to-face with the beast.
The Kraken still tries to shake me off, but this time I decide to let it do it. I wait for the right moment and then I pull Riptide, shooting me quickly to the face. I'm right on the forehead and I stab it, thinking that it would kill the Kraken.
It's still alive. I stab the forehead multiple times, black blood comes gushing out from it but the Kraken is still not dead. Then I look to the eyes.
Time to get creative.
I run to the left eye, jump into it with my sword pointing down. The eye pops and it feels like stabbing an egg yolk. Black blood gushes out of the eye and I'm inside of the Kraken. Well, inside-ish.
A what it looks like to be a tunnel with walls that looks like black vines, lies in front of me. I decided not to care and just swing my sword wildly, cutting everything I see there. Black blood flows like a river.
Suddenly a grumbling noise from the inside of the tunnel-like can be heard. I stare at it and black blood is flooding out from there with high speed. It shoots me right out of the eye right into the open ocean. I'm thirty feet away from the Kraken and I watch it as it bleeds from the eye and the Kraken stops moving and slowly sinks deeper and deeper.
I can hear the loud cheer from the blue mermen, I don't know what they're chanting, but it's probably something good. I feel satisfied and relieved, but it doesn't last long.
I can feel a mild burn on my skin all of the sudden. I'm still covered in Kraken's blood even though the water should have cleansed it away. A weird static runs through my body, it feels like my skin is shedding as the Kraken's blood is being lifted from me. It doesn't hurt; it just feels like a very mild shock. When I reach the ground, I'm clean from the Kraken's blood.
I feel something is behind me, I turn around and then I see lance being swing towards me, I evade it just in time. A follow up second diagonal swing, I sway to the right and evade it. A spin full-swing from the attacker and I leap backward to evade it.
Matthew is in front of me with his bright shining armor, but that isn't what surprised me. I feel something on my chest, as I slowly gaze upon it, red liquid leaks from it. I touch it, it is definitely blood. It's only a small cut, but I'm definitely got cut.
I stare at Matthew; 'What did you do..?'
