Spatial bugs and guards weren't the only creatures dwelling in open space. There were many other monsters, but none of them would attack Ereg after he easily killed four supreme spatial guards.
For the other open-space monsters, starting a fight with Ereg was like signing a death sentence. To them, he was an invincible opponent, and everyone, especially Ereg, understood that.
"Damn, they made me spend some time on them. I didn't expect that at all, but okay. Now I can go back to my real opponent." Ereg smirked, heading towards the direction of the colosseum.
Whooooooooooooooosh.
However, just as he took a few steps, several objects, long and thin, like ropes or chains, headed towards him out of the darkness.
Ereg's eyes went wide as he looked at his hands, around which were twisted dark tentacles, "Hmm? What the hell is that?"
He wasn't worried as he felt that these tentacles couldn't do him any damage, but she was actually as surprised as the others.
'Oh... I've only seen this thing once, and then I didn't get a chance to fight it.' Gael internally muttered with a slight smile on his face, 'Well, that's good. So our fight will be unique, not just for us, but for everyone else. It will be a part of history.''
"What is that...?" Nila muttered in confusion with a worried expression.
'Worried about your king? Well, there's no need for that. Better keep a close eye on this fight, as it's unlikely this creature will appear in the next hundred years." Alucard smirked as he looked into the endless darkness of the open space.
Thanks to his keen eyesight, Alucard could see what others could not, and then he stared at the massive silhouette rapidly approaching Ereg.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Ereg tensed his muscles as his arms erupted in dark flames. It was enough to tear the tentacles apart, completely destroying them.
However, not even a second later, a multitude of tentacles came down on Ereg's back like several powerful whips.
The impact, threw Ereg aside from the colosseum, as he found himself back in the arena.
From his fall, a cloud of dust rose up, while he slowly came to his senses.
"Damn... That wasn't bad. If someone below God Stage had been in my place, it's unlikely that this one would have survived that attack." Ereg muttered with a calm look, holding his back and straightening up like an old man.
"Agh! That was a great release!" Ereg exclaimed in excitement.
Tap.
Gael landed next to him with a sly smile, "Well, well, you tried so hard not to get a single attack from the spatial guards, but in the end, you failed."
Ereg frowned, "Hey, I killed them as cleanly and quickly as possible! What's more, what is this even about? I've never heard of a monster with tentacles living in the open!"
Gael shrugged, "It's an octopus, though no... I'd call this one the Kraken."
"What...?" Ereg tilted his head in confusion, he didn't understand at all what Gael was talking about, and this whole situation seemed strange to him.
"ROOOOOOAAARRRRRRRR!!!"
At the same moment, a furious roar sounded from the depths of the open space as a huge silhouette approached the colosseum.
Just as Gael had said, it was a huge octopus with multiple eyes, an eerie jaw, and countless tentacles. This creature was big enough to easily fight several Dragons at once in their Full Form.
"Yeah... You're right. This one looks more like a Kraken than an Octopus." Ereg nodded with a slight smile.
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
As Kraken entered the colosseum he looked intently at Ereg and Gael. The monster could sense how powerful their auras were, but it couldn't frighten him.
Hundreds of tentacles quickly descended on Ereg and Gael, filling the entire arena.
Gael smirked with a wave of his hand, creating powerful streams of flame, effortlessly burning the tentacles.
Each tentacle was destroyed, but Kraken didn't care as he could grow new tentacles at any time.
Kraken's body was divided into two main zones - the outer zone, consisting of darkness covered by tentacles, and the inner zone, which was his body with thick purple skin and multiple eyes with amber pupils.
As long as Kraken didn't take damage to the main area, he could re-create the tentacles and the protective barrier that was the dense darkness.
"Hey, you wanted us to fight the spatial monsters together, right?" Ereg asked, approaching Gael. He paced relaxedly with his hands in his pockets.
Even though the Kraken possessed an intimidating aura, it didn't bother him in the slightest because it wasn't something powerful to him.
"Hah, you wouldn't even listen to me before, and now you're suggesting it yourself. Things can change very quickly, can't they?" Gael smiled, not giving a direct answer.
Ereg shrugged with a bitter smile. He was about to say something, but the Kraken wasn't going to wait for them to talk, so new tentacles were already heading straight for Ereg.
"Damn, you don't know how to wait, right?" Ereg frowned as he extended his hand forward.
A powerful stream of flame came out of his palm, which was narrow at first but grew wider and wider as he approached the tentacles, covering the entire space.
There was no way the tentacles could withstand such an attack, so Kraken had to wait for his tentacles to recover again.
"Sorry, he interrupted me." Ereg waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway. I think we should deal with this one together. I think it would be interesting and unique. We've never fought together against someone special considering it's a rare monster."
Gael sighed, "You know we can kill a Kraken in a few attacks if we release most of our powers, right?"
Ereg shrugged, "Sure, but there won't be any interest in that. I want to remember this fight. If we contribute together to one of the victories, it'll be a small victory for me. If we do it together, it goes some way to proving that we're equals!"
"Hah, there's a rather cunning plan born in your head... I agree, but don't forget that this is only a small break. Whether we're equal or not, we'll only be able to find out by bringing our fight to an end, 1 vs. 1." Gael said calmly. Toward the end, his gaze became colder and more serious, showing to Ereg his intentions.
"Sure." Ereg agreed.
"ROOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"
At the same moment, Kraken roared furiously, showing his displeasure and annoyance. The Monster's roar echoed for hundreds of meters, stunning everyone who was near the colosseum.
Nila, who was on the God Stage, received a chill down her spine as well as goosebumps. She instinctively pressed her palm to her chest and took a few steps back.
A lot of Beastfolks did the same. They knew that there could be dangerous monsters like the supreme spatial knight in the open. However, Kraken's aura was much more dangerous, and it truly scared them.
Tap.
Alucard appeared behind Nila, placing his palm on her shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, this harmless octopus won't touch you. After all, the colosseum's barrier can withstand anything, can't it?" Alucard smirked.
Nila gulped. She looked around and whispered, "Yeah... You're probably right, but I can't help it, this thing scares me."
Alucard nodded, "Exactly. By the way, you know that fear is one of the greatest forces in our world, right?"
Nila nodded uncertainly, looking at Alucard's strange gaze. It seemed to her that he had some kind of plan and that she was the main participant in that plan.
"Hah, it looks like you're already starting to figure things out. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, on the contrary, I want to reward you."
"Reward me...?" Nila muttered slowly enunciating each word.
Alucard smirked, "Look, I'm an impulsive person and I always act the way I want. If I get an idea, I do it right away and don't think about the consequences. Hah, as if there are any consequences in this world I should fear."
Alucard turned around, looking at the Kraken, then he got behind Nila and grabbed her by the collar.
Then, with a sudden movement, Alucard threw Nila right towards the Kraken, she was heading towards the monster's horrible jaw that could easily turn her into nothingness and tear her apart.
Absolutely no one expected something like this to happen, as a few seconds ago, even Alucard didn't know he would do this. Beastfolks had no way to influence this, so all they had to do was keep watching.
"NO!!!!" Nila exclaimed in fear, unable to stop the powerful momentum that propelled her forward because of Alucard's throw.
Ereg and Gael were no exception as their eyes went wide. They knew that Alucard was capable of anything, but this was beyond all limits.
Liang threw him a reproachful look, "Hey, didn't you say you didn't want to interfere in their fight?"
Alucard shrugged with an innocent smile.
