Chapter 65
Of course, the Kraken wasn’t totally unaffected. If that were the case, it wouldn’t have reacted in such a violent manner. Nevertheless, the Kraken’s size meant that Merlin’s hand skills wouldn’t be capable of severely injuring it. It was like sticking a needle into someone, with the Kraken being the person in this example and Merlin’s attack being the needle. Although being stuck would hurt and anger the target, it wouldn’t be enough to kill them.
“Even if that guy stays still and doesn’t counterattack, it would at least one week of internal energy attacks to defeat it.”
The Kraken didn’t utilize any specific energy or power, but its overwhelming size gave it abundant life force. So, its mass was essentially a source of energy and power in and of itself, and the Kraken could be treated as a life force-based monster. And, generally…
“Life force practitioners typically have large health bars. I don’t think I can catch that thing.”
While it was difficult for the Kraken to land any attack on Merlin, if it were successful, the player would sustain considerable, critical damage. Yet, on the other hand, Merlin could easily hit the Kraken, but it would take him forever to win. Merlin considered himself reasonably powerful, so he couldn’t help but see the Kraken as a being on a whole new level. And to be honest, their levels were indeed vastly different.
‘It’s too bad. I would’ve gotten a monstrous amount of experience points.’
As he mumbled, Merlin continued moving. He had already traveled five kilometers away from the Kraken, and once the monster sensed that Merlin had escaped to a certain distance outside of its operating zone, it moved a few more times before diving down into the deep sea.
“Let’s take a break.”
Merlin rested for a moment to recover his internal energy and magic power. Other than the small amount of magic power that he fed the egg, Merlin hadn’t used any yet. However, after using his Golden Pill Immortal Technique, Merlin had depleted a considerable amount of his internal energy. His limits had dramatically increased when he reached Level 5 and gained additional spiritual power, and he’d also spent eight hours of real-time in the Training Room, which was two days in DIO time. After a month in the Training Room, Merlin couldn’t increase his spiritual power anymore, so his internal energy limits also reached their peak.
