My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

We were on our third day of scouting for the Kraken, and I asked Vespera to add the gravity enchantment to the armor of the knights from the 4th.

After a few minutes, we all went to the pier and explained to the knights how to control their flying by using air magic to propel themselves in different directions.

Thanks to the fact that they had much better control of their magic than a year ago, they picked it up quite fast. In fact, they helped us scout that day as they learned how to fly around.

This time, I took the group to the same spot where I had felt that strange sensation at the bottom. However, flying so high in the sky didn’t allow us to feel anything, so we all got closer to the water as we kept hovering in the air.

Since Vespera was the only one who had felt a devil’s aura before, I asked her to dive with me to see if it was the same. Casting a bubble around both our faces for breathing, we dropped into the water.

As we both used wind magic to propel ourselves underwater, we reached a point where the bottom of the sea looked completely black from the darkness.

[This is around the area I felt that energy...] I said to Vespera, using our companion telepathy.

However, Vespera’s eyes were fixated on the bottom with somewhat of a shock. She pointed her finger downwards toward the darkness and cast a small mote of light that descended slowly, illuminating its surroundings.

We both stared expectantly as the light slowly dropped into the deep, and a strange dark aura appeared just a few seconds later.

[That’s the one-...] I tried to talk to Vespera using telepathy but was suddenly cut short as she grabbed me from my torso and propelled both of us quickly to the surface.

As we ascended, I saw one of the Kraken massive tentacles that had tried reaching for us.
