Chapter 577 Catching A Giant Riverine Squid
-----
S P L A A A A S H!
The river's water obeyed Aquarina's will, as it suddenly flew towards her and allowed her to step over a big arc of water. Aquarina's eyes glowed with bright blue color, as a slightly divine aura emerged from within her body.
She was using something similar to my own Pyrokinesis, but with water… Hydrokinesis maybe? I guess if I got the fire element stuff she'll obviously get the water version of it.
Aquarina looks so cool! I can't contain my fangirling.
I guess I shouldn't had gotten worried, she got this…
"Kyaaaah! You look so cool!" I cried from afar.
Aquarina smiled confidently back at me as she winked.
"Watch this!"
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLAAASH!
The water suddenly obeyed her will, shaping into enormous spiraling currents of water and then attacking the squid at the same time with countless piercing blows!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
"GRUUUUUHHHHHH…!"
The Squid gave a very squiddy cry, several parts of his body were blown into pieces, as his tentacles started to float above the water. It tried to run away from Aquarina, but she mercilessly caught the struggling monster and wrapped it around her water.
A slightly evil smile emerged in her lips, which only made me feel more excited.
"You'll be our lunch and dinner tonight!"
CRAAASH!
She completely crushed the squid's body, blowing it into pieces.
SPLASH!
All the bits fell into the river, as she quickly gathered them into a floating bubble of water and carried it outside the river.
"All's good! Can we have it grilled, Sylphy?" She wondered innocently.
"S-Sure!" I felt amazed, as we all flew down as if nothing had happened.
I guess Tier 3 Monsters are not that much if she's near a big source of water. But perhaps due to lacking enough Mana, she can't produce this much water using her Mana alone, so she's cannot completely make her powers shine.
Because I have Endless Mana, it is possible for me to control and summon flames as much as I want, so I've never experienced any setback in this regard. Aquarina is rather overpowered as long as she's within her element.
Unless… I can make her some equipment to help her conjure and create water quicker, and also make her MP restoration faster as well. Maybe if I give her a System Seed too, that would also enchant her power.
"That was amazing!" Mist was amazed.
"Yeah, impressive." Celeste nodded. "Can't expect less from the Hero of Oceans."
"Heh! Leave it to me whenever we are close to a body of water, lakes, rivers, and even underground water! In fact I think that if we go to the oceans, I might be invincible." She giggled.
Indeed, if she fights in the middle of the ocean she could quite literally dominate anything with so much water everywhere for her to use. She would be fantastically overpowered. In fact I just want to go to the sea to see her devastate a giant sea monster or something.
"GIRLS!"
Suddenly, Zack ran down here, barely with his pants on.
"What happened?! I heard a lot of explosions and commotion- GEH?! A giant squid?!"
Zack was late to the party I guess. If he was upstream he probably didn't see anything of what happened here some moments ago.
"You're a bit late to the party, kid." Celeste laughed.
"A giant squid showed up! It tanked my beam but Aquarina did BAAM! And then TRUM! And the squid is dead now!" Mist said. "Uwaah! Zack your chest's all exposed!"
"A-Ah… I see…" Zack sighed, as Mist suddenly ran to his side and began touching his hard biceps. "H-Hey cut it off!" Zack blushed a bit, quickly getting his shirt on.
Meanwhile, I looked at the new System messages.
[Your Party have slain the [Giant Riverine Squid (Tier 3: Rank 1)] x1]
[Your earned EXP has been multiplied through your Skills.]
[You earned 22000 EXP]
[Your Familiars have earned a large quantity of EXP!]
[Beelzebub] and [Curse] have accumulated EXP]
[Accumulated EXP will be administrated once the subjects evolve.]
Oh well, it wasn't much EXP but still 22k, is a nice amount anyways. Also maybe I should evolve these two guys before anything else so they can get stronger. No, I have to cook the squid my beloved Aquarina hunted! How could I become a good future wife if I can't cook something tasty for her?
"Alright I'll make you the best grilled squid you can imagine! I even have Kokuri Sauce!" I said while getting ready. "For now you guys can eat the stew with Tyrant Tiger meat, it should be almost done by now."
"Yaaaay!"
Like that, I quickly butchered the giant beast, which was already cut into pieces, and made some big, white-colored slices. I checked it wasn't poisonous and then set up a big flame, with some sticks I shapeshifted using the wood branches I found around through the power of the Alchemy Skill, and then big skewers with squid meat began to be grilled.
I slowly poured Kokuri sauce all over them, leaving that tasty umami flavor over them. I also added other spices, mostly spicy stuff, it always goes well with squid meat. Lastly, I added a bit of lemon juice on top and then left it roasting while we enjoyed the stew.
"Oh, this tiger meat got super soft!" Said Zack. "Just using a spoon it slowly tears down…"
"Yeah, I can't believe it is so yummy." Said Celeste. "That thing was packed with muscles, I assumed it would had tasted badly."
"The tomato you added gave the broth a nice flavor that goes well with the meat, Sylphy!" Mist praised my cooking as well. "I love potatoes as well… This is my favorite meal!"
She always says that when she eats something she likes.
"Hm, it is pretty good…" Aquarina smiled softly. "You're too good at Cooking Magic…"
"Ahahah… In these years I've only learned a few spells." I giggled.
