Alma and Su stood together as they looked out at the bay. They had snuck to the edges and could see the enforcers signaling with a torch on the opposite side. "Are you ready? It will be a lot at once but Walker gave me some mana potions to help." There was a lot of mana that would be required for Alma to grow so much razor whip weed at once.
"I'm ready. We just need to wait for the signal that they have dropped the bait in the water." There was a tense aura around Alma. She was preparing herself to potentially pass out after using all of her mana. But she would need to make sure that the razor whip weed line was strong enough to hold while Su guarded her.
A slight blue light was visible under the water as a symphony of slashing began to sound across the water. "That is the lure orb skill and the bait. Here we go." Su raised a torch to show that they were on standby and waiting for the kraken spawn to be lured in.
"They really are rushing over…" It was a scary thing. The high number of kraken that were rushing toward the bay. Between the two sides, they enforced could see there were smaller ones that had recently hatched and the slightly larger ones that had been eating for some time. Luckily there was not larger one meaning that the mother kraken had not actually been able to have multiple generations of eggs.
The bubbles that rose from the waters only began to increase. Some kraken spawn fought over the food while some just fought to fight. "Alright. It only took a minute but I don't see anymore trying to push their way in." Alma could tell the water around where they were had calmed. Not a single kraken spawn had noticed the enforcers silently waiting around the waters' edge to fire their arrows.
"I'm ready when you are." Su felt a tap on her shoulder and waved the torch before dropping it. The enforced pulled back the wither spike arrows which had been filled with the tiny seeds of the razor whip weed. The process that Gil had set up was perfect. When the arrows hit the water the force would cause the arrowhead to fall apart. The idea to cut away the pieces just a little was what had spawned the seed releasing arrow head.
Since Alma was going to be manipulating the seeds as they grew faster than normal, she had infused them with her mana. She had also done some minor crossbreeding to make them sharper. This would deter the kraken spawn even more. Every single ocean monster and animal had the instincts to protect themselves. Especially from the painful seaweed that had evolved to be able to resist them.
The pause while the seeds sank was making every second feel more and more tense. The enforcers watched as the kraken spawn attacked where the arrows had fallen only to find nothing there to attack. But the impressive part came when Alma raised her hands.
A pulse of Alma's mana went out in to the water disturbing the kraken spawn even more, But what resulted that everyone couldn't look away from was not the kraken spawn, but the growth. Green razor thin pieces of seaweed sprouted up and were covering a large surface of the water between the two ends of the bay.
The alight waves were enough for the seaweed to whip back and forth. The thin size of it made it move much more violently and made Su understand why it was known as razor whip weed. Alma stumbled a little and Su was quick to lift a mana potion to her lips. The process of making all of the razor whip seeds grow even faster than the blue ivy she had was fantastical.
What was really drawing their attention was the new sounds of pained screeching and red water that was coming from the kraken spawn. It was clear that they were not happy to find that they were not able to escape the way they came with the food they had caught. But even more, they were starting to realize there was blood in the water. Food was food. The kraken spawn did not care about what kind or where the food came from. Now they were able to feast and rushed to get to the hurt and dead kraken spawn.
Alma looked to have finished setting up what she needed and started to fall. Another enforcer came and held her up while Su prepared her shields. They were going to be rushing back to the docks where the main attack was beginning. The razor whip weed would be fine for now.
Walker dismissed the lure orbs he had made to add to the attraction of the bait. He saw the massive amount of razor whip weed form and was glad that Su and Alma succeeded. "Gil, it is time to get Remey's potions going. Remey! Now!" Walker shouted to the opposite side of the docs and saw Remey shouting in turn to some of the merchant guards.
In the next second the sky was filled with arrows, javelins, spears, and even more or Remey's potions. The calm set in for just a breath before they hit the water and the kraken spawn screeched out in pain. This wasn't the end through. Remey's potions burst in to an orange light that caused the saltwater to foam and froth. Large waves grew around and came up to the makeshift walls. Everyone ducked to hide from any retaliation that could be coming from the kraken spawn.
Before anyone else could move for the second wave of long range attacks, there was a battle roar from above. A familiar pure water dragon elder plummeted from the sky with her mouth open and water elemental mana surging around her.
