Chapter 181: 178. The king's goal (4): The kraken
Jude has four skills, in total up until now. He never really relied on external skills and focused more on combat and his physical abilities.
Eagle eyes, energy manipulation, force shield, and support (borrowing strength to others).
'My theory worked, mixing two different energy signatures can cause a disruption in balance in the body.' Jude was pleased with the results of his actions.
He immediately looked up as he heard the sudden sound of glass breaking and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw the king descend with the a glowing Trident.
The Trident was made of a blue metal and the lines carved upon it shone brightly with a blueish white light. It hummed loudly as the king spinned it around.
He dropped his crown on the ground and faced Jude with his veil uncovered.
"You have fought hard, and fought well. But this is where you die." The king's tone became cold and Jude was boiling with anger.
"Why? Just why? Why would you do this?" Jude asked, holding the anger which was engraved in his bones.
"Why?" The king seemed confused by the question and looked around the stadium.
"I want power boy. But you wouldn't understand. With you gone, I will be the next peosidon, and I will finally have control over the entire sea. Than we shall take over the land." The king smirked, and then he suddenly appeared in front of Jude, shocking him.
'Fast!'
The king's back hand slapped Jude and he flew towards the barrier like rag doll before bouncing off and going back to the king.

The king began spinning his Trident at great speeds. Jude came back and he was whipped back to the barrier... And so it went on.
Jude was being beaten badly and the atlantians we're screaming with so much valor in their bodies. Zur was shocked that the king went down himself and instantly, he knew that Jude was going to be toyed with.
Jude began to lose consciousness, the pain was getting to his brain. Consciousness was becoming hard to maintain, blood spurted out of his mouth as he hit the top of the barrier, his blood dropping like rain.
The king enjoyed every part of making Jude feel weak and know his place.
'Once you're out of my way, I can finally step into the tomb of Atlantis and battle the kraken to claim the Trident of peosidon.' The king had a smirk on his face as he hit Jude again.
Jude's healing couldn't do much as of this moment and he had almost all of his bones broken.
The king slowly walked towards Jude with a grim expression. His look was as cold as ice and his Trident suddenly began to emit a cold, chilling aura.
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
...
The screams coming from the coliseum could be heard by people from far edges of Atlantis.
A particular atlantian lady close to the barrier between Atlantis and the ocean, wearing shimmering yellow armour suddenly looked towards the coliseum.
"Seems like the chosen one is about to be finished."
"I heard he murdered one of the atlantians on the streets."
"The brat's privileges have been diminished."
"Tsk. Just head back to your spot, watch out for the monsters."
The two guards in blue armour disbanded after their discussion and the lady looked at them curiously.
'Probably the king's plan. I wonder how far he's willing to go to get Peosidon's power,' the lady thought as she sighed and then she looked back and continued watching the ocean.
...
As everyone in the coliseum we're urging the king to kill Jude quickly, Zur stood up and began to walk away.
Lilian gave a last glance at Jude before getting up as well and walking away.
All of a sudden, the people began to scream as they saw something approaching the ocean's floor, directly above the coliseum.
The king raised up his Trident to stab Jude and Jude was already feeling the coldness emitted by the Trident.
His entire body was bloodied and even his face had dozens of cuts. His remaining eye which wasn't damaged looked up above the coliseum into the ocean and he saw something which made the remaining eye go wide.
The king, seeing this reaction and hearing screams from the stadium, he looked up and then he was surprised.
*BOOM!!*
A creature broke through the sea bottom and entered into Atlantis. A loud roar reverberated throughout the surroundings and then the woman at the edge of Atlantis, upon seeing this looked to the guards.
"Watch the barrier! Don't let the monsters in!" She shouted before she flew towards the coliseum in a haste.
Other knights like her too all hurried towards the coliseum.
...
The creature landed in the middle of the coliseum, breaking the barrier above the arena.
Jude was utterly terrified by the appearance of the beast above him which had a towering body. It had a humanoid body and hundreds of tentacles from it's waist, it was massive, with it's tentacles wriggling around as it moved.
It swiped a tentacle at the king at a very great speed and then the king gritted his teeth as he jumped towards it and he struck the creature with his Trident.
He landed on the floor and looked back to see that he only left a scratch on it's body which faded away and he was whipped into the walls of the coliseum, collapsing one side.
The creature wrapped Jude with a tentacle and then it looked around. There were seven Nagas coming at it from full speed from all directions and it looked at the citizens in the coliseum and jumped back up into the ocean before it shot in one direction.
The king crawled out of the rubble and soon seven Nagas appeared in the coliseum where the creature was.
The king walked back to his throne, boiling in anger.
"Take her and check if she's alright." The king pointed at Sarin who was defeated by Jude and the seven knights came towards him first.
They all knelt down and the king analysed them. They all had colourful armours of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
'So the Kraken has been awake all this time. This is very bad.' The king thought and then he raised a brow.
"I said take her and check is she's alright." He repeated himself and the first knight in red armour went ahead to carry Sarin.
