massively hypersonic speeds so often.
"Had too much time resting. This is nothing." Gunpowder tries to play though, but just to make sure, you share some of your energy with him as you expel your healing powers to him.
Telling Guts to sit behind you, you hold the middle of your trident as you repurpose the undines into a double ended hose, widening the passageway from the lung to the Sea God's heart by cutting at his flesh with highly pressurized water. A wide slash that let the pressurized gusts of wind escape into his heart.
As Gunpowder gallops at full throttle, your vision becomes pure darkness as your stallion blasts through the darkness, creating your own tidal wave as the three of you turn into a living bullet, piercing through meters and meters of the kraken's innards despite it's resistance. Every bone in your bottle rattles as it ignored all your constitution, three living legends pummeling the living hell of this colossal creature from where it's eyes won't see.
The three of you finally reach to where it's heart resided, a large cave, where the pulsating organ the 10 times your size is seen a few steps away. Gunpowder stumbles as he tries to break the fall, as Guts tries his best not to behead you and him as the dragonslayer flies above your necks.
There it lies. A heart, with several veins pulsing with electricity, keeping you away like an invisible forcefield. Several eyelids appear to stay closed around it's aorta. Somehow, for some sort of miracle, the sea god has still not awakened.
However, as if knowing it's imminent danger, the hemorrhage from your entrance at his chest begins to flood your surroundings. His blood, acid to the touch as if it was his stomach juices, made Gunpowder jump to higher spots, afraid of being melted away. Guts tries to speak to you, but his voice is unintelligible in-between the beating of it's heart.
God, that noise, that maddening noise! A second of silence followed by an eardrum shattering thump, the mere fact of blood being in it's veins poses a threat to you and to all around the sea. You are all stunned and shell shocked by half a second as your movements become delayed. Guts tries to reach for his dragonslayer, but becomes increasingly slower as he exhausts himself from just standing still, resisting the hypnosis from the demonic heartbeat of the leviathan.
"What a beautiful melody... Telling you to rest easy... While inviting me out to hunt..." You think the one speaking to you is Guts, but on closer inspection, you find the beast of darkness gambling on the opportunity, hoping to see Guts fail to complete this voyage without tapping into the Berserker Armor's power.
