Chapter 619 (1/2)

「See? I told you to just run away…」

「Rhyn?」

「It’s already too late… I never thought that it would actually happen…」

『Rhyn! What are you saying!?』

Rhyn continued her words as she suddenly appeared in front of us.

「Thank you… Fran. It was thanks to you that the great magic beast only made an incomplete resurrection…」

「Did Rhyn… do that?」

「Yes」

Fran couldn’t believe it, but Rhyn, with a look of guilt on her face, clearly affirmed it.

「But why?」

「I really wanted you to get away… If you manage to survive, tell Weena Rhyn. Tell her to get prepared… Well then, goodbye…」

Rhyn said one-sidedly, and as usual, she suddenly disappeared too.

Zelyse was still unable to shake off the tentacles.

「Shiiiit!」

I wondered why he wasn’t using his permeability power, but apparently, he could not activate it properly.

It seemed that only a part of his body was in its permeable state. In fact, some of the tentacles had passed through Zelyse’s Body.

However, not all of his body was permeable, so one of the countless outstretched tentacles had wrapped itself around Zelyse.

Even if it succeeded in penetrating one part of his body, it would fail to penetrate the other parts, and he would end up being caught by the tentacles.

『Fran! Urushi! Let’s get out of here!』

We’ve got to get out of here as soon as possible.

「Nn!」

「Woof!」

「AAAAAAAAAA―!」

With Zelyse’s screams at our backs, we left the scene at full speed.

I tried to use teleportation to get away from here at once―――but it failed.

『Eh?』

「?」

It was not that the teleportation failed to activate. It was just that the teleportation didn’t happen as it was supposed to.

If it had been true, we would have escaped at once to tens of meters above the surface, but we only moved a few meters to the side.

When I considered the fact that Zelyse, who was in a permeable state, was being held by the tentacles, there must be something in the area that was disrupting Space-time Magic.

Was this the work of Rhyn, the Spirit of Time?

『We have no other choice, we have to run by ourselves!』

「Nn!」

「Woof!」

In order to escape the countless transparent tentacles gushing out from the floor of the temple, Fran and Urushi jumped up at once in an aerial jump.

They kicked in the air, dodging the tentacles that attacked them, and sometimes intercepting them with magic. However, although we were able to knock away the tentacles, they were multiplying faster than we could handle.

Moreover, she couldn’t use Brilliant Lightning Rush due to exhaustion.
