Chapter 619 (2/2)

I could see that our escape route was being gradually cut down. It reminded me of the attack of the thread user, Fermus, that we had faced in the martial arts tournament.

『This is bad! At this rate, we’ll get trapped in the wall of tentacles!』

「Muh!」

A large number of tentacles were not coming from below but all sides. If we continued to struggle, we might get trapped in the tentacle dome.

Fran whipped her tattered body to increase her speed even more. Her face was contorted in pain.

Shit! I wish I was in better shape!

But it was right after I thought that.

『Hmm, wait… Could it be!』

I hurried to check my status.

『I knew it! Just a little more!』

If we do it right, I might be able to recover at once.

『Magic stone――… I don’t have any of it, huh!?』

Yes. I just checked the self-evolution section. If I could get another 50 or so magic stone values, I would be able to rank up.

However, I didn’t have any magic stones in my dimensional storage. There were a few goblin corpses, but that was not enough to get 50 magic stones value.

『Fran, do you have any magic stones in your storage?』

「Nn…」

No, wait.

『I know a guy who might have magic stones! Fran, just hold on a second!』

「Nn!」

I left Fran’s hand and descended the water surface.

「Zelyse!」

「W-who!?」

I don’t know how far I could fake it, but I ran up to Zelyse with the doppelganger that I created with my alter creation.

「If you have any magic stones, give them to me! It might even save your life if it works! Besides, we’ll let you off the hook for now!」

「Eh? Eeh?」

「Hurry!」

「Aah, damn! I don’t understand, but I don’t want to be here anymore!」

Zelyse was confused for a moment, but I guess he also knew that it would be difficult to escape on his own. He decided to take my word for it, even though he doubted it.

He then pulled out a medium-sized magic stone from his pocket. He seemed to have a bag of items in his robe.

With just a snap of his wrist, Zelyse threw a magic stone at my doppelganger. It was probably a magic stone from a magic beast with a threat level of C or B.

「Take that, you thief!」

「Haha! I’ll take that!」

When I received the magic stone, I turned my back to Zelyse so that my body could become a cover, and absorb it with my main body. Well, a little thought about what I was doing would probably expose it though.

「Here it comes!」 『Here it comes!』

My tattered body was restored at once, and I could feel an enormous amount of magic power flooding into my body.

Moreover, the backlash from using the Divine Attribute had disappeared as well.

『I’m fully recovered!』
