「It seems you’ve learned the Life Magic, haven’t you? But you didn’t seem to have used all of it though…」

Rhyn looked at me in surprise when she saw me come back to Fran. Then she suddenly nodded with a satisfied look on her face.

「Oh, so it was Sword-san’s ability」

『Eh? No, how to put this…』

「Aah sorry, I just looked at the past, that’s how I know it」

『…』

「Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone」

It seemed that being able to see the past didn’t just mean that she could understand the past, it also meant that she could see what happened just a moment ago.

『A-anyway, next time we’ll get serious!』

「Nn!」

『Shaving its power little by little will only tire us out. So, let’s put all our strength into this one last attack』

「Okay!」

As we were discussing our next attack, the Great Magic Beast then suddenly emitted a particularly powerful magic power from its body.

「Oobeeeyy Meee!」

『It’s moving… and its magic power is…』

「It seems to be swelling even more…」

There was a clear change in the movements of the Great Magic Beast. Until now, the tentacles had been intertwined and were continuing to grow, but as soon as they stopped moving for a moment, they began to violently thrash around.

It wasn’t just the physical and magical aspects of the Great Magic Beast that had changed.

「Is it watching us?」

『Yeah…』

I don’t know where this thing’s eye was. It may not even have eyeballs, and it may only sense us through magic or life detection, but its awareness was definitely on us now.

Until now, I doubt it even knew we were here. We were probably just like small flies before.

But now, it seemed that the Great Magic Beast had clearly recognized us as an enemy.

「It’s sucking the magic power out of the water…」

『Water? Do you mean the lake water?』

「Yes. And unfortunately, the Great Magic Beast also has my power as a spirit in it, that must be why it can do that」

Rhyn was a Spirit of Time and Water. And the water of Lake Vivian contained the magic power of the Space-Time attribute.

It seemed that the Great Magic Beast was taking advantage of Rhyn’s power to absorb magic power out of the lake water.

『But wait, you know how the water in this lake contains space-time magic…?』

「It was because of me and the great magic beast」

『Well, that explains why it has such a high affinity!』

The swelling of the great magic beast’s tentacles increased in intensity, and gradually changes began to appear all over its body. Masses that looked like bumps began to appear all over the great magic beast’s body.

The huge masses then swelled up and grew in number. I could sense that each of them possessed a considerable amount of magical power and evil spirits.

Was it preparing some kind of attack? If so, this could be quite dangerous then!

Facing the increasing pressure, I put up layers of barriers to protect Fran. But my prediction was wrong.
