Chapter 644 (2/2)

Sierra’s condition was pretty dangerous, wasn’t it? Zelos Reed then ran to him in panic and held him in his arms. He seemed to be unconscious.

Zelos Reed himself was in tatters from continuously receiving the rays of the Great Magic Beast, but Sierra’s attack’s backlash must have been even more severe.

Well, it didn’t mean that I had the time to worry about others either.

「…Muh」

『Fran, are you okay?』

「…The backlash is just a little more severe…」

『I see… Actually, I felt the same too…』

「Nn…」

Without our Levitation skills, we would have fallen into the lake long ago. That was how bad the backlash was. Even with Life Magic and Divine Power Manipulation, we were in this kind of state.

The thought of not having those skills made me break out in a cold sweat.

「Master can’t recover yet?」

『Yeah, I’ve used the Divine Attributes on top of Potential Release after all. My durability value hasn’t recovered at all…』

I had less than 100 durability values left. I really would be a piece of junk for a while.

I think I’d spent about 5,000 magic stones worth to use the Potential Release this time. Well, I didn’t regret it though, because it seemed to have helped us to connect with the other side.

「Woof!」

「Urushi」

Urushi ran up to us while dragging his paw limply.

Among us, Urushi was the one in the best condition with only a broken paw.

「I’ll heal you now」

「Woof」

『Urushi, I’m counting on you for the time being』

Both Fran and I were extremely slow to recover from our injuries. In our current state, we couldn’t even fight properly.

「Woof!」

「We’re counting on you」

『For now, let’s see how’s Sierra and the others going』

「No, you need to get out of here right now…」

『Rhyn?』

Where was she? I could only hear her voice… I couldn’t even tell where she was with my newly acquired Spirit Detection skill.

「I just can’t maintain my form anymore. But somehow, I managed to deliver my voice to you…」

「Is it because of connecting this side to that side?」

「There are many other reasons too, but… It was the price I had to pay for seeing too far into the future… Rather than that, you guys need to get away from here…」

I didn’t know what was going on, but I didn’t feel comfortable letting the struggling Rhyn talk anymore.

Even in such a condition, the fact that she went to the trouble of telling us this indicated that we really needed to get away from here.

「Urushi」

「Woof!」

We decided to get away from here without even checking what was going on.

Note: My editor got involved in a car accident and was unable to do his part until next week, this chapter was the last one he had edited so you’ll need to be patient until he recovers.
