Chapter 647 (1/2)

Edited by Phantom0408

We’re in deep trouble.

Right now, we are about to be entangled and swallowed by the tentacles of the Great Magic Beast.

Urushi’s barrier was still protecting us, but it would reach its limit in less than ten seconds. I could feel the magic of the barrier fading rapidly.

But that didn’t mean we couldn’t escape. We could use teleport to get out of here.

The only problem was that it would exhaust my magic power for real. After that, we would be completely dependent on Urushi.

『Urushi, can you do something for me?』

(Woof!)

Urushi nodded energetically at my words. I guess he knew what he had to do.

『Alright, let’s do――No, wait!』

I just noticed that the magic around me had become strange. A strange magic power had suddenly covered our surroundings. It didn’t seem to be coming from Zelyse, Nameless, or even the Great Magic Beast.

There was no sign of hostility, rather, it was giving off a sense of security, as if it were trying to protect us.

And then the wall of tentacles that had been swallowing us began to come off as if it were going to vanish.

With a dull sound as if something was hitting us at high speed, our field of vision became clear.

『What in the world has happened…?』

「Get out of here, quickly」

『Rhyn?』

Out of nowhere, I heard Rhyn’s voice. It wasn’t a voice that was sent directly into our minds like telepathy, but it was as if Rhyn had whispered directly into our ears.

But when I looked around, Rhyn was nowhere to be found.

『I could feel her presence, though…』

I could feel Rhyn’s presence, albeit faintly. I guess it was thanks to my Spirit Detection skill.

「In a few minutes, Weena Rhyn will release her attack」

『She’s going to use her trump card, huh?』

「I’m not sure if I can help you guys anymore… But, do your best to get away from here…」

Rhyn muttered bitterly as her voice began to become inaudible. The subtle hints that I had sensed from the surrounding area also seemed to have gone away.

But now was not the time to worry about Rhyn.

『Urushi! Let’s go!』

「Woof!」

Judging from the hint of impatience in Rhyn’s voice, it seemed that we didn’t have much time anymore.

「Kukakaka! I don’t know what you’ve done to get out of there, but I won’t let you get away from here!」

Nameless, who was supposed to be entangled in the tentacles with us, had already escaped from the restraint and was waiting for Urushi.

Well, it was not going to let itself get caught up with its comrades’ technique after all!

「Rhaaa!」

「Grrrr…」

Whenever Nameless thrust its left and right fists in succession, a shockwave was generated and struck Urushi. In addition, the shockwaves were released over a wide area, making it impossible for Urushi to escape.
