Chapter 649 (1/2)

「Eh?」

Countless tentacles then tangled around Zelyse’s body.

The tentacles that Rhyn had blown off had grown back.

Of course, Zelyse and Nameless had been evading it all this time as well. However, I pushed Zelyse down to the tentacles that were aiming for Urushi.

I don’t expect this to take him down, but it will buy us enough time to escape.

「Tsk!」

Zelyse twisted his body in an attempt to shake off the tentacles that were wrapping around his body. He must have thought that he could escape from it, but it didn’t seem to be happening.

Zelyse held on in the air, trying not to get dragged down. He seemed to have redirected his magic from regeneration to it as well and used his magic to repel the tentacles that are crawling around him.

He couldn’t seem to get permeable instantly in that state.

This was a chance to get rid of him, but…

『Not even a little left, huh…?』

「Muh…」

「Grrr…」

Urushi was the only one left with the strength to attack. His wounds were also getting better after Fran and I sprinkled as many potions as we could on him.

However, Urushi must unleash his magic from a distance to leave some energy to escape.

We couldn’t force Urushi to push himself now that he was exhausted from unleashing his secret move before.

「Ghaah! Shit shit shit―!」

Well, Urushi’s magic must have been quite a nuisance for him. But we couldn’t stay here any longer.

「Kukakakaka! You look like a fool! Zelyse!」

「Just help me already!」

「Kukakaka!」

We ran out of time. Nameless has reached here.

Even Urushi, as expected, would not be able to defeat Nameless while carrying and protecting Fran and me on his back.

We should escape while they’re off guard. Urushi knew this and was slowly retreating.

However, it was just right after that.

An unbelievable scene unfolded before us.

「Kukakakaka! You want my help that badly?」

「Ghah!?」

「What’s wrong, you look so strange? Alchemist-dono?」

「…Ha, hahaha. It seems you can still make a joke at a time like this…」

Instead of helping Zelyse, Nameless suddenly grabbed Zelyse by the neck while giving him a deafening loud laugh as it applied more power into its hand.

Zelyse responded with a pained look on his face, but he was still showing an attitude as if he still had some room for leeway…

「Hmm? I’m not joking though, Zelyse」

「Ghuh…!」

A dirty-looking aura, like a black sludge on a puddle, then overflowed from Nameless’ arms.
