Chapter 216: Unexpected ally. (2/2)

Theseout in rapid succession She did notwounds Even then she continued to get close all the way until she was in close quarters co so close…could she be…’

Roland wasn’t sure why Melaina was rushi+ng into danger this ed attack it made sense to keep distance and use it h multiple tentacles at once and posed a real threat to the monster That is if she could fire it off repeatedly

‘Is she tired or soht but wait… I don’t recall seeing her in the te back to the te the woman there He focusedthe leeches inserted into them There was a small pile of people that had already passed to the side which he did not examine as much

‘Could that be it? Is it still inside her head or did she get it out?’

He didn’t really have the chance to check on the affected people yet The cultists chased hiht be having proble or had removed it at a cost Would she be able to defeat theto force her way through thea few e creature Her sword finally shot out towards her enely things Yet the sword stillthe monster's main body

The creature let out aabout It seee that it for itself by calling back the appendages that it spread through the underground of this village

“We must run away, now is our chance”

Roland turned to the voice frouard captain that was somehow still alive The caravan oas also there and the one theyanyone else

“Shouldn’t we also go?”

“Aye…”

Orson looked to Dalrak, the coast was clear and they could escape now Even if the woolden order didn’t win they would be able to survive It didn’t seee body that fast If they got out of the range of its many tentacles they would be safe

The other re to the sides So woods while others went back to the wagons The aniht could still be used for a faster escape

“That girl is going to die”

Grisalde co, it see slower by the second She was like a candle flahtest before it dies Perhaps she had an ace up her sleeve but from outside it looked like her stamina would run out faster than theabout, you idiot? Even if she is going to die, ill you do?”

Senna asked while backing away, she was not willing to stay for ht choice as there was no way anyone here could intervene in a tier 3 battle They were in separate worlds, they would only be turned to the enerate

“I didn’t say I would do anything, you twerp…”

Grisalde did the sa that she could do here either It was better to live to fight another day, everyone seereement as they started to back away but one of them stepped forward

“Wayland?”

“Hey where are you going, that’s where the squigglywith the others as they saw Roland step forhile placing a geo ahead I won’t be far behind, I just need to do so first”

While he realized that what he was about to do wasn’t the sain an ally If he just left and this knight here died he worried that the Abyssal cult would just ransack this place The creature was probably created to keep this place a secret and it would most likely destroy the relic that caused those illusions to happen

Roland was getting tired of running away It never really solved any probleer he didn’t face reality the worse the future would be He would not be surprised if the cultists got ahold of the passenger list of this caravan and then started assassinating each one of them after this was over

How could he prevent this fro a low profile for another couple of years or giving the cult other things to worry about Their biggest secret was this cursed relic of theirs Without it, they would not be able to carry out their assassinations If he could help this woest asset would be exposed

While he had inserted the gem into his armor it was not as powerful as he had hoped for To deliver a et closer Luckily his enemy was preoccupied with the blond churchthe tentacles intoon so to cope with that radiant blade of light

"There he goes"

The sroup of adventurers looked at each other while Roland et closer to thewhat their new friend was trying to achieve After activating all of the cloaking spells that he had in his possession he slowly snekead towards the center of the battle area The closer he got the more outlandish the battle see around yet the woman even in her weakened state was able to bat them aith the help of her swordsrand skills besides the ranged attack she performed a few times It ords on to keep herself going Regretfully the decrease in speed was starting to be noticeable, even though thecut she was unable to find the core to finish it off

‘This thing’s weak pointlocations…’

If this monster was similar to a slime then it had some kind of core that if destroyed would cause it to die But while slimes were transparent and their core was easy to spot, this thing was pitch black withits core in such a chaotic battle would be alical energy could be the best choice

“Hey I don’t knoho you really are but if you can hear e!”

Finally, he found his opportunity to strike The sae spell was activated, and the runes started burning into the ain as they shi+fted fro overloaded His Goliath Slayer title was probably increasing his dae as the creature out-leveled hi on the front where the aura user was so he decided to aiht for its back

The wide drill-like beaain but noith evenpotions he decided to go for broke Previously he took his entire mana pool below fifty percent noould push it further down The energy arcs gained in thickness as they continued to destroy the ground he was standing around as he continued to pump out his spell

But to his surprise, a bunch of tentacles shot out just in time to protect the monster’s body fro the attack he drilled itself into those thick rubber-like appendages before breaking the as the strain on his body had gotten too high and a splitting headache caused hi explosion rocked the entire area and it was quickly followed by another huge screa from the ain but instead of dying it continued to flail around those tentacles that were now on a collision course with the one injuring it

Before the h the person on the other side counter-attacked as well The h, her swordspeed to connect with the now exposed weakened spot During the explosion, it had becoolden blade made from aura

Almost as if time had stopped, the tentacles halted their advance Roland, who had stumbled down to one knee, looked up to see a pointy spear of dark flesh just a few centi into dust as if it was burned away by a massive fire The moment the monster’s core was destroyed its life was over, it could not even groan as it disintegrated before his eyes

The battle at the village finally reached its conclusion and the two responsible for it were looking at each other One was an unsuspecting runesmith that didn’t want to stand out and the other was a supposed guild worker that just carade a test
