Chapter 645

Translated by Tods

Really sorry for the long delay, but (I hope) were back on schedule now!

I instructed Urus.h.i.+ to get away from the Great Magic Beast. And immediately after, the Great Magic Beast released a tremendous amount of magic power from its body.

Grrrhaaaah!

All the mouths screamed wildly and twisted their huge bodies as if they were in pain.

Kyain! (Sfx dogs whimper)

Guh!

Being exposed to the wave of magic power that the Great Magic Beast released from its entire body, Urus.h.i.+ shrieked and pushed his magic barrier to its full strength.

Having exhausted our powers, Fran and I were unable to do anything, we had to rely on Urus.h.i.+ for the time being.

Urus.h.i.+, do your best

Do your best, Urus.h.i.+!

Grrrrr!

Urus.h.i.+ made his barrier even thicker as he held his ground.

Grrrr

At the same time, we could see tens of thousands of tentacles being produced from the body of the Great Magic Beast, that twisted and writhed around chaotically.

From time to time, its tentacles would even hit our barrier, but Urus.h.i.+ gritted his teeth and tried to withstand it.

But rather than being on a rampage, the Great Magic Beast seemed to be in pain and was struggling to overcome it.

Aghaaaaah!

It getting bigger

Is it because Rhyn has been separated from it?

The Great Magic Beasts rampage has become even wilder than before. The wounds we had inflicted were still there, but they had become relatively small because of the swelling of the Great Magic Beasts body.

I couldnt find Rhyn anywhere, but if she had been separated from it, then it was no wonder that the Great Magic Beasts power had suddenly increased.

She was the one who had sealed and weakened the power of the Great Magic Beast after all.

Ugrooaah!

W-wha!?

The wave of magic power subsided, but now the swelling of the Great Magic Beasts body began to accelerate. However, there seemed to be something odd with it.

I heard a sound that was similar to flesh being torn apart, and along with it, I saw that the body of the Great Magic Beast was tearing itself apart. A large amount of reddish-black liquid then overflowed from the torn places on its body and started spreading all around. Was it its blood?

It was clearly suffering from the damage. However, the tears were quickly regenerating and new ones were being created. During that process, the Great Magic Beasts body continued to swell.

It seemed that it was trying to force its way out of the seal, wasnt it? Until now, the Great Magic Beast had been trying to get out of the weakened seal little by little and escape without forcing it.

However, the situation had undergone a sudden change. As a result of the disappearance of Rhyn and the fact that she was the reason it was weakened, the Great Magic Beast seemed to have prioritized escaping from the seal as its top priority. This explained its strange behavior.

What do you think, Announcer-san?

Yes. I have the same opinion

Isnt this dangerous then?

This thing was only at the size of its arm right now. The five of us wont be able to defeat it even after putting all our might into our attacks when it has fully resurrected.

What if it were to be fully resurrected, albeit somewhat weakened?

Wed need the power of Weena Rhyns Ougi to put a stop at it as soon as possible. She should have already started preparing for it.

(TLN: Ougi, secret technique a.k.a Ultimate or Super in game terms)

But I wouldnt be surprised if Weena Rhyns attack might even get us involved in it as well!

Woof!

I didnt know what Fran thought of Weena Rhyn, but my opinion of that woman had been pretty low.

On the other hand, though, my opinion of Rhyn, who I had been somewhat distrustful of, has gone through the roof.

I think Im a bit of a simple-minded person.

However, there was a figure blocking Urus.h.i.+s path as he tried to escape. It was obviously trying to block our way.

The shadow called out to us with an easy-going att.i.tude that seemed to be out of place under such circ.u.mstances.

h.e.l.lo, Fran-san! Would you mind lending me that sword for a moment?

!!

As I thought, he wasnt dead that time!

Zelyse

The person who was there was a handsome young man with a grin on his face as he pointed his rainbow-colored magic sword Zelyse to us.

The man who spoke to me at that time. Thats the incarnation of the sword or something, right?

What are you talking about?

Fufu. If you dont want to tell me, thats fine. Im sure I can figure it out by taking that sword apart

Fran let out a chilling killing intent at him after hearing his words, but she doesnt try to slash me at him. After all, we were too battered to do anything serious now.

Besides, Zelyse wasnt alone this time.

Next to him, a magician in a black robe floated silently.

But the fact that I could only feel a faint magic power from it was kinda unsettling.

From inside the jet-black robe, the empty eye sockets of a skull stared at us.

The skulls face didnt seem to be a mask. But belong to a real undead. The quality of its magic power was clearly different from that of a human.

Moreover, it doesnt seem to be a normal undead either.

The two holes in the skull looked as if they were filled with bottomless darkness. There was a strange sense of dread as if something sinister was about to overflow out of the darkness and swallow us whole.

Fran felt a s.h.i.+ver run down her spine. Just like me, she must have sensed something.

The lack of familiarity and the viciousness I felt just by looking at it told me that it must be a strong undead.

What I couldnt understand was that he was undead, but he had the skill and reason to conceal his power himself.

Kukaka

The creepy undead laughed in a shrill voice.

Kukakakakaka! I never thought Id see you in a place like this!
