Chapter 649

Eh?

Countless tentacles then tangled around Zelyses 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 Urus.h.i.+.

I dont 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 didnt 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 couldnt 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

Urus.h.i.+ 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, Urus.h.i.+ must unleash his magic from a distance to leave some energy to escape.

We couldnt force Urus.h.i.+ to push himself now that he was exhausted from unleas.h.i.+ng his secret move before.

Ghaah! s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t!

Well, Urus.h.i.+s magic must have been quite a nuisance for him. But we couldnt 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 Urus.h.i.+, as expected, would not be able to defeat Nameless while carrying and protecting Fran and me on his back.

We should escape while theyre off guard. Urus.h.i.+ 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!?

Whats 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 att.i.tude as if he still had some room for leeway

Hmm? Im not joking though, Zelyse

Ghuh!

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

Just looking at it made me feel an uncomfortable sensation in the depths of my mind.

I think Ive seen this somewhere before Aah! Ive seen it before on the floating island! It resembles the hatred that overflowed from that Lich!

However, this one is several levels more terrifying.

The hatred then crawled around Zelyses body and gradually covered him.

Sh,it, ?

Zelyse raises his Magic Sword, Zelyse. However, the sword did not respond at all. It was as if it had become a mere sword.

Eh?

Kukakaka! Kukakakakaka! Thats too bad! He doesnt want to help you

Thats ridiculous

Lets just soak you up with hatred and make you my servant Hmm? Really? So, youre saying you cant forgive him for his very existence?

With whom did you talking to!?

Kukakaka, with whom, you ask? With your other self of course!

At Nameless words, Zelyse looked down at the sword in his hand. It was right after that.

Well, whatever. I just have to retrieve that sword

Nameless took the magic sword from Zelyse. However, the sword was not resisting it at all. If it was an Intelligence Weapon, it should even be able to attack on its own

However, there was no sign of the sword rejecting Nameless.

Even the sword finds you annoying! Kukakaka! You have a look on your face that says you dont know why!

W-why!? I thought we were supposed to understand each other

You should have understood what its like to lose a human body, dont you? For the sword Zelyse to be the only one, your existence must be like an eyesore for him

Haha, I see. Becoming a sword must have made him feel like a different being after all

I dont dislike your eagerness for curiosity, but To achieve my goal, your existence is still an eyesore. You shall die for us

Crack!

When Nameless put more strength into his hand, Zelyses neck was crushed with extreme ease, and his head fell.

Farewell, you mad alchemist

When Nameless let go of its hand, Zelyses body fell toward the Great Magic Beast. It seemed that he was not dead yet, but he was indeed unable to move.

And just like that, he was captured by the tentacles. While being entangled and compressed by the tremendous force, Zelyse was swallowed into the Great Magic Beast.

The sound of crus.h.i.+ng flesh and bone sounded as if the Great Magic Beast was chewing its food.

I couldnt feel any hint of Zelyse or even the slightest hint of his life force anymore.

Was he dead? That resilient Zelyse was?

But we couldnt even afford to get confused here.

Woof!

Urus.h.i.+ let out a warning at us.

Kuh! Terrifying magic power was swelling around where Weena Rhyn is! Its coming!

We left the scene as fast as we could before Nameless came to us.
