I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 619

?See? I told you to just run away...?

?Rhyn??

?It’s already too late... I never thought that it would actually happen...?

?Rhyn! What are you saying!??

Rhyn continued her words as she suddenly appeared in front of us.

?Thank you... Fran. It was thanks to you that the great magic beast only made an incomplete resurrection...?

?Did Rhyn... do that??

?Yes?

Fran couldn’t believe it, but Rhyn, with a look of guilt on her face, clearly affirmed it.

?But why??

?I really wanted you to get away... If you manage to survive, tell Weena Rhyn. Tell her to get prepared... Well then, goodbye...?

Rhyn said one-sidedly, and as usual, she suddenly disappeared too.

Zelyse was still unable to shake off the tentacles.

?Shiiiit!?

I wondered why he wasn’t using his permeability power, but apparently, he could not activate it properly.

It seemed that only a part of his body was in its permeable state. In fact, some of the tentacles had passed through Zelyse’s Body.

However, not all of his body was permeable, so one of the countless outstretched tentacles had wrapped itself around Zelyse.

Even if it succeeded in penetrating one part of his body, it would fail to penetrate the other parts, and he would end up being caught by the tentacles.

?Fran! Urushi! Let’s get out of here!?

We’ve got to get out of here as soon as possible.

?Nn!?

?Woof!?

?AAAAAAAAAA?!?

With Zelyse’s screams at our backs, we left the scene at full speed.

I tried to use teleportation to get away from here at once???but it failed.

?Eh??

???

It was not that the teleportation failed to activate. It was just that the teleportation didn’t happen as it was supposed to.

If it had been true, we would have escaped at once to tens of meters above the surface, but we only moved a few meters to the side.

When I considered the fact that Zelyse, who was in a permeable state, was being held by the tentacles, there must be something in the area that was disrupting Space-time Magic.

Was this the work of Rhyn, the Spirit of Time?

?We have no other choice, we have to run by ourselves!?

?Nn!?

?Woof!?

In order to escape the countless transparent tentacles gushing out from the floor of the temple, Fran and Urushi jumped up at once in an aerial jump.

They kicked in the air, dodging the tentacles that attacked them, and sometimes intercepting them with magic. However, although we were able to knock away the tentacles, they were multiplying faster than we could handle.

Moreover, she couldn’t use Brilliant Lightning Rush due to exhaustion.

I could see that our escape route was being gradually cut down. It reminded me of the attack of the thread user, Fermus, that we had faced in the martial arts tournament.

?This is bad! At this rate, we’ll get trapped in the wall of tentacles!?

?Muh!?

A large number of tentacles were not coming from below but all sides. If we continued to struggle, we might get trapped in the tentacle dome.

Fran whipped her tattered body to increase her speed even more. Her face was contorted in pain.

Shit! I wish I was in better shape!

But it was right after I thought that.

?Hmm, wait... Could it be!?

I hurried to check my status.

?I knew it! Just a little more!?

If we do it right, I might be able to recover at once.

?Magic stone??... I don’t have any of it, huh!??

Yes. I just checked the self-evolution section. If I could get another 50 or so magic stone values, I would be able to rank up.

However, I didn’t have any magic stones in my dimensional storage. There were a few goblin corpses, but that was not enough to get 50 magic stones value.

?Fran, do you have any magic stones in your storage??

?Nn...?

No, wait.

?I know a guy who might have magic stones! Fran, just hold on a second!?

?Nn!?

I left Fran’s hand and descended the water surface.

?Zelyse!?

?W-who!??

I don’t know how far I could fake it, but I ran up to Zelyse with the doppelganger that I created with my alter creation.

?If you have any magic stones, give them to me! It might even save your life if it works! Besides, we’ll let you off the hook for now!?

?Eh? Eeh??

?Hurry!?

?Aah, damn! I don’t understand, but I don’t want to be here anymore!?

Zelyse was confused for a moment, but I guess he also knew that it would be difficult to escape on his own. He decided to take my word for it, even though he doubted it.

He then pulled out a medium-sized magic stone from his pocket. He seemed to have a bag of items in his robe.

With just a snap of his wrist, Zelyse threw a magic stone at my doppelganger. It was probably a magic stone from a magic beast with a threat level of C or B.

?Take that, you thief!?

?Haha! I’ll take that!?

When I received the magic stone, I turned my back to Zelyse so that my body could become a cover, and absorb it with my main body. Well, a little thought about what I was doing would probably expose it though.

?Here it comes!? ?Here it comes!?

My tattered body was restored at once, and I could feel an enormous amount of magic power flooding into my body.

Moreover, the backlash from using the Divine Attribute had disappeared as well.

?I’m fully recovered!?
