「It seems you’ve learned the Life Magic, haven’t you? But you didn’t seem to have used all of it though…」

Rhyn looked at me in surprise when she saw me come back to Fran. Then she suddenly nodded with a satisfied look on her face.

「Oh, so it was Sword-san’s ability」

『Eh? No, how to put this…』

「Aah sorry, I just looked at the past, that’s how I know it」

『…』

「Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone」

It seemed that being able to see the past didn’t just mean that she could understand the past, it also meant that she could see what happened just a moment ago.

『A-anyway, next time we’ll get serious!』

「Nn!」

『Shaving its power little by little will only tire us out. So, let’s put all our strength into this one last attack』

「Okay!」

As we were discussing our next attack, the Great Magic Beast then suddenly emitted a particularly powerful magic power from its body.

「Oobeeeyy Meee!」

『It’s moving… and its magic power is…』

「It seems to be swelling even more…」

There was a clear change in the movements of the Great Magic Beast. Until now, the tentacles had been intertwined and were continuing to grow, but as soon as they stopped moving for a moment, they began to violently thrash around.

It wasn’t just the physical and magical aspects of the Great Magic Beast that had changed.

「Is it watching us?」

『Yeah…』

I don’t know where this thing’s eye was. It may not even have eyeballs, and it may only sense us through magic or life detection, but its awareness was definitely on us now.

Until now, I doubt it even knew we were here. We were probably just like small flies before.

But now, it seemed that the Great Magic Beast had clearly recognized us as an enemy.

「It’s sucking the magic power out of the water…」

『Water? Do you mean the lake water?』

「Yes. And unfortunately, the Great Magic Beast also has my power as a spirit in it, that must be why it can do that」

Rhyn was a Spirit of Time and Water. And the water of Lake Vivian contained the magic power of the Space-Time attribute.

It seemed that the Great Magic Beast was taking advantage of Rhyn’s power to absorb magic power out of the lake water.

『But wait, you know how the water in this lake contains space-time magic…?』

「It was because of me and the great magic beast」

『Well, that explains why it has such a high affinity!』

The swelling of the great magic beast’s tentacles increased in intensity, and gradually changes began to appear all over its body. Masses that looked like bumps began to appear all over the great magic beast’s body.

The huge masses then swelled up and grew in number. I could sense that each of them possessed a considerable amount of magical power and evil spirits.


Was it preparing some kind of attack? If so, this could be quite dangerous then!

Facing the increasing pressure, I put up layers of barriers to protect Fran. But my prediction was wrong.

It was clear that the great magic beast had recognized us as an enemy to be defeated, but it had not yet taken any direct action.

「Obeey Meee!」

『Kuh…!』

「!!」

The magic power of the great magic beast, which had been slowly increasing, increased several times in an instant. I even involuntarily teleported us backward and distanced ourselves from the great magic beast.

It was just such an explosive release of magic power and hostility. I could feel it was releasing its strong malice and hostility towards us.

It scared me. It wasn’t just fear of losing Fran. I was afraid of being that close to the great magic beast myself.

『Urushi, come over here too!』

「Woof!」

「…It has lots of mouths」

『Yeah…』

It was just as Fran said.

The great magic beast’s appearance had changed drastically and mouths had sprouted all over its body. The bumps of mass had now been transformed into the shape of a mouth. It was almost similar in shape to that of a human mouth.

It was only about a tenth the size of the first huge mouth that grew on the top of its body, but it looked exactly the same.

It was probably more than a hundred by now.

It was just like the image of Tata〇, the goddess that has numerous small mouths all over her body…

(TLN: I don’t get what author-san is referencing with タタ〇神)

「「「「「――Fire Arrow」」」」」

「Master!」

『Yeah!』

Just as the multiple overlapping chants echoed in our surroundings, a large number of fire arrows filled the space around the Great Magic Beast.

Over a thousand fire arrows are directly pointed at us, Sierra and Zelos Reed.

Immediately after, our field of vision turned crimson. The continuous sound of explosions then continued to echo without a pause.

If it hadn’t been for my multiple activations of Flame Barrier, both Fran and I would have been burned to a crisp.

The Fire Arrows, which had been activated by the great magic beast, were all fired at Fran and the others at once.

No, it wasn’t just any multiple activations. It used an overwhelming amount of magic as if hundreds of magic users had unleashed their magic at the same time. It seemed that each mouth on the body of the great magic beast was capable of chanting magic.

『The control over its magic is… seems to be fine…』

We are dealing with a great, extraordinary magic beast after all. It probably has magic control power that was far beyond our imagination. As for its magic power, it seemed to be almost inexhaustible. At the very least, as long as there was water in the lake around it, it doesn’t have to worry about its magic power even if it repeats that kind of attack 1000 more times.

「Muh!」

『Dammit! It even used a magic bullet and its tentacles…!』

「More incoming!」

『I know!』

It launched another barrage of Fire Arrows. And just like before, it also aimed magic bullets and its tentacles at us.

Up until a moment ago, the Great Magic Beast seemed to have given top priority to its resurrection and hadn’t been paying much attention to us. The tentacles and magic bullets were probably not a clear attack on us, but an unconscious defensive action. Just like a cow swatting a fly with its tail.

In other words, it could also send out its tentacles alongside its magic attack at us.

『If we don’t attack it now, we’ll only be crushed by the sheer volume of its attacks!』
