"Release it all and fire!"
As soon as Catmod said those words, all of the magicians who are still charging their magic skills imdiately throw what they are currently charging up. Explosions occurred and the ground shook like it was about to start an earthquake.
I didn't bother to release an attack as I focused on maintaining my mana transfer to my familiars. But again, the guy that appeared on my mind appeared once again with a smug grin on his face.
"Heh, you still haven't taken a rest, why don't you leave it to them? You are overstraining yourself. Are you that eager to die?"
"You again? Can you just leave alone?"
"Oh? Do you really think you are alone? Don't you reconsider as part of you? I even helped you during your blood loss while sealing that rift and no thanks at all? Quite cruel aren't we?"
"I still don't trust you. Guys like you always have so sort of ulterior motive when it cos to things like that. I think you are one of those devil rchants that asks compensations like half of your life in exchange for power."
"Well... you are half right and half wrong. But you can say that I am similar to them but I am not as cruel as them. Anyways, I am just trying to persuade you, but I think you are not going to listen anyway. Adios and live on so that I also don't die," he said and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
As soon as my focus was back to the battle, I saw the blood-red chains that are tying down the demon priest was forced to lessen the grip. The demon priest overpowered its might.
"FOOLISH HUMANS! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU IN THE NA OF LORD SHADOW AND OFFER YOUR BLOOD AND FLESH TO HIM!"
All of a sudden, countless of black colored tentacles appeared on the ground and started grabbing our legs.
"F*ck, what the hell are these things?!" Titan tried to rip the tentacles off from his legs but it was proven hard and just started to stretch instead.
The tentacles also grabbed my legs and it was too slippery to hold and the longer it stays in the skin, the more it releases so sort of viscous liquid that stings and burns in the skin. The skin in my legs seems to start to lt and it hurts like hell.
"Get off you shitty tentacles off my legs!" I heard Rena shouted and her eyes started to glow blue and her legs started to freeze. Likewise, the tentacles also start to freeze.
Yaya's teddy bear also got destroyed on its leg since it was just made from cloth. This triggered Yaya's anger seeing her teddy bear lt in the blink of an eye.
"What the hell?! Ruining my teddy bear?! All of you monster tentacles will pay for this! I will fry you all to the grill and turn you all to charcoal!"
Everyone was struggling and even I had a hard ti dealing with it. I already recalled Yuri, Yuto, and Inari-sama out from the tentacles so that they won't suffer injuries since they have already suffered a lot during the initial battle against the demon priest.
The only person who is not affected by the tentacles is Anya since even Maple who is guarding Anya against the attacks were also attacked by the tentacles and was currently busy cutting the tentacles that tried to grab her legs.
"Anya!" I shouted.
"Stepfather, do you need so help from ? I know how to get rid of them since Father already show how to remove those tentacles and to also stop them from attaching to your body. They will just have no choice but to flee and stop attaching to you."
"Huh? You have seen these tentacles before?" I was confused. I thought they were the power of the Demon Priest.
"They are normal inhabitants in this world, Stepfather. According to Father, they are called wrigglers. They live underground and eat soil nutrients. They are docile and harmless normally but they are easily manipulated by magic power that is why anyone who can use control magic will be able to control them and manipulate them to your bidding. And on top of that, the liquid that they spew out of their tentacles can be considered as acid and can be fatal if used in living creatures as they were used mainly to lt stones and soil to convert them into food," Anya explained while she bit her thumb and started writing a simple pentagram symbol on my hand.
Without anything else, I was surprised when the tentacles that were supposed to attack started to lose its will to attack and returned to the ground. My legs' skin is lted to the point that the flesh is about to reveal the bone. Anya takes out one bottle as big as a mineral water bottle but only made of glass of what I presu to be a dicinal liquid that I looted before and was stored inside the mimic.
"Drink this dicine. It was made from miracle fruit that can be used to heal all manner of wounds whether it is fatal or not."
I am no longer surprised to see dicine like this. With magical things scattered around the world and just in Japan alone, it was quite obvious there will be a thing like this too. I opened the bottle and without blinking and hesitating, I gulped down the dicine. Of course, I didn't bother to drink them all. One gulp is enough and the wound started to heal.
"Anya, can you tell how to do what you did?"
"Yes, it was quite troubleso if we are being held by these monsters."
The thod was just simple and it didn't involve any kind of troubleso things that will make you troubled morizing. In fact, this is just a simple drawing matter. It just needed a little bit of blood of the caster, and then draw the pentagram.
I looked into the demon priest and currently, Raigaki is fighting against him. Seeing the demon priest is quite preoccupied with him, I imdiately started using the thod and deal with the wrigglers and giving out dicine to everyone affected. While doing these things, I just realized that if I have the control of these tentacles, we can defeat the demon priest as soon as possible. I don't have manipulation magic but I have soone who can help gain it.
"Hey Blue! I know you are in there, can I ask you sothing?"
"Manipulation magic right? I already heard that in your thoughts. Fortunately for you, there is one but I doubt you can learn it in just a few minutes or hours. You need a few years of experience and trial and error."
"I am in a hurry, I needed to learn it as soon as possible. Give it to !"
