The being attacking Seilook looks like a snake with many wings, and it’s many times bigger than Seilook.

“That’s a 《Feathered Snake》! It’s a familiar of the shaman!”

Yells Taula as soon as she reaches the surface.

“Eh? Familiar!? Like the one Hipopo squashed?”

“Yes, the same type. But apparently this one is more vicious.”

Seilook faces this Feathered Snake and opens its mouth wide. Inside it, magic elements are rapidly gathering and light is concentrating.

It’s the same ray of light that burned that mushroom before.

But while Seilook is preparing to fire, the snake skillfully moves its many feathers, like it’s slithering in the air.

It smoothly moves away from the trajectory of the light, and evades it.

“Eh? It dodged.”

Roa sounds surprised.

“Rust! Quickly!”

Says Master Halhammer.

“Yes! 《Activate》.”

I quickly activate several scrolls, and throw them in the air. They unravel while ascending, but unfortunately they are too slow.

The Feathered Snake has what looks like a few tentacles growing from its body, and they all fly out at the same time. I think I’ve seen this before.

“《Polish》”

I unleash a tornado with diamond dust against the tentacles closing in on Seilook. They’re just barely in range, but I still manage to rip apart a few of them.

Purple liquid is sent flying as pieces of the tentacles rain down. The color of this liquid is giving me a bad feeling.

But in the meantime, the tentacles that I didn’t manage to block wrap around Seilook.

“Pigyah!”

Seilook suddenly goes limp while caught in the tentacles.

I can tell even from here that Seilook’s round pupils are asking for help.

This reminds me too much of the first time I saw it.

“《Polish》, 《Polish》, 《Polish》!”

The tornadoes head towards the Feathered Snake, but its tentacles completely wrap around Seilook to secure it, and it dodges all the tornadoes with the same agility it displayed when it dodged the dragon breath.

With its tentacles binding Seilook, the Feathered Snake flies away, heading east.
