Rescuing Lloyd (Chapter 246)

Meanwhile, Lloyd’s situation was racing toward its end.

—Bind his limbs tightly, and bring the Gu poison.

The enemy tower’s mages forced Lloyd’s mouth open.

When he saw the Gu poison being pushed toward him, he heard a sharp snap inside his head.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already pulled on the threads of space.

“……”

Thud, thud.

Two fingers and a single insect dropped to the floor.

The severed edges were as clean as though cut by a master smith’s forged blade.

“…What?”

Dane stared blankly at what had fallen.

Only after the pain hit a beat later did he finally grasp what had happened.

“Gaaahhhh!”

While Dane staggered from the sudden strike, a fierce wind surged, flinging away the mages who had been holding Lloyd down.

“……”

The enemy tower’s mages swallowed hard as they looked at the man who had appeared in the center of their formation.

The man in a white robe stood upright, back and chest straight.

It was as if he had been standing there all along, blending naturally into the background.

“……”

Through his fading consciousness, Lloyd looked at the man who had caught him.

Because of the backlight pouring down from the sky, his face was hidden.

But before he lost consciousness, Lloyd heard the man’s gentle voice.

“When you wake up, it’ll all be over.”
