Chapter 255: 255
"Boy, I'll try again!" Evelyn exclaimed and she started to cast the teleportation spell once more . Moreover, she did it while on my back .
I hummed as a reply and focused on the monsters coming . Berserk monsters hungry for food and thirsty for mana rushed towards us after feeling the enormous amount of mana Evelyn was using in her spells .
From now onwards, my job is to keep Evelyn safe until she successfully cast the spell, or until she runs out of mana and we have to hide again .
I did not even pay attention to the first monsters that arrived . Just a group of little monsters in the sixth, seventh, and eighth layers were not enough even as a warm-up . I moved around them evading their slow attacks and carrying Evelyn on my back, completely unruffled .
However, stronger monsters did not take long to arrive . Less than fifteen seconds later, a powerful surge of energy flew towards us from behind .
I narrowed my eyes . Without looking behind, I stepped aside and evaded the breath-like attack . Then, I kicked one of the monsters that were attacking us, crushing its head and using it to jump away .
Just when I disappeared from my position, a tailwhip-like attack crushed the place where we were just a moment ago .
Looking behind me, a giant snake was hissing bloodthirstily while its red slitted pupils followed our movements .
A twelfth-layer monster!
And it was just the first of many! Similar presences were quickly approaching our location!
At that moment, Evelyn opened her eyes .
"I'm ready!"
With a shout, the magic circle below our feet lit up brightly and started the process of teleportation!
But just like before, it was stopped by a layer of energy that attacked it!
Evelyn grunted . The barrier appeared again, stopping the energy . But as though telling Evelyn it was completely useless, The energy crushed the barrier once more .
Evelyn smiled while blood trickled down her lips .
"Hahaha! I understand! I was going the wrong way! Claus, I need one minute! I will modify the barrier into a spiral shape and use it to penetrate the layer of energy!"
I smiled while avoiding the attack of an ape monster . "Don't worry, you have all the time in the world . "
Evelyn smirked and hugged my neck tighter . Then, she closed her eyes to modify the spell .
Because she had just modified it, the changes Evelyn needed to do were not very complex . She just changed some variables related to shape and added another related to movement . Her goal was to turn the barrier into a drill that could break through the energy layer and allow the teleportation spell to reach the coordinates in our world .
Meanwhile, I continued evading the monsters' attacks . I keep my focus on them to make sure that none of their attacks hit Evelyn while I used as little mana as possible to 'save' mana .
By this point, another two twelfth-layer monsters had arrived . Moreover, the new monsters did not fight between each other for the right to eat us and instead cooperated to bring me down . It seemed that they were thinking of killing us first before deciding how to divide the booty .
One minute passed quickly under the attacks of the monsters . Evelyn once more opened her eyes and started to cast the spell .
When the magic circle appeared, the monsters seemed to become crazier . It seemed that one of the newcomer monsters managed to identify the function of the spell and knew we were planning to escape!
Evelyn bit her lips . She looked at my focused face with an expression of guilt and accelerated the casting of the spell . In seconds, the magic circle lit up once more .
But this time, when the energy layer surged towards the teleportation spell, a drill-shaped barrier appeared around it, blocking the energy and at the same time drilling through it to break until the other side .
Sweat flowed down Evelyn's forehead . She could feel the strain on her mental powers . Controlling the magic circle while at the same time fighting against the energy was incredibly draining .
But when she remembered I was struggling right now to keep her safe, she gritted her teeth and endured the headache .
"Ahhhh!!!" With a cry, the energy layer was broken!
"Success!" Evelyn beamed, but in the next instant, the mana in the teleportation spell was used up .
"Damn it! Breaking through the energy layer uses too much mana! Even if I can break through it, I will be unable to teleport us to our world . Instead, we will fall in the void of space!"
"Then we just need to cast the spell again after that . " I smiled .
Evelyn was stunned, then, her face brightened .
"I'm an idiot!"
Without hesitation, she cast the spell again!
But suddenly, a powerful and ancient-sounding voice came from the mouth of a monster, accompanied by overwhelming pressure .
[So it was you . ]
Instantly, my expression turned ice-cold .
Evelyn paled feeling the presence, but she managed to continue casting the spell . She knew our life and death could be determined by if we were able to teleport away or not .
