Chapter 53

"I guess this was it's true form." I looked at the palm sized worm in my hand that was currently asleep.

On its body were glowing runes made with mana that pulsed at regular intervals.

After hitting it with an attack that disintegrated most of its cells, it reverted to this form and feel into a deep sleep.

The damage, both from me and whoever created it, was too severe and at this point, only time could heal it.

"Which is precisely why we need to use time magic to deal with it." But I'm in a fantasy world and happened to know someone capable of using said magic.

"Hmm?" The barrier that surrounded me disappeared and I almost plummeted to the ground and quickly started flapping my feet to remain airborne.

"If you're going to dissolve a barrier mid air, then tell someone beforehand." I stashed the worm in my pocket and was about to leave when a sudden chill fell upon my neck and I swung my body around and blocked my head with my arms.
