I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Chapter 479
10-65. Odd Shape
The body, which had already transformed to an unsettling extent, continued to deform further.
It underwent a complete transformation from the six-legged creature with three layers.
The Voice of the Land condensed the body into a small, singular mass.
But it didn’t stop there; it now flattened and swelled grotesquely.
Amidst the wriggling flesh, the shape of a beast emerged.
Then, a monstrous face appeared beside it.
This process repeated itself, and finally, a body composed only of the faces of beasts, monsters, and strange creatures was formed.
Each one seemed to possess its own consciousness, barking, howling, and growling.
A horribly grotesque presence had manifested right there.
<????!!!!!!>
A scream that couldn’t be expressed in words echoed.
They all leaped simultaneously.
“Holy sh-!!”
“S- ? Slowly? !!”
Kaching!!
Karna’s abilities were deflected.
“Eh…!? ? Slowly?!”
Once again, it was deflected in the same way.
For some reason, her abilities didn’t seem to work on that entity.
Such a situation had never occurred before, causing confusion.
Fortunately, their movements were not particularly fast.
At that moment, a Spear Tornado was launched from above towards The Voice of the Land.
Since the target was large, it was easily hit, but it bounced off the seemingly soft flesh.
“The f-!? Are you kidding me!?”
<??!!>
“Whoaaaaa!?”
An explosion was directed towards Theik.
As a result, he let go of the staff he held in his left hand.
Theik’s body began to fall.
And the place he’s going to fall is right above The Voice of the Land.
“Oh shi-!!”
<??!!>
“Theik-dono!!”
Uchikage, who noticed the crisis, stepped forward to help Theik.
But it wouldn’t be an easy feat.
Immediately, various faces turned their fangs and unleashed magic like water and flames to block Uchikage’s advance.
“!? I’m slower!?”
His movement speed was decreasing.
Even though he was currently using Kijin Herculean Legs, he was clearly slower.
This must be the ability of The Voice of the Land.
While wearing a bitter expression at this fact, he focused on helping Theik.
Dealing with each attack one by one he isn’t fast enough.
He had no choice but to push himself a little further and avoid only the magic that came flying at him, crushing the faces of the creatures underfoot.
Using them as stepping stones, he leaped and headed towards where Theik was about to fall.
In the meantime, whips and spells were flying at him, but he dodged them all.
If it’s not Uchikage, it would have been impossible to pass through this gap.
So, Uchikage was the only one who could save Theik.
Theik also noticed that Uchikage was coming and reached out his hand.
He was close to falling, but he managed to grab his hand and leaped up.
But… Theik realized something terrifyingly light about himself.
“!!”
In Uchikage’s hand, Theik’s arm was indeed held, but there was no strength left in that arm.
It was the mechanical left arm hanging there.
The body… was gone.
“Theik-dono!!!”
When looking back, there was a large monster’s face that had just swallowed something with a gulp.
It seemed to have a highly elastic body, extending its neck to search for more prey.
” ? Kijin Yamikage? !”
Kchang!
The darkness dispersed, and the skill was forcibly canceled.
He didn’t understand what had happened for a moment, but he quickly understood the situation and retreated.
He clicked his tongue and regrouped with Roze.
“Damn it!”
“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know. I hope Theqil gave him a tool to escape from that monster…”
“Anyway, let’s deal with its stomach.”
“I agree. But our skills don’t work.”
“Huh?”
Using any skill against it resulted in being deflected.
Long-range and close-range combat skills seemed to work fine, but debuff-type skills had no effect at all.
At that moment, Yurie and Karna returned.
“My skills don’t work! Be careful!”
“Just as expected…”
“Yurie! What happened to Pacc!?”
“The Battle Horse managed to take him away somehow! That little guy is really something!”
Roze felt relieved. Dragon species were generally very resilient, so there was no worry of them dying, but as their caretaker, she couldn’t help but worry. She didn’t know the Battle Horse was so capable, but those two had already become like friends. She would never abandon them.
“Well, let’s try to dissect its belly somehow. It seems to have hardly any scales left, but each head might have unique monster abilities.”
“My skills were deflected too…”
“Yes. There’s probably a head in there with the ability to deflect debuff-type skills. It’s quite troublesome… but long-range and close-range attacks seem to work. Just be careful, as they will use magic too.”
“Then, should we aim for that area?”
Yurie, who had finished listening to Uchikage’s explanation, pointed her finger. It was a relatively less crowded area on its side.
It was the opposite side from the head that had eaten Theik, but it was certainly an easier target.
First, they wanted to confirm whether their attacks would penetrate or not.
If their attacks didn’t work, they would have to come up with another plan.
In that case, they would have to strike when its mouth was open.
“Let’s go then.”
“Alright! Let’s do this!”
” ? Quickly? !”
Karna granted Yurie a skill. Her body became lighter, and she was surprised by the unexpected speed.
“Thanks, but you could’ve warned me!”
She carried her battle axe, maintaining that speed as she charged in.
Uchikage joined her by her side.
“For now, Yurei-dono has the highest offensive power. I’ll provide support, so hit it as hard as you can.”
“I was planning to do that without being told!”
Magic came at the two of them.
Uchikage created a black mass in his hand and released it.
” ? Yamibaitai?!” (Dark Medium)
Thump thump
It devoured all the magic.
He recreated it and threw it towards The Voice of the Land.
Like a bullet, it flew and embedded itself in The Voice of the Land.
“??!!”
Many faces immediately turned towards the dark medium, as if trying to consume it.
But at that moment, needles resembling sea urchin spines grew from the dark medium, impaling all the approaching faces.
“The attack works!”
“That’s great news! Let’s go for it!”
They approached The Voice of the Land.
Immediately after, the nearby faces all attacked at once, but Uchikage cut them down, creating an opening.
Stepping forward, she raised her battle axe.
With the right timing, she swung her arm, putting all her strength into it.
” ? Ichinenshou?!” (Continuous Thrust)
As the blade of the battle axe touched The Voice of the Land’s flesh, an impact ran through it.
The accelerated battle axe sliced through the flesh dramatically.
Blood splashed out like a fountain, some of it landing on Yurei.
“Ah.”
“!? Why didn’t you run passing through it!?”
She had forgotten.
She was so focused on attacking that she completely forgot about the creatures’ blood ability.
The straw-like mouth protruding from The Voice of the Land inhaled.
“Khhyaaaaa!”
Crackakakakakaka!
The spurt of blood exploded like firecrackers.
