I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Chapter 480
10-66. Internal Destruction
Yurie, who had been blown away violently, still had blood clinging to her.
It burst multiple times, causing her body to convulse.
Even after being slammed into the ground, the bursting did not stop.
The dry sound continued to echo.
“Yurie!!”
< I’ll go!>
With strength in her legs, she approached Yurie at an incredible speed.
This agility, which could only be used when taking on the form of a monster, was as fast as Uchikage’s, if not faster.
By the time she got closer, the bursting sound had ceased.
She immediately attempted the Great Heal spell, but noticed that there was still some blood remaining.
Paaang!!
<Gyah!!>
A particularly large burst occurred, striking Lize in the face.
She quickly recovered and then treated Yurie.
Her body was in shambles, but the Great Heal spell would mend it all.
However, it seemed Yurie had lost consciousness and didn’t wake up.
“Is it this one?”
Uchikage discovered a straw-like mouth.
She carefully shredded it into pieces and left dark medium around as a souvenir before retreating.
Sharp thorns were sticking out, causing screams.
For now, this should prevent the blood from bursting.
She clicked her tongue at the thought of a monster with such an incredible ability.
“Roze-dono!! Provide support!”
“Ukh… understood!”
She is really worried about Yurie, but prioritizing the battle was necessary.
She immediately used magic to repeatedly attack.
All of her attacks had penetrating power, but the rubbery face-like creature seemed to defend against them.
However, damage was being dealt to the creature’s face, and it continued the task of eliminating each shot one by one.
Uchikage also attacked while avoiding the line of fire.
He used his exceptional mobility to slash the creature’s faces one by one, although there were a few close calls.
But he managed to hold on with the help of dark medium.
“Humph! It’s endless!”
No matter how many he cut, different heads kept facing him with bared fangs.
It seemed that Roze’s attacks were no longer of concern.
As he tried to reposition herself and kick off to jump, a mouth grew on her head.
“Whha!”
Two mouthed monsters.
Panicking at such a conveniently timed attack, he quickly withdrew his foot and kicked off with the other to disengage.
He heard a crunching sound as jaws snapped shut behind him.
He threw Dark Medium there and impaled it.
After landing on the ground, he readied his weapon and charged in again.
However, his legs wouldn’t move.
“Guah!?”
“Ghua-gu-gu-gu-gu…”
Worm-like creatures gnawing its mouths from the ground had ensnared Uchikage’s legs.
Sharp fangs dug in, causing intense pain.
He immediately tried to pry them off with his claws, but in an instant, his body was lifted up.
“Gah!!?”
“Gu-gu-guuh”
Snap.
The leg that couldn’t bear the intensity… was torn apart.
The sharp pain transformed into a searing heat.
“Ghuh!?”
It slammed his body onto the ground.
His leg seemed to have been torn off.
But Uchikage remained calm and immediately tried to stop the bleeding by tightly gripping his leg.
The lower part of his leg is no more.
Confirming this, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
He wanted to leave this place immediately, but with only one leg, he wouldn’t be able to kick off the ground properly for movement.
“Uchikage! Grab on!”
“Thank you!”
Karna, who had been waiting, came over and carried Uchikage on her shoulders.
They left the area and went to Roze’s side, where Karna assisted in stopping the bleeding.
Maintaining her composure, she quickly conveyed what had just happened.
“Be careful of the ground… it attacks from underground.”
“I understand… kh- it hurts.”
Karna sprinkled some liquid on Uchikage’s leg and tightly bound it with the cord from her robe.
It seemed that this would stop the bleeding if left for a while.
After completing the emergency measures, Karna assessed the current situation.
Only Karna, Roze, and Lize remained capable of fighting.
The injuries sustained by Yurie and Uchikage were severe.
Furthermore, Theik, who could unleash powerful magic, had been swallowed up.
The situation had become one where their fates were uncertain.
Lize hadn’t fully recovered her magical power.
She had used a considerable amount of magic to heal Yurie, so she couldn’t engage in battle properly at the moment.
“Roze… What should we do?”
“Well… Let’s see. We played a part in delaying them, but the extent of our exhaustion is unexpected. Well, I was prepared for a tough fight against voices and all…”
“Even if we wanted to escape…”
“Seems like enduring might be the only option now.”
Roze’s water magic didn’t seem to be very effective.
Karna’s abilities were of no use, and she couldn’t slow down the enemy’s movements.
As they pondered their next move and prepared to endure, something unexpected happened.
The voice of the Land swelled.
Looking at the expanding The voice of the Land with a baffled expression, they wondered if it was going to transform again.
They couldn’t afford it to become even stronger, as their forces were already depleted.
However, something seemed strange.
Sounds were coming from inside The voice of the Land.
“What is it?”
The voice of the Land, composed of various faces, struggled as if it was confused.
But it seemed there was no way to deal with the abnormality from within, so they had no choice but to watch it swell in silence.
Then, air started to escape from some parts.
Furthermore, those areas exploded, widening the wound.
“Bweeeeh!! It’s disgusting!!”
“”Theik!!” Theik-san!!”
From that wound, Teek emerged, rolling around.
Karna quickly grabbed Theikby the neck and brought him closer to Roze and Uchikage.
“””YOU STINK!!!”””
“It can’t be helped from where I came from, you know?”
< ? Shower? >
She poured water over Theik to wash away the mucus all over his body.
While at it, Karna also washed her hands with the water.
Theik explains while washing his body.
“Well, when I was swallowed, I used the storage space to escape. So I had Thekil to repair my arm and make a bomb. It took me a while! My bad-kay~! Uchikageeeee!? Your legs! ! Legs!!”
“It was just a failed attempt.”
“You’re surprisingly calm!!”
“But you’re really lucky to still be alive. I thought you were dead.”
“Focus on your own well-being, idiot!”
At that moment, groans could be heard.
<?!! ?!!>
The voice of the Land was shrinking.
It was quite resilient to have survived all that.
However, its limit might be approaching soon.
The same applied to them, and they wanted to defeat it as soon as possible.
“Since we have more people who can’t use their abilities now…”
“But having Theik around is helpful. My attacks don’t have enough power… “
“Then use this. It’s my spare. Go for it.”
“Huh?”
What Teek handed over was a magic power amplification device.
“And use it to store magical power.”
“What is this for?”
“No time for explanations! Just use it! With this, you can cast magic with the same power as mine!”
“That’s very helpful!”
She decided to give it a try right away.
She channeled their magical power into it and used the amplified magical power to create water bullets.
Despite being just water bullets, she were extremely powerful due to their high density.
But she transformed the water bullets using magic.
Into the most penetrating magic…
” ? Water Winchester? !”
Although it was a magic that could only be used one shot at a time, its firepower was exceptional.
Moreover, the magical power that could be stored in the magical power amplification device had increased.
Its form was the usual small bullet, but the magical power contained within was several times greater than usual.
Tentatively firing it, they saw that it pierced the voice of the Land at an invisible speed.
A large hole opened up, and the ground behind it burst.
“Holy-!”
“That’s impressive. So, Roze, you and I will hold this place!”
“Understood!”
The two of them readied their staff.
Theik held a floating magical tool prepared by Thekil in his left hand.
And he floated up.
Now it was a critical moment.
In their hearts, they activated their skills just before a spear of flames pierced the voice of the Land.
