I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Chapter 482
There’s a lot of concernig news that caused by teens recently, hope ya’ll not doing anything dangerous out there.
10-68. Hard Struggle
A deafening roar resounded, shaking the earth.
The ground heaved, lava flowed, and the soil that supposed to be controlled raging around
It seemed that both lava and mountains were the voice of the Earth’s allies.
Chunks of earth, brimming with self-consciousness, moved as if they were laughing, cascading like an avalanche.
At that moment, a sharp slash sliced through the mountains.
The approaching soil lost its magical energy when cut and transformed into mere clumps of earth, falling to the ground.
They fell into the lava, igniting the surroundings.
“Alena!”
” ? Juu Kajuu? !” (Heavy Weight)
“Tch!”
“Reizen!”
“Match it with mine-! ? Bakkuken? !” (Explosive Fist)
” ? Water Dragon? !”
Reizen leaped from Lacc’s back and approached, riding the Water Dragon I had conjured.
He unleashed an Explosive Fist directed toward the voice of the earth.
An Explosive Fist charged with maximum magical power.
Since Reizen absorbed the magical energy of the Water Dragon, its firepower was twice as potent as before.
A thunderous roar echoed, vibrating the air.
I felt a shock akin to being struck in the gut.
It appeared that the voice of the Earth had attempted to defend itself by moving the soil, but Alena’s Heavy Weight hindered its movements.
The full force of Reizen’s Explosive Fist hit it directly, sending it flying.
However, it managed to regain its composure in mid-air and reached out toward the ground once more.
” ?Daichi no Shin? .” (One Who Govern the Earth)
With a rumble, eight arms and octagonal pillars of earth emerged while shaking the ground.
It swung its arms widely, attempting to sweep us away, but I wouldn’t allow that.
Standing on Lacc’s back, I had Alena use Heavy Weight to make my shoes heavier.
I’m sorry, Lacc, but I need you to endure this.
“Mitaki-ryu! As calm as water ? Tenwari? Launch!”
Zan!!
The movements of the voice of the Earth came to a halt.
Its arms were severed, and it turned into clumps of earth, falling to the ground.
The eight floating pillars also crumbled in the same manner.
It seemed that the voice of the Earth couldn’t maintain them without activating it.
I really don’t want to take that attack again!
I’ll finish it off in one strike!
By the way, Hiwa’s Mitaki-ryu is amazing!
The sharpness is off the charts!
Hiwa’s power that entered me as magical energy seemed to have infused all of Mitaki-ryu into my body.
I could understand how to handle the sword and use my body as naturally as breathing.
Using it like it’s second nature felt a bit strange, but it’s still handy!
Alright, let’s continue like this!
“Ahhhh! Add more! Add more, please!”
“Ah, my bad! ? Water Dragon? !”
I quickly created two more and directed them toward Reizen.
With the switch and a source of magical energy secured, Reizen formed a clenched fist again.
“Alright, this should work!”
“It’ll work! I’ll disrupt the Voice of the Earth’s abilities, and Reizen will focus on the attack!”
“That’s right! But Alena, slow down the speed of the attacks for us!”
“Leave it to me!”
“All right, we’ve got this!”
Reizen put on the gloves he received from Theik and equipped them.
When he exerted his strength, it was even more powerful than before.
I was currently fighting as White Dragon. (As the representative I guess?)
I had to keep my guard up to avoid hitting Lacc’s wings.
Alena was handling incoming attacks and slowing down the Voice of the Earth’s movements.
It seemed like it was struggling on the other side, with all its abilities being disrupted, and it was getting frantic.
Finally, it began creating its own earth weapons and arming itselves.
“Stubborn bastard…!”
“You’re goddamn though! Just die already!”
“Hey, Reizen, watch your language. ‘Bescumbers!’* It sounds better this way.!” (*A word from the early 20th century meaning “to spray poo upon.” or in short ‘shit head’)
“You think that sounds better!?”
<I’ll be the bait!>
“That’s dangerous, Lacc!”
Yeah, but that won’t change the fact that we need to defeat them!
Well, if we get too cocky while we’re winning, we might end up in a tough spot, so I’ll stop taunting it for now…
“By the way, Reizen, how are you riding the Water Dragon? It’s water, you know?”
“I somehow managed to ride it.”
“Is this what genius bullshit is?”
He does incredible things unconsciously, seriously.
Well, let’s not think too deeply about this.
Now, I need to defeat this thing and pull out the Voice of the Heavens.
The Voice of the Earth created a sword from the earth and transformed it into a sharp blade, then lunged at Reizen.
“You, first.”
“All right, I’ll be your opponent!”
I ordered the Water Dragon to charge.
The Voice of the Earth dodged it and went for a direct attack on Reizen.
Reizen seemed to anticipate this and formed a fist in preparation.
The sword flew towards him, and he extended the fist to meet it.
Snap!
The earth sword snapped from the base, and the fist struck the face of the Voice of the Earth as if it were being sucked in.
“Huh-…How-!?”
“Critical hit baby~! ? Bakukken?!” (Explosive Fist)
Bhaaaaam!
Since both sides were approaching with considerable force, the impact of Reizen’s Explosive Fist multiplied several times.
The Voice of the Earth, hit directly, crashed into the mountain.
” ? Fire Dragon? .”
I conjured a hazy Fire Dragon and directed it toward the point of impact to the Voice of the Earth.
Flames surged upon impact, but it was unclear whether it had truly hit due to the smoke.
Well, that probably won’t be enough to kill it.
Seriously, its vitality is on par with a cockroach, maybe even more.
“Hey, it’s coming out!”
“…Getting carried away.”
The Voice of the Earth raised its arm.
In that instant, sharp pillars emerged from the ground and approached us.
“It won’t work! ? Pneumatic Barrier – Strong? !”
Crash!
The sharp pillars, surprisingly thin, crumbled as they collided with the barrier, shattering in various places due to the impact, making a clattering noise.
But it’s still here, huh?
In that case, I’ll release the compressed air I’ve been storing!
I approached under the cover of smoke and gently placed it next to the Voice of the Earth.
“? …gh!”
“Yep!”
Paaan!
With a dry sound, the compressed air exploded, blowing away the Voice of the Earth along with the surrounding rocks. It rolled down the mountain, shattered rocks, and finally stopped when it hit a wall.
I had been accumulating compressed air since heading toward it, so the power should be quite high.
As expected, it was blown away.
I should have made a few more of these… it was risky to have just one.
“Actually, I think being airborne is our strong suit. Good job, Lacc!”
<Don’t fall, okay?>
“I’ll do my best…”
“I wonder where the Voice of the Heavens is.”
“Yeah, that’s a good question. Maybe we should look for it.”
Searching with Haze Manipulation should do the trick. I closed my eyes and sent the silhouette into my mind.
I know that the Voice of the Earth was protecting the Voice of the Heavens, so it should be somewhere around here.
“Well, it looks like we saved ourselves the trouble of searching.”
I opened my eyes.
The Voice of the Heavens had calmly appeared.
It didn’t seem to be in great shape, but I didn’t really care about that.
I took out the Grudge Fan and put away Hakuryuu. Before, I replaced it with Hiwa-zen/mae and sheathed it.
“Well, shall we proceed as you wish?”
