I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Extra Chapter 111
4-31. Assassin
I pursued Ouren, but I couldn’t see his figure at all.
I hadn’t spent much time following him… It seems like he’s really fast.
Uchikage-Ojiicha seems to be keeping up, but it’s going to take some time for us to catch up!
Why did he suddenly start running?!
“Mom!? Why did Ouren start running!?”
“I’m not sure.”
“I don’t get it either! Did he figure something out!?”
“Don’t you understand anything with Amariaz’ ‘Spatial Awareness’?”
“It’s a bit difficult to grasp while running!”
Even for short distances, it seems like you have to stop and concentrate for long-range detection.
We might understand if we get closer…
Not knowing the situation ahead was scary.
Although the two ahead seemed to have it under control, I’d prefer to stay close.
But why did they leave us behind?!
I need them to protect me!
“Alright, both of you.”
“Huh, what? Mom?”
” ?Quickly? .”
As Mom muttered that and directed her hand towards me and Amariaz, our running speed suddenly increased.
I was surprised for a moment, but I had experienced this before.
Quickly remembering the sensation, I braced my feet and accelerated by pushing off the ground.
Now with Mom beside me, the three of us were running together.
The way they run is cool.
No, not that…
“If you’re going to use magic, at least tell us first, Mom!!”
“But we can catch up like this, right?”
“That’s true, but!!”
“So this is Karna-san’s skill. I see.”
Oh, I see, this is Mom’s skill!
Is it a high-speed movement skill?
Amariaz seemed to somewhat understand what it was about, but I had no idea.
I’ll ask for more details about the skill later.
Thanks to the increased movement speed, we were able to leave the cave much faster than I expected.
Sliding on the ground, braking, and killing the momentum from running.
We arrived at the Drag Mountain, still burning as usual, but there I heard the sound of Mom unsheathing two swords.
Amariaz also created his “Air Pressure Swords” and took a stance.
I reacted a bit late, but there were many presences outside the cave.
There was the presence of Dacia, who had brought us here, but the other presences were not the devils.
Raising my head, I saw many humans and one angel within my field of vision.
All the humans were wearing the same robe, and it seemed like they all wore the magical armor made by a person named Thekil.
Evidence of this was the faint light leaking from under their robes from the core part.
They all held their favorite weapons, and all their blades were pointed towards us.
Immense hostility.
It was reminiscent of the man’s presence directed at us five years ago.
And… the angel hovering with spread white wings looked down on us with contemptuous, cold eyes.
Wearing white clothes with golden fixtures, it seemed like easy-to-move attire.
While there seemed to be no defense, they held a large shield and a longsword.
It looked heavy on their slender hands, but they handled it effortlessly, suggesting that they might have more strength than it appeared.
“This is quite a flashy welcome.”
“Is this the time to be saying that, Ouren…! Cough…!”
“Are you okay?”
“*Spit! The dice roll was bad…!”
Grimacing in pain, coughing up blood, she complained.
It seemed that the angel’s forces had been gathering here since the seal on Ouren was released, or even before that.
There were already several humans lying on the ground.
Until now, it seems Dacia had been dealing with them alone, but she seems to have taken a powerful blow within that time.
Her body is already in bad shape, with bleeding evident in various places.
It seemed she could barely stand, and with everyone gathering, she seemed to let her guard down, now kneeling.
Her breathing was heavy, but it didn’t seem like she had received a fatal attack.
“Hmm, an elder Oni with skills, a devil with skills, two children, and a single evil god. If we take these back, they should be very useful for research.”
The single angel said in a relaxed tone.
“But we don’t need the woman.”
As if that statement were a signal, the humans around us immediately lowered their postures and rushed forward.
Amariaz and I, along with Mom, tried to deal with them immediately, but Ouren stopped us.
“Hold on a moment.”
“Huh, but…!”
“No, I just wanted to try coordinating again after a long time.”
“Coordinating?”
“Yeah, Uchikage.”
“That’s right.”
As the enemies approached moment by moment, Uchikage-Ojiichan skillfully put on his arm guards.
With a clatter, he lowered his rake claws and rolled up his sleeves.
Ouren took out a magic bag from his pocket and pulled out a weapon from it.
It was a white Katana.
Judging from its size, it seemed to be a wakizashi, which he quickly fastened to his waist.
Ouren cut the air with a downward slash.
At that moment, Uchikage-Ojiichan disappeared.
“Well then, shall we give it a try?”
