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 118
Houen The Phoenix (Shuzaku), Lize The White Tiger (Byakko)
5-1. Seal Suppression, Seal Release
Between continents lies the Terraome Strait, a warm stretch of sea running south from the north.
The environment here has drastically changed due to the seal of the Phoenix.
The Phoenix, sealed within the sea, prompted the indigenous people to leave long ago.
The villages near the sea have been lost, their traces vanished over four hundred years.
The Phoenix possessed the power to burn everything to ash, even underwater.
Its skill, “Endless Inferno,” was a remarkable ability that could burn indefinitely, even in water.
The area where the Phoenix was sealed was crimson, surrounded by eternal flames.
The presence of the Phoenix slept within a spherical barrier filled with flames.
Angels, relieved to find it sooner than expected, flew with tools to break the seal.
“It’s best to deal with the most troublesome one first.”
With these words, a small angel retrieved a silver key from a magic bag.
This key could remove the most troublesome ability of the Phoenix.
Certainly, among them, the Dragon was likely the strongest.
However, in terms of vitality, the Phoenix surpassed all.
Even when killed, it could turn to ash and resurrect, restoring even magical power.
Unlike the Dragon, killing the Phoenix wasn’t enough, it had to be sealed.
Fighting such an opponent indefinitely was out of the question.
Without ashes, the Phoenix couldn’t resurrect, thanks to those who sealed it in this location.
Even if the “Seal Suppression” ability didn’t work on the Phoenix, the swift currents would scatter its ashes.
Now, the Phoenix could be dealt with.
Although it was a task they didn’t want to spend time on, it was essential since the enemy faction had found a way to nullify the “Seal Suppression” ability.
The silver key was dropped onto the seal containing the Phoenix.
It pierced through and slowly turned, breaking the seal.
The collapse erased the area, flooding it with seawater, causing a massive explosion.
Even the four angels flying in the sky stumbled, but they managed to regain their composure and vigilantly watched the explosion site.
With the seal broken by their hands, they knew they had successfully killed the Phoenix.
Since nothing happened despite their vigilance, one of the angels sighed in relief.
“Phew… Thank goodness…”
“What’s wrong, were you scared?”
“Of course, aren’t you terrified?! We might have had to fight something that huge!”
“Yeah…”
Although it was hard to tell now that they were flying, the Phoenix was indeed monstrously huge, almost like a small island.
Dealing with it was something they didn’t want to imagine.
But in any case, they had successfully killed the Phoenix.
However, using the silver key here was painful.
That magical tool could break the “Seal Suppression” ability without risk.
Reconstructing the silver key would take some time.
Although the research team was undoubtedly working diligently, it seemed they wouldn’t be able to use it for a while due to the many necessary components.
So, their next plan was…
“Alright, let’s deal with the resurrected Dragon.”
“Can we do it?! I think it’s impossible!”
“We just need to buy time.”
This was one of the strategies discussed among the angels.
While they waited for the silver key to be reconstructed, they had to delay the resurrected Dragon somehow.
And simultaneously, they needed to search for the Son of Reizen and the child with skill.
They had few tasks, but each was highly dangerous and challenging.
They had to navigate them carefully to avoid death…
It seemed like a bit of a challenge.
“Bwhaaaaa! What the -?! What the hell is this?!”
“”””!!!?””””””
Suddenly, a child’s voice was heard from the sea.
It seemed they were struggling in the water with short limbs, gasping for air.
Two of the angels sighed in relief.
They thought something serious had happened upon hearing the sudden voice, but it was just a child.
Their nerves relaxed, and their thoughts scattered.
However, the other two angels were shocked by the bizarre sight.
Since a child shouldn’t be coming out of the sea, is what they thought.
Then, what was that?
After taking a deep breath, the child slammed it fist onto the sea surface.
At that moment, flames spread around them, and with the impact, the child leaped into the air, spreading fiery wings.
“What…?”
“Seriously?”
They had never seen anything like it.
But they were familiar with that skill.
“Why aren’t you dead?”
One of the angels spat with a genuinely hateful expression.
