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 124
5-7. Side -Houen- To the Devil Castle
Spreading my wings of flame, I soar swiftly through the sky.
The speed is tremendous,with the blink of an eye, I could disappear from sight.
Did I always fly this fast? I wondered, but there’s no inconvenience in being fast.
Continuing at this pace, I should arrive at the devil territory soon.
However, it seems I ended up in a completely different place from the devil territory I remember.
The sky is blue, and greenery flourishes on the land.
Oddly, despite the rugged terrain I don’t recognize, I realize this is indeed the devil territory.
What on earth has happened in these four hundred years?
I can’t help but be amazed at the extent of the recovery. It’s hard to believe there was a massive battle here in the past.
“…It’s not just recovery…”
Clearly, some different force is at work, altering the environment.
I pondered what could have changed the demon territory to such an extent, but I could only think of one thing.
“It must be Ouren…”
Truly beyond normal standards.
With a mana of three hundred thousand?
He’s been overshadowing every nation.
Even if he’s unaware of it, too much is too much!
I shouted inwardly.
Though all these were events of the past, Ouren’s power still has a tremendous influence even now, and I couldn’t help but be impressed.
After flying for a while, I spotted the Devil Lord’s castle.
Built within the forest, it doesn’t carry the eerie atmosphere it used to.
In fact, it seems slightly renovated. Cleaner than when I last saw it.
I heard the sound of the wind cutting.
Wondering what it was, I instinctively avoided it without confirmation.
Then, black wings entered my field of vision and passed by me.
“Missed!”
“Oh, a devil.”
Armed with black armor on both arms, it seems to also serve as a weapon.
Though he’s a small devil, handling such a disproportionately large weapon might be a bit difficult. Nonetheless, he effortlessly brandished it toward me.
It seems to have turned into a large lance.
I scrutinized it for any hidden mechanisms, but there didn’t seem to be any.
He’s a devil I often interacted with, who dedicated his life to crafting magical tools.
It wouldn’t be strange for him to carry some remnant of his craft.
While I was fine this time, I’ll have to be careful with devil weapons.
Then, the small devil shouted while pointing the tip of his lance.
“Who are you!!”
“…Huh? Ah, I see. You’re not an old devil from before.”
“What did you say, you runt!”
“Don’t call me a runt! It’s not my fault I died once, you know!!”
I retorted, but it seems that devil still has a low mental age.
But he’s already been employed as a combatant…
Even if he’s just on watch, his fearless attacking posture is commendable.
He’s a promising demon for the future. Nodding in satisfaction, I remembered my original purpose.
I didn’t come here to do this.
I have to talk to the survivors who are probably still alive about the angel’s information as soon as possible.
However… the young devil seems unwilling to leave this place.
He clearly sees me as an intruder and is trying to stop me.
Although I’m just a visitor… explaining that to him would take time, and it would undoubtedly be troublesome.
I don’t want to hurt him, and I wonder if there’s a way to negotiate.
It would be fine to flee, but that would mean missing the opportunity to clear his suspicions.
Ideally, I’d like to persuade him here and have him report my actions.
“Wait! I don’t mean any harm! I’m Houen! I’ve come to see Dacia!”
“You noisy intruder! You’re a lackey of the angels, aren’t you? I won’t be deceived by such talk!!”
“Geez… he’s a troublesome one… Well, he’s just a kid after all…”
As the large lance approached, I dodged it narrowly, then kicked the young devil’s side, sending him flying.
There are many instances where one can’t regain their balance while flying, but perhaps because he’s young and small, he managed to rotate twice, spread his wings widely, catch the wind, and ascend again, diving at me once more.
Seems he has quite good maneuverability.
But it’s clear this won’t get us anywhere.
“Let me disable your weapon for a moment.”
Dodging the young devil’s attack again, I seized his arm this time.
“Hoegh!?”
I immobilized him in place, causing the young devil to abruptly stop.
Quickly releasing him, I created a handgun with my fingers and aimed it at his lance.
” 【 Great Heat Ray】 .”
Bang!
A red heat ray pierced through the lance, leaving a large hole.
If I had put more mana into it, a thicker heat ray would have been emitted, but I didn’t intend to kill, so rendering the weapon useless was sufficient.
The lance with a hole immediately snapped, and the half broken off was sent plummeting down under gravity.
Seeing his suddenly lighter arms, the young demon’s eyes widened in surprise.
“He…? Wha…?”
“Phew… Alright, alright, I’m not here to fight. Put away your useless weapon and let’s talk a bit──”
“Whaaaah!! My weapon!!”
“Don’t cry, you’re a devil, for heaven’s sake!?”
This guy’s a pain, I shouted inwardly, sighed heavily, then walked past him and headed for the devil castle.
