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 127
5-10. Side -Houen- Understanding the Current Situation
At Yaqi’s words, Houen tilted his head.
That alone wouldn’t provide the answer to the current question he was pondering, but to explain recent events, it was necessary to start with this.
“Humans seem to be gathering skills to create pseudo-skills.”
“Pseudo-skills? Why would they do that when they already have skills?”
“Oh, I see. You wouldn’t know since you just woke up. Well, you see, ever since that battle, individuals with skills have stopped appearing.”
“What?”
Listening to the conversation, it seems that currently, the only ones possessing skills are individuals who lived four hundred years ago.
Devils live for a very long time.
So while there are still individuals with skills, the units led by Daroslaina used skills that traded lifespan for power, so they already disappeared.
In the Oni Village, only Uchikage possesses skills.
Although it was mentioned that Hisui, a spirit, exists for a limited time and doesn’t have a physical form, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.
Although it was a very intriguing story for Houen, a nostalgic name came up, causing a smile to form on his lips.
“According to Dacia-sama, currently, children named Yuuzen and Amariz along with Ouren and Karna are heading to revive you guys. She said she sent them to where you are, Houen…”
“Oh, we completely missed each other. Well, if it’s Ouren, he probably already sensed it with his detection-type skills. If he’s not foolish, he should be heading to unseal Lize by now. We’ll meet up later.”
“Yeah, sure thing.”
Currently, the weakest point of defense is the Potodora Dungeon where Lize resides.
Near the Treasure Fish’s Origin is the Oni Village, so he should start moving as soon as the angels take any action.
For now, it’s reassuring that Ouren’s seal was released first.
He’s the one with the most combat experience among them and possesses exceptional skills.
Regardless of whether they are angels or whatever, he’ll handle them.
“So?”
“Yeah. Right now, all the devils are out looking for the angels’ headquarters. We’ve identified it as the Four Heavenly Church/shrine. That’s the only clue we have. Right now, Uchikage should be investigating the source of Thekil’s magical tools.”
“…His magic tools were leaked?”
“Well, the humans who attacked this time were equipped with Thekil’s magic armor.”
“Wait, wait, humans?”
“That’s right.”
For a moment, he struggled to understand, but then he vividly remembered past events.
It was when everyone had gathered in the Garott Kingdom to discuss countermeasures.
The Shadow Eye, a covert unit from the Salettana Kingdom, which had been investigating in the Valpan Kingdom, had sent a message through a communication crystal that was hard to believe.
That’s when the angels started their activities and took over the church.
From what he heard, they became objects of worship due to their beautiful appearance, and everyone was supposed to shout something in unison.
He had forgotten what exactly.
From this, it can be inferred that the angels are controlling certain humans and getting them to cooperate.
No, humans themselves are probably suggesting cooperation.
The faith in this world is incomparable to the Japan he originally lived in.
Even now, four hundred years later, human faith in angels remains unchanged.
So the most suspicious one is…
“The Valpan Kingdom.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Since devils with skills are our elite units, we can’t move them recklessly. So lower-ranking devils are heading out for information gathering.”
“But don’t the angels have skills? Wouldn’t it be an uneven match?”
“It’s okay. Thekil provided magical tools not only to the Oni Village.”
Saying so, Yaqi took out a black bead from her pocket.
It was an unfamiliar object.
She crushed it with her finger.
And it disappeared from the spot.
“Wow.”
“……(Pointing to the left.)”
“Huh? Wow…”
“How’s that?”
Somehow, Yaqi was standing right next to him.
She waved her hand with a smile.
This magical tool creates a pseudo warp gate, modeled after Dacia’s skills, it seems.
Imagine the place you want to go in your mind and infuse it with magic.
By doing so, you can instantly teleport to that location.
Although it absorbs magic depending on the distance, devils can usually move to a safe place.
This is a magical tool for devils.
“With this, even lower-ranking devils can safely retreat. But since the opponent has skills, it’s not entirely safe even with this.”
“But does it increase the survival rate?”
“That’s right! Well then, back to the topic.”
As they returned to where they were a while ago, he continued his conversation energetically.
“What needs to be done now is to release the remaining two seals. But only Yuuzen-kun can do this.”
“Why?”
“Because all of you sealed with ‘Suppressor Seals.'”
That skill was something Houen had heard about when he was active in the Salettana Kingdom.
Even though he wasn’t particularly surprised to hear that he were sealed with such a skill, he showed a slightly surprised expression when he heard that Yuuzen could undo the seal.
It’s not something that can be easily undone.
Both the sealed and the one who undid the seal would die.
But Yuuzen can do it.
It’s quite something, he thought sincerely.
Thanks to him, Ouren must have safely awakened from his seal.
“I see.”
“Well, to be honest, Yuuzen-kun alone couldn’t undo the seal with just his magic power, so we supplemented it with magic power from magic stones.”
“Oh, there’s something like that?”
“‘Suppressor Seals’ require magic power equal to or greater than the target’s magic power to undo the seal.”
“…? Wait? So you mean it requires magic power greater than Yuuzens magic power?”
“That’s right.”
Houen perfectly remembered the total amount of Ouren magic power.
Because of that, the plan was greatly disrupted, making it impossible to forget.
He immediately turned his gaze to Atrak and leaned over the desk.
“Hey, Atrak! How much magic power did you give to Yuuzen!?”
“…?”
He thought for a moment, then raised three fingers, made a fist, and placed it next to him several times.
The number was three hundred thousand.
Exactly the total amount of Ouren’s magic power.
“His total magic power is three hundred thousand!? Then there’s not enough magic power left to release the seals for Lize and Reizen”
“!?!”
“Eeeeh!? Wait, Dacia-sama! I never hear that!”
It felt like there was more to do.
But without magic stones, it would be difficult to release the seals of the remaining two.
Atrak immediately stood up and sank into the floor to prepare for it.
Left behind, Yaqi continued her explanation energetically before disappearing into a black hole, just like when she appeared.
There were still things he wanted to ask, but if she was gone, there was nothing he could do.
He’ll just have to ask Yuuzen and Ouren later.
…Who is Amariaz, though?
He felt something nagging at him, but it was probably just his imagination.
For now, he stood up, grabbed another snack from the table, and popped it into his mouth.
It was incredibly sweet.
