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 141
5-24. Side -Ouren- Impede
Ouren, who had been constantly observing the angels, quickly headed towards their location.
Since they were in the sky, they were easy to spot.
However, in this chaos, few people had the leisure to look up.
Weaving through the panicking crowd, Ouren created multiple water spears, grabbed one, and had it carry him to the rooftop to recheck the enemy’s position.
The angels’ gaze turned towards him.
There was still quite a distance between them, but it seemed they could only recognize him from this vantage point.
This confirmed that they had not noticed him earlier.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter now. ‘Water Dragon.’”
A torrent of water appeared, coiling to form a dragon in front of Ouren.
He jumped onto it, flicked the wakizashi-Kageorochi, forward, and the water dragon raised its head and began to move.
Although this skill allowed for fast travel, riding it required a knack.
Perfectly executing the technique he had somehow mastered, Ouren controlled the dragon with Kageorochi and closed in on the angels.
He could identify six angels.
All seemed to be armed, but only lightly armored.
Their vital areas were protected, and their armor was adorned, reflecting the sunlight brilliantly.
Each carried a weapon of choice, but one held a staff.
Ouren quickly deduced that this one used long-range skills and prepared ‘Air Compression’ in his hand.
If they used explosives, he needed a means of counterattack.
After compressing the air sufficiently, he confronted the angels.
This was the second time he had seen angels, but the ones before him now had the quintessential angelic appearance.
They were nothing like the slaughter angels he had fought before.
Each was beautiful, clad in white and gold garments with silver armor attached somewhere on their bodies.
Their weapons were unnecessarily lavish.
It made him think there were better things to focus on, but it didn’t matter.
They were certainly allies of the “something” he had fought in the past and the true enemies of humanity.
“They look weak.”
At Ouren’s muttered words, one angel’s brow twitched with anger.
The angel readied a throwing spear and hurled it.
Ouren caught it as it flew straight towards him.
“!?”
“…Ah, an auto-tracking one. It’s meaningless unless I dodge.”
The spear in his hand tugged towards him.
It seemed almost sentient.
However, it could only follow simple commands, unable to shake off or retract.
Perhaps the command could only be changed while in the wielder’s hand.
While analyzing the enemy’s skill, Ouren was surprised by his own ease in catching the spear.
In the past, he would have deflected or dodged it.
But now, his constant calmness and efficient movements made it possible.
During combat, a cold sensation ran through his body.
It felt familiar, undoubtedly due to that person.
“Hiwa, you were truly amazing. Ancient Japanese were something else.”
He chuckled softly and readied Kageorochi.
The angels, wary of his battle stance, pointed their weapons at him.
As he prepared to strike, an angel spoke.
“You must be Ouryu (The Dragonlord).”
“It’s Ouren. But yeah, I’m a dragon.”
“””“….”””””
The angel grinned.
Three angels flapped their wings and took off.
“! I won’t let you! ‘Flame Dragon!’”
With a roar, three dragons of fire appeared, chasing the fleeing angels.
The ‘Flame Dragon’ was faster.
The more it moved, the more oxygen it consumed, intensifying the flames.
But the ‘Flame Dragon’ didn’t reach the three angels.
“’Vacuum.’”
One of the remaining angels used a skill on the ‘Flame Dragon.’
The flames rapidly weakened and dispersed.
The angel repeated this skill three times.
The ‘Flame Dragons’ were completely neutralized, allowing the three angels to escape.
“…Vacuum, huh. They removed the air.”
Though he doubted these beings understood science, it had been 400 years since then.
Perhaps they were gradually understanding such concepts.
Though concerned about the three escaped angels, he had to deal with the three in front of him.
Since they weren’t fleeing, the battle was already decided.
“’Multiple Water Spears.’”
Using the water behind the angels, he formed numerous water spears.
The sound alerted two of the angels, who turned around.
But by then, the spears were already upon them.
Yet, the spears’ unexpected behavior made Ouren furrow his brows.
“’Impede.’”
