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 174
6-11. ?Air Pressure?
Thud… The air grew heavy.
Wulf felt an odd sensation and tried to spread his wings to escape, but… his wings wouldn’t lift.
Wondering what was happening, he widened his eyes and looked at Amariaz, who was clenching the hands he had just spread out.
The next moment, he felt an impact as if he had been slammed.
Falling flat to the ground, he found himself unable to move even a finger, pressed down by the heavy air.
(This skill…!!?)
The Mist Shark seemed to be affected by this skill as well, thrashing about wildly in the sea of black mist.
However, it was gradually being forcibly compressed, its skeletal structure making unpleasant sounds as it began to break apart.
Wulf was powerless against this overwhelming skill.
All he could do was watch Amariaz’s face as he pressed his cheek against the ground.
Amariaz’s skill, “Air Pressure.”
It was a skill that applied pressure using the air, his ultimate and strongest skill.
Although it appeared similar to gravity, gravity pulls down towards the earth, while “Air Pressure” crushes from above.
Specifying an area, the skill applied pressure within that space, crushing everything.
Trees, people, even buildings.
The ground dented deeply.
Wulf was in the center of it, and the sound of his bones creaking and breaking reached them.
The excruciating pain seemed to make it impossible for him to maintain his skills, as the black mist leaking from his body gradually dissipated.
“Ugh… Aaargh…!”
“You’re quite a nuisance. I’ll make you the first angel I take down.”
“Wh-… Why… do you have that skill…!?”
“Because I’m the real deal.”
Wulf’s expression froze.
But that caused his tensed body to relax.
Crunch.
In that instant, his bones shattered, his organs were crushed, and he became part of the earth.
It was a gruesome end, but necessary to ensure an angel’s demise.
Especially since Wulf had the power of “Loss.”
In his current deficient state, Amariaz couldn’t stop “Air Pressure” until he was sure Wulf was completely dead.
The ground sank further.
The tremors gradually lessened, and the area fell silent.
Looking down into the large hole, all that remained was Wulf’s blood-soaked clothing.
Upon closer inspection, fragments of unbroken bones were protruding here and there.
Confirming this, Amariaz took a deep breath.
The “Air Pressure” just used consumed a lot of magical power.
In his prime, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but for Amariaz, now human, it was a powerful yet burdensome skill.
“But that’s one down.”
There were still many more angels to defeat.
If someone else could take care of them, it would reduce his workload…
Thinking such thoughts, he turned around.
As usual, Yuuzen was digging a hole with his “Explosive Fist.”
He felt relieved, thinking they would soon reach the barrier, when something caught his “Spatial Awareness.”
“Come on… I don’t need seconds…”
Another angel was approaching.
It would have been preferable if it was a weaker angel, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Troublesome…”
Amariaz muttered, creating the “Air Pressure Sword” in his hand again.
He prepared to activate another unused trap at the right moment when he spotted a new figure.
With wings ablaze, the newcomer exhibited incredible agility, weaving through the trees.
Sensing the approaching angel, the figure turned and shifted to defense.
Deflecting the incoming flame spear and even the scattered sparks, they managed to avoid harm.
Though outmatched in agility, they were not inferior in handling the spear.
“Multi-Spear!”
“Crimson Talon!”
The angel thrust their spear with all their might, while Houen, with a cold expression, calmly used his skill.
Two sharp red claws formed on his arm, which he lightly swung.
The flames arced towards the angel, while Houen’s own attack struck head-on.
However, the successive strikes were deflected.
It seemed like a single swing, but in reality, the angel had thrust and swung the spear around twenty times.
The flames dispersed, and finally, Houen’s “Crimson Talon” clashed and sparked with the blade.
“Houen-san!”
“Stay back! You’ll get burned!”
“Understood!”
“Not a chance!!”
The angel, regaining balance after two mid-air spins, gripped the spear tightly and swung it horizontally.
“Spear Wall!!”
The moment Amariaz tried to escape, spears emerged from the ground in front of him.
If he had taken one more step, he would have been skewered.
Thanks to Yuuzen’s “Substitution,” he avoided that fate.
“Close one! Damn it! Houen-san, dodge! Air Bullet!”
“Got it!”
Without hesitation, Amariaz attacked, including Houen in the assault.
Multiple air bullets attacked the angel and Houen, but Houen evaded them all brilliantly, and the angel deflected them all.
Focusing the attack solely on the angel, even that was completely deflected, and now the angel turned his spear towards Amariaz.
Spreading his wings wide, the angel increased his speed with a single flap and closed in.
But at that moment, Amariaz stomped the ground.
“Let it be ‘Air Vacuum Trap’!”
