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 189
7-9. Angel’s Skill
They took a large step back, reassuming their stances with their weapons. Iubora grimaced as he looked at his shattered claw.
“This… This is my hardest ‘Transformation’.”
“You might be better off using a normal weapon. Do you even have one?”
“My whole body is a weapon, so I don’t carry any cumbersome metal objects.”
“I see. But you’ll manage, right?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve had such a tough opponent. Let’s see what we can do.”
With that, Iubora swung his arm, forming a large blade. His ability to transform his entire body into a weapon made him unmatched in close combat.
While Iubora tested his movements, Dacia took two dice from her pocket and casually threw them into the sea. As they heard the small splash, the three sprang into action.
Whether it was a desire for a pure power contest or the angel only having close-combat skills was unclear, but he charged straightforwardly. Such straightforwardness often hinted at something hidden.
Dacia and Iubora were ready for the next move.
The angel struck first. Sharp light needles extended rapidly towards them. They narrowly dodged and twisted their bodies, adding centrifugal force to their counter attacks. Their powerful swings together made it hard for the angel to defend.
However, the angel easily blocked their attacks with thin light needles, despite their small size and lack of handles. They stopped Dacia’s longsword and Iubora’s transformed blade effortlessly.
“Clearly not an ordinary skill.”
“I agree.”
After a brief stalemate, the angel pushed them back, disrupting their balance. But they quickly recovered with their wings and launched upward slashes.
“Shall we go on the offensive?”
“Of course.”
The dice settled on the seafloor, showing ’01’ and ‘8’.
“A good roll.”
“!!”
The angel tried to block with his light needles, but Dacia’s slash shattered his defense. The needles broke, and his attack reached the angel’s throat. The angel managed to generate a light collar for protection, but it too shattered, sending him flying toward the sea.
The angel skipped across the water before regaining his footing and sliding to a stop. Fragments of the light collar sank, and blood from a small neck wound mingled with the sea.
“It’s not over yet.”
“I know.”
Iubora quickly closed the distance, swinging his transformed blade. The angel narrowly avoided the sharp attack and grabbed Iubora’s clothes.
“!”
“‘Universal Hardening’.”
The angel lifted Iubora and slammed him into the sea. Strangely, instead of sinking, Iubora hit the sea surface as if it were solid concrete.
“Ugh!”
He didn’t sink. The sea surface had hardened like concrete, and Iubora grimaced in pain.
“‘Universal Hardening’.”
“!!?”
Iubora sank into the sea, unable to move or struggle.
“Damn it…”
“—”
It was clear the angel’s skill was similar to Lurimcos’ ability. Though the range and effects differed, the core was the same: hardening everything. This was the angel’s skill. He hadn’t used it earlier, suggesting it had conditions, likely requiring touch. However, he hardened the sea without touching it, implying remote use was limited to non-living things.
If touched, they’d lose. The skill’s power was immense, likely consuming a lot of magic to maintain.
“He can’t harden two things simultaneously, right?”
“—”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
“?!”
Dacia moved behind the angel instantly. Her skill changed her physical abilities, attack, and defense stats based on her dice rolls. Though he had rolled for power earlier, now he rolled for speed. However, she hadn’t rolled again.
The dice on the seafloor had shifted with the current, showing ’00’ and ’03’.
“The faster, the stronger.”
Thud.
Dacia’s longsword struck the angel’s cheek with tremendous force.
