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 193
7-13. Next Destination
“…Are you suggesting we leave him behind?”
“Exactly.”
As a Dacia, that proposal was hard to agree with. One might want to say, have you forgotten the enemy’s capabilities? Of course, he was about to voice that, but Iubora explained first.
“I’m immortal. I’m well-suited to dealing with him and stalling for time. I want you to head south during that period. He said, didn’t he? That he wouldn’t let us go any further.”
“In other words, there’s possibly something there he doesn’t want us to reach?”
“Yes.”
When Altez appeared, he did indeed say something like that. If there is a reason the angel doesn’t want us to go there, finding it could yield valuable information. Originally, Altez probably didn’t even want this place discovered… Let’s assume he didn’t have time to move. They can’t overlook any more losses.
“And hurry up and contact Abyss.”
“Whoa, I almost forgot.”
“You did forget, didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Well then, please.”
“Got it.”
Dacia spread her wings wide. Grabbing the wind firmly, she accelerated rapidly and closed in on Altez. She launched a slashing attack as she passed by, but despite hitting the body, there was no response. Frowning at the lack of reaction, Dacia left the scene.
“??!”
“You’re dealing with me.”
Generating a huge mass of flesh, he unleashed a pure blunt force attack. A dull thud echoed, but Altez didn’t move from the spot and deflected it with his hand.
“!?”
“??I died once already. ‘Universal Hardening.'”
With a click, his body stiffened. Unable to fly, he fell into the sea.
Watching the ripples on the sea, Altez pondered. Should he pursue the fleeing Dacia or retrieve and return with the long-idealized Iubora? Even if he was immortal, he would perish without air. A decision had to be made quickly to either completely dispose of him or retrieve him, but Altez leisurely considered that there was no longer any threat.
At that moment, something appeared at the edge of his vision. Turning to check, there was a round sphere. What is this, he frowned, and at that moment, it opened its mouth wide and bit into his face.
“!!? !!!?”
Desperately trying to pull it off, the small mouth bit down with unexpected strength, making it hard to remove by force. Meanwhile, Altez’s face began to get mangled, turning bright red. This continued for a while until the attack reached his brain, causing a spasm before Altez fell into the sea.
At the same time, Iubora emerged from the sea and approached the sphere. Grabbing it, he brought it to his mouth and swallowed it whole.
“Gulp. Ahh, I can’t match Atrak-sama…”
Iubora had separated his main body from his clone. The one fighting earlier was indeed Iubora, but it was a clone, and the small sphere was the main body. The clone was clumsy, but it surprisingly worked well.
“…He’s not coming up.”
Looking around cautiously, Altez did not appear. He tends to ambush suddenly. It wouldn’t be surprising if an attack came at this moment, but why isn’t he appearing?
Looking at the sea, red blood was drifting.
“…Huh?”
When Altez revived, even the blood would disappear instantly. But now it was still there.
“…Dead? So easily?”
He knew he could die multiple times, but it seemed he had fewer lives than expected. He hadn’t left a particularly strong impression, but… is it really over? Not wanting to let his guard down, he separated his main body and clone again, making the main body a bird and letting it fly away.
Ready to take on any attack, but… the blood still didn’t disappear. Is he really dead?
“Oh. I forgot to ask where my brother is…”
<<Brother? You mean that barely finished one?>>
“!?”
Iubora turned around. He should have turned around, but what he saw was an abyss. The blue sea, sky, and white clouds disappeared, swallowed by the abyss where he couldn’t even see his own hand.
<<I’ll take you. It saves me the trouble of retrieving you.>>
Hearing that voice, Iubora’s consciousness faded into darkness.
