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 198
7-18. The Three Angels
“J-just a moment! Uchikage-Ojiichan! I’ll be stepping out for a bit!”
“? Ah, that’s fine…”
I quickly stood up and pulled Amariaz away.
It must have looked clearly suspicious, but I couldn’t let anyone else hear this conversation.
After moving to the far end of the garden and confirming no one was around, I asked Amariaz for more details.
“So, what’s going on!?”
“It’s exactly as it sounds… I told you before, didn’t I? I created three angels. One of them is that one.”
“W-what kind of abilities does it have?”
“Oh, right, I do know that…”
Please, get it together!!
This is the most important part!
You need to explain the whole immortality thing clearly!!
“Since it was the first angel you made, you must have given it some pretty dangerous skills, right?”
“…Yeah, I did…”
“And those are…?”
“The ‘Five Souls.'”
“Five Souls?”
“It’s a skill that lets it revive five times after dying. And any attack that could cause the same death again is nullified. It’s a skill that gets stronger each time it dies.”
Five Souls.
As Amariaz explained, it’s an ability that allows resurrection up to five times, but it has another feature: nullifying the cause of death.
If the first cause of death was a slash, any subsequent slashing attacks are nullified.
Broadening the scope, if the weapon that caused the death is identified, any attack from that weapon is nullified.
This applies five times.
If killed by stabbing, bludgeoning, slashing, battering, or crushing, the sixth and final soul must be killed by a different method.
Thus, engaging in a one-on-one fight would almost certainly put you at a disadvantage.
If the cause of death is set to a weapon, other weapons can be used, but not being able to use your favored weapon is a significant handicap.
And this Five Souls ability.
The angel has to collect its own souls.
The method is to consume a human heart.
It won’t recover if the heart isn’t fresh, so it likely can’t recover during a fight.
However, knowing this method exists is crucial.
“So, fighting in areas with humans is…”
“Absolutely to be avoided. There’s a chance of infinite recovery. But Iubora said he defeated it… I can’t imagine it going down that easily…”
“Indeed. By the way, how long does this ‘Five Souls’ ability last?”
“A month.”
“…?”
Wait, a month?
Isn’t that unfairly long!?
Why did you set it for such a long period, Amariaz!?
“It was my ally, so… I wanted it to be strong…”
“Well, sure, but now only someone like Ouren-san can defeat it.”
“Indeed, it’s better if they handle it… I think Altez fought Iubora deliberately to die. He’ll probably die a few more times somewhere else, so within this month… He’s planning something.”
Seriously…?
Is he desperate?
But, knowing the timeframe for their attack might actually be advantageous!
But how should I explain this to Uchikage-Ojiichan and the others?
It would be suspicious if Amariaz knew about the ‘Five Souls’ just from Iubora’s story…
“What should we do?”
“Hmm, to avoid suspicion, we should keep it secret until the ability becomes clear. But knowing the enemy will act within this month is good enough for now. We’ll rely on the devils’ information and Ouren-san.”
“Got it.”
Okay, that covers the skill.
Next…
“Amariaz. Could you tell me about the other two?”
“Oh, right… I don’t remember everything, but…”
“Just tell me what you know.”
“Alright.”
This is important information.
Amariaz’s initial creation of the three angels…
I can’t share this with anyone else yet.
Amariaz recalled one of them.
He wouldn’t forget the one he endowed with the strongest ability, and he could vaguely remember the one with skills nearly equal to Ouren.
“Arnicc.”
“And their skill is?”
“An angel I gave a skill second only to Houen-san and Ouren-san. The skill is called ‘Sky Quake.'”
“The name alone gives me a bad feeling.”
“I gave it a few other skills, but this is the only one I remember…”
“I see. So, what’s Sky Quake?”
Amariaz nodded.
“As the name suggests, it vibrates the sky… To summarize, it’s as powerful as Houen-san’s ‘Endless Inferno.'”
“Is it a ‘hit and you win’ kind of thing?”
“Yes.”
“What a pain.”
