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 202
7-22. Side-Ouren-Preparation
“Wow, I didn’t know you could do that.”
“You didn’t know, did you?”
“But are you sure it’s okay? Isn’t your ability halved or something?”
“No, not at all. This is really convenient.”
Abyss, now in the form of a human child. She looks like a middle schooler. Her youthful appearance and behavior are indistinguishable from that of a child.
Abyss’ duplicates are a bit special, no matter how many there are, their abilities don’t differ. However, the burden on her processing power increases, so she can perfectly control up to three duplicates at most. Although she can increase the number, and their power or abilities don’t fluctuate, she can only issue simple commands to more than three. Thus, Abyss usually refrains from using her duplicates excessively.
In this case, it seems he created this duplicate with a specific intention in mind. Abyss appears to be cautious about something.
“Alright, the numbers are gathered.”
“Yeah, I think it’s best to move out the next day… How does it sound to you, Ouren? Can you tell us a suitable time that fits your strategy?”
“Actually, it’s tonight…”
“At night… I stand out too much at night. It will take some time for reinforcements to arrive.”
“Then I’ll take a smaller Abyss with me.”
“What?”
“So, can you make a tiny duplicate?”
“Ugh…”
Despite her reluctance, Abyss created a small duplicate in the palm of her hand and handed it to Ouren.
“It’s so small that it probably can’t talk.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Well, it’s fine. Since Abyss is here, there’s no need to give Houen a water nlob, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Right.”
“Then let’s go.”
Ouren stretched, cracking his back. He laughed, thinking it would be fun after a long time, and gazed at the angels’ base in the sky. The sun hadn’t completely set yet, and there was still some time before departure.
“Before we go, let’s share the base map.”
“Shall we move to a better place? Is there any spot that would be suitable?”
“We didn’t book a place to stay… Let’s just go somewhere less crowded.”
With light steps, they moved to a deserted back alley. Ouren kept constant watch to notice if anyone approached and used ‘Land Spirit’ to manipulate the ground if needed to stop anyone from coming closer.
Once preparations were complete, they created water using ‘Infinite Water Manipulation’ and turned it into ‘Healing Water’ to make it easier to see, then generated a floor plan of the facility. It was a three-story building, with laboratories on the first and second floors and offices on the third. The third floor seemed to be the place with the most valuable information.
“As always, you’re skilled.”
“I’m used to it. So, there’s a barrier around this facility.”
“What do you plan to do about it? You can’t just break it.”
“Of course not. I’ve been watching for a while and found a way through.”
“What is it?”
“Here.”
He mimicked the barrier with water around the facility and pointed to a specific spot.
“Here? What about it?”
“It seems that this barrier doesn’t just sense angels. This is the entrance.”
“Oh?”
“So, we enter from here?”
“Exactly. And the time when this opens is soon.”
“I see. I underestimated you.”
“Why is that?”
Houen, who knew Ouren for always charging in forcefully, was impressed to see him taking time to investigate and devise the best plan. He was more impressed by the fact that Ouren could do such things.
However, if that’s the case, isn’t it about time to head out? When Houen asked, Ouren nodded.
“The barrier gate opens for five minutes. During that time, I’ll use the ‘Assassin’ to infiltrate.”
“Are you confident you won’t get caught?”
“If I’m caught, I’ll just fight my way out. Besides, angels likely have more pseudo-skills for attacking. Searching would be secondary.”
“There’s a possibility… but fine. Let’s go with that plan.”
“Alright, I’m off!”
As Ouren said this, his presence vanished. If you didn’t pay attention, you’d lose track of him. In the blink of an eye, his figure completely disappeared.
“Wow, I didn’t know Ouren could do that…”
“I only found out recently. Well, let’s leave it to him.”
“What about us? Shouldn’t we prepare a bit?”
“But what should we prepare?”
“It’s obvious.”
With a cheerful thumbs-up, Abyss stated what they should prepare with a determined expression.
“Gunpowder.”
“Are you sane!?”
