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 203
7-23. Side -Ouren- Infiltration
The time was around 5 PM. The sun had not yet set, but this was the time when the barrier gate opened.
Ouren, utilizing his stealth skill ‘Assassin,’ waited near the barrier gate. Interestingly, while using this skill, even animals couldn’t detect him.
“Ouch!”
A bird crashed forcefully into his side and back. Ouren’s high defense prevented him from taking damage, but the impact still registered. Though it didn’t hurt, he reflexively said ‘Ouch,’ a habit many humans have, similar to saying ‘ouch’ when their video game character gets hurt.
While the bird’s collision didn’t disrupt the ‘Assassin’ skill, it was annoying. He grabbed the bird by the neck and threw it away, then looked at the barrier gate, wondering when it would finally open.
This barrier, upon closer inspection, was a type of magic tool rather than a spell. The only person capable of creating such a thing would be Thekil, but the angels had stolen Thekil’s magic tool technology, as Uchikage had mentioned. If deciphered, creating something like this would be simple for them.
Thus, he needed to be cautious about both skills and magic tools. The facility likely housed knowledge about these magic tools, and if possible, he wanted to eliminate any angels with expertise in this area.
“Finally.”
As Ouren pondered, the barrier gate began to slide open. A few angels emerged, carrying some large, sealed items, their contents unknown.
Not wanting to lose track of them, Ouren decided to use ‘Mist Manipulation’ to follow their movements, hoping to uncover another angel base.
“Alright.”
After skillfully setting part of the ‘Mist Manipulation’ to follow them, Ouren slipped through the closing barrier gate and headed towards the facility.
Since he couldn’t fly in his human form, Ouren created several ‘Multiple Water Spears’ to use as footholds, stabilizing himself by holding one fixed above his head. It was similar to surfing, but much faster.
He aimed for a potential entry point and flew towards it, landing on what seemed to be the angels’ rest area. The rooftop was lush with greenery and the sounds of birds, meticulously maintained to the point that one wouldn’t realize it was a facility rooftop.
“Quite impressive.”
Admiring the artificial nature, Ouren pouted. The precisely arranged trees and pristine shrubs, devoid of any cleaning traces, created an uncanny forest.
Ignoring the eerie forest, he headed towards his target.
“??”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“??”
“That way?”
Abyss, sitting on his shoulder, tugged his hair and pointed in a direction where a large tree stood prominently.
Abyss wouldn’t draw attention to something without reason. Approaching the tree, he saw eyes appear on it.
“Oh…?”
“……..”
Luckily, ‘Assassin’ kept him hidden. The eyes scanned the surroundings before closing, looking somewhat disappointed. Ouren pondered the pseudo-skill that resulted in such a creation and realized why Abyss pointed it out.
“…That was a human.”
“??(Nods)”
“Damn…”
The angels’ blasphemous acts were unthinkable. Here to investigate these atrocities, Ouren steeled himself, pulling out the Kage Orochi from his magic tool bag.
Navigating the facility’s narrow paths required a short weapon.
“Alright, let’s reveal everything.”
“??(Nods firmly)”
Ouren and Abyss proceeded to the rooftop entrance, using ‘Infinite Water Manipulation’ to fill the keyhole with water, then turning it to unlock the door with a satisfying click. Finally, they stepped into the facility.
