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 213
Sorry for the late update, RL is too bussy, I really need more rest.
7-33. Side -Ouren- The Strongest
The rubble and explosions brightened the night sky like a grand firework display.
The tremendous roar surely reached the nearby human town.
And now, some damage might occur due to the falling debris.
The barrier that had surrounded the facility might have maintained some buoyancy, but now that it too was destroyed, the half-remaining building slowly tilted and began to fall.
One could easily imagine the extent of the damage once it lands.
Ouren, Houen, and Abyss escaped from the tilting facility and took to the sky. Since Ouren couldn’t fly on his own, he clung to Abyss’s arm, but quickly summoned “Multiple Water Spears” to create a stable footing.
“Flame Spear!”
With a whoosh, Houen summoned a spear of flames and hurled it at the building. The large target was easily hit, and the flames quickly engulfed the entire structure.
“Can you really burn down a facility like that?”
“At the very least, we can eliminate everything inside. That facility is a product of technology that’s a bit too advanced for this world.”
“I see.”
Houen lightly flicked the remaining flames off his hand. It was clear the moment they entered the facility that the technology inside was similar to that of the world Ouren and Houen originally came from. They understood that it was something that could disrupt the balance of this magic-reliant world, so they burned it to prevent humans from using the technology.
Houen wasn’t sure if concrete could burn since he had never tried it, but he figured there would be no issue if they couldn’t identify the materials used in the facility. The glasswork would probably shatter into pieces upon impact, so dealing with it like this should be sufficient.
After watching the burning facility fall, the three finally turned their attention to Tekeris. His discolored arm wiggled and slowly returned to a human skin tone.
Beyond him, they finally laid eyes on the presence that was several tens of meters away.
“Altez.”
“…”
Through the strands of long hair, hollow eyes were faintly visible. The white wings were undoubtedly those of an angel, but the clothes were entirely different.
Black. He wore tattered, robe-like garments, and with a scythe in hand, he could easily be mistaken for a grim reaper. The eerie face only heightened his intimidating presence, and the air around him crackled with tension.
And there he was, holding Iubora under his arm. However, upon seeing this, Tekeris and Abyss relaxed, realizing that it was little more than an empty shell.
“Oh, it’s just a duplicate.”
“Huh? What do you mean, Abyss? Isn’t that Iubora?”
“Hm, that’s not the real one, so it’s fine. Looks like he managed to escape in the nick of time.”
“What a clever trick.”
“And what about him?”
“One of the archangels, Altez. He’s nearly immortal.”
Altez finally seemed to notice something off about the devil he was holding under his arm. Grabbing it, he brought it in front of him, and the body crumbled into ash. In the end, nothing remained in his hand, and the remnants of clothing also disintegrated into ash and vanished.
Irritated, he shook his arm to discard the ashes and ran his hand through his hair.
“An angel?”
“What’s the situation here?”
“Altez gains resistance to the manner of death he experiences. In other words, he cannot be killed the same way twice.”
“I see. So that’s why he looks like that after dying so many times?”
“That’s an easy way to understand it.”
“Yeah, but still…”
They had to figure out how to kill him. This was the most crucial aspect of fighting Altez. If they attacked him with something he had already developed resistance to, he would inevitably counterattack.
Ouren, who wasn’t invincible, had no choice but to tread carefully here.
Houen had a limited range of methods to finish off enemies. Since he mainly used fire-based attacks, he could only kill Altez a few times at most. However, his opponent likely anticipated death by incineration and had probably already taken precautions. How effective Houen’s special skill, “Absolute Inferno,” would be remained uncertain.
Then there was Altez’s method of attack. They needed to deal with that while launching their own assault.
“Hey, Tekeris. What kind of attacks does he use?”
“Primarily close combat. Watch out for his skill, ‘Universal Petrification.’ If you get hit by that, you won’t be able to move.”
“Hmm…”
“But he can only target one thing at a time. And for living beings, he needs to make contact.”
“So we might be able to handle him if we attack in numbers.”
“And…”
“There’s more?!”
Their opponent was an archangel. Altez’s skills didn’t end there. Tekeris, who had fought him in the past, knew about his most powerful ability.
“The more he dies, the stronger he becomes. ‘Resurrection by Death.’”
Altez finally conjured a sword of light in his hand.
