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 220
7-40. Side -Reizen- Universal Seal
Reizen, who had set his sights on the target for sealing, immediately activated his skill.
A sound like static electricity crackling was heard, and in that instant, the barrier was complete.
A hexagonal barrier encased the specter.
The specter tried frantically to escape, but even as a spirit, it couldn’t pass through and ended up slamming its head hard against the barrier.
Seeing that the barrier didn’t budge no matter how hard it was hit, the specter seemed to finally grasp its situation, and its face quickly turned pale.
It appeared to be using some kind of skill, but even that was repelled.
The sealing skill “Universal Seal.”
Universal refers to all sorts of things, all manner of existences, and this skill can seal anything indiscriminately, whether it’s a spirit or a mental entity.
Since evolving into a spirit turtle, Reizen had acquired numerous sealing skills.
However, he had never used them before, so there was some anxiety about whether they would activate properly, but trying it this time, he got a feel for it.
It seems the size of the barrier is proportional to the amount of magical energy, and its strength is proportional to his defensive power.
Reizen’s defense power was at its maximum of 19,000.
Ordinary attacks would literally not even make him itch.
“Oh, the barrier shrinks if I reduce the amount of magical energy.”
>>W-Wait, wait, wai—…Gah…!<<
He shrank the barrier to the point where it immobilized the specter, lowering it to the floor.
When he crouched down to peer into the barrier, the specter was flailing around with a tearful face.
>>Huh, so you could do something like this.<<
“I just found out now. Hey, angel, what did you do with the children? What’s inside this?”
>>Like I’d tell you…!<<
“Oh, Izzatso.”
Reizen further reduced the amount of magical energy, shrinking the Universal Seal even more.
Finally, the specter could no longer move, and as its body began to be compressed, it seemed to feel pain.
For the first time since becoming a specter, it felt pain.
Although it’s an angel, physically, it seems to be as sensitive to pain as a child.
However, since it didn’t seem willing to talk, it might be best to just crush it here, especially if it could handle an angel with such skills.
After all, unless this specter is dealt with, leaving this place would be impossible.
It would be best to finish it off before it could call for help, but Reizen noticed something.
It seemed that anything sealed within this barrier, even skills that alter the environment outside, would also be sealed.
If the specter had been able to alter the inside of the church, it should have done so by now.
The fact that it hadn’t likely meant it couldn’t.
>>…No way…<<
“Are there any other useful skills I have?”
Muttering this, Reizen checked the skills he currently possessed.
However, none of them were particularly convenient.
As he continued to decrease the magical energy, shrinking the barrier further, he could hear something cracking and breaking behind him.
But since he couldn’t see it, he didn’t pay it much mind.
Reizen was somewhat surprised to find he had a skill capable of defeating spirits, but he thought it might be useful later.
However, it felt like he was back to square one.
“…Hmm, even if you say you returned the children to their parents, how did you do that without their souls?”
“Is it possible something got switched?”
“Can that even be solved?”
“My guess is… there’s a reason for storing the souls, probably because they can’t maintain their physical bodies. And since the caster should be dead by now…”
A brief silence fell.
If Reizen’s guess was correct, there was a high possibility that something had affected the souls that had been switched.
What exactly had they been switched with? It was unclear, but either way, it seemed necessary to check the children’s bodies.
Otherwise, the situation couldn’t be assessed.
“First off, can we even escape from here?”
“What about this soul? Is it safe to just leave it?”
“It’s sealed in a bottle, so it should be fine, but who knows. If we had the bodies of the children, maybe we could do something.”
There were too many uncertainties.
It seemed wise to contact the King of Garrott Kingdom and share information.
Leaving the bottle where it was, the two decided to investigate the church a bit.
As expected, there were no documents or anything useful left in the abandoned place, and the only result of their search was the bottled souls.
They had hoped to find something more, but since that didn’t happen, it was better to regroup quickly.
The two had no trouble leaving the church and headed towards Garrott Castle.
