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 234
8-6. Unknown Skill
W-wait a minute, what is that? I don’t know this, what is that?
That’s different from what Amariaz was saying, though?
It’s not like the skill has changed over time or something, right?
Ah, but hold on a sec.
This “Sky Tremor” and “Ripple”—different names, but they seem like similar skills, right?
So, maybe the content hasn’t changed much…?
But then… didn’t Tekeris say, “The area of effect is narrow”?
From what I heard, the area of effect should be quite wide.
Does that mean he didn’t use that skill in front of Tekeris…?
“Could you explain it in more detail?”
“‘Ripple’ is a skill that creates ripples on the earth. The ripples also flow through structures and stones. If a living being is within that area, it will shake in the same way.”
“…And what happens then?”
“Let me put it this way. Ouren, produce some water.”
“Got it.”
Following the request, Ouren used the skill “Infinite Water Manipulation” to create water and bring it before Tekeris.
Tekeris asked him to spread it out like a puddle, so Ouren shaped it from a sphere into an elliptical disc.
Then, Tekeris casually picked up a small stone nearby.
Without hesitation, he tossed it into the water.
With a plop, the stone sank into the water.
“Ouren, your face was reflected on the water’s surface, right?”
“Yeah.”
“What happened?”
“Well… ripples formed, and my body swayed in response?”
“Exactly. The skill ‘Ripple’ physically manifests on the body in the same way.”
Those unfamiliar with the skill’s description paled in shock.
The ripples sway everything reflected on the water’s surface.
And it does so in remarkably fine detail.
It’s easy to imagine what would happen if this was replicated in a body.
Muscles, bones, and internal organs would be shaken either up and down or side to side.
Forced into positions that the human body cannot naturally assume, bones would shatter, fragments would pierce internal organs, and muscle fibers would be torn apart.
Thinking of it as an area-wide version of Ouren-san’s “Wave Fist” skill makes it easy to understand just how powerful this skill is.
But that’s still different from what I heard!?
I mean, if Amariaz was right and he had that other skill too…
That means this angel, Arnicc, can shake both the ground and the air, right…?
Isn’t that way too powerful?
“Well, we’ll manage somehow. It’s good that we know the enemy’s skill now.”
“You’re optimistic. I think it’s a bit too much for someone who isn’t immortal.”
“Basically, if you stay in the air, you should be fine, right? If it shakes the ground, just don’t be on the ground!”
“I enjoy talking with you. You understand quickly, and that helps.”
But if the skill “Sky Tremor” still exists…!
Oh, I really want to say it!
But if I say it, things are going to get complicated!!
I need some plausible reason to share this information… What do I do?
…Yeah, it’s probably impossible.
“Excuse me… May I speak?”
“What is it, Uchikage?”
“We know the enemy’s objective and their base, so perhaps we should first establish our course of action. Currently, we are isolated. Even if the angels’ skills are pseudo-skills, even the Oni of Oni Village will struggle. There are almost no individuals who can match someone with a genuine skill.”
Everyone nodded slightly.
The Oni Territory Fortress is robust, but it is not designed for an aerial attack.
And the angels are likely to come from the sky.
“Moreover, the angels always hold the advantage of being on the offensive. They surely understand that this place, Oni Village, is where the skilled ones have gathered. Now that Ouren-sama and the others have awakened, they won’t come at us with half-hearted forces.”
Uchikage cleared his throat and continued.
“But the enemy is divided into two factions. This means they have few who can coordinate effectively.”
“However, Uchikage, we are already united. Even the faction that wasn’t captured with the ‘Seal Suppressor’ might come together and coordinate.”
“That’s possible. However… I don’t think groups that have historically clashed and hindered each other will easily unite.”
“That… is true.”
“And that brings into question whether or not an archangel has intervened.”
There are three archangels.
And twenty-four angels.
Only these twenty-seven can act and make decisions as senior members.
If an archangel respects the opinion of one side, they will certainly suppress the opposing opinion.
However, that hasn’t happened.
That’s why the factions are divided, and the angels are in conflict with each other.
“Does that mean both sides’ opinions are being respected…?”
“If they are left to their own devices, it will create rifts among allies. It’s probably already happening.”
“That’s why, even though everyone has awakened, there is no unity.”
“So, is that advantageous for us?”
“Ouren-sama, the angels… no, the archangels might be so powerful that they don’t care about the rifts among their own ranks.”
“…I see…?”
…Could it be… that the archangels… don’t even consider the twenty-four angels as part of their “forces”?
