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 239
8-11. On Top of the Barrier
I landed on the invisible barrier.
However, Abyss-san had spread his white mass, making it easy to see where the footing was. Relieved to find a solid ground beneath my feet, I took a deep breath and widened my eyes at the height of my current position.
The enormous “Dome Shield” that covered the entire castle of the Kingdom of Garott was truly massive.
The “Dome Shield” was elliptical in shape, so it didn’t seem like I’d slip off with just a little movement. Furthermore, Abyss-san had visualized the barrier with his white mass, so as long as nothing unexpected happened, falling off shouldn’t be a problem.
“Alright…!”
Clapping my hands together, I looked up at the sky. The angels hadn’t expected reinforcements to arrive so quickly. They were pointing at us, conversing with each other, clearly on high alert.
Alright, since the barrier is still intact, I must have made it before Dad ran out of mana. I have no idea where he is, but it’s gotta be around here somewhere.
Those flying around must be all pseudo-angels. I blew away a few when I arrived, but there’s still a lot left… I need to do something about them first. But I don’t have any long-range skills.
“Amariaz!”
“I got it. ‘Air Pressure Blade’!”
“I’m in, too! ‘Thunder Cannon’!”
Semi-transparent blades of various kinds formed and flew toward the angels. As they struck, they burst with a high-pitched noise, wounding the angels.
A sharp crackling sound concentrated in my hands. A white and yellow sphere gathered electricity, and while it started large, it gradually shrank, emitting a strong light. As white lightning began to crackle around it, I thrust it toward the enemy.
Bzzzt…!
In nearly an instant, the lightning streaked across the sky, sweeping through the area as it unleashed the “Thunder Cannon.” The path it carved remained etched in the clouds, and the angels near where it struck were electrocuted and began falling.
“Wow! Lize-san, your ‘Thunder Cannon’ charges faster now!”
“Right?! All that training paid off!”
Amariaz, impressed by the sheer power of my attack, redirected her focus to controlling her “Air Pressure Blades.” She took down the angels I had missed one by one, giving them no chance to counterattack.
However, there were still many enemies.
Some of the angels, unfazed by our attacks, were using their skills, either defending themselves or launching counterattacks. A few seemed to be using pseudo-skills, moving swiftly and closing in on us.
“Access is closed!”
“Gah!”
The white mass surged up, ignoring its own mass, swallowing one of the approaching angels and crushing it with a dull sound.
This was Abyss-san’s preferred method of combat.
The white mass was a part of Abyss,-san which he could freely manipulate and expand, ignoring mass constraints. However, he had to stay connected to it at all times. Since it could stretch infinitely, it wasn’t much of a problem.
However, this “Flesh Transformation” was good at spreading horizontally but struggled to rise vertically. As a result, he let some of the other approaching angels escape. It was inevitable since his movements slowed down.
“Now, it’s your turn, Yuuzen!”
“Right! ‘Air Pressure Barrier’!”
Bang!
The angel that had escaped Abyss-san’s clutches slammed into a suddenly transparent wall. This instantly deployable skill was very handy.
The angel halted momentarily upon hitting the wall. I clenched my fist, stepped forward, and unleashed my skill.
“‘Exploding Fist’!”
Boom!!
Several angels were blown away simultaneously. I watched them fall and took a deep breath, releasing my vigilance.
“Got them!”
“More are still coming! And they’re all pseudo-angels, aren’t they? Just how many are there…?”
“Looks like Tekeris made quite a few.”
“Oh, that troublemaker…”
Amariaz and Lize-san had already been briefed about Tekeris-san’s true motives and the angels’ real purpose along the way. Amariaz seemed to know even more, but I couldn’t ask him with Abyss-san and Lize-san around. I’ll get the full story when the time is right.
But angels flying in the air? That’s not fair. I don’t have any long-range attack skills. I’ll have to leave it to Lize-san and Amariaz.
“Damn, the angels aren’t coming down.”
“Well, I am here, after all.”
“Can’t you extend that mass a bit more?”
“Nope!”
“With my ‘Thunder Cannon,’ I can reach them anywhere, so I’ll keep firing away!”
Lize-san began charging two “Thunder Cannons” in both hands. However, the angels seemed to be on high alert for this attack, and various assaults began to rain down from above.
“Ha!”
The white mass moved and created a roof to protect Lize-san. It Absorbed or deflected all the attacks, and then Lize-san popped out, releasing both “Thunder Cannons” simultaneously. Several angels high in the sky fell, visible even to the naked eye.
If we kept repeating this, we could steadily reduce their numbers.
“…But it doesn’t look like it will be that easy.”
Looking ahead, Amariaz saw what appeared to be reinforcements for the angels flying in.
