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 35
2-21. Side -Uchikage- Reinforcements Arrive
Several familiar cries reached Uchikage’s ears.
All of them were the cries of monsters dwelling in the devil territory, and it seemed like they accurately pinpointed their location and were heading towards them.
Amariaz, who was nearby, also recognized those cries, and his face turned slightly pale.
“B-Bayloader and Mecchik, Dimor with Badevan…”
“You know a lot.”
“With my current abilities, I don’t think I can take down even one of them.”
“Do you have any usable skills?”
“I have a skill called ‘Air Pressure.’ But with my current magical power, I can’t use it yet. I can use ‘Air Pressure Sword’ and ‘Air Compression,’ as well as a skill called ‘Air Bullet.'”
“Which one uses the least magical power?”
“‘Air Bullet.'”
“Then fire it in rapid succession. I can dodge them.”
The cries were getting closer.
There were only four monsters, but each one was a powerful creature, and there was one among them that even Uchikage, a formidable creature himself, found troublesome.
That one must not be left unchecked.
If only his other leg were still intact, he might have managed somehow…
Thanks to a short rest, Amariaz had recovered enough to activate his skills.
It seemed like no bones were broken.
Relieved by this, he deployed ‘Air Bullet’ while protecting his still-sore back.
“What’s your name?”
“Amariaz.”
“I’m Uchikage. So, Amariaz, you seem to know a lot about monsters. Tell me about Bayloader and Badevan, the ones you mentioned earlier. I’m not familiar with those monsters.”
“Understood.”
While remaining vigilant ahead, Amariaz explained the characteristics of the two monsters.
“Bayloader is a reddish-black creature that looks like a boar inflated three times its size. It should use a charging attack called ‘Flying Bash.’ It has a hitbox slightly in front of its main body.”
“An evolved form of Red Boar…”
“Badevan is a white creature resembling a six-legged fox. Be careful because it uses illusion magic. It disappears when attacked, but it often strikes back during that timing. It’s effective to use long-range attacks to dispel it. By the way, its mouth opens sideways.”
“Understood.”
Among these two, Uchikage had to pay attention to Badevan.
Monsters that use illusions are generally tricky opponents.
Although Uchikage excelled in close combat, facing those four directly now was a challenge.
Even if there were illusions mixed in, it was doubtful whether he could notice.
But more than that, he had to be especially cautious of the other two.
Demol and Mecchik.
Demol had wings and resembled a wolf with a dark purple color.
It had a strange and creepy-looking skin that seemed hard yet soft, serving as a shield that mitigated slashing and magical attacks.
He had fought it once before, and even with all his strength, Uchikage couldn’t inflict any damage.
Presumably, it had evolved to withstand attacks from any kind of force in this world.
However, it had weaknesses.
Areas like the eyeballs and the inside of the mouth were not covered by the creepy skin.
If those areas could be targeted, it should be easily defeated.
And then, the other monster, Mecchik.
This one was the most troublesome.
It had a large eagle-like appearance, covered in a massive amount of feathers.
A monster capable of enveloping its body in flames, and these flames had the property of adhering to iron.
The flames flew towards iron like a magnet.
Since it’s flames, touching it would be hot and cause burns. Starting with a disadvantage just by having an iron weapon, but Mecchik, even though it can envelop itself in flames, cannot shoot them. So, there’s a need to get close… but if you get within ten meters, the flames fly towards the iron. Fast-moving Mecchik can enter the range of flame attacks from a safe distance. No matter how fast Uchikage is, that range is a bit too wide. Moreover, if Mecchik stays in place to protect an ally, a radius of ten meters becomes the range of automatic attacks.
“Really, it reminds me of someone’s flames.”
Uchikage lowered his posture, letting both arms hang limp.
As instructed, Amariaz remained vigilant in front, ready to shoot ‘Air Bullets’ at any moment.
The targets were Mecchik and Badevan.
Illusions created could be neutralized by shooting them with long-range attacks. However, this time, the most important task would be to prevent Mecchik from getting closer.
Amariaz, who knew almost everything about monsters, had a clear understanding of this.
If it’s enveloped in flames, it would stand out in this dark space. Additionally, by deploying ‘Spatial Awareness,’ he accurately determined the opponent’s positions.
“Demol and Bayloader in front! Above them is Mecchik! Three Badevans to the right!”
“First, take down Bayloader. Next is Demol. Hold the remaining two during that time.”
“Quickly! As quickly as possible, alright!?”
“I understand.”
Though Mecchik being close by was a bit worrisome, the priority was to take down the big prey first. If the number decreases, it reduces their strategic options.
Uchikage lightly tapped the base of his prosthetic leg.
It had been a while since he used this skill, and it was dubious whether it would endure. However, it had been refined many times, using various metals to enhance its strength. Trusting that it wouldn’t break easily, he proceeded.
“Now, you small fry. Here I come. ? Dark Medium? and ? Kijin Herculean Legs? “
