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 60

3-10. Subduing Shorouwo

The tongue that had come out of its mouth was completely regenerated.

Not a single scratch, and saliva dripped, forming strands.

Attempting to land a ‘Penetrating Hand’ after dodging its relentless attacks, but it skillfully avoided all the attacks.

It seems that the three deer that were eyeing us earlier are fixated on Amariaz.

Thanks to ‘Substitution,’ he takes no damage from their attacks. Although he seems to be engaging them, relying solely on ‘Spatial Awareness’ doesn’t allow him to move his body effectively. There seems to be a slight delay.

He couldn’t synchronize the timing while trying to dodge the deer’s charge.

However, with ‘Substitution’ in effect, he successfully used ‘Air Pressure Swords’ to explode and defeat one of the deer. After that, the deer seemed a bit cautious, but shaking its head a few times, it quickly charged at Amariaz.

After causing another explosion with ‘Air Pressure Swords’ to inflict damage, the deer collapsed to the ground.

“I don’t like self-destructive attacks! But is it still coming! Yuuzen-kun! Five more are coming this way!”

“What!? Tell me before you say such things!”

Is the tongue’s attack speed increasing? I can’t get close!

Getting caught seems like a hassle.

In any case, I don’t want to be caught by that tongue, so I’m dodging, but this is pointless!

I really want to tie it up with ‘Ivy Ropes,’ but there seems to be no vines nearby!

“I’ve had enough! ? Explosive Fist? !”

I punch the ground, turning it upside down with explosions.

A large amount of soil flies towards Shorouwo, successfully causing temporary blindness, but at that moment, the tongue moves vigorously in all directions.

It was an attack that covered a wide area, so I also took one hit, getting blown away. It was more powerful than I thought, but I quickly regained my posture and turned my gaze back to Shorouwo.

“What a pain…”

“Can I leave that to you!?”

“It might take some time!”

“Please, as soon as possible! Yuuzen-kun created another ‘Pneumatic Barrier,’ and the deer are ramming their horns into it!”

“What!?”

Turning around, I see two deer repeatedly slamming their large horns into the ‘Pneumatic Barrier’ I created.

I thought it wouldn’t break easily, but for some reason, cracks are starting to appear.

Wha-wha-wha-what!?

I thought I made it quite sturdy, why does it seem like it’s about to break!?

If that breaks, Beddrock will be taken away!

I wasn’t considering letting it happen… but first, I have to do something about this, or they won’t let me go!

Bang, bang!

After slamming its tongue twice on the ground, Shorouwo approaches again.

Ugh, it’s gross, but there’s no other choice!

There’s a river nearby!

I’ll clean up later!

With determination, I receive the attack without avoiding it.

There’s a small impact, but nothing serious. However, Shorouwo immediately tries to retract its tongue.

But during an attack, there’s a momentary pause when it makes direct contact.

Without missing that moment, I use ‘Penetrating Hand’ and cut the tongue in two.

“Gurlub!”

“Ugyaaah, gross! ? Pneumatic Barrier? !”

“Gu!?”

Grabbing the tongue, I immediately created a ‘Pneumatic Barrier.’

The place I created it is just above the ground, and the tongue is stuck between it.

Since I can’t move it from where I created it, as long as I don’t pull it out, it can’t escape.

I’m firmly holding the tip I cut off and trapping it with the ‘Pneumatic Barrier,’ so it seems to be struggling to pull it back.

Alright, it’s finally my turn.

While holding the tongue, it’s gross, but…!

I take a stance resembling the Oni Dance with my free left fist, put power into it, and use ‘Explosive Fist’ to blow Shorouwo away!

” ? Explosive Fist? !”

Crash… Kaboom!

The most powerful explosion I can currently produce hits Shorouwo directly, destroying the ‘Pneumatic Barrier.’ The impact digs into the ground, causing several trees in the line of fire to fall, and a rock larger than my back bounces and rolls away.

Animals, surprised by the explosion, briefly jump, looking around in confusion before fleeing.

The deer that was grappling with Amariaz also shook its horns and then fled.

There was nothing left where Shorouwo was just now.

But, since Amariaz said that physical attacks aren’t effective, I immediately started running to where it fell.

The moment I get close, Shorouwo is already on the ground.

Taking a stance with my left hand in a knifehand position, I use ‘Penetrating Hand’ to sever its neck.

Even though it kept moving for a while, its movements gradually slowed, and it eventually stopped moving altogether.

“…Haah… My senses are returning.”

I see, I need to defeat it to regain my senses.

Well, in any case, it was an opponent I had to defeat.

Monsters often have troublesome magic…

Alright, let’s bring this back for now.

…My baggage seems to have increased.
