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 75
3-25. Retribution
Around Kyuuri, numerous masses of soil had already been generated, circling around her.
There were too many of them, and Tatareba couldn’t handle them all by herself.
Still, Kyuuri showed no sign of fleeing.
With the commotion that had ensued thus far, reinforcements should be on their way, but…
Did she have such confidence that she would be fine no matter what came?
However, she did seem to possess that level of skill.
While it wasn’t clear whether the magic she was using was a skill… it would be wise to assume it was.
You never know what might happen with skills.
Those masses of soil behaved strangely.
While the initial impact wasn’t very powerful, the power increased significantly after they were destroyed.
Could those be some kind of explosive skill?
If so, then destroying them would be a mistake… but when they were slammed into the ground, the soil turned into powerful projectiles.
Even if she defended against it or left it alone, dealing with that attack would be difficult.
So perhaps the only option was indeed to deal with Kyuuri herself.
Tatareba melted her sword and created a giant shuriken.
She aimed it straight at Kyuuri.
This shuriken had considerable mass and was heavy.
Even if those masses of soil attacked, they wouldn’t be able to easily deflect its trajectory.
It was a special shuriken that only an oni could throw.
Not knowing this, Kyuuri immediately clashed two masses of soil against the shuriken.
The moment they hit, the masses of soil were destroyed, but their fragments rapidly gained momentum and attacked the shuriken.
However, Kyuuri looked slightly surprised at the shuriken, which remained completely still.
She quickly moved her wings and evaded into the sky.
As the shuriken passed beneath her… for a moment, a shadow was cast.
Using “Shadow Shift” the moment Kyuuri’s shadow was cast on the shuriken, Tatareba emerged on top of it.
She then melted the shuriken and transformed it into chains, wrapping them around Kyuuri’s body.
“Huh!?”
” ?Shadow Medium – Metamorphosis? !”
“Guh!?”
She transformed the chain-like “Shadow Medium” into thorn-like spikes, piercing Kyuuri’s body.
As all the wrapped chains turned into thorns, long black sharp spikes protruded from her body.
But Tatareba wasn’t finished yet.
While the thorns were still embedded, she pulled the chains with all her might using her oni strength.
Pouring her entire strength into it, Tatareba exerted her force as if she intended to kill.
Unless it was a significantly large monster, this attack would tear flesh apart and reduce it to shreds.
Since the target this time was Kyuuri, who had a youthful appearance, there should be no worries about being thwarted or destroyed.
Whatever happens next doesn’t matter.
Tatareba had decided to kill Kyuuri here to repay the debt of being taken in.
“Time to repay the favor!!”
Gnn!!
With a powerful pull, the chains made an unpleasant sound as they reverb effect.
Then the chains were slammed into the ground.
A large amount of blood fell to the ground, absorbed as if it were being sucked in.
Next, Tatareba landed quietly, and a squishy object made a wet sound as it fell behind her.
She stood up quietly and looked back.
There, a mass of flesh, now bright red, lay sprawled out, motionless.
Or so it should have been.
“…Huh?”
“Y-you… insolent…”
The flesh before her had holes gouged into it, with empty spaces throughout the body from stretched wounds, relentlessly pouring out a massive amount of blood while glaring at Tatareba.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was almost no original shape left in the upper body.
Shaking its legs like a newborn fawn, its arms drooped loosely with all the skin peeled off, leaving them bright red.
The upper body’s clothing had already torn away, exposing the chest and abdomen, where internal organs and bones were visible.
Despite clearly suffering fatal wounds, she remained standing.
Her eyes were wide open, as if they might pop out at any moment, and were dyed red.
The halo of the angel shone crimson, and the wings, stained with blood, also turned red.
An existence vastly different from the typical image of an angel was there.
Undead?
Such a word crossed Tatareba’s mind.
With wounds this fatal… wounds that should be instantly fatal, she wasn’t even collapsing.
In fact, she was still here, directing her hatred and murderous intent toward Tatareba.
Was this thing truly “alive”?
Could it be some kind of fusion between an undead and something else, like a biological weapon?
An incredible monster was what Tatareba was now facing…
“You… are… going to die… but… you will… suffer.. first.”
“Ghh…”
Thunk.
A fist deeply plunged into Tatareba’s abdomen.
Unable to even utter a sound, she was thrown like rubber, smashing through dozens of walls of houses as she flew away.
Having witnessed that, Kyuuri clenched her fist tightly.
” ?Death Mark? .”
After embedding the skill, she now placed her hand on her own body.
The squishy sensation was disgusting, but since she was still alive, she could handle it.
” ?Regeneration? .”
In an instant, her cells regenerated, and the lost blood returned.
However, it seemed her magical power had significantly decreased.
Considering the fatal wounds she had suffered, this was probably inevitable… but she still had enough energy to move her wings.
“Time to get to work.”
With a flap of her wings, she soared high into the sky.
Then Kyuuri glided towards the Gharott Kingdom.
