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 88
4-8. Confrontation! The Formless devil!
The thrown “Air Pressure Sword” exploded in the rear.
In the aftermath, it seemed like the devil had taken a bit of damage, as it was pushed back by the wind pressure, taking a step forward to brace itself.
In the next moment, I directed my fist towards the devil.
“Exploding Fist!”
“No, that won’t work.”
A white wall rose up to shield the devil.
Unable to stop my momentum, my fist slammed into the wall, causing an explosion inside.
However, it seemed to be completely contained.
A muffled sound like “bofhun” echoed from within the white wall, and only black smoke emerged.
“What!? Why are you attacking? I just wanted to have a little chat!?”
“I don’t care!”
“Waah!”
Amariaz threw the “Air Pressure Sword” from behind, causing it to explode. But it too sunk into the white wall, inflicting little damage.
What is up with this wall! I can’t get through at all!?
Grrrr!!
Despite exerting all my strength, there was no sign of getting through.
It seemed like my hand was completely sealed.
Realizing this, the devil casually waved its finger, causing the white wall to morph significantly and swallow me whole.
“Ohh!!”
“Yuuzen-kun!!”
“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay… I just need to make it possible to talk… for a bit…”
“Haa!!”
“So, will you listen to me!? Seriously!!”
Amariaz continuously threw the “Air Pressure Sword,” causing explosions, but all of it was neutralized by the white wall.
So, he mixed the “Air Compression” that I had been compressing until now with the “Air Pressure Sword” and threw it in.
Since it had been compressing air rapidly for a long time, its power should be tens of times that of the “Air Pressure Sword.”
Amariaz instinctively jumped away from the spot and hid behind a large tree.
There was still a possibility of being caught in that explosion, but getting too far away wasn’t good either.
The devil seemed to sense something off with Amariaz moving away, peeking its head out from the white wall.
Just when it let out a sigh of relief, an unbelievable shock hit the devil directly.
Bam!
The ground was gouged, and most of the surrounding trees were blown away.
A large amount of soil was sent flying into the air, creating a dust cloud.
Amariaz barely endured the attack where he was, immediately rushing out and assuming a fighting stance.
He quickly used “Spatial Awareness” to pinpoint the devil’s and Yuuzen’s positions, but…
It turned out they were still in the same place as before.
“Wow, that’s amazing…”
“What!?”
The white wall melted away.
Spreading across the ground, it was almost instantly sucked towards the devil’s feet.
And there, the devil… melted.
Its upper body retained the form of the devil, but the lower half completely melted, becoming a shapeless white mass writhing about.
The ever-changing white mass created something like a prison, trapping Yuuzen inside.
Inside, Yuuzen was desperately trying to escape, exerting force on the restrained arms, but the restraints seemed very sturdy, rendering it almost meaningless.
“Hmm, maybe it’s better if I catch you at once…? I might get scolded by Dacia-sama… and by Uchikage… Why is this happening…”
She muttered in a voice that couldn’t be heard by us, her face slightly pale.
Seeing her like that, Amariaz seemed to misunderstand that there were limitations to the devil magic she was currently using, and he prepared to attack.
Yuuzen, noticing this, aided with his own skills.
“Air Bullet!”
“Ivy Ropes!”
Sharp bullets of air and a large mass of vines flew towards the devil.
The devil submerged its upper body into the white mass, completely neutralizing the attack.
With no one to catch it, the vines began to wrap around the mass, but as soon as it started to move, they snapped apart.
Then, the white mass spread out like water across the ground, rapidly advancing towards Amariaz.
Though he noticed it, he couldn’t react in time and ended up stepping on the extended mass. Trying to flee instinctively, he found his foot sinking.
“Oh!?”
“Gotcha!”
“?Pneumatic Barrier? !”
With a thud, a semi-transparent barrier swiftly emerged from the ground.
The attack seemed to have been generated from beneath the mass, causing it to momentarily hover in the air.
It was a barrier generated by shockwaves.
While it was a skill with a fast activation speed useful for both offense and defense, it didn’t seem to have much effect on the enlarged mass.
Amariaz, thrown off balance, ended up placing his hand on the white mass.
Immediately, his hand sank in, and despite pulling, he couldn’t free himself.
Then, a clapping sound echoed.
“All right, all right, that’s enough! Seriously, what’s up with you guys attacking out of nowhere? I came here to help because Dacia-sama and Uchikage asked me to!”
“”Huh?””
Both Amariaz and Yuuzen inadvertently responded in unison to the unexpected words that came out of the devil’s mouth.
