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 90
4-10. How to reverse the situation
After rushing over, he immediately called out to Amariaz.
“Amariaz, are you okay!?”
“How did you get free!?”
“I don’t know! I just screamed ‘get out’ in my mind and I could!”
“Wait, let me try too!”
“Got it!”
Abyss seemed to be fine with Yuuzen checking on him. She would likely inform them if she were to attack, so he focused on rescuing him!
Grabbing his hand, he mentally urged him to break free.
And just like that, the white mass around Amariaz lost its strength, and he easily pulled his hand out.
However, as expected, he felt a slight drain of magical energy from his body.
“This…!”
“Do you know something? Is this a skill?”
“It’s a skill! It’s called ‘Collapse’!”
“Coll–?”
Not a barrier, but Collapse.
This skill apparently allows the user to destroy barriers by utilizing magic power equal to or greater than that contained within the barrier.
Since the restraint from earlier was imbued with magic power, it seemed he could use it.
He was relieved that this skill manifested here.
All right, with ‘Collapse,’ I have nothing to fear from her!
Let’s focus on escaping while being prepared to fight!
“Is this okay!?”
“Perfect!”
As Amariaz waved his hand, several ‘Air Pressure Swords’ materialized in the air.
It seemed like he was completely ready to attack, but he hasn’t forgotten that our priority is to escape, right?
Is it okay?
Still amidst the rising black and soil smoke, a strange sensation was detected.
Amariaz, seemingly aware of it through ‘Spatial Awareness,’ heightened his vigilance and narrowed his gaze even further.
Brushing away the smoke, Abyss emerged, barely holding her body together.
While she seemed to have barely withstood the explosion, her body parts were scattered.
Her abdomen was barely connected by a thread, and her chest and left side were missing.
Only her head and neck remained, but she looked troubled as she scratched her head with her remaining right arm.
“How can I make you believe me…”
Despite her words, which still sounded composed, fear gripped me.
Despite her body being so beaten up, she could speak normally, and that was astonishing.
She seemed almost immortal.
Such concerns crossed his mind, and they didn’t seem entirely unfounded.
The white mass at their feet regained its strength and began to gather towards Abyss as if it had been restored.
Fusing with her melted lower body, as the scattered white mass gathered, her body gradually returned to its original form.
Strangely, her clothes were also recreated, and an unharmed devil stood before us.
“Um, I really… I’m on your side, though…”
“…”
When she doesn’t show any hostility to this extent, it makes him start to doubt if they were wrong.
Though they don’t let their guard down, Amariaz and Yuuzen exchange glances.
“Doesn’t this seem… strange?”
“But there’s still the possibility of shapeshifting…”
“True, but…”
“Hey, I don’t have shapeshifting abilities! The skills I have are ‘Flesh Transformation’ and ‘Individual Complete Manipulation’!”
“‘Individual Complete Manipulation’ sounds like a brainwashing skill!”
“What!?”
Oh no, this guy is dangerous!
Seriously, she’s really dangerous!
I don’t think we should trust her after all!
I remained vigilant without lowering my guard. However, Amariaz slowly began to deactivate his skills.
“Huh!? Amariaz, what’s wrong? Did you get brainwashed!?”
“No, I’m fine. It seems like she really is on our side.”
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing those words, Abyss seemed genuinely relieved, sighing in relief.
But he still couldn’t trust her completely. He is really curious as to why Amariaz can assert that she’s an ally.
As he stared at him with suspicion, he gestured to calm down and started explaining.
“I believed she was an ally after hearing about her skills. ‘Individual Complete Manipulation’ is a brainwashing skill, but it can make someone a hostage just by making eye contact. If she intended harm, she would have taken a hostage, and there would be no need to fight at a disadvantage. Besides, she seemed somewhat reluctant to fight.”
“Wait, you can brainwash someone with just eye contact!?”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“I thought it would take time because it’s a skill…”
“Oh, I see.”
Wasn’t my nose put out of joint there?
Well, whatever…
Yeah, Amariaz’ explanation somehow made me understand that Abyss might be an ally.
…Which means…
Did we just attack someone who was trying to help us?
“I’m so sorry!!”
“No, no, no, it’s okay!! I’m almost immortal, you know!! More importantly…”
While cutely tilting her head, she rested her chin on her hand.
Abyss stares at me intently, seemingly lost in thought.
“Yuuzen, what was that skill you used?”
“? I heard it from Amariaz, it’s called ‘Collapse.'”
“Ah!!!”
Amariaz suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Surprised, Abyss and Yuuzen turned to him.
What did he notice? As they pondered, he suddenly turned towards Yuuzen, grabbing his shoulder.
“Whoa!”
“We might have found a way to counter the angels!!”
“”Huh!?””
He just realized something from our conversation earlier!
I don’t think it had anything to do with it, though!
But Amariaz’s eyes were filled with hope.
With this, he believed that we could surely counter the angels, who were trying to recruit humans as allies without knowing their numbers or strength.
He squeezed my hand with determination and said to me.
“Yuuzen-kun!”
“W-What?”
“Let’s go free those four entities!”
“”….. Eehh?!””
Even Abyss, a devil, was taken aback by his words, and we both exclaimed in astonishment.
