Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.-Chapter 393 Preparation.

After he finished with the visualization, crimson light birthed its new life between his joined fingers. The light crackled all over the place as if announcing its glory, bathing the area around Soma in red.

Multiple circles appeared around the dragon's massive body, one, two before it stopped in five counts. From within the circle, everyone in the place could hear a ferocious yet inanimate object clinking against each other.

From the seven circles, it shot seven crimson chains that wrapped around the dragon's limbs. In return, it restrained its hands, feet, and, last but not least, the tail, even though it was half cut.

However, it was effective in restraining its freedom. Soma himself didn't know how effective the sealing Technique was, but for a while, he needed some time to execute his thinking and eliminate his worry properly.

*"Roar!".

The roar that shook the atmosphere and struck his eardrums reverberated across the field. Soma's face stiffened as he saw a black mass of raw power begin to gather around the dragon's mouth.

"Crap!". Soma clapped his hands and let the chains do the rest before he leapt to the side. Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy

A black beam, smaller than the dragon breath Soma had faced, shot forward in a straight line; it travelled on land before it struck the tall building on its way. There is no explosion, only the corrosive effect of the miasma around the dragon began to bare its fangs.

"So that miasma was the cause of the dragon mutating and losing its reason, huh. Good for us!".

Indeed, the mutation's source was what made the dragon stronger and even bigger in appearance, but in exchange, it took away some intellect from the monster, which became Soma's advantage in this battle. Because if he faced the same dragon that had matured in the novel, he is hundred percent sure that he couldn't face it directly, let alone all the awakeners in this place.

However, even though it lost some of its rationales, the dragon still boasts its sturdy body and impenetrable scales it had, clearly giving him a headache, for thinking of the solution of how to strike it.

The ideal plan Soma had in mind was to borrow Xiao Lian's spear and use his power to infuse it to at least pierce its flesh. But he is worried about bringing her here.

*"Roar!".

"All hands began to attack!".

An angered roar and order mixed together created an amalgamation of the raid that sobered Soma's consciousness; he sighed in deep regret, feeling stupid for what he thought: 'I shouldn't hesitate! '

Soma looked down and saw the awakeners from the Japanese camp begin their attack, albeit only using the ranger one. He spotted two figures standing close to each other while being surrounded by other frontliners.

He descended to their place, which made everyone in place wary about his coming.

"Who are you?".

"A kid?".

"Impossible".

"It's okay, everyone. He is with me!".

Everyone was astounded by what they saw and in awe of a boy doing that all by himself, but Hiroshi's words calmed them down.

"Soma".

Hisako's cry brought everyone's attention to her, as her red hair fluttered in their eyes as she hugged the kid. Her action and the worried face she showed others only further raised question marks on their faces.

"Are you alright?". She separated from Soma and began to check the boy's appearance, but she saw no definite wound.

"Yeah, I'm okay".

"I'm glad".

"Soma, did you do all that stuff?" Hiroshi came forward and asked a question that had been on everyone else's minds.

Soma and all of them looked up, seeing the dragon struggling to break free from the chains that wrapped around its limbs. The only thing the dragon could do was move its wings and mouth, shooting out black beams.

'Wait, did the miasma power also prevent the dragon from using an elemental power? If that is so, then this is lucky for us'. Soma cheered internally before he turned to them and saw them gazing at him.

"Yes, I did that".

All the adults opened their eyes wide, and some of them even began to respect him in their hearts. However, those rules didn't happen to Hiroshi and Hisako, who understood the boys well.

They are deeply saddened as to how Soma obtained that amazing power. It must come from some self-sacrifice the boy always made. The two were clearly missed this time, as Soma himself volunteered to be confined and used that period in deep seclusion.

The Technique itself comes from understanding Sealing, Isolation, or even Loneliness. There are many concepts of it, but eventually, the Technique revealed that it was a technique to Seal or restrain something.

After the sealing, there would come a feeling of sorrow at losing all self-freedom, a sense of isolation from being separated from the dimension and wandering in a self-void, and then the pure emotion of madness that gnawed at everyone's heart when they kept diving into an emptiness.

That will open up a gaping hole in someone else's heart, making it easier for a person to be filled by either love or evil.

Soma had to endure several images of him experiencing it over and over in those closed spaces. Thankfully, Soma managed to overcome it with the skills he is most prominent about: Puppeteer and Adapt.

He let his mind wander for a bit, but after getting the adult on his side, Soma began to open his mouth and asked to give him a favour.

"Mrs. Hisako, can you help me with something?" As soon as he saw that, Soma could see a faint crestfallen expression on Hisako's face. She tried her best to hide it, but it was futile.

"Mother, can you connect me with Hina and the other?".

"Yes, of course! Here, take my phone and use it as much as you want".

Hisako tossed her phone toward Soma as if it were nothing but a pebble. Hiroshi gave Soma an apologetic smile while the other awakeners, aside from them, had their eyes bloated in shock upon seeing the revelation.

*"Roar!".

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

With the dragon's enraged roar in the background, Soma places the phone near his ear and waits for the other recipient to respond.

"...Hina!".

***

When Hina and the other two were finished with their training and enjoying their break time, they were in a quiet and tranquil place in the lone pavilion that stood on top of a crystal-clear pond. The subtle fresh air that they inhaled brightened their vision, and the crisp and faint cry of rustling leaves gave their hearts a sense of peace.

It's been days since Viana informed them of what had transpired behind the scenes. At first, all of them were furious at how dare Viana use their significant other as bait. However, after mulling it over, they realized there was no gain in being angry at a person who is probably being used by Soma also.

So, the three began their action by training and sparring with each other every day, trying to understand each other's weaknesses and enrich themselves by sharing their understanding.

Under each other tutelage, the three could now see a bit of improvement from the way they used to. The only thing lacking in their training is the absence of Dungeon in their improvement.

The country itself is rich in Dungeon resources, and many have sprouted from the ground, but there is no time to consider them when the location itself must be reached by private jet in minutes and half a day on foot.

Sipping a fragrant and mild black tea the caretaker in the Xiao family had prepared, Hina put the glass back with a clink before intending to take some cookies.

"...Le, leader, look!".

All of a sudden, Serafina interrupted. Her demeanour was rigid and lacked refinement, as she used to. She was tinkering with her phone as usual while reading the information she received from Violet.

However, her current figure was restless, and her hands trembled. Her voice cracked as she saw the images on her phone.

"What is it?".

What Serafina showed to Hina was the live streaming of the dragon raid. On the screen, Hina saw a spark of crimson lightning bloom on the battlefield that had turned worse.

After seeing the lightning, her body stiffened, and an overwhelming emotion gushed forth from her heart, almost overflowing.

"Mm, what is it?".

Xiao Lian, who nodded off, almost drifted to her sleep, awoken by the commotion the other two made. Her still groggy eyes stared at the screen until, a few seconds later, they shot wide open.

"Soma!?".

It's unusual to see Xiao Lian show her raw emotion like that. She snatched the phone and looked at the screen meticulously while Serafina and Hina stood there, holding back the urge to go toward his place.

However, Hina and the others know it all too well that if they go there, they would bring nothing but a burden for himself. So, here they are, fighting their own conflicting emotions.

"What should we do, Leader?".

Serafina opened her mouth despite knowing they had the same thoughts. Xiao Lian clenched the phone in her hand and looked toward Hina for confirmation.

"We…".

At that time, another vibration from Hina's phone caused the three to halt. Hina, the recipient, took out her phone only to see her mother's name on it. Knowing that her mother is also part of the raid group, her heart is crushed by a foreboding sense of fear that something has happened to them.

Her breathing began to rage, and her clear vision began to shake; Hina could hear her internal heart thump wildly and almost burst her eardrum. She bit her lips and slid her finger on the display, preparing for the worst.

{...Hina!}
