The Reincarnated Extra - Ch. 423
* * *
Kobdalian, with a solemn expression, released a small fireball from his mouth.
A fireball created using his supernatural ability, 【Raging Flames】.
He’s on a rest day, but he can still use this level of power without any problem.
And that fireball flew straight… and hit the battered corpse of a Red Kobu warrior, setting it ablaze.
This warrior was a veteran Kobudai who acted as the rearguard during their escape from the monster.
Covered in wounds from the monster’s tentacle attack… he somehow managed to reach the village… but that was his limit.
He must have been swimming with only his willpower, gravely injured.
As soon as he reached the village, and saw Clan Chief Kobdalian’s face…
He threw himself onto the ground and stopped moving.
This… is a warrior’s funeral.
The warrior’s remains, enveloped in Kobdalian’s 【Raging Flames】, were quickly burned to ashes.
The smell of his burning scales and fins, and his flesh…
The heat penetrated evenly throughout his body.
<<>>
Kobdalian said solemnly, closing his eyes.
The other warriors followed suit.
The sound of sobs could be heard from the shadows of the rocks in the village.

<<>>
A few minutes later.
Kobdalian was holding a meeting, sitting in a circle with the warriors.
He’s the Clan Chief… who has to lead the village and continue fighting.
He can’t afford to be sentimental forever.
<<>>
<<>>
Kobdaroze nodded at Kobdalian’s question.
<<>>
Kobdaroze said that, shivering as he recalled the terrifying figure of the monster.
Two arms, two legs, and hair flowing from its head.
That grotesque figure, far removed from that of a fish.
Just imagining it… made him feel like his mind was being eroded.
<<>>
Another veteran Red Kobu warrior, Kobdaold, added to the trembling Kobdaroze’s words.
<<>>
<<>>
<<>>
The Black Kobu Tribe in the west has been quite active recently.
Skirmishes over territory are frequent.
The Blue Kobu Tribe in the south, although small in number, is not a force that can be ignored.
And on top of that… a monster of unknown origin has appeared.
Kobdalian couldn’t help but sigh at the troublesome situation.
<<>>
Kobdaroze, seeing Kobdalian like that, muttered involuntarily.
He wants to be stronger.
As a warrior, stronger, stronger…
He’s still so inexperienced.
Since facing that monster today… Kobdaroze has completely lost his confidence.
How weak he is…
As a warrior… he has to protect everyone in the village…
He has to protect Kobdalian…
<<>>
But here, Kobdaroze, who was lost in thought, was startled by those words, looked up from his downcast face.
The one who spoke, standing before his eyes, was… the young Clan Chief, Kobdalian.
<<>>
Kobdalian, although his face looked a little tired… said that and smiled powerfully.
Seeing that smile… Kobdaroze’s cheeks, already red, blushed even more.
<<>>
Kobdaroze, embarrassed, deliberately shouted that, spun around, and winked at Kobdalian.
<<>>
<<>>
<<>>
Kobdaroze puffed up his cheeks in anger at the veteran warriors who teased him with their jeers.
Laughter filled the meeting place.
<<>>
But that cheerful atmosphere didn’t last long.
A young Kobudai… flew into the meeting place, gasping for air, with a desperate expression.
<<>>
<<>>
<<>>
The young Kobudai, whose hump had just begun to grow, took a few rough breaths, as the warriors patted his back with their fins.
And then, he looked at Kobdalian and shouted…
