Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～

Chapter 128

Ch . 128 Large Slug Hell

Small slugs came out of the hole one after the other . It’s useless to keep killing them . I’ll just push through the small slugs and let out a [[Scorching Breath]] into the hole . Since there is significant difference in status, I should be fine with taking some damage even if I were to get stuck .

The question however, just how far did the large slug dig? I hope the fire can get to it, but if you get surrounded inside you will have trouble getting out of it . Since the sand that makes up the walls are thick I can’t detect any signs all too well .

Should I pour in seawater?

Its ability to breed is too high . Why are you so unreasonable large slug . At this rate the entire desert will be filled with large slugs . I wonder if they would refrain from cannibalism due to food shortage .

While swatting around the small slugs with my tail, I reach the hole where the big slug is .

Right then, [[Presence Sense]] picked up something from right below me .

This guy, he left me a horde of small slugs thinking it would be enough . This is rather disappointing . Thanks to [[Presence Sense]] I can tell it was already planning a surprise attack on me .

I jump off the ground and extend my wings to fly . Rotating myself I extend my arm downwards and fly down towards the ground . As expected, the large slug peeks through the sand .

Presence detected, entity confirmed!

Orders Confirmed!

Oh, looks like this was a surprise attack, which is a shame since currently I’m in perfect form!

I pierced its neck with my claw this time, and with the momentum from the fall I cut off its head .

The head of the large slug flies in the air and disperses . The rest of the body also begins to rupture and the flesh starts flying towards me .

No, this isn’t just pieces of flesh . One piece after the other, they’re all small slugs! What!?

It got me .

This is not the large slug .

It made a pseudo-body using the small slugs with [[Mirage]] . With [[Presence Sense]] I was able to see that it was actually hidden deeper underground .

The small slugs that attacked start wrapping around my body .

Wait! You’re making me really slimy!

Stop it, stop it, seriously stop! I’m sorry, please forgive me!

Even if there’s no physical damage I can still receive terrible mental damage!

Are they trying to suck my blood? Scales, I’m counting on you, please do your job .

The slug swarm is sucking my blood, it’s like I crossed into hell .

I could crush them with my nails, but I don’t want to touch them .

Should I send them all flying with [[Roll]]? No, that doesn’t sound too pleasant .

Isn’t this just an elaborate form of harassment . Well, in the first place it was supposed to be something small to buy time anyway . Whether it was earning time to escape, or to land a strike on me, it has certainly gained its chance .

For now I just have to endure it . This is my chance to sniff out the guy lurking in the ground .

Regardless of how slimy my body is, or if my blood is being sucked, right now I must focus .

I slightly bend my body and make my breathing rough so as to appear weaker than necessary .

The chewing slugs are tasting me a lot right now . It’s rarely possible to slurp dragon’s blood .

There was a reaction from [[Presence Sense]] under my tail . This time it’s the large slug .

Atta boy! jump in .

Ill kill you at that moment .

“Shaaaaaaaa!”

Along with the cry of the large slug, something sticks to my tail .

Ugh, get off now!

I pull the clinging large slug into the air from the ground with my tail . I bring in my limbs and tackle the large slug with my body using [[Roll]] .

“Jaaaaaaaa!!”

I send the large slug flying and scatter the small slugs clinging to my body . This is my chance to end it, but I can’t kill it as it is . I close my eyes and repeat my tackle with [[Roll]] against the large slug relying solely on [[Presence Sense]] . I chase the large slug and tackle it precisely so that it doesn’t fall to the ground .

It will dig another hole and run away again if I let get to the ground .

Let’s do this!

The large slug finally looks exhausted after the third round of juggling .

[416 experience points obtained]

[Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv–]] activated, 416 bonus points obtained]

Truly a C ranked monster .

The experience points were plentiful .

[[[Evil Plague Dragons]]’s Lv has risen from 30 to 36]

Oh, it rose up quite a bit . Although, I rather avoid fighting with slugs from now on .

Since the maximum Lv is 75, I’ve finally arrived at the turning point .

It’s time to start building up my list of good deeds .

I’ll have the ball rabbit teach me recovery magic .

[Characteristic Skill [[Presence Sense]] Lv rose from 3 to 4]

Oh, it went up again?

Maybe since I used it to kill the opponent this time .

Well, whether it is from fighting or hunting, it is important to properly raise it .

Still, there are a lot of small slugs left but… . I will have the ball rabbit take care of it .

It will be done soon, I wonder how Nina is holding up .

I redirect my eyes towards the oasis .

The shape begins distorting .

Huh? What, what happened .

The colorful flower garden loses its color, and the clear water changes to a brown color . It is obviously shallower than how I saw it earlier .

In the meantime the gorgeous paradise gradually disappears, only to leave behind a shallow brown swamp and dirty weeds competing for water . The remaining small slugs crawl in making a layer of slugs .

Hold on, what is this, whats going on here?

This is fraud, hey .

Sorry, but this isn’t what I expected .

Return it! Return my oasis!

I got covered in the slug’s body fluid for this oasis!

[Resistance Skill [[Illusion Resistance]] Lv rose from 1 to 2]

Too late!

I’ve already been deceived big time!

Come on, are you serious!

That oasis was a hallucination!

Hey! This is too cruel, I wouldn’t have fought if I knew that it was just some shallow swamp!

That large slug, it had a grudge against me and did this!
