Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ - Chapter 288

288. Abyss Breakdown

“Vu~e~e!” “Vu~ee~e~e!”
“Vu~e!” “Vu~e~a!” “Vu~e~a~a!”

Abyss, Heavy Abyss, and Mother Guards all gather in front of Mother.
They stack on each other until they became a dense wall of wriggly blackness.
So they intend to block my〖Roll〗with that wall of Abyss, huh.
That many Abyss stacked in one place is already traumatic enough as it is, but I roll ahead anyway.

I want to end this nightmare as soon as possible.
That’s the only thing in my head now.
No messy-looking wall of grossness is gonna stop me.

I crash through the wall of Abyss.
Showers of bodily fluid stream across my body as I flatten every Abyss that comes my way.

【Obtained 144 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg: Lv—〗skill gives you additional 144 Experience Points.】

【Obtained 156 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg: Lv—〗skill gives you additional 156 Experience Points.】

I feel disgusted, everywhere around me is nothing but black grossness.
There are about ten messages that get sent in my head every second.

【Obtained 138 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg: Lv—〗skill gives you additional 138 Experience Points.】
【The Lv of〖Ouroboros〗went up from Lv 83→84.】

This is so weird…… even though I’m gaining exp points so easily, I don’t feel happy at all.

The wall was thicker than I thought and I was gradually slowing down before eventually coming to a stop.
Not good, not good. I stopped at the worse possible place, right in the middle of the wall.
Now I’m getting mobbed by a horde of Abyss from all sides again.

“Vu~e~a~a~a~a~a~a~aaa!”

Mother lets out her shrilling cry.
Then, one of her tentacles penetrate the wall of Abyss, and whip me in the chest at close range.
It was a direct hit.
Bits of my scales were scraped off and blood flew out.
The whip sent me flying.

I spread my wings wide, float in the air, shrug off any Abyss clinging on me and bite at Mother’s tentacle that whipped me.
The whip sure sent me a great distance but I hung onto it, like a kite floating in the air with the tentacle as the string.
Mother’s body slightly moved.
I was able to get this close to her, might as well deal as much damage as I can.

【“I think we should just let them blow us away and we’ll fight at a distance……”】

No, we’ll keep going.
Mother ordered all her Mother Guards to join the meat wall.
That wall is currently in tatters and the Mother Guards are all under the other Abyss.
Before they reorganize themselves, we have to attack Mother now.

【“Not again……”】

You use〖Fake Life〗to revive someone and have it be a distraction.
I don’t like abusing that skill too much, but I can’t be picky about it now.

【“Ya want to revive an Abyss? Dat’ll never work……”】

No, we’ll need someone who’s close to Mother. The Dragon God.

“Gra~a?!”

There are a lot of Mother Guards standing on top of it after all.
Anyway, do it now.
Don’t waste this chance.

“…………”

Partner reluctantly nods and uses〖Fake Life〗on the Dragon God’s skeleton who’s right next to Mother.
The Dragon God’s skeleton gets wrapped in black light, and slowly, it rises from the dirt.

“………… ?”

The Dragon God’s moving corpse looks at Mother.
The Abyss and the Mother Guards on top of him slip and fall down, confused at what just happened.
Other Abyss ran away from the moving corpse.
But, Mother’s elite squadron, the Mother Guards, rush in to crush the newly revived Dragon God.

Like always, any monster I revive starts out as Lv 1, so the Dragon God was easily crushed by the Mother Guards.
In an instant, just as soon as it woke up from its deathly slumber, it fell back to sleep again.
Sorry for disturbing your sleep, Ryujin-senpai.
But with this, because of the slightest opening they made when they got distracted, Mother’s defensive formation has broken apart and is now weakened.

I extend my neck forward and open my mouth.
Alo sees the light from outside and crawls out on my tongue.
Seeing the chaos that’s happening below, she was shocked at first but then immediately understood the situation so she raises her arm and chants her magic.

“Uh, Ea-…… Earth magic,〖Clay〗!”

Alo summons countless clay spikes from the ground, and although it wasn’t strong enough to pierce Mother, it still made her fall off balance.
The Mother Guards around Mother also lost their foothold due to the change in terrain and retreated back.

An intimidating〖Roll〗attack, Ryujin’s unexpected reanimation, and Alo’s terrain change with〖Clay〗.
These three factors played a vital role in exposing Mother wide open.
I’m not letting this chance get away.

I pull Mother’s tentacle that’s I’m grabbing hold of and use it to slingshot my way directly at her.
The tentacle was ripped off by the force and Mother staggered at the pain.
I put my claws up front, make myself as heavy as possible and pierce Mother’s forehead.

“Vu~e~a~a~aa~a~a~a~a~a!”

Her head cracks and breaks apart, spraying bodily fluid all over us.
The Abyss babies who were eating Mother’s back started panicking and they crawled out of their yellow gooey egg to attack me.

No more, no more!
Don’t you dare slobber me with that disgusting goo!

Meanwhile, the Mother Guards have stabilized themselves from the terrain change and are approaching us.

Alo jumps out of my mouth and lands on Mother’s head.

“Wind magic,〖Gale〗!”

The baby Abyss get blown away by Alo’s wind magic.
Nice one Alo, now I can focus on stabbing Mother and we can end this already.
With the baby Abyss gone, Mother’s back looks weirdly deformed and is sickening to look at, but I ignore it and face Mother.

I deepen my claws inside Mother’s head.
Partner, let’s bite at her at the same time, make it as deep as possible!

【“Eeee~eh…… ya serious?”】

If you don’t do it, we’ll be fighting the horde of Abyss again!

【”…………”】

Partner closes her eyes, then she slightly opens her right eye and looks at Mother again.

【”…… L-Let’s find another way”】

One, two, and-……!

Partner hastily opens her mouth after hearing me count.
At the same time, I also open my mouth, and we both bare our fangs at Mother.

My mouth gets filled with very bitter juice.
And, I think I felt something wriggling in my cheeks.
No, no, it’s just my imagination. Please let it be so.

“Vu~e~a~a~aa~a~a~a~a~a!”

Swish, swoosh, whip, spat. 

Mother’s tentacles whip at me on my back.
I heal with〖Self-Regeneration〗and take off to the skies.
I wasn’t sure what I was thinking at first and when I decided to fly, but I somehow managed to lift Mother up with me while we continue to bite her.
Alo noticed that we suddenly became airborne and jumped back to the ground.

Mother resists even while getting carried up in the air but I slash her with my claws as we soar higher.
I pushed to my limit trying to stay airborne while defending against Mother’s tentacle attacks with my tail.

After flying about 30 meters high in the sky, I stop flapping my wings and use〖Roll〗.
My center of gravity was so unbalanced I kinda messed up the rotation a bit there, but I was still able to rotate nonetheless and I accelerate my rolling speed.

Simultaneously with Partner, we both open our mouths and release Mother from our hold.
Mother, who was about to fall from a height of over thirty meters, gets hit by our roll-enhanced〖Dragon Tail〗.
Mother falls back to the earth with great force.

【Normal Skill〖Skyfall〗has risen from Lv 3→4.】

I close my wings and arrow-dive at Mother.
While falling, I run down the cliff wall, and when Mother was about to crash into the ground, I jump from the wall down at Mother, readying my claws and fall directly on top of her, with my claws piercing her again.
The whole cliffside shook from the impact and the ground immensely cracks.
Mother spat out bodily fluids out of her mouth.

【Normal Skill〖Ground Upheaval〗has risen from Lv 1→2.】

Mother’s large body twitches.
This should clinch it.
Man, the combo of〖Skyfall〗and〖Ground Upheaval〗is really effective.
I don’t mean to praise the hero for using this combo on me though.

“Vu~e~e~e~e~e~e……”

Mother squeals weakly, lightly moving her legs.
The other Abyss gathers around us.
They appear stunned seeing their boss beat up like this and have now lost their will to fight.

“Vu~e~e~e~e~e~e~ee~e~ee!”

Suddenly, Mother assaults a nearby Abyss.
The Abyss attempted to dodge but the difference in their speed was too high.
In no time at all, three Abyss were instantly devoured by Mother.
All that remained were twitchy Abyss legs and splattered bodily fluids.

C-Cannibal bastards……
Oh that’s right, I forgot Mother has the〖Food Reproduction〗skill.
Ball Rabbit had it too, that means eating food recovers them.

Mother drags her injured body and intends to target another Abyss.
I add more pressure into my claws, stopping Mother from advancing further.
Mother’s fangs get shut tight and was only a few centimeters away from an Abyss.
The Abyss then quickly runs away.

These darned Abyss…… they’re all backstabbers.
Well anyway, with this, their mass outbreak is as good as over.

“Vu~ee~e…… vu~e~e~e~ee~e……”

Mother still refuses to give up and extends one of her crooked tentacles on another nearby Abyss.
I step on the part of Mother’s head where the tentacle’s roots are.
Mother’s tentacles and legs start wriggling wildly until she finally stopped moving.

【Obtained 3240 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg: Lv—〗skill gives you additional 3240 Experience Points.】
【The Lv of〖Ouroboros〗went up from Lv 84→87.】

Woah…… that’s a lot……

【Title Skill〖Hero〗has risen from Lv 5→6.】

My〖Hero〗title went up……?
Then, does that mean I’m gonna get a new skill or something……?

【Obtained Normal Skill〖Holy: Lv1〗.】

I-It’s here!
Isn’t this the skill that’s supposedly able to dispel curses?
With this, I can finally say goodbye to all my worries about〖Dragon Moth Scales〗!

Let’s go ahead and try it!
〖Holy〗!〖Holy〗!
…… Eh, is it not working?

“Gra~a”

When Partner roared, a warm soothing light glows in front of me.
…… O-Oh, I see now.

Alo walks to my side.
Hm, guess I’ll take a quick check at how much Alo has leveled up.
She was blowing Abyss left and right after all.
Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ll be asking her to join me in any more battles anytime soon……

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
Name: Alo
Species: Revana Low Lich
Status: Cursed
Lv: 24/65
HP: 116/252
MP: 32/276
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

S-She gained 23 levels already……
Well, she was beating up Abyss here and there, so that must’ve been quite a lot of experience points for her.

I look at Mother’s body and confirm her death before facing the Dragon God’s remains.
Alo reaches out her hands to the Dragon God.

“……〖Clay〗”

The soil rises upward and covers the skeleton, sinking it underground.
Alo then holds her hands and lowers her head, like she’s praying.
I mimic her and lower my head as well, closing my eyes and giving dragon-senpai my best regards in the afterlife.

Now the Abyss outbreak is really over.
…… Right then, first things first, I’ll go take a looo~ong bath in the river.

But, when I looked up, something glowing green is looking at me from the top of the cliff.
I blinked once and saw ten forest dwellers sitting up there.
They were all pointing their tiny fingers at the Lithuvar Tribe’s village and when I blinked again, they were gone.
W-What does that mean?
