333. A Necessary Sacrifice 

Treant's face went blank after I threw him in the air.
Even Partner became aghast and is looking up at Treant with a surprised expression.

I spread my wings to slow down our fall and swing my head upward to throw Alo off me, with the intention of catching and securing her in my mouth.

"R-Ryujin-sama!"

Alo freaks out and tries to evade me, but I open my mouth wide and clamp her shut.
Her skin tastes odd compared to normal humans, and after it got into contact with my saliva, it started to taste like mud.
Wait, now's not the time to think about that.

Hey Partner, Petite Nightmare stuck her web on you, right?
Pull her in and keep her safe in your mouth, will you?

Petite Nightmare is also riding on Partner's head, like Alo was on me, and it cut off the web that it used to stick on Partner so it wouldn't fall.
It must really not want to get inside our mouths.
I-It's just for a short while! A short while! I'm about to do something dangerous!

Petite Nightmare then jumps away from us and joins Treant in free-falling.
...... O-Okay, that seems to be an option.

Alo is safe in my mouth and Nightmare distanced herself from us too.
I also threw Treant up and away as well.
Now I can fight against Adam without any restrictions.

Adam had already jumped from the ground and is coming at me in the air despite no flight capabilities.
That〖High Jump〗 is a surprisingly terrifying skill.
Back when the Grafant used it, I didn't really think highly of it that much, but now I know how dangerous it is when an even more threatening monster uses it against me.
I have〖Flight〗though, so I don't really need it myself.

Still, Adam's attack stat is crazy high.
Speed is also high. It might even know a few melee tricks up its sleeve.
It must also be confident enough for it to attempt a close combat against a higher ranked dragon like me.
But, none of that will matter once my own attack overwhelms it.
Whatever attack it'll hit me with, I'll repel it back and counter with my own.

I spin my whole body downwards vertically while falling straight towards the approaching Adam.
Let me introduce you to my best friend,〖Roll〗!
Even if you're a master of close quarter combat, let's see how you deal with this!

Adam gathers more leg muscles again and hits me with a strong roundhouse kick.
In the face of my sturdy, high-speed, rotating scales, his feet get scraped off.
His leg even got bent in the wrong direction.
I increase the speed of my roll and pursue Adam.
Then, I slam Adam's back with a roll-enhanced〖Dragon Tail〗, and Adam instantly plummets to the ground.

So, I guess when two monsters of the same rank fight each other, having〖Status Inspection〗or not makes a huge difference.
If Adam knew I had〖Roll〗, it wouldn't have risked approaching me.
Adam crashes, landing back first, and dents the earth.
I follow suit and crash on top of it, still rolling at high speed.
The dent became a large crater and the impact blew away all the nearby Leygla.

Adam extends its arm forward while letting out a machine-like "Vavavavavavavava" screech, before eventually breaking into silence and stops moving.


【Obtained 4672 Experience Points.】
【〖The Walking Egg: Lv—〗skill gives you additional 4672 Experience Points.】
【The Lv of〖Ouroboros〗went up from Lv 92→96.】

It's...... it's dead.
So, this is a rank A-, huh. I sure gained a lot of exp points.
Four levels in one go, whoa.

The eyes below Adam's chest are still wide open and staring at me.
That's just freaky. ...... It won't get back up later, will it?
Despite its body being malformed and bloodied due to my incessant rolling, its original shape is still intact.

Either way, I'm glad my〖Roll〗got a clean hit.
If he had avoided it with its high speed and reflexes, I'd have been under heavy fire from those black gravity spheres by now.
I was only able to kill it because it couldn't get away from my〖Roll〗in time, not to mention that I even crushed it upon landing.
I should count myself lucky. Since its defense stat was high, if I hadn't done what I did, this fight would've dragged on until one of us tired out from exhaustion.

Maybe it's about time I start making use of my Ouroboros characteristics during battle.
Though, with the current me, I'm not sure if I'm capable of showcasing the Ouroboros's unique traits.
The ideal way would be to show off its toughness and high magical capacity by standing behind a group of undead forces that I create with〖Fake Life〗and holding out until the enemy gets weakened so I can deal the finishing blow myself...... right?
Hmm...... but, I don't really want to use〖Fake Life〗that many times.
Why don't I think of a tactic that lets me utilize〖Disease Breath〗and〖Poison Fang〗first instead?

While thinking to myself, a shadow looms over us and I look upwards.
Treant is seen still free-falling in the sky right above me, so I spread my wings and prepare to catch him.
I slope my wings to dampen the shock from the fall and let Treant roll down to earth safely.
After it stood back up, it looked at me disgruntled.
I-I had no choice! It was the only way to beat him!

Which reminds me...... I open my mouth and stick out my tongue.
Alo slowly crawls out of me. She's covered in my saliva and some parts of her body are slightly dissolving.

"............"

Alo gives me a dead blank stare while lying on the ground.
Feeling bad, I close my eyes and lower my head in repentance.

Petite Nightmare, who didn't get thrown or eaten by me, has already returned to our side without me realizing it.
...... That spider sure gets the gist fast.
But I guess, for now, it'll be easier to move around this island at the edge of the world.
Let's hope there aren't any more monsters as strong as that Adam here.

If we use〖Fake Life〗on that Adam, we can have ourselves a strong ally to rely on, but I kinda also don't wanna do that.
Guess I'll just bury it somewhere around here...... huh? W-Where'd its corpse go?

Looking to my left, Partner is seen munching on a humanoid foot in her mouth.

【"Surprisingly delishous"】

W-What are you doing?! I mean, what have you done?!
I get that we're hungry. I get that, but there are things you should and shouldn't eat, even if they're edible!
Spit it! Spit it out! I don't want to digest anything humanoid in me!

【"So annoying......"】

Partner says to me in a bored tone and spits out a leg.
The leg was all she spat, then she gulped the rest of what was in her mouth.

【"Here's ur share"】

I never said I wanted to eat it!
I can't eat something that weird!
