Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ - Chapter 589

589 – Black Sphere Attack
I focus my concentration on the incoming black sphere. To start with, I need to find out what I can about it.

【[Origin Matter]: L (Legendary) rank monster】
【A mysterious sphere that existed even in the primordial world.】
【It is thought of to have descended from a higher dimension.】
【It can freely wield powerful space and light magic.】
【In addition, time is in stasis inside the sphere, sealing those it absorbs inside.】

Wh-what is this… Higher dimension? Stasis?

I didn’t want to have been right, but it’s a Legendary monster. I’ve been underestimating this Forest of Ngai. I wasn’t expecting a Legendary to come out so easily. In this vast forest of giant trees, I didn’t expect to see a sky-piercing tower, a pack of A+ monsters, and now this stupidly powerful monster in such quick succession.

Did it evolve without a divine skill? No, that shouldn’t be impossible! The slime died because it evolved without a divine skill and took on the [God of Destruction] skill.

However, the fact that it’s chasing me probably means it’s afflicted by [God of Madness]. Even though it’s a Legendary monster, God’s Voice disposed of it by throwing it in here. That magic attack might have been its best, and it might not actually be very powerful.

My wish is instantly shattered. This black sphere is clearly stronger than me.

I have 【Magic: 4615】, but the origin matter has 【Magic: 4999】.

I can understand why that attack was so powerful and large-scale now. I’m still only【Lv: 125/150】, so the 15 level difference makes a significant difference.

I see a lot of unfamiliar and ominous-sounding skills, but… The one that’s drawing my attention most is that divine skill.

【Divine skill [Animal Realm (replica): Lv-]】
【A replica of [Animal Realm].】
【It has none of the power of the original, but can prevent those who have evolved with the power of Animal Realm from degrading as a result of the God of Destruction state.】

…This explains how it’s able to continue existing as a Legendary monster. God’s Voice probably made this skill as a way of evading Laplace.

The purpose is probably to keep it around for raising the level of those like me, as the the surface world doesn’t have experience. Looking at the origin matter’s status…it looks like it must have been the Magic Beast King of thousands of years ago.

Since then, it has been wandering this forest of Ngai, tormented by never ending nightmares, only for the purpose of being killed one day… If myself, Aro, and treant don’t manage to escape from here, we’ll be forced to suffer the same fate.

I knew how absurd God’s Voice is. But, the more I know of God’s Voice’s evil deeds, the more nauseated I feel.

The origin matter probably isn’t alone. There are no doubt many others roaming around this forest in a similar state.

Keeping my distance from the origin matter, I fly around it. Countless beams of black light shoot towards me. They slip past me and plummet down to the ground.

This skill is probably [Dark Ray]… I can just about manage dodging at this distance, but I absolutely don’t want to try getting closer.

It’s the same type as Aro. It has low attack and speed, but as long as it has MP, its magic so versatile that it has no weaknesses.

“[Dark Sphere]!”

The three Aros cast simultaneous [Dark Spheres]. But, I can’t afford to support her with my movements right now. The origin matter easily avoids the three [Dark Spheres].

『This!』

As it dodges, I throw a [Dimension Claw] at it. I feel my claw digging into it.

But, it doesn’t seem even slightly perturbed by being hit by the [Dimension Claw] of an oneiros. It’s not as though the damage didn’t go through, but… This thing is way too tough. I’m also struggling to avoid its attacks, so I couldn’t put much force into the attack.

As I’m flying around, trying to decide how to attack, I spot a change in the pattern on its surface. I watch closely, and then a sharp pain blossoms in my shoulder.

Damn it! This must be its [Dimension Rend] skill! I twist my body to the side, doing my best to make the cut shallow.

That was dangerous… If I had taken a direct hit, it might have been enough to knock me to the ground.

I have no idea how to tell where its [Dimension Rend] is aiming. Combined with its rapid-fire [Dark Ray], I can’t stay in one spot at all.

While flying away, I glance at the Aros and treant on my back… As I am now, I shouldn’t be fighting the origin matter.

My level still isn’t high enough to fight it on equal terms. It’s not completely impossible for me, but it’d descend into a mudslinging contest. I’d have no way of guaranteeing the safety of Aro and the treant.
