Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ～Lets Aim to Be the Strongest～ Chapter 186

Chapter 186
Ch . 186 – Big Tumultuous Battle
I can see that there are more than eighty red ants just from roughly looking around the area .


Ya know… your total fighting force is just too much, red ants .


I quickly take a deep breath . As I do so, Adofu rolls and falls back underneath me .


That’s some good judgment .


If Adofu didn’t move quickly, then this preemptive strike would’ve probably failed .


Bringing my neck and body around, I breathe out [[Scorching Breath]] and let loose a torrent of flames in all directions .


The red ants, far from pulling back, instead jump right into my flames as if that’s their signal .


”Kucha!!” “Kucha!” “Kuchaa!!”


I fight back while using my claws, tail, and wings to their fullest .


The poison has made the red ants’ movement sluggish enough to make it possible to deal with them .


But even though it’s possible, it’s still very difficult .


To start with, red ants are tougher when compared to other C-ranked monsters due to their [[Auto-Regeneration]] skill .


Even if I knock them to the ground with a single strike from my claws, they just get back up and go back to snapping at me…there aren’t many other monsters who would do that .


I can’t reliably direct enough attention to any one single ant to finish them off .


If I let up with my claws, tail, and wings even once, I’m going to be attacked severely .


They’re rushing at me without end .


Any red ant that gets damaged quickly falls back and immediately gets replaced by moreants waiting in the back .


All that while the retreating red ants use [[Auto Regeneration]] to repair their wounds .


Thanks to the number of opponents, I can hardly hit any of them with a finishing blow .


”Kuchaa!!”


Suddenly, a red ant that I thought had retreated after being dealt a heavy blow, instead vigorously bites into my arm!


The red ant figured out when my attention would be diverted from it and managed to land a precise hit on me through a gap in my defenses!


The red ant wants to use this chance to throw me off so that the rest of them can rush in and take me down .


”GuuoOO!!”


While the red ant is still biting into my arm I encase my surroundings with the flames from [[Scorching Breath]] .


I slam the red ant on my arm against the ground, and I’m finally able to kill one of them . This took longer than before .


[Obtained 360 Experience Points . ]


[t.i.tle Skill [[Walking Egg Lv -]] activated, 360 bonus points obtained . ]


…If I can’t escape after acc.u.mulating enough experience points, then I’ll have to evolve inside the nest .


Adofu is standing at my feet and slicing at red ants with his large sword .


Though he’s mostly only using himself as a distraction, he’s effectively reducing the number of ants focusing on me .


I appreciate it very much .


…However, because of where he is standing, Adofu is always in my blind spot . Because of that, I’m worried that if I turn my head to fire off a breath attack, or start movingmoving suddenly, I’ll accidentally hit him .


”…Excuse me for a bit . ”


Adofu suddenly climbs up my tail, and from there leaps onto my shoulder . He defends against a red ant that attacked me, compensating for my own mistake .


Oohh, my bad . You saved me there .


After Adofu repels a red ant, I skewer it with my claws and slam it against the wall .


[Obtained 403 Experience Points . ]


[t.i.tle Skill [[Walking Egg Lv -]] activated, 403 bonus points obtained . ]


[Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 63 to 64 . ]


Alright, my level’s gone up .


It’s going to be a little tough, but at this rate I’m likely to raise myself by 10 more levels all in this one fight .


”Pefu!!”


[Ahead! Back Turn Around!]


Listening to the ball rabbit’s [[Telepathy]] I quickly spin around and strike a red ant that leaps at me, letting it fall .


I try to pursue it and cut it down, but once again, red ants are leaping at me from both the left and right side so I focus my attention toward them instead .


I send the ants on my sides flying with a quick gust from my wings, and shift my attention towards the front again . The red ant I just struck down is no longer there, and once again, another ant has taken its place, readying its body to leap at me .


Is this h.e.l.l?


I was too naive .


Even though the poison weakened the red ants, it didn’t create enough of a gap between our physical abilities for me tome to push back this wave .


For a moment, the red ants’ rush stopped .


I’m relieved to have even just an extra second of time . It gives me time to relax .


The next moment, the red ants join together, and with perfect timing, simultaneously attack me from all directions .


Completely trusting my back to Adofu, I turn around to the red ants coming toward me from the front and strike them repeatedly with [[Kamaitachi]] .


After that, I take a step forward, and since the wave of ants in front of me can’t stop since they are being pushed from behind, I shoot a blade of wind directly into them .


After somehow enduring the difficulty from the ants that came from in front, I quickly look behind me .


I don’t think Adofu is able to deal with all the red ants from the rear .


Sure enough, some red ants are able to slip through and are about to jump me .


There are five of them .


I prioritize mitigating any damage to me, and launch [[Dragon Punch]] repeatedly at them as an uppercut .


For the last remaining one, I ram into it with a headb.u.t.t .


”Kucha!!” “KuchAA!!” “Kucha!!”


The red ants cry out .


The ground beneath me melts, and swallows up my feet .


Once again, with impeccable timing, they simultaneously attack using [[Clay]] to alter the pa.s.sageway . They opted for a two-stage attack .


I try to pull my foot out with all of my strength, but it doesn’t budge .


Naturally, the red ants don’t miss this opportunity .


They
opportunity .


They again crowd around me .


”Kuchaa!!” “Kuchaa!!


The red ants cry out again .


This time, the ceiling deforms, and a red needle starts to grow out of it towards me .


What the h.e.l.l? These guys have far too much technique!


The clay below me is trapping my feet, and the clay above me is now a needle .


And finally, a swarm of red ants are heading toward me .


This is just bad in general .


The worst is that I can’t free my foot .


Is- is this the end…?


”…This is bad, but I swore revenge on Irushia for my relatives . He is a man whom I must not let live . ”


Adofu says this before rushing into the swarm of red ants .


And like that, he pushes his way through the red ants . While parrying off the red ants’ attacks with his large sword, he continues advancing forcibly .


W- What is this?


Are you fleeing?


But no, this is not a place that you can forcibly break through .


You’ll absolutely get lynched on the way and it’ll be all over for you!


Adofu swings his large sword and slashes a red ant that’s in his way .


But before he can finish, a red ant that’s in Adofu’s blind spot tackles him to the ground .


Adofu swiftly recovers and takes on a defensive posture . The surrounding red ants are glaring at him while readying themselves .


”[[Decoy]]”


When Adofu chants the magic skill, a red ant that is just about to leap at me suddenly stops in its tracks .
