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!
