Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ~Lets Aim to Be the Strongest~
543. Bad Boy Ghost Trap (side: Trent)
I ran through the land of fog and headed in the direction of the disappearance of Arane.
Arane is a mighty enemy.
Besides as a means of recovery, he has his own hand pawn, the undead white magician Oulu.
I am not a very hostile opponent alone.
But Alone has already been wounded by Lord Aro's tactics of wisdom and courage.
Oulu's magic should be quite sharpened, too.
I don't know how far that sounds... but when it comes to opportunity, I can only hope.
I understand all too well that the winning muscle is thin.
In the first place, I cannot take a form of battle that can overshadow my opponent with one shot.
Lord Aro and Lord Atlanato are tricky and possess skills and stats that are good at the power of a single blow.
But I am a protracted war-type, so even if I can beat the opponent below steadily, I can't create a chance for the opponent above.
I know that best.
There is a [Meteor Stamp], but that is not the kind of move I can hit alone.
We need to find other winners in the fight.
It's like I don't know if I have a chance.
But if you don't know, there's a point in trying.
At least it can't be a reason to stop here and kill Lord Aro and Lord Atlanato.
Poke it out and think, it's easy to conclude that I don't have the choice to run back as I am.
Then we have to move on. no matter how narrow the path was.
Straight ahead, it was along a large cliff wall, going out to a place where the end of the road was left and right apart.
Uhm...... did Arane go right or left?
No, it's not an unthinkable story either that I went upstairs.
Wouldn't there be anything like fingernail marks left somewhere?
On the cliff wall, I noticed a big crack.
I tried to shift my gaze to another place... but I could see the edge of the crack on that cliff glowing black.
Oh, is that... isn't that the special yarn that Lord Atlanat manipulates?
Lord Atlanat left it behind.
If you think about it, Tsujitsu fits.
Arane was hiding Lord Atlanat somewhere and was about to rendezvous with Lilixilla once.
For example, isn't it a good place to keep Lord Atlanato locked up, such as a cave on a cliff wall!
... If it was Lord Aro, I'm sure he noticed this right away when he followed Arane to the cave.
I'm glad Lord Atlanat tipped me.
And yet this cave seems to be quite large...... it was only a little small for me.
I can barely get in, but I can't do anything decent to move around and avoid Arane's attacks.
If you move around and break down the cave, you could bury Lord Atlanat alive.
However, if we wait outside, Arane may try to kill Lord Atlanat and satisfy the conditions for full operation in [Blood Doll].
Word then was faux, and it might be possible to take him alive to be Rixilla's [Spirit Servant] as originally planned... Mmm, mmm...
Yes, something like waiting outside for Lord Atlanat to be killed!
If you can't threaten me anymore, you've already made up your mind!
I used [wood spiritualization].
My big body keeps getting smaller and smaller.
As usual, it mutated into a bird-like appearance, the size of a human child.
Now we can proceed without worrying about the size of the cave.
If we do not do this, Arane will kill us without being able to move properly in the cave.
However... this figure greatly reduces physical abilities.
We can only use our little bodies to help Lord Atlanat and somehow escape from Arane once and for all.
Help Lord Atlanat while fleeing Arane in a cave that wouldn't be that big because he's gotten smaller... what a clever imitation would be near limitless impossibility.
Besides, this cave is too profitable for Arane.
I don't even know the interior.
I'm sure it's a stupid choice.
If it was a simple chance of winning, it would have been some better to ambush outside.
There is no chance that Lord Atlanat will be taken out alive.
I know that too. I know, but I didn't want to take that choice.
I tried to stick to the walls in the cave and moved forward, as quietly as possible, but not too late.
I don't hear anything like Arane's footsteps.
Not here?
No, that can't be right.
I checked from nearby, but that was indeed Lord Atlanat's yarn.
Already took Lord Atlanato out of here...?
No, Arane was injured.
I should have had to let Oul heal me.
Then if you come here and retrieve Lord Atlanat and leave, it's a little too fast to act that you're not even in contact with me.
... Something happened and you couldn't get into this cave?
Then no more luck for me!
Let's retrieve Lord Atlanat and Lord Aro and let them hide somewhere until the Lord has laid down the Sexual Evil Woman.
So my role should be perfect.
"I thought you were coming, I thought. Because, Arane knows, what she knows. You, the most timid, but the sweetest thing. That's why Arane knows."
Behind my back, I heard voices.
Looking back, there was an array of Arane and a faceless oul that drew a body full of blood.
"This cave is the main road. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Arane didn't see you any lower. I thought you were more dangerous than that dying undead sister who hasn't shown you the bottom yet. So I was going to ask you to follow me and fight me in a situation where I couldn't go back to where I was. If you don't come... then you'll just run around, so you can ignore it"
We were blocked from exiting.
He was hiding somewhere.
Rock shade in the cave or perhaps deeper in the cave......
I thought you were lucky.
But my determination to hang everything made it all meaningless with such a simple ploy on the part of the devil.
"I'm sorry. Arane, Arane will never beat you in the game. 'Cause I see everything."
Arane opens her eyes wide.
… Again, Arane was not the person I could handle.
I stood on the spot.
There's nothing I can do now.
At the very least, running to Lord Atlanat will be finished pierced from his back by Ariane's claws before he reaches them.
Lord Aro... I'm sorry.
There was no winning streak.
This demon was never caught off guard with our opponents either.
I felt slightly warm in my hand, perhaps only because I am thinking of taking the body of Lord Atlanat to the Lord's Palace after this, to conserve a little strength and magic for it.
"So... shall we finish it? I'll take you to that spider kid. Most of all, Arane can't move both of them because the only way to manipulate them at the same time is to limit them."
Arane threw something at me.
Colored with clean white and poisonous blood-like red, it looked familiar somewhere.
My thoughts were interrupted for a moment.
It was Lord Atlanat's leg.
Arane seemed to have disposed of Lord Atlanat and then turned around and waited for me, and I understood that somewhere pale.
My thoughts turned white, and I couldn't move.
"Goodbye, brave man of the puppet"
Arane flies up.
I could see the red liquid covering Arane's fingers in the universe, which clotted and became a disastrous nail.
