Ch . 127 Slug Hell
The big slugs surroundings are now covered in a sticky liquid . What’s your plan here? Some kind of secret skill to trap me? Is it like caltrops? I would be like a hanging fly if I go straight in, caught like a roach in a sticky roach motel trap, and in that time you would launch your attack .
I think the best way to break through would be using [[Scorching Breath]] as it has the most power . I can evaporate it all at once .
I jump towards the big slug as originally planned . When the big slug noticed, it turned its head to the ground and gouged out the flowers as it dived into the ground using [[Dig]] to escape .
It would be fine if it actually escaped, but i don’t think it can live in the desert with such a slimy body . There is no way that he will let go of this place . It will only be trying to keep its distance from me . I will put my head into the hole and burn it with a breath attack .
This hole will be its grave .
When approaching the hole, although the enemy couldn’t be seen, [[Presence Sense]] suddenly started reacting .
Not one or two, but numerous bodies have been detected . What is this, it wasn’t like this a little while ago .
[Characteristic Skill [[Presence Sense]] Lv increased from 2 to 3]
As the skill Lv rose, so did my understanding of what was detected .
It was the sticky liquid roughly in the shape of a slug . My field of vision fluctuated and I could see a lot of round things spread around in the liquid he scattered .
The size of the sphere, is about the same size as the ball rabbit when we first met, which happens to be like a softball .
It seems that it was difficult to see thanks to [[Mirage]] . If it’s done in such a large scale [[Presence Sense]] won’t be able to pick it up since it all looks the same and it’s been crafted into small parts .
Even if I could see it…what is it?
The number of spheres is roughly over 30 from the looks of it . Like him they are dirty green…somehow, I feel as though I’ve seen this somewhere before .
Oh wait, I remember, it looks like a frog’s egg .
As I was thinking that, I spit out [[Scorching Breath]] at full power .
The strong flames burn the sticky liquid and large slug’s eggs .
[12 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv–]] activated, 12 bonus points obtained]
With so much of a rank difference, the experience I got from that was so low… .
What were these guys ranked . Well, even I was born with an F rank . No, if you think about it, could they even be considered as born yet? They were eggs .
From the looks of it, about a third of them were outside of my range .
The membranes of the eggs from outside my range begin to break, and the young slugs start to emerge .
Race: Baby-Amagarashi
State: Normal
Lv: 1/25
HP: 12/12
MP: 8/8
They are Rank D- . The difference in status is so much that I only need to scratch them with a fingernail to win .
But…There sure are a lot of them .
“ji-!” “ja-!” “ji-!”
“jii-!” “jii-jii!” “ji-!”
A huge group of baby slugs approaches me while wiggling around like worms . Fast . Reasonably fast, and they are going at it with absolutely no hesitation .
It’s hard to see their figure in the flower garden, but I could cope using [[Presence Sense]] . Perhaps it was lucky that I couldn’t really see them . I would probably look away even if I could see them . Salt, salt, bring me some salt . I ask for the thing that will likely kill them all .
I spin my tail and whack a few of the incoming slugs . The surrounding slugs are crushed, and a few of them stick to the tail .
Ugh, it’s pretty grotesque . Every time one gets taken out I gain an experience point . Though, this is quite efficient, I do not want to keep doing this until I Lv up .
After seeing their brethren being taken out, they take a distance from my tail and spit out a mulch colored liquid .
Ouch!
Although the damage doesn’t get through my scales, it still stings a little . Stop that, do not defile me anymore .
I want to sweep them all up with a breath attack, but the liquid from before makes me want to vomit instead . I had planned to use as little MP as possible, but I can’t hold back now with so many eggs around .
I thought about crushing them using [[Roll]], but the small slugs have neither attack power or defense so there is no need to do so . Besides, I will be disgusted if the guts stick to my back .
The small slugs are somewhat fast, but they are far slower than myself . I’ll just stay away from the weird liquid, shorten the distance and smash them with my tail and fingernails .
Ahh!
The skin of the slug went under my nail!
No way, seriously no way! This is making me want to run away .
When I looked back, I saw Nina holding the ball rabbit with an uneasy expression . While the ball rabbit continues as usual, irresponsibly shaking its ears as if it’s yelling at me to continue .
Actually ball rabbit, what’s with that drool hanging out of your mouth?
What, do you want to eat the slugs?
Which reminds me, aren’t slugs related to shellfish?
No, I don’t even want to consider eating any .
Actually, if it’s the small slugs, even the ball rabbit could beat them down, please switch with me . That way I could be the one protecting Nina, and you could swallow up as many of the small slugs as you want .
While thinking of various things, I finally returned my gaze to the small slugs in front on me . There is a large amount of them, but they are not tough opponents . While I’m being sprayed with a green liquid, I continue to cut them down .
[Lv of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] went up from 29 to 30]
I wonder why, but I’m not at all pleased with the Lv up .
I’m not quite sure but I feel as if I’m reaching a new level of enlightenment .
Finally, the last one was killed with my tail . I turn towards the hole that the big slug dug up . Now, stop hiding behind your harassment tactics . Get out here and let’s settle this .
From inside the hole, small slugs begin to spring out .
It’s a lie… . are we still going to continue slug-leveling… . .
