Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

『Inside the gigant’s body are the captured souls of hundreds of humans and monsters. After Demon Lord-sama takes the skills of adventurers, I dispose of the remaining skills and memories, and then cast them out as convenient. But the adventurers who no one would notice the disappearance of are instead thrown underground, to become food for the gigant.』

Rogueheil’s [Telepathy] continues.

By destroying skills, the memories are also harmed… I had faintly expected that. Skills are the products of experiences and instinct. Having your skills taken away means losing their source, too. Thinking along those lines, it’s clear why both Douz of Miria’s village, and Modi’s daughter Luon lost their sanity.

『Hey, parter! The one at the back is just trying to get on your nerves! The gross things are coming!』

I know that. This is Rogueheil’s provocation. By sharing information that no longer matters, he hopes to enrage me, break my concentration, and cause me to move without thinking. I understand that, but I can’t wholly ignore it, either.

『After Demon Lord-sama has taken most of their skills, in a state of insanity, they are devoured by the gigant and their soul is captured. They continue to moan in agony, still not understanding anything of what has happened to them! Is it terrifying!? It’s terrifying, isn’t it? It’s the fate that awaits you shortly! Hyohyo, hyohhyohhyo!』

I can’t help but focus on Rogueheil’s words. I know it’s better to ignore him. But I can’t manage that.

『I can hear the cacophony of moans from the corpses with my [Telepathy]. Let me out, please let me out, kill me… It hurts, aah, it hurts… Hyohyohyohyo, it makes me laugh!』

“GuuUU…”
