Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

I end up not using [Dragon Mirror] on the way back to the waterfall cavern. Having used [Flight] to hop over the cliff wall, I remain in my oneiros form all the way.

It doesn’t matter if I get surrounded by fenrirs or attacked by the killer queen, my stats are now plenty to deal with them. Since it’s not clear how long we have until Lilixira’s attack, I’m not going to run from combat. Rather, I’ll greedily aim for it.

Feeling a distant gaze on my back, I slow down to allow myself to be tailed. Glancing backwards, I spot four glowing spots floating in the mist. A fenrir.

Fenrirs are two ranks below me… Now that my level has increased, they're no match for me. Moreover, this one's level is high and the fenrirs’ belligerent nature makes them reckless, so it’s a convenient prey for me. The waterfall cavern is close, but I’ll raise my level a little more.

I slow down. The footsteps draw close. Now that it’s so near, it doesn’t seem to have any intention of hiding.

I turn around. The four eyes of the ferocious black beast glint and drool drips from between gaps in its teeth.

I wonder why though? Compared to the fenrir I avoided on the way out, this one somehow seems much smaller. The size shouldn’t be any different, so I guess it must just be the psychological effect of my massive advantage in stats.

Just as it’s about to leap at me, it suddenly flinches backwards. I don’t know if it’s because of the atmosphere around me or the fenrir’s intuition, but it seems to have noticed the difference in ability.

“Gi… gigi, gi…”
