Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

I dash along the ground covered by mist, heading in the direction Aruane disappeared in.

Aruane is a strong enemy. On top of that, she has the undead white mage Ool as a means of healing. She’s not an opponent I can take on at all.

However, she’s already been injured from Aro-dono’s brave and ingenious plan. Ool’s mana should have been considerably reduced as well.

I don’t know how much of an effect that had, but… To have any chance of winning, I’ve no choice but to be optimistic. I already knew long ago that my path to victory would be narrow.

In the first place, against a superior foe, reversing the battle situation in a single move is beyond my capabilities. Aro-dono and atlach-dono are cunning, possess skills with excellent single-hit power, and have the stats to back it up.

However, as I’m fundamentally a battle-of-attrition type, even though I can reliably win against weaker enemies, I can’t create opportunities against stronger opponents. I understand that fact more than anyone. I do have [Meteor Stamp], but that’s not a move that can hit when used by me alone.

During the battle, I’ll need to find some other path to victory. Whether or not such a path will exist is beyond me.

However, it is because I don’t know for certain there’s meaning in fighting. At least, there’s no reason for me to stand by and leave Aro-dono and atlach-dono to die. If I consider it further, it’s clear that the option of running away simply isn’t available to me. Hence, I can only press on. No matter how narrow a road this will turn out to be.

After heading straight for a time, the path ahead splits left and right along a cliff wall, leading to separate locations.
