Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

I fly towards the tower. Once I’ve gotten part of the way there, the hecatoncheir suddenly stirs and raises its sword. It really is alive… I knew from its status, but it was still hard to imagine that it could be alive without a head and with so many arms.

『…You lost your sense of self, and were made to guard here for thousands of years. Let’s do this, Hecatoncheir! I’ll put an end to you!』

While closing in, I release a [Dimension Claw]. The hecatoncheir’s stone surface becomes faintly scratched. I release three more [Dimension Claws] in follow up.

Taking my attacks without flinching, it swings its giant sword. But, its movement is too big, and it’s not very fast. It might be a hasty counterattack while under fire, but compared to Lilixira it’s a poor movement.

I fly up and twist my body to quickly change my trajectory. The air behind me is cut. I successfully avoided its distance-ignoring blade on the first time.

Just because an attack ignores distance, it doesn’t mean it can’t be dodged. I had a lot of my attacks dodged by Howgrey and Lilixira, so I know this well.

While continuing to close the distance, I send out another [Dimension Claw]. I aim at the same spot, deepening the wound. I’ve already hit it five times now.

My sixth [Dimension Claw] is blocked by its sword. Immediately after, it swings its sword to release a [Dimension Rend]. Unable to dodge in time, it cuts into my shoulder.

My scales are cut and blood sprays out. But it’s not a lot of damage. It seems I’ll be fine even if I take a lot of hits. I can easily heal this much with [High Rest] or [Autoregeneration], so there's no need for me to fight timidly.
