Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

It’s possible for me to close in on the hecatoncheir, attack with my claw, then quickly withdraw. Even if it blocks with its sword, my speed is superior, so it’s possible for me to get past its guard.

But, this fighting style isn’t great. If anything, the hecatoncheir’s defence and recovery abilities are so high that I’m the one who would ultimately collapse first. [Shadow Dance] prevents me from doing anything other than half-hearted attacks, which are then quickly buried under its defence and recovery. Straightforward attacks aren’t going to work, no matter how I struggle.

That’s why this battle has become a wait-and-see. Having clashed claw against sword several times, I keep my distance and shoot out [Scorching Breath].

The raging flames wrap around the hecatoncheir. But, I know that this is meaningless in front of its resistances. I know it’s essentially wasting MP, but I want to see how it reacts to having its vision blocked.

At present, I don’t see any method of beating it. So, I’ll test everything I can do, one by one.

The silhouette remains motionless inside the flames. It’s not using [Shadow Dance]. It probably intends to preserve MP until it gets completely dangerous. Just how patient is this thing…?

I chase the flames and swipe at the figure, damaging one of the arms that it sticks outs to defend.

Then, I take a hold of the hecatoncheir and slam my tail against the ground to leap up.

H-heavy… This stupidly huge statue bastard… But this weight should only let me slam it against the ground even harder.
