Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

『Even though I acknowledged you as a great swordsman, I did not expect you to make a fool of me to this extent.』

“I have no intention of fighting you as a swordsman. As long as I can defeat you, that is enough. You have become a puppet of God, and had begun a pointless slaughter.”

『Do not become conceited simply because you stole my sword! You are already at your limit! Even empty-handed, my attacks are more than you can endure!』

Unfortunately, it is as Ares says.

I have been pushing my body beyond its limits to dodge his sword. With each strike I avoided, my body screamed. That stress built up, and led to me having to block Ares' sword and being thrust to the ground.

I’ve applied enough emergency healing with [Autoregeneration] to be able to move, but my next attack will surely be the last. I will pour all of my remaining energy into it.

I look at the chipped golden sword in my hand, magiatite.

『Guh… Ugh…』

The chipped-off fragments of metal are rolling across the floor to rejoin his core. He’s fortunately somehow still alive. But it doesn’t look like I can push him any further.
